Sign of a new trend? Most ransomware teams use traditional tactics: phishing to establish beach head, pivot to hunt down admin creds, game over. Some teams make opportunistic use of perimeter vulnerabilities (ie pulse VPN).

Most companies struggle with basic security controls like patching. Very few would survive insider threats with admin creds.
I’m not sure about giving but you need a license/approval before you can interview someone. Many western youtubers came under scrutiny for it.
It works with arrays if you stick with std::array & std::span like constructs.

It also works with iterators-generally by sticking some extra data in the iterator in dev builds, so it can check for out of bounds access.

If I do have some code that uses C pointers + size, I'll insert some dev build assertions.
I have watched but don’t see what point you’re making. Care to elaborate?
The Pioneers were a youth organisation of the CPSU, so their officially
stated goal was making sure that the youth has the “correct” ideological
upbringing. But from a lot of people I've heard an opinion, that the
actual purpose of the organisation was to free up some time for the
parents, heh. The Pioneers did have a large network of what were
essentially hobby clubs, where children could learn new skill from older
kids and counsellors, so they did help children to pursue their interests
and talents in a way. Besides that, as far as I know, they weren't that
different from Northamerican Boy/Girl Scout organisations.
sorry for the ignorant question, how's nim optimizer going to benefit from write tracking? I suspect it has something to do with cursor inference (borrow checking)?
I really enjoy the articles put out on this website, as well as the points the author raises in each. I always enjoy seeing it appear on HN.

A query though - Is it possible to have some verification of the "top 100" personal sites claim? For example, years ago if you searched for "Sumerian gods" - you would get all manner of results, but nowadays you will always get Wikipedia as the top link, junk mixed in, and then other factual sources if you keep digging.

Wikipedia having top spot is not always necessarily a bad thing because ultimately most people searching likely want a factual source - or at least a source they trust. However, as a result of the two algorithms (and no doubt many more) we have a bunch of "junk" links in between the top link and the other interesting links. Even Britannica ranks lower than the junk links.

What I mean by "junk" links is the "Top 10 Best Sumerian Gods", etc. These frequently contain content lifted from other sources - including each other, spam-like advertising, and simply prey on the search engine's algorithms to get on to the front page beating the interesting content down into pages 3,4,5 and beyond. There's entire sites devoted to "how to" game the search engines, as is to be expected with any automated system.

Yes, the algorithms could be better - Britannica and other factual sources shouldn't be below "Top 10" lists, but so could the ethics of those who run sites purely for advertising revenue.

Conversely, better results are shown on page 1 for "Elizabeth I".
ah i see that and yeah after reviewing the concept of evergreen notes, I think your assumption is a safe one ...though the original post (pre-edit) was something like "oy using volume of notes written as a gatekeeper for knowledge work", which seems like a slightly different criticism of the statement.
There is a very important distinction between airspace and plain space. Violation of a country's airspace is a wilful act (unless of course you're lost). But you will inevitably have to fly over another country if you want to be in orbit. Even geosynchronous slots are limited to the equator (GSO insertion also requires phasing). This doesn't prevent countries from claiming 'aerospace' and destroying invading crafts. However, other countries could do the same and space exploration will be a non-starter for humanity as a whole. This is probably the reason why countries agreed to space treaties allowing overflight - and it will probably remain the same.

Of course, this logic doesn't apply to suborbital flights. Any country with the means will probably just shoot down unauthorized objects on suborbital trajectory into their airspace.
I've been guilty of this. Normally I like to blame CSS for all of my personal failures, but I think the definition of "overflow" is intuitive enough. I was hesitant to turn on visible scrollbars system-wide because I thought it might be ugly. I did and it's not, so I second the author's suggestion to do that.
Bill Gates had a proposal like that, back in the mid 90s if I recall correctly.
It's convenient. No extra configuration, additional devices, cables, remotes, doubled Settings menus, and so on...
The article is both assuming knowledge of how blockchain work but also seems to stem from poor comprehension of how blockchain work.

For example at no point are consensus algorithms challenge explained (protect against attacks by having the attacker expense a rare resource).

