Germany stills has robocall issues, this is nothing more than wishful thinking and a nice dose of European exceptionalism mindset.
A well researched but ultimately rather lazy article there the author posits "Is Trump really a Nazi?" with the answer "No, not really". There are a few items thrown in about the UK just to keep it looking up to date.

In general it is an good article on the political changes in the Weimar Republic but the interesting part is only in he last section where the author discusses the failing in democratic process which lead to the rise of Trump and Farage (Johnson is an opportunist and ultimately irrelevant). Farage should be give much more attention as he is the central character (at least in the press) that dragged British politics further to the right and capitalized on the prejudices of older people who are more motivated to vote that their younger, more liberal or left leaning counterparts.

Farage is deeply inspired by what is happening in the US. The changes in UK politics as it moves to a more presidential style still have a long way to play out. UKIP and the Brexit Party probably have a parallel with the Tea Party. In a sense the UK is about 10-15 years behind what is happening in the US. If there is any comparison to be made in what is happening in the UK with history then it should be made with the US. That would provide an interesting guide to how the whole Brexit mess is going to play out.

I wonder how many people you would need to infect, on average, until you were detected?

I would guess, with this exploit chain, and the lack of auditing available of iOS internals, that the actual exploit could run 1 Billion + times before detection. The biggest risk is someone noticing the wedged webkit renderer process and going to try and debug it. I bet that causes oddities when hooked up to a mac with devtools open.

Of the whole thing, the HTTP network traffic is probably by far the biggest red flag - and perhaps 1 out of 10 million people might notice/investigate that. Simple things like never connecting over wifi (cell network is far harder to sniff), and redirecting traffic, encrypted, via a popular CDN would be a good way to hide it.
Just link directly to http://scrapereddit.pythonanywhere.com/, there is no need to go through an empty reddit post. The app isn't available yet, apparently.
I feel like this is the way to do it. It's hard enough to start a business as is, so not that many people are going to actually do it. People that want to do it are going to do it anyway eventually.

I had trouble updating the console in our 2017 Suzuki[0] and extracted the update file - it was QNX

[0] the update instructions say to put the update file on a FAT32-formatted USB drive and plug in. The update file is 6GB and FAT32 has a 4 GB file size limit. Tried exFAT, UFS, and a few other file systems QNX has support for, no go with those.
Props for actually thinking.
I suspect the "rich and powerful" people will actually get hurt. Not as much as the less rich, but still.

The UK government doesn't have any of its ducks in a row, deal or no deal. They almost certainly will have a recession, they will almost certainly lose a good chunk of their financial industry. It's just a fact of life if you are on an island and suddenly choke your ports.

The alternative to virtually closing those ports (for lack of resources in screening) is to do no screening and just accept the EU standards. Now without having a say in those standards. Good luck...
Hey folks, I'm very much looking forward for feedback as I'm lacking best practices for Github Actions.

Wait, using masculine as a gender neutral pronoun is normal but you get offended if anyone uses feminine as a gender neutral pronoun? That doesn't sound very reasonable.
SmartBear Acquires Bitbar to Enhance Its Mobile Test Automation Offering
Your argument is basically sound, but IMO based on a wrong starting point.

> Our starting position is that a lot of employment is very centralised in big cities or industrial areas, sometimes for historical reasons that aren't necessarily as relevant today.

So first of all, I don't want to get stuck in a home office. I want to share an office with my coworkers and engage in normal human social behavior during the workday. A coworking space does not appeal to me either: I'm not comfortable spending my workday around strangers who appear and disappear every few weeks.

But besides that, I think that work is only one part of the equation. There are other reasons why people live in big cities. I grew up in a German city with 100k inhabitants, and there was basically nothing I could do after 8PM once shops had closed. I now live in a larger city where there is a lot of stuff going on everyday in some place (tech meetups, concerts, etc.). You just don't have that in a village or small city.

Another, smaller thing: I have some chronic ailments, so it's convenient to be living in a large city with a good coverage of specialist doctors and hospitals. A small city (say, 10k inhabitants) will have a couple GPs and probably an ophthalmologist, but will likely lack more niche specialists.

There are more reasons. That's not to say that everyone wants to live, or should want to live, in a big city. But it's not a good idea to force everyone to live in small communities either.
I agree. My Smart TV has a problem with the network and needs to be rebooted about once a week. I wish they had a big reboot menu item right in the home screen.

Phone keeps getting jankier and jankier UX as the software gets more and more and bloated (I'm looking at your Chromium and Google Maps). Right now my virtual key presses lag about 5-10s

Pretty much any single technical device or software component in my life malfunctions in several ways. Just last night I rebooted UE4 Editor about half a dozen times when it started rendering black and mouse stopped working. I have a Cardo bluetooth set (for motorcyclists) and every feature in that device is broken/malfunctioning in some way. And I paid 200€ for that. Utter f*n BS.

