Its true. Dead silence is a sign of mischief in progress, but sometimes you'll peek in on them and they'll be doing the cutest, most harmless playing, all by themselves in some corner off in their own world, and for just that moment you'll think you have the best kid in the world.
Well for starters, those are different folders because they mean different things.
If you’re ever trying to figure out where a binary is located, `which` and `whereis` will do that for you. Also programs will list in their `man` page where config files can be set etc, and sometimes they allow multiple options.

But yes, your inability to search anything up or to understand the basics of Unix constitute a complete design failure.
* Scene opens with two federal agents discussing a new case *

Agent 1: There was a shooting on 5th st.

Agent 2: Just use the phone records to look up everyone in the area and then arrest them at their work in front of their boss.

Agent 1: It's ok to do this because the innocent will surely have a way to prove their innocence.

Agent 2: But what if it looks bad that we are arresting so many innocent people?

Agent 1: In every legal system there are always more crimes than can be prosecuted. The discretion of prosecutors is an important legal function. If we arrest someone embarrassing, we'll just find something to charge them with.

Agent 2: Yeah and contact with federal agents also _generates_ more crime, like lying to one of us is a felony, right?

Agent 1: Hope they have the $250k it takes to defend against a federal felony.

* The agents laugh *

Thank you! I find that the worst bugs are usually the ones involving the logic of the algorithm, and the language has nothing to do with the bug itself. This is why I think that a language that is very explicit, and without side effects and therefor easy to step though using a debugger is desirable.

Buffer over runs, can be trickier, but I have plenty of tooling to find the issues.

Thread safety issues are what nightmares are made of.
> I’m not sure what OTM has to do with anything

The user I quoted claimed amateurs aren't going to lose money chasing FAANG hype, which is arguably reasonable if they're holding the underlying or even buying ITM options, but they seemed to forget that a lot of retail traders are burning money on OTM options that will most likely got to zero.

If you know systems are doing SHA(password), you could generate a database of precomputed passwords up to 10 characters. That's called a rainbow table. It can take a year to generate one and take a terabyte to store. The benefits of the table is to make lookup really fast.

You could still try to brute force up to 10 characters on the fly or try a dictionary of known passwords. Having a precomputed table is much faster though.

Systems have to use a salt per user like HASH(username + password) because user+password won't be found in the table. This effectively break usage of rainbow tables. The salt only needs to be unique per user account, an email is good enough.

It's nonsense when you say to generate a table per user. It could take a freaking year to generate a table! That's not feasible.

That being said. For something like Linux or Windows accounts, if it were using something like HASH(username + password), it could be worthwhile to make a table because the username is always "root", so that use case should use something else than the username as salt. ^^
There are many classic books and movies that people read now and say, what's the big deal? I've consumed tons of material that said this just as well if not better!

What they, and you, fail to realize, is that after the copycats have come in, the pioneer looks outdated. But they are the ones standing on his shoulders, even if, with the benefit of hindsight, they've found more effective ways to spread the same message.
Stripe started with mongodb https://www.mongodb.com/blog/post/mongodb-powering-the-magic...

You can just buy the Vive Focus. I have the one with the eye tracking built in. There are a lot of games in the app store, so it's not clear that is "only" enterprise. Yes, they don't go out of their way to market it as a consumer device, but there isn't anything functional to prevent it.

In general though, I agree. There needs to be more 6-dof standalone headsets. I'd love to have a standalone WindowsMR headset. Something like HoloLens with lenses and OLED displays instead of the waveguides.

The Quest is pretty good, but it's not all that great to think that Facebook is an unbeatable juggernaut. Hell, all of the standalones (3-dof or 6) are still only running the Snapdragon 835 Mobile (not much more than clones of Qualcomm's first VR headset reference design), where the 855 and 865 have tracking on-chip. The 835 is not actually all that great for VR (it's what's running in my now-ancient Pixel 2), it's just the only SoC that hardware vendors have put the effort into. Hell, Qualcomm has two SoCs specifically for XR that nobody is using.

