Why would people spend effort trying to deanonymize an Internet Archive server? Are try trying to deanonymize every single hidden service?

And why would they try to DDOS the services once deanonymized? I don't see how anyone would gain anything from that. If you DDOS some big website you get famous from all the news articles being written about you, but DDOSing a hidden service won't make you famous.
>> These two statements don't seem to reconcile.

I don't see why you'd think that. Just because the scope highlights everything you can shoot doesn't mean that it will fire the weapon. We are not (yet) at the levels of accuracy where such decisions could be made by a machine, except for area denial.
Please don't ascribe ulterior meanings to my words. What I wrote was pretty unambiguous and what you wrote does not follow from my comment.

Toxic relationships. Also: looking for love instead of a partner that you can love. Nothing holds people more from goals in life than having a partner that is not similar in what you want from life. In the grand total, you should both want the same. You might have individual side hobbies (but try to share the main hobbies, too!), sometimes fight over the way to go next, that is all ok. But to make it big, two people can handle more than one person.

I see many people wanting "love". If I had chosen my wife the same way I had chosen girlfriends before, probably we would have been divorced by now. While I undoubtedly love my wife a lot, I was really careful to primarily find a partner in her, a person with similar goals in life, a person that I might still want to be with and be able to talk to at the age of 99, sitting next to her in a wheelchair. So absolutely avoid not being very, very, honest to yourself and letting alone love and pure attractiveness govern your search for a partner for life. Turn your brain on.
As a society, a portion of the workforce has to do the plumbing, make the furniture, serve coffee, and do all the jobs that don't require college. The people doing those jobs shouldn't need to spending four of their most productive years not working and accumulating debt. They should just start four years earlier, or get vocational training for a few months to a year.

Instead of college for all, what's needed is an alternative pathway from high school to (optional) industrial training/ apprenticeships to jobs, skipping college altogether for those who don't want/need it. Employers need to be able to hire non-college-graduates without worrying they're getting the dregs of the college system. They should have fine-grained input into getting exactly the sort of skills they want into their workers, and a large portion of this program (for some of the low-req jobs, the entirety) should involve no-strings-attached industry placements to get those employers comfortable with the people they'll be hiring.

I agree, but this lib does make it easier: https://github.com/amoffat/sh
UK is the US's closest ally,it will likely be something about taiwan,HK or elswhere outside mainland. And it will probably slowly escalate if I had to guess to where in one shape or form China attacks SK ,US military bases,hawaii or western US as a retaliation ,after which the UK will be presurred to join ,except the public would be divided and that's when comms will have issues: is it US or China hacking brits?

China does not care for the west as a trading partner much more than as a stepping stone to reach elsewhere. The west uses economic advantages to arm twist domestic Chinese policy. If they have their grip on Africa, Asia and S. America who cares about the fading west?

And the USA right now is vital for continued world peace and stability as a superpower. There many many nations that owe their geopolitical stability right now to the US being the sole super power.

China has sheer volume but being maybe a third at most their population size the US dominates many things still. Technologically they're still behind in military appllications. The US woud squash China in a heartbeat in both conventional and Nuke warfare. And you have to undetstand how much SK and Japan (both important UK allies btw) are important to the US. Their loss too China will happen only after losing WW3. These are one ot many reasons why both China and Russia are working hard to dismantle the US and UK from the inside out as well as sow discord between them. UK fought with US in both Iraq and Afghanistan!!! Many brits died in America's wars already.
I agree with this. One of the best changes we ever made was embracing a branch-heavy merge-centric workflow for literally everything. There was considerable pushback initially because it was perceived as 'complicated' but that dried up after a month because people were no longer fighting to push their hurriedly-rebased work to the canonical master branch any more.

It also means we can put an extra layer of QA testing between dev branch and master, which works nicely as a means of forcing communication between devs and QA too, and helps with onboarding (because the product featureset is huge).

Automated tests are great, but having a person read the feature ticket description and testing steps and then check that the functionality actually makes sense before it hits the master branch...

One more tool in the box, and it's a great culture correction mechanism too. Devs who don't test their work before submitting it get it sent back for fixing and feel less productive, so doing things thoroughly the first time feels quicker than rushing it. Doesn't even require management to monitor rates of reopening tickets, etc: people just don't like having to redo things.
> Why would the author insinuate Laravel (and presumably WP and the rest of PHP) will be dead by 2030?

