I agree with your premise, but let's just not forget that we're humans with a limited life-span and our brains aren't used to dealing with events that happen this rarely. It's understandable why we may all have been caught off-guard. It's a "black swan" relative to our understanding of life.
Magit makes a ridiculous amount of forks for even trivial git commands, and Windows doesn't handle it well.

For me, emax64 works perfectly in Windows, although I don't use magit on it. Beyond magit, I see no difference between my Windows and my Linux emacs usage.
The angry neighbor club isn't upset about GA on approach, they're mad because the new WNDSR TWO arrival into OAK flies a tight corridor right along the ridgeline where people live in the Oakland hills. Here's the flight that most recently flew it: https://flightaware.com/live/flight/SWA743/history/20200531/...

That's all got nothing to do with why GA is irritating. GA is irritating because their little mosquitoes are low and slow and have piston engine sounds and their pilots have a tendency to loiter.

There's still no real substitute for having a person on site to do work when machines breakdown or get stuck and the problems with trying to use machines in their place get worse as the time lag between the machine and it's operators gets worse. Even on modern automated oil rigs there are people driving, repairing and monitoring the systems locally.

Really we're pretty far from semi-autonomous systems for stuff like mining, we're just starting to get problem solving working in AI just look at the DARPA challenge for how far we are from being able to assign relatively small tasks to resolve problems.
> I'm actually surprised at the number of claimed clients which don't have vaguely modern trust stores but do understand SHA256.

All the clients were limited to SHA-1 have already been forced off https; CAs in the CA/Browser forum weren't permitted to issue SHA-1 certs valid past Jan 1 2017, and you had to have gotten those issued before Jan 1 2016. Browsers were showing warnings on SHA-1 certs depending on expiration throughout 2015, so you had to either put up with a warning (and the customer service burden thereof), ditch your old clients and go sha-2 only, segregate traffic, or build custom software to send sha-1 certs to some people and sha-2 certs to others.

Microsoft added support for sha-2 certs in the OS system stack with XP Service Pack 3, released in 2008, and Microsoft was always pretty slow with support on things, other platforms may have supported this earlier. A CA bundle from like 2005-2008 is going to be fairly limiting today. A lot of CAs back then had a 20 year validity period, which may have started 5-10 years before the bundle date. Of course, a lot of bundles today end in 2038, so we'll be screwed then.
the small ones are more efficient..past a certain size the energy of the blast is wasted upward. so we have icbms that split into a bunch of independently targetable warheads, so you dont need a tsar bomba to level the bay. just one more typically sized MIRV capable missile
That forbes article says 42% of deaths are from 0.6% of the population, i.e. really old people. So what, do they not matter to you? Even if you believe that stat, 58% of the deaths are people that matter to even you. Your link has no support for the idea that cv19 is some conspiracy to control people. Why do you think it's because people want to control you via destroying the economy and killing 100s of thousands of americans?
With linux they are required to release some version of their driver even if its for an old kernel. Without any source it will be hard to produce a driver ever. Look at nvidia cards which still have shit drivers after how many years?

Further its entirely possible for a device to require signed drivers and their is even a security incentive to doing so. They don't have to ever let you have your own drivers for their hardware.

Yeah. Switch array & args disable the shell. I hope they’re not running that locally as the download script suggests. But then you still have a bunch of other security issues. Shrug.
"He said some of the 40 arrests made in the Twin Cities Friday night were of people linked to white supremacist groups and organized crime."

Actually, he said no such thing, hence the lack of an actual quote. Good thing, too, lest he embarrass himself like the St. Paul mayor did when he said “every single person we arrested last night, I’m told, was from out of state.”

In fact, 80% were MN residents.

That's right. I'd like to see that happen too. Although I'd argue that space has much more abundant materials & resources due to its vastness. Minus the geopolitical baggage.

More importantly, there is a bootstrap problem. Where are the funds going to come from? There is no commercial benefit from such an experiment except perhaps tourism. On the other hand, a space colony could develop a self sustainable economy, developing various enterprises from tourism, mining to manufacturing
Every beach in the world has some sort of rare creature, and locals who would state that fact in pursuit of their agenda. How many space launch sites are there in the world?? If a space launch site can't be built near some random beach in Texas, it can't be built anywhere. I hope SpaceX wins this "battle" - because while the ecological cause is noble, it's far less noble than the next step of humanity's venture into space.

It's pretty amazing how far the open source FPGA tooling has come in the last few years. I'd even go so far as to say some parts of the open source ecosystem have surpassed the commercial tools.

Still a long way to go of course, but I'm pretty positive about the direction things are heading.

Pretty bold of Citi to publish something like this. I wish more companies had the balls to do something like this... Not just some "Yay equality!!" Tweet, but a real and specific stance. Kudos.
And the ""If you build it, they will come" suffers from confirmation bias" point-of-view comes from the myopic vision that most scientific minded folks have when it comes to engineering projects.

