I've followed the Pivot podcast for a while and Kara Swisher and Scott go back and forth on this on occasion. She generally took a more pro-privacy stance and Scott is much more concerned with the arbitrary way in which tech companies seem to cooperate or resist authorities depending on how they feel at any given day.

Kind of torn on the issue. In general I think Scott has a point. Having vital national security infrastructure in the hand of unaccountable private firms who'll do whatever they'll like is bad, but the US government is just about one of the worst on the planet to make that case.
Wouldn't that be a good thing for supplement manufacturers? They can charge more due to the scarcity.

It was what, a little over 30% drawdown, that's a crash now? I've lived through 5 crashes then, hope to live through a few more.

Great Depression, not recession, and nope. During the Great Depression the unemployment rate hit 25% and was over 15% for most of a decade, here's the graph: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Depression#/media/File:U....
If you haven't, you should check mpd (music player daemon). Lots of clients, works very well.
I've been tossing around thoughts for this recently. I think the solution is something that, like scons, is built on top of a proper programming language. Unlike scons, however, it should be imperative, rather than declarative.

Core primitives, like 'a file is out of date iff its modification time or hash has changed', should be expressible 'in userspace', as it were—the core of the build system shouldn't know about them. (Though it should have some concept of a target being up-to-date and not being rebuilt, it shouldn't need to know about files.) This, combined with the ability to create proper abstractions, means you can emulate the primitives of all existing build systems and give them a common substrate.

(Bonus: assuming the core primitives are done right, you can still get performance as good as ninja. Which is good, because you won't be able to compile to a build system like ninja.)
Here's the description for CVE-2020-1472: An elevation of privilege vulnerability exists when an attacker establishes a vulnerable Netlogon secure channel connection to a domain controller, using the Netlogon Remote Protocol (MS-NRPC), aka 'Netlogon Elevation of Privilege Vulnerability'.

Right, but that's not what's happening. Value spreads, the difference in price between the most expensive stocks and the cheapest stocks, are at all-time highs.

So the opposite is true: very few people are value investors these days. Possibly in part because value has under-performed over the last 10-15 years. Will the trend reverse? Who knows.
This is my preference as well! I even wrote an Android client app / Python server to control it from my phone.

While the chromecast's inability to work with captive portals is it's own problem, they make tiny wifi routers, half as tall and twice as thick as a smartphone, and they're cheap. If you find yourself facing captive portals more than once, I'd recommend buying one so you can use your Chromecast in hotel rooms, among other use cases.
The Applied Mathematics program at UCLA (and others I'm sure) have produced many CG researchers under the direction of Joseph Teran. I'm sure there are many other great programs and professors; this is just one that I know about from colleagues that have gone through the program.

Yes, but GPU architecture changes very frequently.

Shaders from 15 years ago still work, but they're compiled on-the-fly to a GPU-dependent format. I expect you don't want to have to recompile an entire c++ stdlib every time you recompile your own code.
This is definitely one of the best books I've ever read related to computers. Highly recommend.

>another bogus claim that the virus was produced in a laboratory (it came from Nature)

Seems the "expert" opinion is entirely dismissive of any claims contradicting the narrative that it came entirely from nature/naturally selected. Despite the fact that this week, there's research showing the pangolin was ruled out as an intermediate, and the bat theory is totally absurd.

I find other discussions[1] surrounding this far more compelling than an outright dismissal. Jumping to any conclusion, either way, is premature. But I'd hope we'd all agree that if it escaped from a lab when researchers were doing GoF research, that such research should be banned worldwide. And this apparently being the third lab escape in a decade from Chinese labs, that they are far more scrutinized.

Imagine finding a rock in the stream when you are ~10. Rock so beautiful you become center of attention everywhere you show it. Soon enough you start wearing it as necklace. People stop you in the street to strike conversations, take pictures, offer presents. Life is good, everything is easy. No roadblocks, no queues, no entry exams, all because of something you found as a child. You start to get paid for just standing still while people photograph your pet rock. Obviously you drop out of uni, uni is for lesser people. You dont need education, you dont need skills, you have your pendant, you are set for life!

With time you start to get jealous of people taking pictures. Its your rock! how come they get paid for its image? You are angry because someone managed to capture the side with slight blemish. It gets insane to the point you drop $80K on a picture of your own rock, so you can stand next to it for double the rockiness.