I think the author meant that writing a complex server-rendered webapp in PHP would take very long, hyperbolically saying it would take until 2030.
Yeah there's no good solution for this in shell -- you're damned if you do, and damned if you don't.

bash has inherit_errexit to fix a longstanding bug, but even that's not enough.

Oil has shopt -s strict_errexit and more_errexit that fixes even more.

https://github.com/oilshell/oil/issues/476

I'm still looking for feedback and there's probably one more thing I want to change.

Although the fundamental problem is that errors (success/fail) and boolean values (true/false) are conflated in the status code, so it's a tough problem.

In Oil you will be encouraged to use expressions for booleans, not statements, e.g.

ls / # success/fail
if (x > 0) { } # true/false

rather than

ls /
if test $x -lt 0; then ...
Ok, "garbage" may have been harsh but how about a fun example? Try this with and without -e

#!/usr/bin/env bash

bell=`tput bel`
tock='Blastoff!'

do_ring()
{
if [ "$1" ]; then # true
echo -n $bell; sleep 0.1
echo -n $bell; sleep 0.1
echo -n $bell; sleep 0.1
echo $tock
else
echo -n $bell; sleep 0.1
fi
}

i=3
while [ "$i" -ge "0" ];
do
if [ $i = 0 ]; then
sleep 0.5
echo ok
else
echo $i $bell
sleep 0.5
fi
i=`expr $i - 1`
done

do_ring $1 # do something different if arg
sleep 1
echo neat.

Semantic qualities aside there is something here that breaks with -e and if you're used to using -e by default you might be baffled and think shell sucks, for example.
@newfeatureok, @onlyrealcuzzo, @unclemeat (and perhaps others)

Slightly off-topic, but curious. Are you quoting salaries, or the amount you've been earning including stock/options you've been granted and how it has performed?
Yes. I looked into consistently using [0] in the past, overriding `__len` and `__ipairs` etc, but kept running into corner cases that stopped it working robustly.

Despite how it may appear, 1-based indexing is quite fundamental to Lua.
Yes, just write it into a database or something, and rewrite the entire ecosystem to play nice with this new MTA that doesn't compose with existing tools. Wave hands until the problem solves itself somehow?
Hydrogen is the universe's most abundant element.

Its abundance on a given body is a function of that overall abundance, and the gravitational pull of the body in question. At Earth's mass, free hydrogen (and helium) don't persist as the molecular speed exceeds Earth's escape velocity, and these gasses gradually bleed off into space.

(The Earth is thought to have lost about a quarter of its original water through this mechanism over 4.5 billion years.)

At Jupiter's scale, its ability to hold on to hydrogen, and the overall prevalence, dominates. Yes, there's probably some dense rocky / metallic core at the absolute centre, but Jupiter's core itself is thought to be substantially composed of extremely high-pressure hydrogen.

Why that's thought is an interesting question, though my understanding is that it's largely based on Jupiter's known diameter, its known mass (determinable through orbits of its moons), and chemical properties (including density). This is conjecture and may be wrong.
You do realise Twitter is a massive bubble right? Actively hiring from that pool only will cause the tech industry to be far more homogeneous in thinking - something it desperately needs to get away from.
I love python, and half my ‘shell’ scripts are python, but the mere fact that I have to import something to exec something or read a file means that bash is easier to build and test one line at a time. And good bash pipelined one-liners are a reason I’ll never write all of my scripts in python. It’d be hard for me to calculate how often I use constructs like ‘grep | sort | uniq | cut’. That takes a lot of python code.
>I know that university is largely to force people who don’t have enough discipline to self teach AND make social connections

To be fair, going to school was a lot more than that, at least for me. I know my schooling wasn't exactly typical, but I learned a ridiculous amount in a short time, many topics were things I didn't know existed before I went to school, or things I wouldn't even know where to or would be unable to begin alone.

Our teachers were professional biologists and ecologists with years and years worth experience and knowledge, my math teacher was a literal rocket scientist. I got to travel around my province and even down to Yellowstone. We worked on local, provincial an federal projects, worked with actual field biologists, trapping and tagging. We were in the field regularly.

We learned how to communicate and work with government and private organizations and manage large projects with multiple stakesholders. We learned how to play the 'get grant money' and 'get published' games.

Just the sheer amount of things I did and the people, equipment and honestly the school's vast amount of connections to a huge number of organizations are things I couldn't have done myself.

