Sites like StackOverflow require JavaScript to work (or at least, to work in a manner approaching interactivity). So, even someone who disables JavaScript normally, would presumably enable it in order to use this popular and useful site. Furthermore – and importantly – they place trust in StackOverflow not to abuse the privilege of executing arbitrary JavaScript. That is an entirely reasonable thing for a technically savvy modern web user to do.

By serving this ad with JavaScript not vetted to StackOverflow's presumed standard, StackOverflow has violated that trust. Thus the onus is on them, not the user, to remove the offending ad or risk damaging their brand.

Honestly, what you said is like saying "why would you ever not keep a hand on your wallet" after someone got pickpocketed in a nice restaurant. Reasonable people have reasonable expectations of safety in certain places which they trust to provide it for them. No-one should go around being constantly paranoid of pickpockets everywhere, no more than anyone on the web should be constantly paranoid of malicious JavaScript even on sites with established records of safety.

You may not, but many do. Those many may actually be a small minority, but it would really suck for those folks.

At the end of the day, sometimes I need to run random x86/64 executables and there isn't any way around that. I could deal with a performant virtual machine.
On your first point, manufacturers moving to places with lower cost human labor with laxer standards does not 'subsidize' substandard living conditions, it raises them. Look at the massive economic growth that has occurred in places like China. If we pull out, standards in poor countries will get worse not better.

I have the WH-CH700N you mentioned. It was more of an impulse buy at Amazon, but they are fine headphones. I compared them in the meantime to other NC headphones in the low to medium price category and I think they compare favorable there. I found them more comfortable to wear than others (e.g. the Sennheisers), the physical control buttons are nice, Bluetooth works flawlessly, battery life is good, and sound is also decent.

The downsides are that one can only pair them with a single device at a time (all Sony headphones do that), whereas others can do two devices, and that the noise cancellation is a lot weaker than on the class leaders (Sony 1000XM3 and Bose QC35). Sound quality might be bit weaker too, but I doubt most people would notice. I might want to upgrade to one of those at some point of time.

If you have the money, use the headphones more often in noisy environments or just wear them often enough that the pricy doesn't matter too much investing in the class leaders certainly won't be a regrettable decision.

I wouldn't go for a non noise cancelling option now anymore. Even in my apartment the sound is better when I can block out the outside street noise.
Wikipedia disagrees and says that as of the second century CE it ceased to be used as a mother tongue and was only used in the context of religious rituals, etc up until its revival. The article is decently sourced.

> Good. That's the direction the mobile world has already been going for a decade now.

I genuinely don't understand this argument at all -- either you understand something about native platforms that I don't, or you're working under the assumption that all of your native apps:

a) aren't already vacuuming your data at the same rate as web apps.

b) wouldn't get considerably worse if they replaced the web ecosystem.

On the first point, native sandboxing is almost universally terrible. There's some promising stuff happening (notably with MacOS and with Flatpak/Wayland) but it's all just playing catch-up to where the web was years ago.

Pick just about any company that maintains both a website and a native version of the same app -- almost universally, the web version is safer to use. Nobody should be installing Facebook, Twitter, or Reddit on their phone. In fact, I would say the single best piece of advice I can give to anyone to improve their privacy/security on their phone is to stop installing things.

On the desktop, the situation is better, mainly because the desktop is very slowly turning into a niche platform and the web is a much more attractive place to put skuzzy, privacy-violating software. But this is a bit like the old argument that MacOS was more secure than Windows because no one was targeting Mac with viruses at the time. Get rid of the web and all of those skuzzy developers you hate aren't going to go away, they're just going to start making native apps. Where, again, the current sandboxing for most users and OSes is completely inadequate.

If your security model on the desktop is, "I'll only run code I trust", you can already do that on the web today. You can already turn off Javascript. And if you don't feel like the modern web-app ecosystem accommodates that decision, then what makes you think a theoretical, purely native world would accommodate you running a small, tight system that only includes code you trust? I can run a beautiful, tight Linux system because I don't have to install much software on it.

The unfortunate, horrible problem, is that running code we don't trust is gonna be necessary, no matter what world we move to. Sandboxing and permission systems are something we are going to have to figure out. Web or not, there is never going to be a world where you'll be able to trust all of the code you run on your computer. And currently, despite the many problems that browsers have, they're still still the best consumer-accessible solution for sandboxing code.

Of course integration and app performance suffers on the web. But frankly, neither of those are more important than sandboxing.
It's mentioned in the post we're commenting on.
I use bluetooth Bose headphones day in day out day out, but in all honesty my next bluetooth headphones will be in-ear and non noise cancelling - e.g. AirPods.

In-ear headphones are orders of magnitude lighter than on-ear or over-ear ones. They're much more comfortable when you wear them for more than a few hours. And seeing how my on-ear headphone's ear cups look like a dog's chew toy after a year, I'd add that they're more durable to boot.

