I like the point in general, but I will say there are times when idiosyncratic formatting can really help understanding "this particular bit of code". Often it has to do with aligning values so that they are easier to read; if a code formatter was smart enough to at least understand the signal the programmer is sending, and maintain (or even improve!) that kind of formatter, it would be the best of all worlds.

One simple example is when you're parsing text and you have a long list of simple one-line if statements. I personally think it's wasteful and harder to read that block of code if you impose curly braces and new lines on that list of conditionals. This kind of formatting convention has been around for at least 40 years, and it makes the code more readable. I have yet to see an auto-formatter that doesn't turn that kind of code section into an unreadable mess.
It is great when the use of a weapon is well thought out. The risk of collateral damage forces people to think twice before deploying these weapons though.
Except that the physical copy of the game is still gatekept by Microsoft or Sony. People complain about apple's app store and 30% tax but compare that to the craziness it takes to get on a console and it's not even close.

As a developer I pay Apple $99 a year and i can release my app to the store as long as it meets some pretty lose guidelines. To get on a console you have to basically audition your game and met some arbitrary guidelines that aren't published anywhere. Either a company can build a curated system or they can't. XBox, PS4, and the switch aren't monopolies for gaming and iOS or Android aren't monopolies for mobile.

I know you’re asking for Android, and I unfortunately don’t have an answer for that, but for a FOSS video editor, I got a lot of mileage out of kdenlive last summer on my Linux laptop. I’m not sure that video editing on a tablet would be a particularly good experience tbh... there’s a ton of buttons everywhere.

If you’re less concerned about FOSS, the free version of DaVinci Resolve is awesome. There’s a bit of a learning curve, but I’ve been using it to process drone footage (lots of boring stuff between shots with small clips of action) and I’ve been really impressed.
Lol so naive. One day you will realize that this guy Teddy Roosevelt said something profound: "Speak softly and carry a big stick"

Which operating system requires developer mode to install apps from a different source? Not Android. It only requires you to enable the "Install unknown apps" permission from the source app, with this warning:

"Allow from this source? [ ] Installing apps from this source may put your phone and data at risk."

And it's not like this is hidden the way developer mode is. It pops up when you try to install an APK file.

There are libraries worth of literature on the subject. I encourage you to spend some time seeking it out and understanding it better.

It was carefully worded, but you don't seem to be interested in coming to the discussion to understand. You seem determined to fight. The wording was intended to give you the grace that maybe other challenges in your life make it difficult to see this particular advantage. The words chosen were intentionally placed in the same comment with other words giving that grace explicitly.
GitLab Product Manager here - The Codeclimate engine that out CodeQuality feature uses does support about half of the same languages as SuperLinter through plugins that can be added in the codeclimate.yml file. We are exploring how to support the missing languages and add output to the existing and future CodeQuality features.

We have also seen that SuperLinter can be run as part of a GitLab pipeline without too much hassle.

"Telegram does log chats server-side if you want them to"

No. Telegram forces you to log all Windows / Linux desktop client chats and all group chats to their server. You don't have a choice with those. Also all chats in general are logged by server by default.

For Signal, the server being able to eavesdrop on 100% of group messages would be complete failure, a backdoor that would cause everyone to abandon Signal. For Telegram it's the primary design principle. So Telegram is in fact bacdoored by design.

>Telegram groups have never been sacred

Yeah it says that right there on the front page. This "obviously" propaganda actually hurts people, and not just in the way I die a little inside from reading it

> This is not the same thing as leaking someone's personal chat history

This is no standard of anything. "Oh it's fine that Telegram and anyone who hacks their server spies on you, it's only problem if they intentionally leak your chat history". Screw this kind of thinking.

>which to my knowledge has still never been done.

I've never seen such moving of goal posts in my life.

>I'd be glad to be proven wrong on any of these counts,

You can't just define the context to your liking and then prance about when nobody can win the argument of your rigged rules.

>but the fact that Telegram is not perfect in every way does not make it insecure by default.

This is called nirvana fallacy. Signal isn't perfect either. But it's at least E2EE by default which is the norm these days.