Furthermore, Proof-of-Work is associated with potential gain (if you don't do PoW due to no network for example you gain nothing i.e. opportunity loss) while Proof-of-Stake is associated with potential losses (if you do nothing, your stake is slashed, i.e. you actually lose something). This is contrary to

Yields on a Proof-of-Stake network represents a passive income avenue for a spectrum of individual/retail investors all the way to institutional players. This differs from the Proof-of-Work mechanism, most popularly represented by Bitcoin, which consumes electricity (mining) to secure the ledger. [...] a chicken and egg problem perhaps sped along by the more consistent rewards associated with Proof-of-Stake.

i.e. You lock your stake to secure the ledger (can't use it to earn on higher yield/risk products), it's also for security first and not for earning and lastly, the rewards are not that consistent either as you can lose your stake while in PoW you may lose electricity but you don't lose your investment in mining equipment
It is comforting to believe that none of the people you've worked with would ever do anything like this.

It is also probably incorrect.

People are usually not very open about their bad behavior, and if they were, that would say much about their perception of you.

I worked with a drug addict who had, more than once, shot up while in the office. I only learned this after he died of an overdose. When I expressed my shock at his use of drugs, several other employees expressed their shock at my shock. It turned out that those of us who were known for smoking a lot of weed had some knowledge of his drug use, while those of us he perceived as squares had no clue at all.

So kudos for being the kind of person the nasty abusers don't want to tip their hand to, but don't assume you haven't worked with nasty abusers.
Shame this is light on inputs - would be great if it included text boxes, checkboxes etc.
>That's already possible even without satellite-based internet and doesn't require it at all.

Maybe in developed countries. In India, most Power Plant construction sites don't even have dial-up internet. There are a lot of projects going on in a lot of remote places, where there is simply no infrastructure available for internet. StarLink could be rented for a while and perhaps used after that.

There is tremendous potential for such a service.
Your example works just fine on my ThinkPad P50. Unless I am missing something.
I wonder whether anyone has since thought of adding the KimKlone to that list.

> I kindly ask you to dedicate a little more attention to how the websites you create behave on platforms other than your own.

Agreed.

> Alternatively, you can set the scrollbars to be visible at all times by setting System Preferences -> General -> Show scroll bars to Always.

Disagree. Now you're using a different UI layout than the vast majority of your users!
I have to pile onto the criticism of the hidden scroll bars, and other similar features (like the hidden buttons of PDF viewers now, such as in Chrome). Discoverability is a problem.

For anyone (cough, elderly parents) who aren't adept at discovering hidden features, these things can be utterly mind-boggling and frustrating. Even I was stumped for a good minute the first time trying to print/save/download a PDF when that "feature" came out.

I don't really need the small sliver of menu space in PDF view to be reclaimed -- and for what, a "clean" look? Those are real and important functions I desire. What I actually need is for news and blog sites to stop covering 1/4 of their vertical window space with hovering frames, ads, and banners asking me to subscribe. Which, by the way, subsequently don't properly calculate into that now hidden scroll bar's movement and cause you to overshoot the displayable area when paging down. End rant.
I'm absolutely fine with this though.

I don't want to be stalked online, and I'll raise a glass over their bankruptcy notices.

Also, forcing users to login may also be in breach of GDPR, if you don't have a good reason to need a login, you're unnecessarily collecting personal information.

One obvious example of this is NVidia, you've paid for the card, yet they force you to login to use their apps.
Wow, that's pretty bad. I'm guessing the front end developers of those sites just do everything on a Mac and never check how the site looks on Windows or Linux.
Why I Am a Sociomediapath (2015)
Yeah I mean, nothing like the automated android updates that make the phone invevitably slower, less usable, and break previously ingrained interaction flows.

See the gmail app for endless pointless tweaking. It solved email perfectly fine, now it includes meets and some asanine button panel on the bottom taking up a massive amount of space.

My phone hasn't changed, but android has, and thus my phone is almost uselessly slow at this point compared to when I bought it a mere two years ago. Remember the feature phone that worked the same the day you bought it years later? What a blissfully simple device.

