Malware authors are just regular developers - they don't want to spend hours trying to hack together a C binary to dump a database when six lines of Python will do it.

It used to be that malware authors (virus writers in particular) were characteristically more "hardcore" than the average developer, as in preferring native code (even handwritten Asm) and clever optimisations to make their software smaller and more "tricky", for lack of a better term. But that was when it was as a whole not as commercialised, so it's not so surprising to see that aesthetic disappear with increasing commercialisation.

It's the other guy's CPU, after all

...and that might be why malware was initially more optimised than average; it spreads more easily when it's tiny and fast, doing its thing without being noticed, than if it causes a noticeable increase in system load that will prompt further investigation and lead to its discovery.

I wonder when we'll see Electron being used for malware...
Generally it is the table design, and not the ORM that is the constraint on how you can write your queries. A good ORM lets you customize any part of the query, or even just write plain sql. Most performance problems that pop up as a product matures aren't because the ORM generates "slow" queries, it is because the table design didn't scale. That can't be fixed by writing plain sql.
It is. This is how I would've written it.

> 3) Use a strong encryption algorithm like aes-256 to encrypt your bitcoin wallet using the key from step 2.

bitcoin wallet private key is 256 bits. Why not just sha256 hash a password and xor it with the private key? Seems like a decent one time pad to me and much simpler than your approach.

And before you say how easily sha256 passwords are brute-forced (they aren't if you pick a password longer than, say, 20 characters) the attacker would need to know so many things that it is unreasonable to assume they would even try that. They would need to know a) my bitcoin private key was xored with a OTP b) the OTP was generated using sha256 c) anything else I did

> 4) Use steganographic techniques to hide the ciphertext from step 3 in an image, email, executable, pdf, etc.

If I were the leader of a totalitarian regime, I would almost certainly make my country's great firewall have extensive anti-steganographic measures. Any common file formats used for smuggling information that pass through the great firewall must first have all of its padding bits zeroed before continuing to its destination. If people start abusing metadata, metadata should be zeroed as well.

Didn't GP say they take everything of value at the border? That would include computers and disks. "You could pass the border occasionally to visit family on the other side, but it was risky to take anything."
That has planned provocation written all over it.

1. Bring new troops trained in different area(much easier to bash someone head in with a club when you were not stationed right across from him)

2. Instantly escalate by attacking enemy officer(clearly planned event)

3. Have melee weapons prepared and ready to go(clearly planned)

Indian officer and men acquitted themselves well I have to say reacting against completely unforeseen attack with their own initiative and aggression. Shutting down this play and counter attacking.

This article explains this a bit - https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Companies/TSMC-rebuffs-Sams...

> The only rival that had the now-retired founder looking over his shoulder was Samsung. In 2016, Samsung lost orders for a new iPhone and TSMC ended up as the dominant Apple supplier. The South Korean company then resorted to sharp price-cutting, taking advantage of its excess capacity to help Samsung win new customers, including Qualcomm. Some insiders at TSMC suggested they follow suit. However, Chang brushed aside the advice. In the end, TSMC came out unscarred, at least on the surface. This is because it was able to profit from a sharp increase in demand from emerging companies, including Bitmain Technology Holding -- a major Chinese supplier of equipment for cryptocurrencies -- and Huawei. U.S. customers, including Qualcomm and Nvidia, continued to place the majority of their orders with TSMC. Hence, Samsung failed to break TSMC's grip on the industry.
I see so much hate in this thread. Do you know how many indie developers and small companies in the world rely on free plans and free tiers? I leave in Thailand where the average salary is $450/month, I can assure you a bootstrapped startup here won’t be paying for any SaaS service.

I wouldn’t even see it as an issue if Skypack decide to throttle free plans at some point because their costs are too high. I mean you get what you pay for!

Why is nobody hating on CloudFlare for their free plan? On Heroku for their free dynos? On AWS for their numerous free tiers? The list is soooo long!

Let the guys be, let them try a few things until they find a niche and a business model that fits them.
Worse, there was one season (S2 or S3?) where it was released on iTunes the day after each episode aired, for I bought a season pass, think it was maybe $30-40, perhaps even $50. The following season that option wasn't available due to Foxtel having a big sook, so I just stopped watching altogether.

I feel this is also a problem with music. The last 10 years you can just dump whatever you want on Soundcloud or go private release on Spotify.

Now, don’t get me wrong, I do not celebrate the label system at all, and maybe that freedom of getting your music out there is worth the cultural cost we pay, but for example what East Coast Hip-Hop had with Stretch & Bobbito, that kind of curation is sorely needed.
These days for curators it’s all about hype and whatever gets you a buck, but as was said in Stretch & Bobbito’s documentary “we’d play stuff that probably only appealed to like a hundred people out there. But it was dope, and dope deserves to be heard”.

AFAICT, the site computes the risk that at least 1 person out of a group of N people will carry the virus. It does this by estimating the percentage of the population likely to be carriers.

I think it overestimates the number of carriers. For SC, it is estimating 400K carriers, or about 9% of the population. I think that estimate is absurdly high. For comparison, SCDHEC is reporting 350K cumulative cases (58K reported).

