You're just pushing your trouble into a shadow layer that's hidden. You still have just as much complexity. It's just not encoded.

If branch A on repo X will only work with branch B on repo Y, you're holding that relationship in an uncoded way. It's true and unrepresented, and you never want that.
Yes, but a time gap of knowledge is just one dimension, whereas I see a gap in every other dimension too. I expect that not every bad actor who would learn from a PoC would learn from a binary, not every one who would learn that actually invest the time to write an exploit, not every one who invests the time would actually come up with an exploit in such a short timespan, and not everyone who does all that will target the same set of customers. Furthermore, as I said in another comment, the existence of prior patches would mean people would still have to update regularly because those disclosures would be expiring anyway, so it's not at all clear to me adding a delay would change that. And there are probably other dimensions I can't think of right off the top of my head.

There should be an easy way to settle this, which is with data, which I have not yet seen anyone point to. I would be shocked if data showed that the number of actual customer systems hacked actually decreases when a PoC is provided quickly after a patch, vs. when this is not the case.
You can set your project / environments to be public, and then anyone with the link can view it. This is useful for the one-off reviewers you mention – you won't be charged for these users (viewers). However, they won't be able to comment / perform writes.

You have control of who you invite to your FeaturePeek team, whether it's a subset of your GitHub org or people outside of GitHub. You'll only be charged for the users you invite.
Does anyone know of a mind-map or info-graphic that sort of lays out the new features and which older features they replace. Something to help someone who hasn't looked at C++ in years get a feel for how to map things?
This reads like Baghead from silicon valley speaking. The current technologies are still too invasive to suggest anything "promising", and their speculated tech is so far futuristic i m not sure if its to be taken seriously. Making an fMRI portable in one's head is .... no small task to put it mildly, especially if you 're going for the 5-7T that state of the art has. The visions are good to the ear but what puts me off about their article is they seem to be taking credit or for the vision and work that many other labs have been doing in the past 3 decades. In comparison, NeuraLinks presentation was more nuanced in presenting their incremental improvements, and they actually have a product.

I don't like that HN upvotes these articles, falling for FB's PR machine and billionaires circlejerking. I thought they could do better. There are very cool neuronal visualization and recording techniques being developed but you never read about them here.
Sounds like that's fairly easily solved by just using a different browser only for your porn habits. If you use FF for your normal web browsing, only use Chrome just for porn, etc.
I think more than anything its that Cannon has really missed the boat when it comes to the transition from still images to video. A decade or two ago, the vast majority of consumers only wanted a camera to shot photographs with, but now most consumers are also at least partially interested in shooting video, with many being primarily interested in video. Other companies have adapted to these changing consumer preferences (Panasonic and Sony especially) while Cannon has lagged behind in terms of rolling out more video focused features like 4K, IBIS, 10 bit color etc. in all but their top of the line models.
While not even close to what this guy does,I do run my IBM thinkpad every now and then,which is probably about 20 years old.I reinstalled Linux recently and it just works..The keyboard is still lightyears better than most of that crap one could find in most of today's laptops.. What the guy does with the computer is amazing and I'm really glad the management allow him to carry on with it.

Maybe a good moment to commemorate the infamous RedTubeGate from 2013 in Germany:

A couple lawyers and fishy business men launch an ad campaign on RedTube. Through that advertisement they collected IP addresses of visitors.

Before launching that campaign they allegedly bought the rights for three cheap porn flicks.

Now they also claim that they have some miraculous software which allows them to track who has been watching those flicks on RedTube. They even get a totally unclear blueprint for that software officially certified by a surveyor. [4]

Then they appeal to a court in Cologne for the real world addresses corresponding to the IP addresses arguing they can prove those poor schmocks watched their illegally uploaded crap flicks.

Suddenly thousands of people receive letters threatening legal action if they do not agree on paying a fee of 250 Euro. Many people comply out of fear for their reputation and just pay.

That's an argument for them being expanded or modified.
Note that both sites also host non-pornographic content and on danbooru it's the dominant kind.
To be honest, it's kind of already happening. It's long been a trend for certain people to use cartoon representations of themselves that look a lot younger/more conventionally attractive than they may be in 'real life', and there are quite a few YouTubers and Twitch streamers using either animated portraits of themselves or fictional characters as their avatars.

The big difference in future will be that more people will be using avatars that look more like actual people/deaged photographs of themselves instead.
It would really help if professors would give you a taste of something applicable before diving deep into the math itself. I suffered through most of differential equations and calculus, but I happened to take a computer graphics course before linear algebra. We learned just enough math to make things work but linear algebra really took a deep dive that I was able to appreciate having had the basics around affine transformations explained in a very visual and intriguing manner.
Human's are not very good at regulating ourselves

“Pilot wave” it’s not a valid theory at all. First, the wave-function is not an observable. Secondly, reproducing interference is no big success - classical physics does that all the time.
Canon ignored m43, put out some crappy mirrorless cameras, sony ate their lunch. I'm not surprised in the least by this.
This 100%. So is there any good way to revisit all the maths in a correct order of operations as they would apply to a topical area of CS in general?