That's great writing, thank you very much for posting this link, it deserves a thread of its own, if you submit I will definitely upvote.
Apple got $12 billion from Google to keep Google the default search engine in Safari in 2019. (See [1].) All that money comes from ads. If Apple was really principled about privacy, they'd develop their own privacy-preserving search engine or steer people toward another one. As it stands, the pro-privacy measures Apple has in place are good, but are only what's convenient to users, and they often serve to promote their own revenue channels. Further, Apple seems to be default-on-ing their own ad network, while default-off-ing tracking by others. (See [2].)

I am an Apple customer because I believe in their oversight and governance on the App store. I really don't want third party stores and 30% fee seems fair given the access to huge distribution.
There is a Canadian named Jerry Grey, who went on a bicycle ride in China. He literally rode hundreds of kilometers in Xinjiang, away from mainstream tourist attractions, to remote places he himself is interested in. He was able to do that without government supervision; all the government checkpoints let him pass without much scrutiny. What he reports on is very different from mainstream media reports.

One of his blog posts:

https://medium.com/@jerry_grey2002/abc-four-corners-tell-the...

Does anyone know why his report is so different, and why the government would just let him go whereever, unsupervised? Do people here believe that his report is genuine, or do people here believe that it's fake?

I took specific filters, since I didnt need them all.

"introduced an enhanced scrollbar behavior that made scrollbars hidden by default"

That's not enhanced at all, it's horrible, and scrollbars should be more contrastful and bigger again
I’ve encountered this last year when I took over a project with a dev staff solely using Chrome on macOS.

The thing was: We catered for gamers which means Chrome or Firefox on Windows was the norm. We got a lot of bug reports like “hideous scrollbars in shop item description” or “hideous scrollbars in menu” where the devs were puzzled about the bug reports.

It's good that you used a throwaway account, because I think you already know: it was never done in 'good spirit,' not for the victims of your abuse.

What was amusing and fun to you and your friends drove people out of the industry, and is likely a very small part of why people lament imbalances in ethnicity and gender today.

Teenagers aren't great at understanding the consequences of their actions. I wasn't, you weren't, most of us aren't or weren't. It's hard to look back and realize that things you thought were in fun were not fun at all for the victims, but it's a good start.

You should stop buying all goods or services from those who do serious business with China: large US farming corporations, Microsoft, GE, GM, McDonald's, KFC, Boeing, Nike and Apple.

This is where you can actually make a difference as much as many people don't want to hear it.
I actually think it has more to do with the increasing size and sophistication of the touchpad in Macs. There is no need for a scroll bar when you have a touchpad you can flick (likewise for magic mice).
Starlink might even be affected by rain and weather conditions like some old wimax internet. I haven't seen any information about this regarding starlink.
True, but cellular infrastructure is definitively in someone's territory. If I stick a phone mast up I'm still subject to things like planning permission even if the signal crosses a border. As far as I'm aware, space is pretty similar to international waters in that nobody is sovereign there.

It could lead to a bit of a "wild west" situation with governments giving themselves extraterritorial powers. In the late 1980s the British government gave itself very draconian powers to conduct armed raids on radio ships in international waters for example, they take a really dim view of information outside of state control even if they're not the state controlling it.

About 70% of the earth is covered by water. If you had a sailboat with an auxiliary motor you could go hang out in the Sargasso Sea and have perfect weather most of the time, eat healthy with fresh caught fish and use silar panels to have enough electricity for laptop and starlink modem.
Teen Vogue is Marxist activism, not journalism. Buzzfeed news has had to make some high-profile retractions but they actually break real news.
Increasingly many sites are opting for overlay scrollbars that are exceedingly difficult to actually use. It's almost as if they don't want you to use the scrollbar yet provide one for compliance. They are often very thin (just a few pixels) and coloured dark gray upon black background and won't expand to a bigger size until you successfully squint and hunt it down and precisely position the pointer over it.
I wonder if the designers of the systems , after becoming so bored with the status quo, begin to fetishize the sleek hidden thing that is scroll bar right now ... like when coders are writing algorithms for say, 10-15 years I bet their code gets a lot more compact and sleek looking , almost akin to tight 3 character variable leet code solutions etc.. maybe this is just the same phenomenon tearing its head in the design world , except instead of compact code blocks its compact UIs that , to a certain metric, yes , the designer has pushed further on a certain metric ex; see more of the application window cause scroll bar is hidden, but loses sight of what is lost.
Also: reddit redesign is godawful. I HATE that designers think that unifying the look and feel of a website for desktop(horizontal screen) and phones (vertical acreen) is a good idea. For example: twitter has practically no difference between mobile and desktop view. And it wastes so much screenspace.

