> they're foreign because they're dangerous

They’re only dangerous because they’re excluded from the kingdom and are given little chance to survive. The entire narrative of Scar having control over them is based on him providing them with food, because their lands contain none. In the scene where they’re introduced, Scar brings them meat and his entire promise to them is “stick with me and you’ll never go hungry again”

Scar is evil and seeking power, but the hyenas are only following him because they’re looking for a better life, because what they have at the start is meagre.

At the end, when they turn on Scar, the threat seems to end, so it seems that only Scar has an agenda and the hyenas just want to live their lives. With Scar remover, the lands return to normal despite the hyenas still existing (although we’re not shown what happened to them, iirc).

Sure, they’re ruthless, but that’s at least somewhat understandable given their situation.

I'd say it took roughly 3 months on my own to learn enough Haskell to write a web server that does what I want. So I'd expect with professional coaching a smart person would end up on a decent level in 3 months, ready to put code to production.
Ask HN: What are books/hacks/actions for becoming an influencer at my workplace?
All ideas are welcome, personal experience is preferred. shoot.
Ok, so I want to make something clear to the (smart but mostly not "in-the-know" about NSO) HN crowd.

Let's say you're a Mexican drug lord or Saudi prince. You know this tech exists and the US/Israeli/European governments use it.

Then, you see this article, and see all the comments in the comment section about how competent, scary and balance-changing the technology is.

Basically: I think these pieces are bought for and paid by NSO through a PR firm, but you are not the target. When we leave comments like "NSO's tech is so good it has to be regulated!" or "NSO's tech is dangerous!" we are playing directly into the PR firm's clever hands.

It's like an article about how good the AR-15 or the F-35 are. Obviously to me (and most of the readers) it's mostly "why are we focusing on technology of death" but we are not the target.
This means you test your code manually ? I can't imagine not doing TDD, except during extremely early prototyping before knowing if a code will be useful at all.

OpenStreetCam seems to be owned by "Grab Taxi Holdings Pte. Ltd." based in Singapore.

Unless something has drastically changed in the past 5 odd years, Actual Geneticists (tm) happily use GWAS in many investigations of complex traits. They're often an early step in the overall pipeline in which they trawl for potential candidates for that target of interest, after which they go on to said more complex methods.

Why? You've already said so yourself. Those are expensive and tedious, and searching across the entire pool of human genetics with them is an exercise in futility.

Hi Vlad,

what BI tools currently can connect to QuestDB for ad-hoc reporting (without need to write SQL queries by hands)? I guess popular solutions like Tableau/PowerBI doesn't support QuestDB.

Is there a demand for BI tools that can use QuestDB as a data source? I'm asking about that because we can add a connector for QuestDB to our BI tool (SeekTable) with a little effort, but this has sense only if someone really will use it.

"Break ranks"? If you work for one of these actors (NSO with intentionally "sassy" PR or "quiet" ones like Verint or ones in the middle like Cellebrite) and leak info - you will get jailed.

Breaking ranks in this case is a 10 year jail sentence if you get caught.

Funnily enough, the ex-head of malware analysis for NSO recently released this https://www.jsof-tech.com/ripple20/ and "switched ranks" to the light side.

" but why is any hint of discretion needed at all?"

Do you really need to ask though?

When there's a topless woman in the middle of a restaurant, 99% of people are going to feel something is off.

There's a not-so-subtle difference between 'breastfeeding' and 'I'm going to leave my boobs hanging out while I set my baby down and get something out of my bag'

If you were in a restaurant, and someone was dangling their breasts for everyone to see (even a man for that matter) it would seem really odd.

I've seen women breastfeeding in public (airplanes, cafes) countless times, and I don't think anyone ever batted an eye, but there was always a shade of discretion.

A woman dangling her breasts around in restaurant, on the other hand, is a different thing entirely.

