Lab made corona virus stirs debate – (2015)
I see nothing in any of the specs that implies local storage was intended to be temporary? You could argue cookies, maybe, but even that I'd dispute: it is a user-agent, I should be able to tell it "don't delete my stuff". I already have browser controls over my local storage: I can go into settings in every reasonable browser and flush that down the tubes.
This depends on many factors but a PWA can be inspected by third-party using the browser developer tools which makes easier to find out about its communication. You can do that with proxies and other heavier tools for native apps, but it it requires more skills than the former. Also the web platform is very private, you don't get access to files and many other features without user consent. Native apps might not be like that even though Catalina is going crazy with the permission dialogs.
And Privacy the same: Native apps often have access to e.g. microphone. Web apps only have that for the duration that you enable it for.
There's no such thing as a "master" repo in Git. "origin" is the default name for a cloned remote, and the convention used for adding a default remote, but nothing distinguishes the origin remote from any other remote. It isn't a master remote other than being default.

One could add a Git remote (and name it "origin") that's backed by a decentralised system currently: e.g. one could do:

git remote add origin ./some/ipfs/mount
I'd say that they are very interested in the very large part of the public who voted for them. Their actions so far have been very popular. And they may continue to be so, all the way through, even if the death toll is in the millions. They have blamed the virus on the Chinese, the closures on overreaction by their opponents, and even the death toll is seen as unfortunate but necessary for the economy.

Perhaps personal acquaintance with victims will change that, but I have suspicion that it won't. Certainly it hasn't so far.

They win elections because they know how to care for enough of the people to win. If it angers you, as it does me, the only way to combat it is to win. No amount of complaining or message sending changes that basic fact.

Another reference to Zettelkasten! I've only recently become aware of it, though it's pretty clear to see how that concept and the bibliography concerns here complement each other. Anyone have any experience combining the Z method with good reference management for the long-term?
> About 256 bits of entropy are enough to get computationally secure numbers for a long, long time.

That's just word semantics that depends on how you define "computationally secure".

256 bits of entropy is good enough to get 1 random bit, 256 times. That's the hard fact.

For instance, 256 bits of entropy is not enough to generate more than one 256 bit key for a symmetric cipher. If you generate ten keys from it, you're allocating 25 bits of entropy to each one.
I was asked by my biggest client to put miradore on my personal phone so they could track my self isolation as part of the government regs, I did it because it is probably benign and they need to comply also doesnt seem the best time to look like an arsehole but it will be uninstalled the second the crisis is over.
This is super impressive. How do the animations and effects work? This can't just all be static data, but game code too?

If your employer is paying, how much more runway do you have to make a decision? Given the current situation, I'd expect many companies to start cutting expenses and making excuses.

If there is a virtual training class rather than an online conference, I'd make that a priority, if the funds may disappear.

As for replacement conferences, I wouldn't assume that you'll have any certainty around those until those for some time.
Create Beautiful AppStore screenshots for your next app
Sure you can do that. But now you need a Mac, probably an iOS device and pay $99/yr to Apple. If you're just providing a small one-off solution for a particular problem that you're not monetizing, the above may pose a serious problem.

For example, I (used to) maintain a tool that is essentially a save file viewer, but must store some data for decryption of said files. It's an Electron app, but could work as a normal website for the most part as well. I got a prototype of that up and it stores the required data in local storage. I don't want to maintain and host a backend for it, and I'm not too hot on paying Apple's developer fee for it, either.

You may say it's a fringe use case, and it probably is, but it's very much legitimate. I don't know why they couldn't have made storage for longer than 7 days with an extra permission to be requested.
It would be nice to eventually have a standard way (OS / browser specific) of asking permission to use permanent storage with restrictions. Could be locked down by domain etc.
Switching it from passive to active means you can count it towards https://github.com/bslassey/privacy-budget . Yes, sites can ask for all sorts of things, but if they ask for enough that they could plausibly be fingerprinting you then they start seeing their requests denied.