Perhaps most importantly IMO is that they don't have noise cancellation. There's plenty of situations where you most definitely do not want noise cancellation, including but not limited to when walking outdoors or riding a bike to notice approaching dangerous situations earlier, and when someone you care about is trying to talk to you.

In a future where victory isn’t decided with small arms, it’s really just a part of the constitution for history and symbolism’s sake.

Do you see China invading us with an army? No, they’re flooding our markets with cheap goods and putting us out of business. Do you see the American government taking away your rights by force? No, they’re just slowly chipping away at them generation by generation, where each generation is none the wiser to the rights that were taken from the previous one.

What future do you imagine where small arms will actually protect you from it’s threats?
That is true of your life maybe, but not mine!
Interesting tidbit in the video. At 1:43 you see a MAX in Jet Airways livery - an airline that ceased operations and terminated all flights about 1 month after the grounding began.
One thing that might not be clear from the paper: while the Gibbon compiler currently handles a small subset of Haskell, we plan to deploy it by integrating with GHC. That is, we want to make it possible to compile a subset of your Haskell program through Gibbon, while seamlessly calling that accelerated code from regular Haskell code utilizing the full library ecosystem.
While "your servers are vulnerable no matter on prem or cloud" is true - there are some sitautions in which the cloud has other risks I never considered until it was an issue.

We had a set of sites on a special hardened security wise anti=hack anti ddos platform... and when that cloud got hacked they got all of our stuff and everyone else's and put it all on the dark net I believe. This was apparently because one of their customers was a semi-high profile target..

We found out a couple days later when the credit card on file started being used around the world, and that card had only ever been used at 2 places. We were not notified by the company.

We did read about it in a story a couple days later that named our hosting company in a sidenote when noting the one client that was hacked / defaced / exposed whatever.

Sadly in this case we would of been better off with non-cloud, non-extra-secure hosting.

As others have said, if it's connected it's vulnerable, I agree. There are different risks for different hosting situations.

The design can be timeless without the design being beautiful. The design is more than its appearance.

That doesn’t hold even without the equivocation on the meaning of “flat”. The universe may have a flat average curvature but in the neighborhood of a black hole it is very much not flat (both usages if “flat” to be taken in the differential geometry sense).
Yeah, and if they want to go somewhere there isn't already an existing shipping route, they're out of luck!

The problem with built-in generics is that they are quite ad-hoc and hard to reason about. Each generic built-in function is re-implemented by hand in the compiler.

If we call this type of ad-hoc implementation "generics", we're going down a very deep rabbit hole, since then almost any programming language can be said to have generics. For instance, Write[Ln] in Pascal, sizeof() in C, all array functions in Java pre-1.5. In other words, technically when people say "Language X lacks generics" they always mean "Language X lacks orthogonal, predictable, non ad-hoc, user defined generics".

Hi, in my sparetime I help some of the linux packaging for Brave. We are looking for people to help us do this very thing. We provide packaged for deb, rpm, and snap. I maintain the snaps for brave but have been disappointed with the performance. If you are willing to test an maintain distros we'd be more than happy to get you involved.
Maybe I'm just old-fashioned, but I much prefer the days of VGA/pre-VGA where software neither knew nor cared whether you had a monitor plugged in --- if the output on the GPU is enabled, then it will output video until/unless you disable it, end of story. None of this new "trying to be smart" complication that just leads to more weird and irritating failure modes.

I wonder if at least part of this is for DRM reasons, because having an always-on and "unauthenticated" video signal output does tends to frighten those IP control-freaks.

I do agree with all the others here that the time newer monitors take to sync to the signal is horribly long. CRTs and some older LCDs were basically instant (although the latter would sometimes auto-adjust on signal changes, meaning a slightly unstable display, at least it was still somewhat readable and visible --- crucial for reading things like BIOS screens, for example.)
If you're at all interested in this subject, I would definitely recommend a close read of this article, it is full of illuminating information.

Personally I've already seen most, if not all, of this stuff covered. I don't dispute the factual accuracy by and large (mostly because I don't have access to any specific information to the contrary), and I'm not convinced there is any kind of conspiracy. It may be a simple as "this is getting more play than it otherwise might due to the current political climate". But I'm also not 100% convinced that there aren't people intentionally pushing this out of a desire to weaken the NRA.

Anyway, we still have the 2FA, CCRKBA, JPFO, GOA, and Grassroots NC to help on the #2A front, and I've let my NRA membership lapse. Whether or not I'll ever renew remains to be seen.

I have a growing concern that even when (if) reasonable heads prevail and we're able to implement sane climate policy in most developed nations, corporations with a vested interest in externalizing costs will simply ignore the law and self-report compliance while actively covering up evidence of non-compliance. This isn't a theoretical thing, we've already seen it happening. It's widespread in fossil fuels (nearly every major player has had disasters, often directly causing human death and injury, in recent years caused by cutting corners, neglect, failure to comply with regulations, etc.), but also in the automotive sector (VW), animal agriculture (e.g. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2017/sep/20/north-caroli...), and others.