It's kind of ridiculous that we have a social protocol wherein nudity would not be appropriate in a given context, but then because of some specific need, that this protocol goes away. No. Nobody minds at all that someone is breastfeeding but people do mind fairly obvious nudity.

And I really don't think there's a soul in California who cares that a woman is breastfeeding or pumping milk in their car.

Pretty interesting behaviour, but I don't think you can claim this is a fault in the controller. The contract was being invalidated when he wrote invalid data to a register. After that, anything may happen.

Today, most hardware has some protection against abuse, but in the days of the BBC micro it was common for hardware and os to completely trust the software. There were plenty of storys of damaged monitors because of invalid timing parameters.

One of my own storys, and I'm a bit hazy so some details are probably wrong: We found an old computer in a university dumpster some night, and decided to mess with the floppy drive. More beer than common sense around. There was some way to tell the hardware which track to read/write, with sane values from 0 to 79. But it was a byte , we could go to 255, so we decided to go up up up!

Well, the drive did exactly as commanded. 80 - 85 worked quite well, except the floppy wasn't guaranteed to be magnetically coated. But once we pushed it too far, the read head went literally over the edge: It jumped off the axle, dropped on the spinning disk below, got a serious yank, and the tiny wires got snapped off.

All of this with a single x86 out instruction, I think in dos 3.x debug. The OS was not stopping you if you did something stupid, there was no hardware protection or anything.

Can't stand the arrogant victim-posing tone of this article.
I had a chance to ride an off road segway once and it was pretty fun, so I'd recommend it if you get the chance.

Never seen a segway advert, so I never really got an elitist vibe from them (although I did see one for a similar product marketed at kids called a dareway - it was this kind of standing Davros chair thing that balanced on two drive wheels and a number of hidden casters).
If you're going to start comparing prices you have to take into account ongoing costs for maintenance, taxes, insurance and fuel. After 3-5 years of ownership those probably exceed the initial purchase cost of a car like that.
You are missing a huge part of the picture.

If we can make an AI with an intelligence of a human, we can train that to be very good at some problem (like a human expert in some area). And then we can clone those intelligences into thousands in order to progress in that area much quicker.

A human-level intelligence is also a very important goal because it, even by definition, produces the singularity point. (AIs that can make better AIs, exponentially.)

> We don't care if it can't make a decent cup of tea.

We absolutely do, although it depends on the price at which they can do that. But once an AI can do that at all, it is only a matter of time before we can make them do it cheaply (we are very good at making things cheap once we know what things we need), at which point it becomes a driving force in our progress. Once there are self-driving cars, there will be a revolution in the labor force, for example, and driving is only a small portion of what a "human-level" intelligence is capable of.
Nearly anyone with a corporate issued Mac...

And in fact probably far more corporate users run Parallels/Fusion than developers as there are far far more corporate dependencies on Windows and older Mac OSes if MacOS was always an integral part of your business pipeline than there are developers.

Bespoke business software, accounting software, control software and most importantly legacy software people are still running Macromedia software and even older things to be able to pull out and open legacy projects.

Sorry to break it to you but just like Linux for desktops - Linux virtualization for Mac is a rounding error.

You also seem to not understand how people actually use parallels or fusion they aren’t running or managing guests directly, those are packaged and presented as apps by their IT department.

Half if not more of the apps on our Corp App Store for MacOS are packaged like that.

When Jane from accounting opens her managed Mac and clicks on Sage Book 2005 or some 20 years old bespoke Oracle Forms application she doesn’t know it runs in a VM likely under Windows and quite possibly even Windows XP.

I think you view is really detached from reality since you seem to not know how most businesses run and managed their endpoints.

There is a whole industry of abstracting “having to manage their computer” not because most people aren’t capable of doing that but because they weren’t trained to do so and even if they were/are it’s a complete waste of time and resources for them to do so.
There’s a lot of folks in here shouting “don’t develop until people ask for it!”