Sensationally on point post thanks. Got through point 8 smoothly without feeling any need to fork. Please feel free to rewrite all the philosophy / theology etc. books in the world with this much shorter and more accurate message.
Thank you! I'd say the biggest difference is that Panther uses Python3 for detections and SQL/Presto for searching the data. This gives analysts/engineers more freedom and flexibility to find what they're looking for.

We also utilize open source or cloud-native transport mechanisms like fluentd/s3/etc, verses rolling our own.
Indeed, I was wondering why sheets was so broken to always randomly insert line returns.
It's the fact that it returned no matches, that indicates it isn't fooled. If it were fooled, it would have associated those faces with the accounts that use them (assuming anyone is using the, which they probably are).

By returning no accounts, it demonstrates their AI isn't using those faces for identification.

I did have a question about if you considered showing the amount that was analyzed when you're listening to a port/environment(?) because I didn't know how much more I needed to do/what I was going for. I mean I did figure it out/got to the end. I was aware of a 10MB figure on one option.

An update from John Wilander would seem to confirm that this could happen in Safari - and they consider it a bug.

Of note, John’s replies also mention this policy does not apply to WKWebView or UIWebView, because they lack ITP.

Why Covid-19 is an apex predator, and what you can do about it
Fascinating. To be honest I'm surprised the declines aren't more significant. I guess it just goes to show how sedentary many of our lives already are xD
Not sure why you are being downvoted since your statements are correct.

Few advertisers rely on user agent for ad targeting since it can be easily mocked with each HTTP request. It is used for fingerprinting, sure, but from my experience, mostly as a way to identify bot traffic.

It is also true that the advertisers that fingerprint people rely on JS that executes WebGL code in order to get data from the machine.

Finally, you are right that it doesn't make sense that a company like Google dictates these standards since they have a conflict of interests worth almost a trillion dollars.
The article doesn't mention it but entries can include an "annotate" field. I use it to add short summaries and notes. It is not used by the standard bibliography styles, but it can be used to produce an annotated bibliography.
This is awesome, thanks!

Also, fwiw, the post didn't have the (2000) tag when I encountered the expired cert. Crypto isn't my strong suit, so my BS filter uses heuristic shortcuts. These shortcuts are often wrong.

I mean... hang on there.

The sandbox, while questionable at first, has slowly been improving and at this point gives the same features as the web you're describing. If anything I find the APIs more feature complete, albeit less well documented as... well, let's face it, this is Apple and macOS we're discussing here. ;P

I'll also note that "requires more skills" seems like a bit of a blanket statement to me. They're just different sets of skills.

Are you actually seeing good results from push? I have seen many projects try to use it, but am not aware of any that have ended up keeping it.

I'm not convinced that actually confirms much.

One of the pages linked there just says local storage is used to store stuff... yeah? It's still not as wide open as cookies.

You could use local storage while doing other things, but i'm not convinced it's a serious issue with tracking or etc. ... and if ANY storage is considered an issue I think we're in for a big snowball effect on what we should or shouldn't allow from ... anything, including native apps, etc.
Freshly released, hopefully saves you a bit of time during the app release. Comes with correct Apple dimensions (https://developer.apple.com/app-store/resources/), ready to be imported.

Feel free to request features.
The macOS sandbox exists to mitigate this. The system also goes out of its way to let you know you're running an un-sandboxed-app.
It's a great illustration of why disaster coordinators want real engineers, not software engineers.

Decoherence does not give you Many Worlds, or at least not unless you interpret it that way.

Decoherence or more strongly environmental super-selection from something like electromagnetic scattering, results in a Classical probability distribution over the macroscopic observables or more accurately renders the algebra of classical properties Boolean. This means there is no interference between the terms and the probabilities are simply ignorance of facts which have occurred.

Once this superselection process has occurred the mathematical structure of macroscopic observables is just as it is in classical statistical mechanics. There's no need to read this as multiple worlds, although you can if you want to. If interference terms persisted you might have more of a case for Many Worlds. Even then though there are other ways of reading the formalism.

A normal app requires a separate build process, users to install it, manual review for each update, perhaps the platform owner will just deny it without reason, and for Mac/iOS it also requires actually owning or "borrowing" (using another persons/companies) build machine and software.