Your comment is not thoughtful at all, it's indistinguishable from shill arguments. I hope you feel ashamed.

--

For profesional cryptographers and security experts, it's enough the first protocol wan't IND-CCA secure. That alone tells the professionals the app is no good to any extent. Telegram loses at that point and it'll never advance to some next round. There will never be a community based code review or stamp of approval, that ship has sailed. The developers have lost face permanently.

The evidence of this is no professional cryptographer has recommended Telegram at any point. Instead, world-renowned experts like Schneier and Matt Green have adviced against using Telegram. There's nothing Telegram developers or the community can ever say that undoes expert opinion.

I would disagree with the point of "evolution of views on individuality" effect on slavery. After fall of Roman Empire slavery was in a serious decline in western kingdoms and after some time in Bysantium and Eastern Europe too. Slavery became a bit more legal in XV century [0], and the peak of slavery (involving Christians) came on XVII century[1], somehow co-existing with those ideas of human rights, freedom, secular state and so on. Again slavery could have been abolished due to economic reasons in XIX century.

For example humanism didn't stop Scramble for Africa [2], nor Opium Wars and subsequent colonization of China.

You can get it back with a court order (or less) most of the time for domestic transfers. IBAN transfers are more of a problem.

Most likely drones against disarmed populations
It's so obvious this is the next stage of conflict. China could have thousands of these sleeper drones in the US. To preempt before a real conflict, it could simultaneously take out most of the heads of state, causing chaos.
Does it not work with Zoom on a particular platform? At least as of last Friday I used it as my virtual cam for a weekly Zoom meetup (mainly just to add some basic color correction/cropping to my webcam feed). Didn't notice anything not working, but I only used it on Win10 and didn't do anything fancy.
We should note that the Windows app store is a massive failure, so Microsoft's actions as an also-ran are going to be "benevolent" and "open" because they have nothing to lose. Browse through the derelict mess that is the app store to understand just how miserable their state is. The overwhelming bulk of sales in the Windows app store are Microsoft's own products.

Recall when Microsoft was lagging far behind the other cool instant messenger kids, and was loudly crying for open interoperability and cooperation. Once MSN Messenger had a foothold, it slammed shut and their noble goals dissolved. Microsoft is certainly not alone in this self-serving morality -- it is a logical position -- but they do have a lot of examples in their corporate history.

Apparently the Microsoft employees are out in force today. It's also interesting how making an observation like this -- that the Windows app store is a failure -- leads people to pigeonhole. As I sit here on my Lenova 720 in Windows 10 Pro cross compiling an app between Windows and Linux in the WSL...hurrrRRRRrrr)
You don’t test for the medium being shared/unshared; Ethernet is just a protocol that assumes a shared medium, and does https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier-sense_multiple_access, even when there’s no benefit to it.

The reason that Ethernet can afford to do that even in entirely switched deployments, though, is that Ethernet’s CSMA is very aggressive/optimistic, meaning that there’s almost no overhead to it in the case that there really is nothing else sharing the medium. In fact, Ethernet’s “1-persistent” CSMA is effectively designed for low contention, falling over at high [100+ TXers] contention—which is why we don’t just use Ethernet over shared-medium WANs like a cable ISP’s (pre-fibre-backhaul) coax, but instead protocols like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_transfer_mode.

My point with bringing up the low contention of modern media wasn’t that modern devices could somehow skip CSMA sense-idle altogether; but rather that, due to the aggressive nature of Ethernet’s CSMA, Ethernet when on a low-contention or no-contention media should have basically zero sense-idle overhead, which means one less thing standing in the way of fast Ethernet PHY autonegotiation in an archetypal modern deployment; and so one less reason to privilege the hypothesis of “it’s the laws of physics making PHY autonegotiation slow” over “Ethernet controllers are doing something dumb.”

Here’s something to chew on: USB is also a shared-medium PHY with many layers of legacy compatibility. And yet, on every OS I know of, a USB3 analog input device (e.g. a microphone) can go from “off/unplugged” to “negotiated, registered, driver up, and transmitting data to the host, that the host has an open buffer for such that it will acknowledge and process the data within the soft-real-time window”, all with 0.5s of delay or less.