Steve Jobs greatest contribution was to scream at people to make their shit work. I wish every engineer had a personal stevejobs screaming at him with a red face to make his/her shit work.

Unfortunately the sad fact is.. there's no value in quality to businesses. As long as people buy their shit (and there are no better quality competitors) the added quality would only be an added cost.
I like this article, but I think actually the software industry has seen a succession of silver bullets. The problem is, once they appear, you take them for granted:

Because if they were convinced I had my facts wrong, they would reply to set the record straight, right?
I notice a pattern (no pun intended) to this web-site, in that it advocates things that the open source community (and many programmers in general) shy away from, like:

- eagerly rewriting working code

- diving headlong into complexity rather than minimizing/avoiding it

- pro enterprise software with the implied lock-in cost

- promotes the artificial concept of software manufacturing with it's basis in "design patterns" that are seldom used in any meaningful way in my observation

I am not saying there is nothing of value here, but it seems to hint at a kind of propaganda against a growing consensus around agile/lean development.

In the US we also have a do not call register, however, the register serves as a great list of phone numbers that robocallers can target.

Isn't it true that you can avoid vendor lock-in with Open Source because you have a choice of companies that will support it? For example with PostgreSQL there are a variety of companies that provide support.
C++ is great, but I’ve always hesitated in pushing Qt at my employer because I’ve never quite understood their licensing. It seems like it’s really expensive for actual commercial use.

I keep meaning to dive into it to learn it now that my C++ is better, but what stops me there is that I don’t quite get where QtQuick + JavaScript fits in, or what parts of Qt I should be using / putting time into learning. For other languages, I don’t want to use an ‘unofficial’ binding in case it breaks.

Machine learning techniques are going to be absolutely awful in detecting something like this, the reason being it's exceedingly rare (at least I'm guessing it is; if we're talking about child sexual abuse by one's own parents, it sure sounds extremely unlikely- but even child abuse in general is probably rare [1]). Machine learning systems are awful at identifying rare events. Like the OP seems to suggest, the false positive rate would most likely be very high.

"Spooky" machine learning results happen when a correlation is abundant in a dataset [2]. Otherwise, machine learning techniques will probably miss it altogether.

Awful at using good design patterns, unit tests, and neat code maybe... But not "write everything to /tmp, tar it up and upload it cleartext".
Most people know what I meant. Many may even have figured out that it was a light-hearted jest about the UK's current - yes - constitutional and political struggles.

To be clear, yes they do have some kind of unwritten constitution.

I really don't like the system they arrived at, however they arrived at it. Voting is imbalanced, Elites are more hereditary than in most democracies, and it's harder to enforce what I believe of as Human rights (see surveillance etc). On top of that the political discussion and media is more nasty than most, also.
Poor. I know for a fact why I'm not doing more. I know why I haven't jet-setted off to Silicon Valley and started a dozen start-ups. And it's not because I'm scared. It's because I'm contented.

Sure, my current position pays a whopping $18k/year. Sure, I'm spinning the wheels until something more interesting blocks my path. But I don't care about this because I am happy anyway.

I could do so much more, but I don't need to, so I won't. The suggestion that this is done out of fear seems like a juvenile attempt to classify life as some kind of game where one is expected to aim for a high score.
I'm in the UK and have had the same number for a decade or so, I probably get one a year? They are mainly from foreign companies. If said countries also had our regulations, and a sharing agreement in place, it wouldn't be an issue.

Crazy how this gets downvoted. European exceptionalism is exactly what this is.

In my uninformed opinion, it's fairly simple to write Rust code that's easy to review. Write unsafe as little as possible and if you need to, put that unsafe block in as small a module as possible. That's mostly it.

I think it might be at least half a decade before Rust starts being used in more central parts of the kernel (if at all) because adding a second language significantly complicates the build process. Also, it is blocked on Rust supporting all the platforms that Linux supports just as well. It would be disastrous for Linux to drop support for it's long tail of platforms because Linux could no longer be built for those platforms.
Growth Hacking: Acquiring Competitors Customers Automatically
People drive high. I can't believe how many times I've heard "I can drive just fine, it's not like alcohol".

Cannabis changes my perception of time and significantly affects my attention. I would never drive in that state, or even cross the street, I'm sure I'd get hit by a car... I don't think other people are that different.
Yeah, I get robocalls to my mobile almost daily. My late grandfather would also get calls once a week from the scum running those "Windows security issue" calls. Luckily we were about to give them a right good talking to - it's illegal, but they still do it.
The Truth Behind What's Living on Our Favourite Statues
I really need to understand MVCC but this isn't greatly helpful. It starts assuming you understand the basics (which is fine, but be aware) but it's really just a 20% slideshow adjunct to a talk that would fill in the remaining 80%.
I don't think it is possible. And it's someone's right (freeze peach) to make a mark on this.