And the worst offenders of this narrow-mindset are, wait for it, no less but the trained scientists themselves (not all, but the ones who didn't have exposure to engineering thought).

When we (engineers) say: "If you build it, they will come", what we really mean is this:

- If you build it, and they come, great.

- If you build it, and they don't come, too bad. Let's try something else.

- No one predicts the future like an oracle, but we'll try our best to make our claims come to fruition.

Our audience (the investors) knows that. We (engineers) are not out there for the truth. We're out there to try things out based on an educated guess, give it our best shot, and see what happens.

That's how the real world works.
As a reminder, we are still looking for complete distributions of the Burroughs B6700 MCP releases that include ESPOL/NEWP so we can complete an emulator and preserve this system into the future.

> This allowed you to forge an attestation of user identity from Apple for any App that was setup to consume it. Apple is acting as an IdP for its consumer ecosystem. It's definitely their problem.

The relying party would have to incorrectly rely on the 'email' claim, which is not guaranteed to be sent, stable, or unique, rather than the "sub" claim as documented.

This shouldn't be an account takeover problem unless your site did that or one of a few other things wrong. However, I'd be reluctant to blame the site in those cases - a lot of security issues (including this one on Apple's side) come from two components not fully understanding the contract between them.
POTUS is a legal term, and no law gives them power to prevent senators from entering either capitol chamber. Each house has their own rules who can enter. They each keep their own Sergeant at Arms.

IF a POTUS can use force to stop them, it is extra-constitutional, and at that point this person is not POTUS but something else.
To be honest, I think the author is misrepresenting this, just as they falsely said that this was a "zero-day".

This would be solved if python used an (OS-specific) cache directory for its .pyc files. I have always disliked .pyc files... here's a concrete reason!

"longer life expectancy" is a very optimistic thing to say
I hope to make 80 - not sure my health will hold up. I did see the article on Grace Hopper on Wikipedia. She began her computing career in 1944 and she died in 1992, so that's a maximum of only 48 years. On that measure, I have her beat by 9 years already.
According to Wikipedia, Grace Hopper started her computing career in 1944 when she worked on the Harvard Mark 1, which would have put her at ~38 when she began. Assuming she worked until her death, that puts her career in computing at a (incredibly impressive) 47 years.
I think this clause is not reasonable and should not be legal. However, these clauses (they're called "DeWitt clauses") have been around for almost 40 years and they have not gone away.

For more, see my essay, "The DeWitt clause’s censorship should be illegal" https://dwheeler.com/essays/dewitt-clause.html (I mentioned it in another thread, but you might not have seen it).
I tried it with a relatively complex pdf and it blew my mind.
"...it takes a very long time to collect enough data to have confidence a potential replacement is truly equivalent. We have ~80 years of safety data for 100LL"

It sounds odd to put it this way, because leaded gasoline started being phased out over 40 years ago. In an alternate universe, we would now have 40 years of safety data for unleaded and for leaded.
The goal was to do it for the same price per seat as an economy ticket, and in a carbon-neutral way because of how the fuel was manufactured.

10NES is the algorithm running on the CIC lockout chip of the original Nintendo Entertainment System; the SNES had a similar lockout chip, but used a different algorithm.

These days, the SNES CIC algorithm is fully understood, and you can program an ordinary microcontroller to run either the "cartridge" or "console" ends of the algorithm for every region, or even for a cartridge to detect at runtime what region the console expects.

Taliban didn't do too badly in afghanistan. We've never defeated them despite over a decade of the world's most advanced military. Sure, they've had help from iran and such, but still their armaments are mostly inferior to what the average US citizen can buy with the right license and enough money.

She was a mathematician before that, though; probably about as close as you could get at the time :)

Whatever mistakes were made, it seems like globally as cases continue to go up, deaths are declining, so it seems like we're learning something.
Could you talk more about what you remember from your time at Mitchell Engineering Company? You worked on order processing and fulfillment...what was lacking in their process that they wanted to computerize? Was your project deemed a business success? Were you happy while you were working on it? Was it just you or a team?
“As some who legalizes only as an amateur I honestly find baffling the whole idea that a law school would teach students any particular nation or jurisdiction’s legal code. Shouldn’t they be learning concepts, rhetoric, and logic? Isn’t a case law just a tool? I think mere technicians would learn legal precedent. University-educated lawyers should learn the underlying theory with which they can learn ANY case law.

I am a software engineer. I didn’t learn RequireJS or CommonJS in school. I mean yes, I did use them and was trained in them. But they were just tools. But no one would say ‘what JS module system should we teach our students?’ And good thing—the ones I used in school are now obsolete!

Even as a software engineer I can read court opinions. Man I’d be disappointed if I went into a law school and they’re debating something as low level as what jurisdiction’s laws and court decisions to teach me, rather than teaching me how to interpret any law or legal argument and how to design new ones.”