Heck, the entire Bluetooth stack plus connections to pre-paired devices can come up faster than Ethernet—and Bluetooth sits on top of USB! Bluetooth comes up fast enough, that Apple bothers on its desktops to bring up the Bluetooth stack within EFI, finishing quickly enough that Bluetooth peripherals can be used to signal an interrupt to the EFI boot process within its ~1s interaction window. (We all know, meanwhile, what EFI under Ethernet control looks like: the modern server mainboard’s 6+ second “IPMI autoconfig” delay.)
This blog post[1] tried to figure out a number back in 2016. (Warning: that's not the only thing the post discusses; avoid if you've already had too much culture war.)

To quote: "My guess is that the number of organized white supremacists in the country is in the very low five digits." It's just the thoughts of some random blogger, not an academic study, but he lays out his methodology in detail and it seems reasonable.

Of course that was four years ago, but the estimate seems consistent with the evidence from the 2017 Charlottesville rally, which only drew a few hundred attendees despite being the biggest, most prominent and well-publicised white supremacist rally in the USA for decades.

Of course this is only talking about active, open white supremacists, not the full gamut of racism. But I find it hard to believe that the number of Richard-Spencer-style racists in the USA is anything other than tiny - far too small to have any influence at the ballot box. And by the way, does anyone seriously think that there was ever any chance of these people voting for Hillary Clinton (or Joe Biden) in the first place?

To quote the same blog post:

> Dog whistling seems to be the theory that if you want to know what someone really believes, you have to throw away decades of consistent statements supporting the side of an issue that everyone else in the world supports, and instead pay attention only to one weird out-of-character non-statement which implies he supports a totally taboo position which is perhaps literally the most unpopular thing it is possible to think.

> And then you have to imagine some of the most brilliant rhetoricians and persuaders in the world are calculating that it’s worth risking exposure this taboo belief in order to win support from a tiny group with five-digit membership whose support nobody wants, by sending a secret message, which inevitably every single media outlet in the world instantly picks up on and makes the focus of all their coverage for the rest of the election.

Just imagine if you are a person that has a PhD in criminal justice, spent an entire career in the CJ system as e.g. a parole judge or internal affairs prosecutor, wrote textbooks about CJ reform, maybe even experienced incarceration and rehabilitation first-hand. Imagine how you would feel about this appointment. Would this look like a genuine commitment to advancing the kind of intelligent discourse that solves a problem? Or would it look like a desperate celebrity appointment for marketing and fundraising? Surely he’s brave and has learned a lot. His contribution was symbolically transformative. It’s hard to imagine that he is the expert on the topic. It seems to me that what is going on here is picking sides. BLM is like a social startup on a massive growth trajectory. Invest now for massive gains in social proof. There’s also a fear element, like, get your business on the internet or it’s the internet will kill your business. Replace ‘internet’ with ‘social justice movement’. This is the point in the timeline where every company on earth is desperate to make a website.
> Apple has always been far more controlling than Microsoft

How so? Both MacOS and Windows for years had a completely unhindered app installation process. Though it was much simpler on MacOS because you didn't need a custom installer, and you could easily move apps from one computer to another.
This is a great example about why despite the self-interested crying and whining, the App Store policy is a good thing.

Why does Microsoft care about this? They have the market power to negotiate better terms. The answer is simple -- they want to reassert control over email. The Outlook app no longer uses ActiveSync, and Microsoft architects usually imply or state outright that ActiveSync is a legacy product.

The MS client stack has a weaker technology advantage than it ever had. AD was the great anchor of enterprises, and it is eroding slowly as things shift to cloud. (Remember, enteprises are a decade behind startups) The whole point of moving away from open email protocols is that things like access control that enterprises need must use Azure AD. That drives deeper entrenchment in MS SKUs and drives products like ATP, Dynamics, the MS Voice stack, etc. Better PR/branding aside, Microsoft is more like 1995 Microsoft than ever.