I've love some of the texts books that has small hints of the authors political attitudes hidden in the examples. It gives character to the work.

Especially in open source I believe this is important to have this freedom. Companies usually do not openly express political prefs (unless it's widely accepted, as in gay-pride rainbows when the fight for equality is largely won). Many opensource projects are not run by corps, but by individuals: and that individual decide to tag a message to the product he/she delivers.

This has always been done, it's form of activism, and I believe it is a good thing. Otherwise we would only encounter political statements in the places we expect it (media, which is largely paid for) and much of us have already chosen to ignore.

My main point: please do not be dismissive of politics as that only helps the lobbyists (and the corps/ultra-rich they represent), and at this point we need to free "our" democracies (means: people rule) from them. Shutting people up by telling them not to discuss politics is not going to help.
Those companies have optimized for turnover. There is no "crisis" because the high turnover rate exists by design.

Handling API request race conditions in React
It seems the webkit renderer process goes into an infinite sleep when this exploit is used. Since iOS doesn't use a seperate renderer for different web domains/iframes, that would mean the entire tab will freeze.

Surely that would be a pretty big giveaway for the user - "I was just browsing round the bombmaking-for-dummies webpage, and my browser just froze, and I had to kill it and reopen it".
I am guessing you are scared because:

(i) you won't be able to access importing accounts e.g. bank accounts where your email is your gmail account.

(ii) you won't be able to see your old emails.

Solutions

(i) Buy a domain name and use that for your emails. Forward those to GMail initially but you can forward them to something else if you ever lose GMail access. Update all your accounts to this new email address.

(ii) Use Google Takeout to download all of your Google data, including your GMail.
You’re not bored. You’re terrified of being alone with yourself in your own head.

But apparently in the late 1990s, Disney's website was so bad that they routinely had customers show up at one of their hotels at Disneyland (California) or Disney World (Florida) with paid reservations for the wrong hotel. And not just a different hotel at the same resort, but a hotel 3000 miles away!

Fixing the website would be much too expensive. Instead they kept a set of rooms free at each hotel for guests who were on the wrong side of the country, so they wouldn't ruin their vacation.
CSS lesson for people who hate CSS and lessons
Honest question: are there new cars on the market today where I, as a driver, do not have to directly interact with any piece of software? In other words, are there still cars around that solve problems mechanically?

A close family member took a job at a location that was too far away for public transportation and bought a Kia Picanto [0] in 2004. I regularly drove that car until 3 years ago, and it was an overall pleasant experience. The car only had mechanical buttons and switches inside, no screens at all (only a LCD for clock and mileage, and the
radio display). The clutch pedal was connected to the clutch via a bowden cable (I know that because it snapped one time while I was driving). The gas pedal was also connected directly to the motor. It had 3 rotating switches for the AC and the heating, a button for the emergency light, and a button for the back window heating. It was an honest car.

I want a car I can control, not a semi-autonomous home entertainment system that tries to mask its mechanical shortcomings with cheap software.

> I wonder if that's due to more relaxed laws surrounding construction back then or another factor.

Might be relaxed laws but not because we were cooler back then,more likely because we didn't know yet that some practices were dangerous.
Whatever you do, if you are high value then you should consider the risk that your source repository could be compromised too. Using separate hardware signing keys for git/whatever is something you should therefore also strongly consider I think.

Reproducible builds can also help you to mitigate this risk - so you then can cross check that the source is properly signed and produces the right binary before signing the binary. If you are publishing source code then your customers can also double check this as a second vector, should they want to.

How does that work if someone spoofs the caller ID?

I'm in the UK and I get multiple spam/junk/scam calls a day. What I've noticed is if I try to call back, I'll just get an error tone because the number doesn't exist.

I really don't get the negativity, I'd love to have some system like Verified by Twilio!
It seems to me that the reason this architecture is needed is because the original choice of technology necessitates it.

I mean, it's not that a C++ application wouldn't need a rearchitecting for startup performance, but it would likely not be needed for an application as simple as Slack.
Not a comment on Rust, but this sort of thinking appears strange.

You hear "X is good" from 7-8 people. You dismiss these people as fans lacking objectivity.

If you now hear "X has shortcomings" from 2-3 other people, do you now tell yourself "Yes I knew it all along. X isn't as good as the fans said it was" or do you think "Yeah, now that I have other opinions I can say that the majority of people think X is good and therefore it's probably good".

If it's the first, that's just confirmation bias. If it's the second, that's better but I don't get it - why does the mere presence of a contradicting opinion make the first opinion more valid?

In any case wouldn't you be better off trying X first hand and forming your own opinion?

The article describes how the companies have made the jobs turnover proof. Turnover isn't expensive at these companies. Otherwise they would have stepped in and attempted to reduce the turnover rate. In reality they think they can make more money with high turnover.
