I know women who have been followed off buses and trains and had to evade their stalkers. Imagine if a random person can snap your photo and suddenly know your name, address, place of work, all via this app.

have you seen django admin https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/contrib/admin/? It's auto generated when you build an app. Flask has something similar.
This. The demoscene was young people (mostly teenagers or early 20s) doing really cool stuff with computers, trying to out-do others. It was about art, international (friendly) competition with the demo parties around Europe, and doing cool shit. It was a mix of coding, graphics, and music - there wasn't a profit motive, although many people found employment (or started companies) in related industries afterwards.

How a lot of the coding part was so hardcore is probably explained by not having things like Unity or Unreal back then, so everything had to be done from scratch
On-Call Nightmares with Jay Gordon
Some commenters are decrying that this post fails to meet the bar for "responsible disclosure".

Please stop using that phrase. "Responsible disclosure". It's wrong and harmful, and the person who coined it agrees with me: https://adamcaudill.com/2015/11/19/responsible-disclosure-is...

You want "coordinated disclosure" instead.

Netgear doesn't do coordinated disclosure. They do non-disclosure. In the absence of a coordinated effort, full disclosure is the responsible thing to do.
Making Babies to Grow Economies Won't Work

This is clearly an O(n^2) situation somewhere in LLVM. Usually it is pretty easy to fix by adding a cache or two; or by changing a linear search to a hash map.

If you're not getting icons and screenshots, that most likely because your data/wifi settings are set to not download them. For example, if you never/rarely use WiFi, and your data/wifi settings are set to only allow downloading over WiFi, it won't download the icons or screenshots. Originally, we had same defaults for everyone, then we updated it so that if you started F-Droid without WiFi on, then it would always allow downloads over data.

That said, yes, the official client could be improved, and we welcome contributions. The security side of F-Droid is quite solid, that's the problem with the various forks. They focus on UX, without the careful attention needed for security. The ideal world would be that the core of the official F-Droid client would be a standalone library, so that the forks can have the same solid base. We welcome contributions there.

Well it depends if the circuit breakers are accessible and correctly labeled to cut just the ceiling fan/light. But yeah, that's a good last resort measure.
Right... Maybe you are overstating things a bit here when you say that nobody was had the means for creative activity in Sweden before the arrival of the computer? Writing isn't very costly you know, neither is music, at least not compared to getting a computer in the 90's.

Also, please define your time frame, 1991-1993 was not exactly a period of economic growth.

The only part I think is relevant is the long tradition, even among school children, of forming associations. These provides the organisational mechanisms to form social groups large and persistent enough to support a scene for something as niche as computers.

Because to have a demo scene you need both a supply of computers in the hands of people with no particular purpose for them, and that these people decide to do things together with them.
It should be noted that it’s essentially never the people who find bugs arguing for “responsible disclosure”.

It sure is easy to tell others what to do with their work product when you have zero stake in the game.

There exists a really easy solution to the purported problem of full disclosure, vendors could just offer significant enough financial compensation for non-disclosure.
The most inconvenient part about MISRA, for me, is the fact their stance is open source tools can't state or paraphrase the rules [1] for copyright reasons.

Which is why the writing of this blog post is so bizarre, telling you that Rule 9 is pointless but not saying what Rule 9 is.

Admittedly the document is fairly priced at £10 per user - but good luck getting a rule added into an open source project like clang analyzer when you can't tell them what the rule is supposed to do

Ask HN: Australian ISP blocking DNS
An Australian ISP ("Southern Phone") has just started blocking Google + Cloudflare DNS servers (but not their own of course) from our home connection. Is this legal? Nothing in the contract about reserving the right to do this.

Feels like a huge invasion of privacy. Is there any course of action? ACCC? Or just switch provider.

Oh I don't know, the same culture that skips over insuring that a VW e-Golf or Audi e-tron does not put up warnings to get the oil changed. Yes, they really do prompt their owners to have an oil change and service.

It simply can come down to not having a change management system let along a project management system that is effective. then there is the opposite systems, the ones where getting even a minor change in can be frustrating and results in many not bothering to fix the simple issues.