Even with our current dangerously lax regulation of these externalities, corporations are doing everything they can to skip out on their responsibilities, and often getting away with it with barely a slap on the wrist. So, what happens when the policies get a lot stricter (I'm being optimistic and assuming the current anti-science rule will somehow end and we'll get some responsible leadership that understands we don't have time to cut emissions gradually any more...we missed that chance by a decade or more) and companies just say, "nah, we're going to keep doing what we were doing"?

In this case, I have no doubt the company knew what they were spewing into the ocean for 14 years, or at least had a good hunch. There's tons of data involved in off-shore wells. And, yet, nobody will go to jail for the immeasurable harm they knowingly caused. Nobody will answer for it, and the executives probably went on to drilling new dangerous wells, while their financial backers probably continue to invest in fossil fuels and profit from it.
Nuclear engineer here. What specifically do you consider the enormous difficulty of nuclear waste to actually be? Technical issues? Political? Both?

That's not how it works. Autonomous cars would need to be a couple of orders of magnitudes safer than humans. Human killing human is one thing and machine killing humans is quite another. But more importantly, the blame currently gets distributed over many people's insurance policies. For autonomous cars, all blame would end up at car manufacturer. Imagine you getting blamed for every single accident that happens ever. Even if you have achieved human-level safe driving and chance of an accident is 0.001%, multiplying that with millions of vehicles is a huge number. A dominant autonomous car manufacturer will be blamed for 4 human deaths each hour even if they have achieved human-level safety.

The rest of Australia begs to differ:

"Conducted in May [2018] by Roy Morgan, the MEDIA Net Trust Survey reveals that while Facebook – and Social Media generally – is deeply distrusted in Australia, the ABC is by far the nation’s most trusted media organisation."

and:

“Australians told us that their trust of the ABC is driven by its lack of bias and impartiality, quality journalism and ethics. While their distrust of Facebook and Social Media is driven by fake news, manipulated truth, false statistics and fake audience measurement.”

AirPods for general day to day travelling when I'm not using a backpack. The Sony 'cans' for noise cancelling and concentrating and added Bass.

Previous Earphones/Headphones: In the last 5 years
* Bose QC35 - Rubbish sound quality for a pair of 300+ headphones. Active Noise cancelling is very pressured, hurts my ears. Microphone picks up EVERYTHING! Do not recommend
* Shure SE215 - Great sub $200 in ear canals with great sound quality. I broke mine cause I stepped on them, decided to go wireless.
* RHA T20i - Great sound quality but the rubber on the earlets broke. I replaced them twice, was to expensive to send to London each 12 months so I gave up on them. Too expensive for this design flaw.
* Master and Dynamic MH40 - Look cool but heavy and expensive. Sound quality doesn't justify the price

Recommendation: The Sony WH-1000XM3 is the bee knees!
What adapter is that?

I respectfully disagree. For a design to be timeless, it means that it feels right through the ages. Feeling right implies "good aesthetics".

There are so many different flavors of AMD64 that it’s not even a single target from my perspective. Check out the quantity of compiler flags and ifdef statements you see in just about everything.

I’ve seen binaries in production run at 30% of the speed seen DEV/QA. These would also segfault every few hours. But debug builds ran fine in production.

Root cause in that case was the Intel server had some hardware instructions available that the Intel developer and QA systems didn’t. The runtime chose to use these fancy new instructions, which turned out to be a buggy and slow code path.

Again, if you’re not doing DEV/QA on hardware (and OS, dependency, and firmware versions) that differ from production you will eventually be bitten.

Everything is so complex and there are so many layers involved it is impossible to have confidence. Containers make this worse in my opinion by adding another complex (and buggy) abstraction layer.
The basics of game programming in Common Lisp
Yes. Those people are called "journalists" following a scoop of major corruption and scandal.

I think it's clear from context that I meant something more than simply journalists reporting on something in proportion to how relevant/topical the story would be on its own merits. Note that I'm just thinking about loud on this though... I'm not positing any specific conspiracy theory or anything. But it is rather coincidental that this comes out during a time when anti-gun rhetoric seems to be flowing at a fever pitch.

What other motive is necessary?

A desire to weaken an organization that has been one of the, if not the, most effective pro-gun lobbying organizations in America for decades? I mean, it's not like there aren't very rich and very powerful people who have declared their intent to foster the anti-gun agenda. Is it really such a reach to think that they're providing a little extra funding / mojo to "encourage" reporting on this?
> But instead manufacturers of laptops, phones, and tablets are putting in substandard batteries to help ensure you come back in a few years for a new one.

which manufacturer is it they're buying from that's substandard, who should they be buying from, and how are those "standard" companies the standard when they have to be making a tiny slice of the batteries on the planet if they're not used in laptops, phones or tablets? in fact, what device would i find one of their standard-quality batteries in?