I don't understand why an installed PWA should not be able to keep their storage just as a "normal" app can. It would clearly be better for both developers and users. There are so many apps & websites that could be more privacy friendly if they could just trust localstorage to actually be "storage".

I’ve seen nurses and doctors on Twitter mention that “every patient needs to be fixated, as they experience a feeling of drowning or asphyxiation and try to remove the tube”

I’m not sure if that experience is caused by the ventilation, or by the disease and misattributed. In any case, I’ve decided not to get infected by this bug. And if I fail at that, I might even consider a living will excluding ventilation.

> deleting all local storage (including Indexed DB, etc.) after 7 days effectively blocks any future decentralised apps using the browser (client side) as a trusted replication node in a peer-to-peer network

Sounds good to me, I don't want websites turning my browser into a p2p node :)
Also tabs. I eventually discovered how to use parser combinators, but I would have made it more frustrating to get started and I'm somewhat conscientious the cognitive burden of these sorts of things can get overwhelming, especially for a project I'm not getting paid for.
Thank you! Our goal with Panther is to allow security engineers to customize and scale it to fit their needs.

I've been going to OSCON on and off since the entire conference took place in the downtown Portland Marriott and it was a really good conference, until they moved it to Austin. From there, attendance seemed to decline yearly and the content was getting very watered down. At the 25th anniversary event back in Portland, it was startling clear that either O'Reilly was becoming disinterested in this event or there was a revenue problem. I guess a bit of both.

No. Hackintosh is a hardware and firmware platform, mostly at a lower level than macOS. Barring custom Apple hardware, anything that runs on Apple hardware will run on Hackintosh. Even custom hardware can be worked around as long as it is not critical (eg a custom CPU).
This looks very interesting but whitepaper is completely offputting. It's filled with terms you would have never heard elsewhere but authors use them without much explanation. It's really not even a whitepaper, just bunch of half done slides. It's surprising that authors would so much time around writing code, taking videos etc but have no time to really write good description of their ideas. There got to be a simple and better way to explain how exactly their proposed system work.

In my opinion gitea is a good lightweight alternative to gitlab - easy to run, easy to maintain and pretty good for a private git server. Since it is written in go and consists of only ONE single binary, it is also easy to upgrade and it also performs well on smaller systems (e.g. Raspberry PI).

In professional environments with Jenkins and Sonarqube i would prefer gitlab though.

This is a huge blow to our industry I think. I've attended a lot of conferences, large and small, and the hallway track is almost always the most useful part.

I've had some of my most important collaborations start with meeting someone in the hall.

I've met some of my best friends in conference hallways.

I have an entire group of friends who I only ever see at conferences, because we live all over the world.

I once got questioned entering Canada as to why I was going and I said, "to visit friends". They asked me how I could have so many friends in Canada if I've lived in California all my life. I told them, "I met them all at conferences!".

And it's true. Every person I know in Canada I met at a conference (other than a few family members). And almost all of them have helped me professionally at one time or another as well as being good friends.

I'm going to miss those O'Reilly hall tracks. :(

> Web applications added to the home screen are not part of Safari and thus have their own counter of days of use. Their days of use will match actual use of the web application which resets the timer.

Can anyone explain this with an example?

So web apps added to the home screen will have their storage wiped under some scenarios? If not, what does "have their own counter" mean?

How are web applications added to the home screen not part of Safari in a way that's different from a regular URL you might visit?

Let's also not forget that what's being proposed here is a TBTF argument. The argument here is that letting a bunch of small businesses that don't have enough saved up to survive a few months of no revenue go under is going to be so bad for the economy that we have to literally suspend the enforcement of contracts more generally to save them. Of course, if this is actually the case, we could just bail out the affected businesses instead of saying goodbye to the system of contracts more generally. And I don't believe we in such a situation yet either. We can probably just let them fail. Most small businesses are very replaceable and failure rates are very high to begin with.

It's a bit confusing because there are two similar terms being used to describe this. First is "local storage" which refers to any of the storage, as long as it's on the local device. Second (which you used) is "localStorage", which refers to specifically the window.localStorage API (which you are right about, has been described as a volatile short-term memory for apps).