The Five Pressures of Leadership in OSS (2019)
Even the data you decided to pick for this conversation supports the opposite of your conclusion:

Household chores:

--On an average day, 84 percent of women and 69 percent of men
spent some time doing household activities, such as housework,
cooking, lawn care, or household management. (See table 1.)

--On the days they did household activities, women spent an average
of 2.6 hours on these activities, while men spent 2.0 hours. (See
table 1.)

Women: 156 min * .86 = 134 min / day

Men: 120 min * .69 = 83 min / day

Women dating men, on average have a share of household tasks is 161% of their partner’s.

Childcare:

--On an average day, among adults living in households with
children under age 6, women spent 1.1 hours providing physical
care (such as bathing or feeding a child) to household children;
by contrast, men spent 26 minutes providing physical care.
(See table 9.)

Women: 66 min / day

Men: 26 min / day

Women dating men, on average have a share of childcare tasks is 253% of their partner’s.

This is without even needing to dig into the crosstabs, on the data source you picked. Which supports the both widely accepted and studied conclusion that household and especially childcare tasks among heterosexual couples are absolutely not evenly distributed.

As for more studies, feel free to, I dunno... pick any of them?

I really shouldn’t have to do the math for you on this. Your point is about as well supported by the data as climate denial and at some point you lose the right to ask other people to prove this to you and just need to go read basically anything on this subject.

> Software is not labor-intensive. Not many people are necessary in order to produce good software.

Not many people are needed to produce 500gr of good rice. And lots of people are needed to produce something like all the software Google or MS maintains.

The specialty of software is the low cost of marginal products. This is the new thing here, not labour intensiveness.

> On the contrary, Brooks’s law on software project management states that “adding manpower to a late software project makes it later”.

This has more to do with communication, collaboration and slowness of getting up to speed when joining a software project.
This thread should have a sticky note - grass is always greener on the other side.
Funny how the person paying the electricity bill always gets so concerned with their "green certification".

Hint: there isn't any green certification that can be revoked, afaik. The big standard I often see is "LEED", but if you check them out, once a building gets LEED certified (at the design stage) you could literally build anything and there is no mechanism to remove that certification in your building.

Yes, but capturing meaning mathematically is somewhat an unsolved problem in both mathematics, linguistics and semiotics. Your post claims you have some mathematics but (obviously as it's a secret) doesn't explain what.

SEO currently relies on keywords, but SEO as a practice is humans learning. There is a feedback loop between "write page", "user types string into search engine" and "page appears at certain rank in search listing". Humans are going to iteratively mutate their content and see where it appears in the listing. That will produce a set of techniques that are observed to increase the ranking.
>Not sure what the angle is?

Maybe a new version of the directory harvest attack[0]?

For example, if someone has an email address (or list of email addresses) from somewhere else, one can easily tell if you (or they) have a Facebook account by simply requesting a password reset against it (them). If there's no throttling on password reset requests, one could process a large list rather quickly.

I think one of the interesting use cases for IPFS is having a distributed build store for tools like Nix and Guix. It sounds to me like almost the perfect case for it: an immutable datastore of hashes of reproducible builds is well suited to distributed storage. Imagine being able to peek into a global store of build outputs and, for the hash of any given inputs, retrieve some corresponding output. It would be an incredibly unique experience.

There’s a proof of concept of building IPFS into Guix’s store[1]. There’s also periodically discussion on the mailing list. I’m sure it’s much more complicated than I’m giving it credit for, and there would be security and social implications (someone’s going to be building most of the software, and what happens if you have low bandwidth or a small data plan?) Still, IPFS sounds like an interesting experiment in this area.

Context, since this has nothing to do with the book series, movie, or TV series by that name, and I had to do a DDG search to figure it out.

The link is an editorial commentary on FaceMash. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Facebook says:

> "Facebook's predecessor, opened in 2003, developed by Mark Zuckerberg; he wrote the software for the Facemash website when he was in his second year of college. The website was set up as a type of "hot or not" game for Harvard students. The website allowed visitors to compare two female student pictures side by side and let them decide who was more attractive."

The editorial title's styling as the TV series has no deeper connection to that series.