Through work we did in school, a class mate and I were even able to get grant money to start up a non-profit conservation/research project, that as far as I know, is still somewhat active, though both of us left years ago.

But, to finally get to the point, despite all of this...

>is that worth hundreds of thousands in debt?

To echo you..

>No.

Not even the tens of thousands I ended up with. School's not worth it unless you have the money.
Fair but let’s be very conservative and say 2% inflation and no tax deduction. You’re paying a net of 1.5% for that loan. That’s practically free money no matter how you slice it. You could basically offset it by keeping the cash in a savings account. If you can’t manage to beat 1% ARR you probably should just pay that mortgage off lol
OK, don't take out hundreds of thousands of dollars in student debt. Very few people will ever be forced to consider doing that because 1) they can choose to go to a cheaper school or 2) even very "expensive" private schools offer generous financial aid packages that should make debt manageable.

If you choices are 1) take $30K in student loans to pursue a career you're interested in/go to a school that will set you up for a promising future, or 2) teach yourself how to become a software engineer even if you're not interested in it or well suited for it, then I'd advise people to go for #1 every time.

From what I understand the DDoS is necessary to force the Tor daemon to choose a new guard which is what they need for their attack.

As far as deanonymizing it goes, one theory could be that it’s an automated process that crawls the open web for onion links and tries to deanonymize them all.
I thought just about all bows are made from pernambuco (Brazil tree wood). The article seems to indicate there are travel restrictions with it. I recently bought one for my daughter, and they are not cheap, but they sound much better than carbon fiber.
Funny how being credentialed by a proper institution (using this phrase because it is more precise than just "education") is as important as ever for achieving certain social standing and at the same time there is a constant stream of voices preaching "universities are imploding, college is a waste of money," etc.
I think the more accurate variant would be "обратить внимание" which in context can be roughly translated to "turn".
> nobody’s brain will hold a candle to AI

Nobody can outrun a car, either, but cars haven’t made humans obsolete. Instead, we use them as tools to accomplish our goals: just as we will with AI.
encrypted home directories?
Depends on what kind of concise we're talking. Those are in the BMP, so two bytes a piece. The keys are fairly short though, 2-3 bytes is pretty compact for useful keys in most JSON.

The placed number system without Arabic numerals is weird to me. I get that it's probably not all that efficient decoding long-form Chinese myriadic numbers, but it's still weird to see 「九〇〇」instead of 九百 and 「六一」instead of 六十一; though maybe I'm the weird one for thinking that looks weird.
Schoenberg gave the scale some decent discussion in his Harmonielehre in the section on the major mode and diatonic chords. Overall, he was liberal and encouraging about the directions that music could go, and he led by example in producing his own compositions in his own way.

"And above all; this scale is not the last word, the ultimate goal of music, but rather a provisional stopping place. ... Whether there will then be quarter tones, eighth, third, or (as Busoni thinks) sixth tones, or whether we will move directly to a 53-tone scale that Dr. Robert Neumann has calculated, we cannot foretell. Perhaps this new division of the octave will even be untempered and will not have much left over in common with our scale. ... Probably, whenever the ear and imagination have matured enough for such music, the scale and the instruments will all at once be available."

I'd say that last prediction was very prescient!

This port has survived 20 years. That's incredible, especially for tech. That said, a lot of things stabilized and matured around that time. Last year, I installed a modern x86 Debian release on a Pentium II system without much fuss. Much older and it gets messier.
It's pretty insane for a couple. I live in the UK granted, but we cook every night, and our food bill is less than half that.

Things. Stuff. Collections of ... whatever, really. Don't get too attached to things and widgets and thingamabobs and artefacts and all the other man-made objects which supposedly are there to serve you but which end up needing service in some way or another, from simple storage service - where are you going to put it all - to actual upkeep. Just keep the minimal required to live your life in a way you find worthwhile and decide that anything more is optional. That doesn't mean you need to go out and actively get rid of stuff to lead some ascetic life of frugality, it just means you might want to dump it the next time you move without bothering to bring or replace it. Make sure whatever you have and keep around you is there to serve you and don't fall for all those gadgets which are being pushed upon you.
"classical" chinese is the form of chinese used before around 1910's (but some texts which have the "modern style" predate this time). single obscure characters would be used to convey a complex specific meaning, a lot of the grammar and referents are implicit, structure is very dense, and in practice there would often be literary or historical references that would go over most readers ill-equipped to deal with such things. it was also fashionable to write in "symmetry", but modernists who pushed for literary reform thought a lot of this was just style over substance.