I've picked up a few overview text books and have bookmarked a copious number of math related refreshers but the subject is hard to gauge if the material is good or not. Any MooCs have good tracks that don't cost an arm and a leg?
And those lacking proper education have written even more, if we are now going to start counting.

Some schools have their CS program in the engineering department and have requirements which follow from that dependency. So whether you have an engineering degree depends on the school?

Otherwise I agree, there should be a standard for professional software engineering. There are efforts underway already in that direction.

> That's apparently not "immediate" in the eyes of security researchers, but try asking the average user if that's enough time to expect them to update.

"immediate" has a pretty clear meaning. You might argue that a week delay is not long enough, but it clearly isn't immediate.

> try asking the average user if that's enough time to expect them to update.

I would expect that yes, the average Apple user was updated within a week. You can also argue that if the rollout took too long, that is Apple's fault, not P0

Why is disclosure good?

Companies:

Disclosure in specific instances is often not popular with companies and they try to avoid it because of the bad PR is brings. However, companies benefit from the broad convention of disclosure because disclosures spread knowledge about how to write secure software and how to test for insecurities.

Researchers:

It seems pretty obvious that disclosure is good for security researchers. They get good PR and exposure, without a bug bounty program, that is all they get. (With a bug bounty program, disclosure is often restricted)

Users:

The risk profiles begin to change when a vulnerability is disclosed. After a patch, risks for unpatched users are always going to rise because the patch itself serves as a disclosure of sorts. After the disclosure, this risk does start to rise faster as the pool of people who can exploit the bug expands.

On the flip side, disclosure is important because users need to know when they have been exposed to risk so they can take steps to mitigate that exposure. If a vulnerability allows remote code execution, installing a patch may not be enough if your system is already compromised. If a vulernability exposed communications you thought were secure, any credentials passed using that method need to be rotated.

Finally, not all users' security is equally important. A grandma sending pictures of puppies to her grandchildren does not have the same security considerations as a human rights activist in China. You see this explicitly in embargoed disclosures where a limited set of organizations are informed in advance of the public disclosure.

The length of time between patch and disclosure is thus a trade off between reducing security for high-security users and low-security users. The longer you wait, the more low-security users are patched, but the worse the risks become for the high-security users.

You can't pick an optimum period on a case by case basis, because there are too many unknowns, so the best bet is to use a standard disclosure delay.

I am not arguing the merits of openness, or whatever. But you don't need to travel all of the way to southern US to find that most people even in that age range aren't open about sharing their porn habits.

Claiming there would be no consequences from sharing publicly is unrealistic at best and dishonest at worst.

Exactly. If you want full frame zoomable quality and don't mind the bulk and weight (I don't even on hikes with >1500m altitude difference), there ain't nothing in phones for next decade that can match it.

Photos on best phone sensors look OKish under ideal conditions, and if you don't need any zoom (subpar additional cameras on recent phones are pretty bad so far). Add any zoom, less than ideal light, faster moving objects and even phone sensors rated in DxO Mark over 100 are simply not good enough (I have one of those). Forget night at all.

Yes its enough to clearly see where you are and what you do, but that's about it and any photo aesthetics are often simply not there. Phones of course have huge advantage of almost always being there, but that's another topic. Some of us want to capture important things in life in ways that will stand the test of time better.
Our outward appearance can and do represent what values we identify with. But saying "I'm worthy because I am beautiful" is shallow, which is just another way of saying empty, vain, and without substance.

Besides, why would someone want their worth to come from beauty, which is so fleeting? True and lasting beauty is in virtue, even non-religious people admire the sacrifices of soldiers for the sake of freedom, or the sacrifices of Gandhi for peace. These are truly beautiful.

Physical beauty is empty and devoid of merit. But like anything else we have, our physical height, our intelligence, our gift for music, our gift for software, it can be put to good use in the selfless service of others, at which point it becomes truly beautiful.
You could, at one point. C++98 and C++03 were minor updates, meaning C++ had 22 years where learning it wasn't a fast moving target (between C++89 and C++11). I would happily call myself an expert in that dialect of C++, but getting there took 5-10 years.

I can't call myself a C++ expert anymore, and, in fact, find it hard for anyone to, because with a language so complex, idioms and best practices aren't evolving at the same rate that the standard is changing, especially in cases where one has to deal with a mix of modern C++ and legacy (C++03 and earlier) C++.
High ISO performance, and their auto-focusing systems are put to shame by just about every one else on the market.