You can see over the years, Microsoft has bolted all sorts of mobile user experiences over traditional Exchange/SharePoint/etc. Teams was the first one that has had staying power. They can't add functionality to the mail/messaging/video/collaboration stack unless they break legacy.

It would be really awful if Apple caved, and 80% of the commercial email market became a walled garden of a historically hostile platform owner, all so that Basecamp can make a few bucks selling an email client.
In case of war I expect no difference between the "liberal" countries and the "nationalistic" countries. Remember that Hiroshima and Nagasaki were civilian cities.

You gotta step back and start a new effort from a place of "relaxed momentum". Don't fret over what's wrong in the present, you're in negative thought loops. Activating super old evolutionary defense mechanisms in the human brain. Meditate, relax, and circumvent those.
It's worse than that. If you undermine chip fabrication to insert backdoors at the silicon level, you could disable...almost everything with an arbitrary signal. The only problem with this is that you, the attacker, need to be careful not to install the altered chips in your own infrastructure.
Sure, I read it more the other way around, the bloom filter thing is part of an ongoing thrust (like horton) to reduce the number of memory accesses for bucketized cuckoo (2 on failure, 1.5 on success) down closer to 1.

But in the case of flow-tracking, many more memory accesses would be needed to organise a heap or timer wheel, so that's where the main win is, compared to an incremental improvement on bucketized cuckoo / horton.
They are going to be, doesn't matter what I say. The cost/kill is significantly lower with a small fully autonomous suicide drone carrying a small explosive. All it takes is a small drone (30$), a few grams of explosives and software to kill someone (anyone). I'm sure the software will get there.
This is why Google’s strategy with PWA (Progressive Web App) intrigues me, although android is not a walled garden (sideload, 3rd party appstores) pushing for PWAs seems counter intuitive to increase its Playstore revenue; same reason why Apple has been hesitant about supporting PWA.

So what's the deal? It's hard to beleive Google cares more about open web platform than their Playstore revenue or it's just they want to ditch android/ART completely in future.

P.S. As a consumer I'm glad PWA exists and can't wait to see the end of duopoly in the smartphone ecosystem.
Laplace transforms are an entire industry. They are much more than just a simple trick. To hell with the passivity of myself in nature. Time to grow up.

Everything really is PID control. I will have zero surprise if gravitational applications, popping a particle into existence and using that event to get all the data in the universe, use Laplace.

If the chance of getting caught is low, I'm not sure stronger penalties make that much difference. See the drug war for example.
It's an interesting thought experiment as to whether there is a point of inflection where the risk of collateral damage is so little that it drives the opportunity for extra judicial killing too high.

500 isn’t a lot but I imagine having 10,000 flying suicide drones could be very effective in battle. Probably an EMP would bring them down. I wonder if something as simple as smoke bomb would render them useless if they couldn’t see properly.
Wirecard has been accused before of fraud by so called "short sellers". The document published (2 years ago?) showed a tremendous, extraordinary complex network of international corporations. Such complex setups have a very limited purpose. It can basically be only tax "optimization", hide fraud or hide ownership (UBO). After having seen this PDF I would not touch the Wirecard stock.

From the presentation:

1. There was a 4-20 percent chance a bomber would be destroyed in an allied bombing run over Germany in WWII.

2. An American airman would have to fly 25 bombing runs before they could go home.
I love this analogy. While Turkey can't spend hundreds of millions of dollars to buy smart missiles, it innovated to protect herself.

Its allies used to rent drones for surveillance against terrorism, then used it as both a carrot and a stick. Now, Turkey has its own drones that regularly take down targets effectively, even some air defenses.

After Syrian war started and "modern western liberal democracies" failed to help with the refugee crises, those borders became even more treacherous.
We've had enough problems stemming from the powerful parasitic middlemen that have ruined the Internet, we don't need more of them.

Drones are consumer level technology. This isn't very different from a high-end Mavic drone, except that someone mounted an explosive instead of a camera to it. On the other hand there is absolutely nothing that a regular consumer can buy that would reassemble a guided missile.