I hear what you’re saying, software engineer, but avoiding any particular set of case law would leave these lawyers extremely unprepared for professional practice—not just because they will likely work in one of those legal codes otherwise covered by the school, but because those codes and the arguments that shaped them constitute an immense base of empirical knowledge about legal rhetoric, logic, and concepts that simply cannot be replicated in a vacuum. Accordingly, those excellent judges and legislators who do the novel work of lawmaking and legal argument are _not_ reduced to technicians by their knowledge of case law. In fact, I’d say it’s the opposite: it is impossible to have a good grasp of the theoretical underpinnings without also having extreme facility in one legal code or another as a ‘native tongue’.
World trade is denominated in USD, no? A small percentage is Euro and smaller percentage in Yen, perhaps. A negligible percentage of world trade is in Yuan, I believe.
I predicted we'd see rising prices for anything provided by essential workers: food, shipping, etc. I think if the lockdowns and pandemic continues, we'll continue to see that.

The limit case is everyone stays home. We print money to allow people to buy food and medicine. Only essential workers contribute to the economy and do productive work. In the limit case, we see high inflation, large economic gains to essential workers, and a big hit to everyone else.

We're no where close to the limit case yet, but a modest rise is expected. With a big chunk of our economy shut down, the food sector is bigger, in relative terms.
Srimux – REPL for terminal command line automation

I'm glad the above comment got some attention even buried here :) Another comment I'd like to make: Even with that increase, say 200 Wh/kg in 2010 to 240 in 2020, a lot of these higher-energy-density batteries are more expensive/easier to damage/have bigger heat management problems/etc. Keep in mind that is the raw cell weight. At 240 Wh/kg, you do not have any cooling, casing, wiring, BMS, safety systems - that is a plain cell in a vacuum. Once you've got all those goodies around the battery, even if you're best-in-class like Tesla your total energy density is around 150-160 Wh/kg. If you aren't making a luxury vehicle, you might end up around 80-90 Wh/kg (24kWh Nissan Leaf battery is in total 82 Wh/kg), and even if you do aim for something light and use fancy engineering you might end up around the 130 Wh/kg mark (2019 Audi e-Tron: 134 Wh/kg.)

Batteries are hard.
It’s unclear to me exactly where the vulnerability is given the authors description in “technical details”. Does this occur in the implicit flow as well as the code flow? Is the token request unauthenticated? This seems highly unlikely. Or does Sign In With Apple deviate from the Open ID specification in a way that I’m unfamiliar with?
I've found just the opposite, in clusters with usually about a hundred or so deployments per namespace and concomitant scale in pods, services, etc. GUI tools proved occasionally useful early on as I familiarized myself with k8s concepts and the system architecture at hand. Once I developed that basic level of familiarity, the 30,000' view largely ceased to be useful.
This is a big deal because a group making up a medium-sized private company with a private company budget was able to accomplish what a nation-state sized government with an unlimited budget was able to accomplish ~40 years ago. And if they can do it, then it won't be long before other companies do it too, which means that space travel will no longer be limited by political ambitions or realities.

This is the Apple II moment of space travel: when megacorporation giants were squeezed out of the market in a few short years by some dudes working out of their garages.
When I read "Bcrypt is known to be a stronger hashing method compared to md5" it is blatantly clear the author have missed the entire point of the phpass library. https://www.openwall.com/phpass/ to quote

>
The approach of using multiple iterations to purposefully increase the computational cost of testing a password

The author has shown that a hashing function can be attacked by using a dictionary attack... well, yes, of course. But the library is not inherently weak just because of that. Yes, you can write it in 20 lines of Go but -- you'd need to benchmark the attack against other hashes. Just because the md5() primitive is used as part of the algorithm doesn't make the whole shebang weak.

The question always is how long it takes to find clear text which gets hashed to a certain value.
Well, let's just be honest here, a 3-4 gb git repo is ridiculously huge. I'd expect everything to be slow.

A company absolutely can sue someone for violating the terms of service. For huge amounts of money, too, and it might be both you and your organization who have to pay. In the US it would probably be at least considered a contract violation & a copyright violation, not just libel. Contract law has a lot of teeth, and copyright violations have massive statutory damages. Oracle has a massive legal department; they can probably find a thousand other laws it potentially violates without blinking an eye.

I really don't like DeWitt clauses, I think they're horrific. But there's a reason people generally avoid fighting them in court - it's very expensive with an uncertain outcome.

I don't know if it's particularly optimistic - if you're (accurately) saying current life expectancy numbers don't take catastrophic risks into account, neither did calculations of life expectancy back then. Unless you think there is a higher risk of catastrophic events now than there was during the cold war.
Doesn’t look that good to me. The Vortex is not a GPU. They call it GPGPU, meant purely for running OpenCL kernels, doesn’t have a graphics pipeline at all, which is kinda important part of a GPU.