"modern" chinese was developed around the 1910s as a push for modernization/literacy as influenced by western imperialism/thought spreading into china. tldr they advocated for readability/accessibility, which meant a stylistic reform of the language.

if you can read modern chinese well enough, you can kinda understand about 30-80% of the meaning, depending how obtuse the text is and or when it was composed, but early chinese education (elementary school) includes some Tang poems from 600-900 AD, but is still quite readable. compared to something like middle english, which modern readers cannot read at all, you can see that the chinese language hasn't changed all that much

When you're employed by someone else, they'll cover their half of FICA taxes (6.2% each), offer health insurance, HSA contributions. It might be possible in Atlanta to secure a compensation package that includes RSUs or access to an ESPP plan.

I'm not sure if you are covering both halves of FICA or not, but the above benefits could explain the difference, e.g., $120k + benefits = $160k.

Financials aside: If you're the type of person that likes switching companies once every 12 to 18 months, contracting could be a good fit. In my personal view, to really master a role, you need to be in it longer than that. It takes a junior engineer a couple years to become mid-level; the same for mid-level, to senior, and so forth.
I mean, you'd have to design some sort of Mail Access Protocol to be able to get to this database, and then get everyone to be able to use that protocol. Surely that's impossible.
I grant that its an intentional affectation, which can make it a bit annoying, but it seems to put me at ease while hearing about the deep details of the stressful issues of the newsday. Cadences can put us in a hypnotic trance and I think his comes pretty close and it can be soothing.

Still, I don't find his cadence as objectionable (or 'intolerable') compared to what are my three pet peeves when listening to speakers: uptalk, feminine vocal fry, and the dropped final '-in' syllables (e.g., 'button', etc., practiced by a good 60%+ of Gen Z)

So I was a bit surprised to see such consensus around Barbaro's cadence, but your mileage may vary.

It is just a matter of the maturity of the industry. Beginning in the late 1890s there were about 3000 automobile companies in the US. After a few decades there were the big three and a few also rans. The IT industry is undergoing a similar consolidation as it matures.
Thank you, I'm definitely looking to continue working on productivity features like scheduling to keep it relevant and less "platform vulnerable" so that it can't made moot by Apple.
The problem is that it gets advocated as "anyone can choose non-abusive employers over abusive ones", which is simply false.
your last sentence is inaccurate: an english reader cannot read any latin at all naively, but a modern chinese reader can interpret little/some/most of classical chinese, depending on the specific text in question
I think getting four years of head-start would make up for it a lot. Plus, not everybody is suited to the career focused college degrees and not everybody should be in them.
British Museum is world's largest receiver of stolen goods, says QC (2019)
Reminds me of a case with Second Life. Someone went to DMCA virtual horse food and the horses would die, so the company got an injunction not allowing Linden Lab to process those DMCA's while it was ligated.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amaretto_Ranch_Breedables,_LLC....

Seems like virtual worlds dealing with the DMCA is complicated, and even if you restore it due to a counter notice process seems like things can break due it... Then I know I was reading before some companies just delete things instead of disabling the content, so they can't even restore it.

Maybe you have an object that includes a item bought from the marketplace and linked it(for people not familiar with SL, sorta like gluing or grouping multiple 3D objects together to become one larger 3D object) to your item, wonder if they just remove the entire object even if 1 part was covered by the DMCA? and then modifying objects, etc probably changes the signature used to detect it... And I know people have used DMCA to troll and mess with competitors businesses. and not sure if the DMCA even allows you to verify people are who they say they are when submitting them, someone could use TOR and say they are the content owner even if they aren't from my understanding... I think they should require a Photo ID and picture of themselves to process a DMCA, but It's probably illegal to ask? You need a Photo ID to do almost anything else though.

I know the though the DMCA was made back in the early days of the internet where people ran their own servers before massive sites with user generated content, seems like it needs reformed.
If they want to find out whether a deanonymization technique works, they would choose a target whose identity and location is already known, so that they can confirm that the attack produced the right answer.
I guess in some sense bigotry is legally allowed, but it is pretty relevant for someone looking for a place where they'd be accepted and fit in.