The number of carriers out in public is not the same as the number of active infections. If you know you're sick, you're going to stay home and not be at an event. So what we really want to know is how many of the active infections are presymptomatic. We can do this by forecasting the number of cases over the next couple of weeks, and work backward using a distribution for the incubation period (very roughly: 0% 0-2 days, 25% 3-4 days, 25% 5 days, 25% 6-7 days, 25% 8-11 days). Then multiply by an under-reporting factor (which may have been 20x or more early on, but is likely much smaller now that we have widespread testing).
Sounds like piss poor security / opsec.

How software engineers can be nicer to other software engineers
Master Foo and the Ten Thousand Lines

Master Foo once said to a visiting programmer: “There is more Unix-nature in one line of shell script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.”

The programmer, who was very proud of his mastery of C, said: “How can this be? C is the language in which the very kernel of Unix is implemented!”

Master Foo replied: “That is so. Nevertheless, there is more Unix-nature in one line of shell script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.”

The programmer grew distressed. “But through the C language we experience the enlightenment of the Patriarch Ritchie! We become as one with the operating system and the machine, reaping matchless performance!”

Master Foo replied: “All that you say is true. But there is still more Unix-nature in one line of shell script than there is in ten thousand lines of C.”

The programmer scoffed at Master Foo and rose to depart. But Master Foo nodded to his student Nubi, who wrote a line of shell script on a nearby whiteboard, and said: “Master programmer, consider this pipeline. Implemented in pure C, would it not span ten thousand lines?”

The programmer muttered through his beard, contemplating what Nubi had written. Finally he agreed that it was so.

“And how many hours would you require to implement and debug that C program?” asked Nubi.

“Many,” admitted the visiting programmer. “But only a fool would spend the time to do that when so many more worthy tasks await him.”

“And who better understands the Unix-nature?” Master Foo asked. “Is it he who writes the ten thousand lines, or he who, perceiving the emptiness of the task, gains merit by not coding?”

Upon hearing this, the programmer was enlightened.

Well. Forgetting lowercase but doing the rest of the search parsing was a bit of a mistake. That should now be fixed, though it might take a little while to propagate through the caches.

There's really, really, not much to the tech behind it. Nothing surprising, and nothing really special.

The website itself is 446 lines of a Python bottle app, behind an aggressive nginx cache.

For example, the homepage is:

@bottle.route("/")
@bottle.view('home')
def home():
# Get some random articles
random_articles = []
for url in list(set(get_recent_urls(N=9))):
random_articles.append(record(url))

random.shuffle(random_articles)
random_articles = random_articles[:3]

# Get the top tags
tags = top_keywords(N=10)

count = url_count()
update = datetime.now()

return {"articles": random_articles, "tags": tags, "count": count, "update": update, "tag_kind": 'Trending'}

There's no... "magic" there.

The link-fetcher is slightly larger at around 700 lines of Python, but most of it is taking edge-cases into account. Like finding where the timedata is hidden on a BBC page (comes as an epoch), or on CNN's lite site where it doesn't have a tag (and has to be manually parsed), etc.

The vast majority, about half of the fetcher, is a series of fallbacks to keep trying until it finds something, before it finally gives up.
And to think, 4 years ago the headline was “Economist forecasts Clinton likely to beat Trump in US 2016 presidential election”. But as they say all models are wrong but some are useful.
How is this a feature of Apple? I had the same experience with Sony Vaio’s in the early 2000s, corporate Dells, HP zBooks, and Apple Mac’s. Either they don’t bat an eye at the repair or they interrogate you about a liquid indicator or some other small issue to get out of it.

The workaround I usually use when that happens is to pick a existing torrent that you added from a magnet link, then have the other end add the same magnet link, which downloads the magnet-linked file and then (IIUC) finds your source computer via PEX.

There's a lot of contribution here from Jim keller, a.k.a. the silicon ronin.

He was the one who designed A4/A5 - the very first apple silicon, that I distinctly remember having performance on par with other offerings at the time.
All the time. The easiest example is that we have a search box on the top of every screen that makes the same API calls and has the same results (wiki-style app). The code also shares a lot of similar functionality that's on almost every screen, like displaying a loading prompt. We put these in some base classes.

Larger codebases also use them extensively. I worked on a project which had multi-millions in funding. Basically it was video streaming functionality, dealt with DRM/CA, rewind, optimization, all that done. We were on the UI team, meaning we build a different UI based for a specific client brand, utilizing the same code as in done in many countries.

With those, you don't build a custom code from scratch. You just inherit and modify.

I only use them heavily in Java though, never JavaScript, even though we built that video streaming app in both. It's just a different paradigm. I can live fine without inheritance though. It's just a nice to have.

It seems in firefox the invert doesn't apply to the background color of the html element so you end up with yellow on white.

NAT breaks certain things, and broken NAT breaks them further. The specific thing I can speak of is VoIP or more accurately SIP. SIP was designed for the public internet and so there are NAT workarounds, such as: if my interface has an RFC 1918 IP, I’ll use STUN along with certain SIP headers and tags to indicate I’m behind a NAT and need special treatment by the remote SIP agent. Using public IP space as NAT foils this logic entirely.