EDIT: correction, the HoloLens 2 is running on the 850 Compute Platform, which is mostly the same as the 845 mobile.
Indeed. It would be well if more people appreciated this point.

KMS is managed by IAM so you can attach roles or use STS (create an access key / password) that can assume a role that can encrypt.
>A part of their wealth is coming from the pockets of workers who have to work for lower wages than before and get hit by depreciation that they didn't account for when earning

I'm pretty sure that the large majority of uber/lyft drivers never worked as taxi/limo drivers, so not sure how we can compare their earnings to "before". The cost of the vehicle has always been an import part of the economics of the taxi/limo business. In the old days, you would either have to be an employee, with lower hourly rate, lots of mandated hours, but with employee benefits, or you would have to pay rent for the use of someone else's vehicle, which would come out of your earnings if you were working for yourself. At least when people buy their own vehicles for ride-sharing, they are getting the vehicle at cost, not cost + profit margin, and they get to use the vehicle for personal use, meaning they don't need to spend money on a separate vehicle for personal use. For a lot of potential uber/lyft drivers, the additional flexibility of working or not working whenever you like is better for them than being an employee. Seems unclear to me how taking that choice away from them would improve their lives somehow?

There is a separate issue about whether adults should have the right to make their own decisions, even if they may turn out to be harmful to them. But it's not clear to me whether making the choice to be a taxi/limo driver 20 years ago was very different in that regard to becoming an Uber/lyft driver today?

Fyi had a family member in the taxi/limo business in NYC for many years. They started as a paid driver, then managed to find someone to rent them a limo so they could work for themselves, then saved up enough to get their own limo, then eventually gave up driving and just rented their limo to other drivers. Both parties at each stage were consenting adults.
Actually for many rows I delete and insert.

Much easier to write.

DELETE FROM t WHERE id IN (SELECT id FROM new_data);
INSERT INTO t SELECT id, other_field FROM new_data;

It seems so natural to me that I do not have to repeat field list.

Queries were mostly in context of ETL, so never considered performance issues. Never wrote such code for OLTP.

Nothing they can do about the specification. There is a DSI driver in the proprietary firmware, but there is also an open-source upstream version:

https://github.com/anholt/linux/wiki/Raspberry-Pi-and-other-...

This is a theme with the RPi. They generally implement new hardware in their proprietary firmware first, for lack of skills/time to do a proper upstream job of it (or the convience of copy-pasting some vendor code), then pay someone to develop an open-source driver. For example, here is a massive 80 patch series nearing merge for the new display pipeline in the RPi 4:

Noone uses MD5 in the real world. SHA-256 is generally the minimum now (for anyone serious about passwords)
I also recall that it was actually primarily a GPU chip which had an ARM core originally intended as a driver for the GPU (and not really intended as a primary processor). And they were leftovers from larger volume chip runs.
Billionaires often make compelling arguments for why they should get to keep their money (Paul Graham and Elon Musk being two examples).

I disagree with their point of view because:

1. My neighbour having enough food to eat and a warm house is a form of wealth FOR ME.

2. If wealth that is generated is taxed, this means that it is harder to accumulate wealth, this means that the people that do manage to accumulate wealth have better qualities than the people that do so in a tax free environment. And thus they make better decisions about how to allocate their money.

3. Billionaires are not accountable to anyone for how they spend their wealth. This is fine if they are all like Musk. But they are not. Of the countless number, only two are trying to build rockets to Mars. Counter examples are Osama Bin Laden and the guys who funded the NRA. If the wealth is taxed then it is fought over in a shared space in which we all have a say, no matter how small.

I like the argument that Rawls made in "A theory of Justice", where he said that when you are deciding how to make a fair society you should think from a perspective in which you do not know what role you will have in that society.
The Trans Pacific Partnership is an example of something that could have increased global prosperity without covertly toppling governments or playing other dirty games. Some of the gains of free trade can be used to fund social programs and "bribe" the primary opponents to free trade. A diverse coalition of industrialists, unions, farmers, and populists on either side of the aisle are holding our country hostage.