But there is a certain joy that comes when people ask “but what about XYZ” and you can respond “Yup, we thought of that!”

Granted, I work mostly on developer facing tools and services, which makes it much easier to anticipate the needs of my customer since I too am a developer.

And even with that caveat it’s not always a slam dunk... but it certainly is possible to anticipate requirements in a useful way.

TDD and unit tests aren't exactly the same thing. Also, not doing TDD doesn't mean that there's no automated testing. I prefer to write my code and then do a few end-to-end automated tests for the most important parts of the code to serve as a backup in case some change in the code causes massive failures. But TDD is overall tedious for (usually) little benefit when compared to a few well selected end-to-end tests. And unit testing is even less benefit for even more work, unless you are doing something very very specific.

>Because none of the things besides acquisition is anti-competitive in the context of anti-trust law.

Have you read antitrust law? The Sherman Act is vague enough that anything that could be considered anticompetitive would violate the law. The "Rule of Reason."

Publicly agreeing to an agreement allowing something and then changing the terms to control how competitive they can be is.
Our customers don't want to spend vast amounts of time qualifying an entire new release when they can accept an isolated fix instead and do more focused testing. They might need the fix for some critical part of their product. If I was them I'd do the same - if the rest ain't broke, why risk fixing it?

I'm not an expert on this either, but as far as I understand WebKit does not block beacon requests when you click on links. However, it does clear third-party cookies as it did before, which is described in the blog post. So what the commenter above is saying that this is showing instances where third-party cookies are being blocked, not where beacon requests are (which WebKit isn't interfering with). I haven't looked at the code for this in detail yet but from what I saw it seems that the implementation matched with this.

Ostracising someone from society solely on where they work without looking at their actual actions is implying guilt by association. A tactic often used by authoritarians. Everyone in a civilised society has the right to a fair trial without the presumption of guilt.
The consequences of the bill were widely misreported. From the day it was passed it had strong exceptions. Have a look at section 317ZG: http://www5.austlii.edu.au/au/legis/cth/consol_act/ta1997214...

You need to keep in mind that the tech media in Australia is just as rabid for clicks as the mainstream media, if not more rabid.

What the bill requires is that companies give targeted assistance where they can do so without compromising anybody else's security.

For example removing or weakening E2E encryption is absolutely not permitted by this bill, let alone required.

What might be permitted, for example, is adding a hard-coded list of account IDs to an app and if a user is in this list, the app sends plaintext to law enforcement. This would not impact anybody save the people who have been targeted.

Some time ago I have to deal with a particularly annoying disease. Thousands of healthy animals dying in mass overnight by asphyxia. A few hours before they where perfectly healthy. First asymptomatic, then mostly asymptomatic, then just a mild symptoms and then massive strike and death. Covid reminds me a lot to that time.
When you have good refactoring tools, a lot of this is significantly less issue. So, design for easy refactorabilitym lack of repetition and readability.

I dont like "used the simplest solution possible" advice, because people who I claimed doing that in real life tended to do unmaintainable spaghetti mess. It was "simple" in the sense of not having abstractions or nested function calls, but hard to read and understand big picture. Sometimes generic is a way to untangle such previous spaghetti mess. As in, it is second step on the road that requires 2 steps till it is really good.

Understand politics. A lot of those "future cases" are things that analysis or management requires initially or indirectly. They are also often result of trying to hit vague requirements - you dont know what customer really needs in enough detail, so you do it configurable in the hope of hitting the right place too. They are also situations in which people burned out in the past or special cases of special cases.

Otherwise said, the complicated thing is often requirement, initially. Someone had reason to ask for it or thought to have reason. It gets forgotten and ignored after a while in which case it is ok to cut it off.

That's the part I don't get; carrier bikes (bakfietsen) have been around since forever, used by tradesmen and the people alike. Motorized variants as well, I mean it can be botched together with an old lawnmower engine if need be.