While their lens quality and EF mount have probably been their saving grace, I personally don't find their lenses to be worth the cost. I left the Canon ecosystem for Fujifilm's X-Series cameras, and cannot believe the IQ their lenses have, across the board, and they're priced very competitively. I'm just a hobbyist at the end of the day, but when I can get an incredible portrait lens on the second hand market for $650, that rivals L-series glass, it's really really hard to justify that Canon premium.
You can avoid this by not recommending products that are fulfilled by amazon.

I'm a bit interested in making DSLR videos. May I present some anecdotal evidence.

I bought a Canon consumer camcorder (Vixia HF R800) for about $200 last year and it was dismal:

- Tiny sensor -- Terrible performance indoor

- Lacks viewfinder -- terrible performance outdoor

- No 4K, 1080p max

- Abysmal bitrate 25Mbps for 60FPS 1080p

- Connecting power supply when recording introduces 60Hz hum on line in audio.

- Electronics and firmware haven't really been updated since 2014

This seemed like a great little camera, but it let me down on every front.

I ended up upgrading to Panasonic GH4 that cost 5x more, and I'm actually happy with it.

Given how poorly EOS R and EOS RP were reviewed about 6 months ago, I'm not surprised.
Customers are going around and delaying updated that aren't marked as critical because it's too much trouble, and might be included in a large quarter/half/full year patch roundup with an OS update.

It's in the interest of the developer to downplay security problems they they think aren't a problem. It's in the interest of the security researcher to make sure they get the information about how problematic the exploit is. The user can only make an informed decision about whether an update is important when they have the information.

Once the patch is released, all announcing the exploit does is possibly bring more exposure to it for people that might have delayed or foregone patching, possibly causing them to patch manually or request their automatic patch process run immediately instead at some future date.

This is a net gain for the security of individuals, in that it likely causes some number of people to patch earlier than they would have, and adversaries are already actively tracking patches so it's unlikely you've given away much info they couldn't get fairly easily (and they are incentivized to find it no matter what).
The lack of vision at DSLR companies is mind boggling.

Why can't I do light editing and post to Instagram directly from the camera? Why can't download the photos directly to a phone? Why can't I charge from a micro-USB/USB-C cable?

I get it that pros don't need these features, but how hard are they to implement? The camera is already $1000+ dollars, how much more could adding a touch screen, a SIM card and a beefier CPU cost, when you have $100 phones with these features?

A lot of influencers would buy these cameras if they had a simple auto-mode (which disables most buttons and hides advanced menus) and upload to instagram feature. The workflow for using a DSLR to post to instagram is terrible, SD-cards, WiFi adapters, laptops, ... Not to mention that you need a lot of technical knowledge to hook everything up. No wonder few bother with the pain.

It's ridiculous that the most expensive cameras in the world can't connect to the number one place in the world where pictures are posted.

Why Model the Brain? An Actual Scientific Case for Brain Simulations
Yeah its pretty wild because you have to have an opinion on the hacker’s case and Capital One’s negligence

Then you have to have an opinion on using a warrant on a non-target in the dwelling, and seeing the risk of renting your house out

Then you have to have an opinion on the specific weapons found and how they were acquired

An opinion on felons not being able to have a 2nd amendment right for the rest of their life for somethings that happened 30 and nearly 40 years ago

AND THEN not wanting to really advocate that when you read about the failed bomb hitman plot in 1983 that created the noncompliance, which is some ACME level wiley coyote goof

All while wondering “so were we unsafe? Would the alternative make us safer if both felons and non-felons peacefully have this kind of weaponry? People have this kind of weaponry?”
The thinking in this article is shockingly lazy.
Saying that if you take a particle away from a conscious structure it ceases to be conscious is like saying if I take a particle away from a chicken it ceases to be a chicken.
It might alter the degree of consciousness but surely consciousness lies on a continuum and the point at which we transition from conscious to unconscious is decided by the humans considering the issue. Just like the distinction between a chicken and an egg.

Likely answer is, doesn't really cause problems for anyone in practice. Experienced C++ programmers fix warnings.

Also the ABI specifies how to call and get the return value of a function. The long and the short if it is the execution thread doesn't go off the rails if there is a mismatch in expected behavior. Your data may be garbage tho.

Steady State: a story about engagement algorithms
I think the most important thing is to perhaps be cognizant of your limits and strengths, and try and learn about what's out there that could be employed to solve problems, even if it's not you doing it.

I once worked with a guy with a PhD in math, and was really impressed by some of the stuff he was able to do. On the other hand, his coding skills were not stellar, and I was able to give him a lot of advice and help in terms of improving the structure and quality of his code.