For those who want something about the TV series, I recently watched this lovely hour-long fan review of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1a8l1QFHj5Q .
My final straw with airbnb was this article https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/43k7z3/nationwide-fake-ho..., so I went to their site and requested that my account be deleted.

Even on that article, the 2nd to last paragraph was:

> Even after a month of digging through public records, scouring the internet for clues, repeatedly calling Airbnb and confronting the man who called himself Patrick, I can’t say I’ll be leaving the platform, either. Dealing with Airbnb’s easily exploitable and occasionally crazy-making system is still just a bit cheaper than renting a hotel.

With another platform offering rentals but taking a 30% cut, a trick I found was to google the address or name, often they'd be listed there as well. Then I'd call them and ask if they have a room, and if they could offer me a discount (I was travelling around Iceland, many people doing the ringroad would just show up in the afternoon/evening and leave the next morning). Obviously this doesn't work with anonymous airbnb providers.

I worked there for awhile but compilers aren't really my thing. They're building cool stuff, though. Their tech converts database queries between dialects, and can even run as a translating proxy (for example, run Oracle code on Postgres) and provide performance insights into your code. Their clients are big name companies who need to maintain millions of lines of DB code.
Sure, but that doesn’t require collapsing the word to just one meaning as the article implies. Why acknowledge the biological meaning over the vulgar one?
And of course the technical definition supersedes the use of the word "berry" in the English language...
> I just installed 0.10.2 for Mac and it's by default using (600,900) for the low and high watermarks and routing type is set to dht rather than dhtclient.

(600,900) watermarks suggest you had an old config (ipfs-desktop will respect pre-existing config and won't override values). Just change watermarks manually to (50,300) and restart.

If you run daemon via ipfs-desktop the routing preference from config file is ignored: Desktop runs daemon with an explicit command line parameter (--routing=dhtclient) to avoid DHT server traffic.

Hope this helps.
> Now you just did the same thing I did but in reverse!

No, I didn't.

“Most” (as an adjective applied to a group) is for a majority, not a plurality, but that's okay, because 57% is an absolute majority, anyway, which is why my reference, which did use “most” for a majority, was not what you did.

I think I'm seeing this in C code too with clang. I'm having fairly big code-generated switch-case statements in my CPU emulators with hundreds to thousands of case-blocks (Z80: [1], 6502: [2]), and those take up to 7 seconds to compile with -O3, which is really unusually long for a single C compilation unit of that size (compared to the same number of lines across many smaller functions). If the problem has exponential behaviour it could easily blow up to minutes or hours for larger functions.

I’ve worked in compilers (optimizations) at Microsoft (vc++) and NVIDIA(CUDA) - register allocators, schedulers and loop optimizers were super fun.

Then I worked on database (query) compilers. I managed Apache Hive at Hortonworks, and that has a compiler. These are very different beasts.

Now, my startup is working on code analysis and cross compilers for data engineering, including Spark.

Some of my colleagues are working in AI chip startups.

It’s hard to find high quality engineers in both kinds of compilers. Just like database internals engineers there is high demand.

A few days ago on HN the letter-to-shareholders by Howard Marks was posted, where he says investing is like Blackjack or Backgammon (it involves luck and skill) and how a good decision doesn't necessarily bring a good result and vice versa. I think this applies to life itself. Everything you do is a bet where only part of the information is available, and all you can do is to have a good decision process, which can still lead to unfavourable outcomes.
Then you'd have to redefine what a berry is. Do we just have a list of things that are berries? If so, who get to define that list? What if you forget one? Would that thing then not a berry anymore?

You'd could also try to make so criteria that defines berries, but that's what we already have, even though it tells us that strawberries aren't berries. We could make new ones, but how do we ensure that bananas becomes fruit, strawberries should be a berry and peas and corn should definitively not become berries?

For daily usage it fine that we don't see bananas as berries and that tomatoes certainly shouldn't go into a fruit salad, even if it's technically a fruit.
The issue is you're going to have the ignorant customers calling Netgear to complain their brand new router is not secure if their browser highlights it for situation #1. Same for an untrusted certificate.

The risk with #2 is then an attacker could potentially probe the firmware to figure out that process, and phish from that domain? The other is we need to trust Netgear to run HA infrastructure to support that. (lol)