Altough, the reddit redesign sucks on mobile too.
> If you are a front-end developer that uses macOS, I kindly ask you to dedicate a little more attention to how the websites you create behave on platforms other than your own.

I'd take that one step farther - no matter what platform you code on, test your UX on all the others.
The latest generation of Starlink satellites is invisible to the naked eye once fully raised to full height in a couple of months. The impact on astronomers is real, but very small.

OTOH, the benefit is the ability to participate in the modern economy.

Curious how the YC involvement in China has panned out. I know they had divested somehow a couple of years ago, or at least they had started using another legal entity to do their bidding over there (maybe I'm mistaken on this).

Also, it was my impression that people directly involved with YC at the time (such as Sam Altman) were pretty "blinded" by what was happening elsewhere in China and their were focusing instead only on the potential monetary gains. Granted, they weren't alone in this, as much bigger fish such as Apple, MS, FB and even Google wanted a piece of the tasty pie and as such were ready to make huge compromises to get to it. Even so, for me at least it was a little disappointing, YC could have afforded to act on principles alone, its owners/founders are already pretty rich, plus they're not listed so don't have to battle with the tyranny of the shareholders.
Yes, and Fabien Cousteau is not known to be an antisemite, so why are you bringing up antisemitism in a conversation about Fabien Cousteau?
The only way to avoid your moral dread is to change your belief system. Anything that legitimately hurts the CCP a little would disproportionately devastate the residents there. If you boycott all factories that employ Uighurs, for example, that means that many of them will be laid off and sent back to reeducation camp.
Sure, and then when you enforce that you address the third most bothersome thing for me in C++, leaving you only with the top two (for me): a complex language and slow compilation.
I think politically, Europe still has a different mindset than US:

- We put a higher value on diplomacy and less on force

- I don't hear leaders say "God save <our own country>" (might be wrong here)

- We don't want to put guns in everyone's hands

- We have a more social system

- We don't spy on our allies for economical gains

- Our world is bigger than our country or continent

- We can point out various countries on a world map ;)

Not just that, they tend to blow up when one extrapolates 'too' far from data. This can be controlled for using other basis functions, for example functions in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space, radial basis functions. It is best to choose the basis based upon the data (as RBFs and RKHS bases do) and not chose a basis independent of the data. This applies for polynomials too, choosing a polynomial basis that's orthogonal with respect to the data distribution makes computations much better behaved -- otherwise its common to run into ill conditioned problems that are very sensitive to noise in the data.
I used to be a "paper boy", meaning I sold newspapers. I sat outside a restaurant. There were always a lot of flys. We used to bind the newspapers we sold with rubber bands so we had bags of them.

So I got really good at shooting flys with rubber bands.

To this day, when there is a fly in the house, I put a rubber band around my wrist and wait for the chance to shoot it.
The supersonic boom comes from the interactions between the aircraft and the medium, not from the medium itself. I think it stands to reason that the properties of the boom can be manipulated by manipulating the properties of the aircraft's shape. It's not even controversial that some aircraft design elements can reduce the intensity of sonic booms, the only question is whether Boom has enough know-how to achieve the house levels they promise.

That's not the case. The Nazi party won only 37% of the vote in the last arguably free election (1932). They also didn't win a majority in the 1933 election, which the Communists were barred from and which was post-Reichstag fire and suspension of civil liberties.

As someone who lives in SEA and used to live in China, he's able to move around because he lives in China and I assume has a long term visa and speaks Mandarin. And he is going with the blessing of the Chinese state media:

What he is saying does not seem remotely credible unless he has the evidence to back it up.

I don't think he's completely making up that he's been to Xinjiang, but what he is writing is propaganda and should be treated as such.