The relatively predictable deflation rate of Bitcoin is completely swamped by Bitcoin's extremely high exchange rate volatility versus other assets. Inflation for the dollar and other major currencies is not really a problem anymore because when money supply increases or money becomes less scarce that excess is now absorbed by speculative increases in asset prices rather than CPI inflation. Thus housing and stocks, and Bitcoin go up in value but by definition these prices don't matter for inflation. Bitcoin's run up in recent years is almost entirely due to easy money (low interest rates) not due to increased usage in commerce or intrinsic factors like Bitcoin's endogenous deflationary tendency. There is no reason, why in the face of a general financial crisis, where asset prices are generally falling, prices of houses and stocks, etc, are falling, that bitcoin would not also crash. Its current price is not supported by internal deflation or increased usage. Its current price is part of a broader asset price bubble that can and will pop someday, probably soon. There is no reason why sub $100 Bitcoin is not possible a year or two from now.

Bitcoin is not really like digital gold because gold has unique properties that can not be duplicated. Anybody can create a new cryptocurrency at any time. There is no scarcity of cryptocurrency as a whole.

There's also the problem of selective enforcement. Nearly everyone has done something wrong at some point, even if it was a minor traffic offence. If surveillance is good enough, the government will have dirt on close to 100% of people, leaving it in the position of being able to dig up decades of minor offences whenever it doesn't like you.

I'm sure there are use cases for this, but I see two issues I'd be worried about when using it.

First of all, any exclusivity requirements on any platform. Something like this must get you in trouble with the TOS of any of these sites.

Second, the culture of streaming on each platform is unique. Not to mention the form factor and expected behavior of any chats on each system. Or even things as simple as vertical vs horizontal video formats. Sure there are areas where this doesn't matter, there always are, but it shouldn't be ignored when trying to spread your reach.

>>Easy ways to stop that, make it illegal to take your wealth when you renounce citizenship.

If you have to come up with ways to stop people from fleeing your country instead of too many people wanting to enter your country then you probably have a problem. And no, I don't think it is as easy as you say. Simple sounding solutions like this can have huge disastrous consequences.
The discussion of "MD5 collision resistance is bad, but md5 preimage resistance is still ok, so using md5 for applications where preimage resistance is required is ok" is I think completely valid (however pointless it is)

However for password hash functions to be useful they also need to have a high work factor to make brute forcing even more difficult.
Discrepancies Cast Doubt on the Better Than Expected Jobs Report
Personally, the fears around privacy are about harm being done to myself or others with my data. Google would be fine, except that big tech companies like Google sell your data to advertisers, who then use that data to coerce you into buying products and services that you might never have purchased if left to your own devices. That crosses into 'harm' territory.

For a more clear demonstration of harm, think about Facebook and Cambridge Analytica, and the very real and tangible effects that scandal had.

I'm not talking about people, I'm talking about companies behaving badly.

I want the entire world on the Internet. I want everyone creating more and consuming things that better fit their interests. I'm a creator! I want people using my stuff!

But at the same time I want our data and our tools to be open. I want portability and the ability to integrate how I want. We had some semblance of that, and now it's gone.

The web is eroding!

Mobile is locked down!

Our data is stuck in silos!

We're being tracked!

Diversity is gone!

Interoperability is gone!

These things happened.

The DOJ should break apart Google, Apple, and Facebook. They haven't been good stewards of the Internet.

> Legislation that makes this illegal would be a great (and really easy) start.

Legislation is really working right now, with Congress sitting on 400+ bills and refusing to vote on them, and with known members of the government, including the actual President of the United States of America, committing crimes and the top law enforcement agent doing worse than nothing about it.

Laws work in a society that values them. Once you throw that away, your authoritarians will do whatever fits their needs. And surprise, the authoritarians are doing just that right now.

The federal government doesn't promote the covid fear only because of which party is in power right now.