You learn rocks erode after a while. The horror of losing the only thing you ever had going for you finally hits hard. Its so unfair, you were supposed to coast on the cloud for eternity. Maybe there could be some legal avenues you could explore to exploit all of those photos of your rock after all? Will someone think of the poor rock owners?
In vue, you don't even touch the data, you just sprinkle an attribute on the existing html to augment functionality much like you'd do unobtrusive js w/ jquery.

The approach you mentioned sort of works but a) it does require refactoring backend code (which by itself may already be a non-starter depending on whether you're dealing w/ a "old guard" backend tech lead, for example) b) it opens up potential security holes if implemented as you describe, c) you might lose SEO visibility and/or fail more catastrophically (i.e. a js exception might blank out the page entirely, vs merely breaking toggling), etc.

A more nitpicky code reviewer might also question the usage of babel off of a CDN if you went with a no-build JSX approach, the usage of window, etc.

By comparison, the vue snippet would be trivial, "production worthy" and it handles all the things above correctly.
Two specific CSS selector-isms which will bite you in the rear
Postmodernism in philosophy is associated with rejection/skepticism of common narrative (eg reject absolutism in Marxism/capitalism/etc). He claims he understands the common trends (in “infoops”) and goes beyond them, which I guess is his justification for the word choice. I agree it feels more of a flex than an actual precise use of language.
I understand your sentiment, but I gain humility and inspiration knowing how my ancestors lived and the sacrifices they made to have a better life.

To each his own.
There is abundant circumstantial evidence that these two hypotheses are not of equal plausibility.

Thanks for the feedback! I'm on the Playwright team.

Maybe they'll later do a version where the corner of the PCB that has the wifi radio is notched out and there is a set of horizontal pins to slide in a replacement pcb... so you could replace the wifi radio with LoRa.

Sticking LoRa in this would be awesome, (e.g. https://www.meshtastic.org/), but I can understand why it has wifi.

It's definitely getting out there anyway, in my local Boots the entire vit D section was empty, still a few bottles of the more expensive versions left (e.g. gluten free versions).
Almost all of the time, they do it via just adding new features and not breaking old ones.

But yeah, GNU/Linux and Solaris both have symbol versioning as part of ELF (I'm not sure if other executable formats have it; it doesn't actually require very much out of the format). The approach, roughly, is that each symbol in the file is named something like "memcpy@GLIBC_2.2.5", and if you see symbol versions in the library you're linking against, you include those references. The dynamic linker is also smart enough to resolve unqualified symbols against some default version the library specifies. This is important for backwards-compatibility, for the ability for distros to add symbol versions when upstream doesn't have them yet, and for things like dlsym("memcpy") keeping working. When they make a backwards-incompatible change (e.g., old memcpy supports overlapping ranges, new memcpy does not promise to do the right thing and you need to use memmove instead), they add a new version (e.g., "memcpy@GLIBC_2.14"). Anything compiled against the newer library will reference the new version, but an implementation of the old version still sticks around for older functions.

And yes, there were older versions before libc.so.6 - libc.so.5 was used, I think, in the early 2000s, but they've avoided changes since then. (The approach used there is that you can install both of them on a single system, but "libc.so" symlinks to one of them, and that name is used when you compile code. When you run gcc -lfoo, it looks libfoo.so, but if the library has a header saying its "real" name, called its "SONAME", is libfoo.so.1, the compiled program looks for libfoo.so.1 and not libfoo.so.) Now you only have to have a single glibc version and it works with many years of updates.
> Not sure why you think discrimination is ok.

I'm not saying it's great and perfect. But I get where they're coming from and I'm not shocked.

I've spent quite some time in Thailand and I've seen the amount of poverty there. A lot of Thais work very hard for barely nothing, and they don't have the social nets we have in developed countries. With that in mind, I can understand Thai citizens have different rights than foreigners when accessing public goods. It's no big deal to pay $15 (cheap by western standard). And if it's cheaper for Thai people who can't afford it, I'm more than happy to help, considering I'm lucky being born in a rich country. If it was $15 for everybody, most Thai people couldn't visit their parks. And I don't know if they would be able to maintain their parks without that money.

By the way, there is more discrimination coming from developed countries than the opposite. I had Thai friends who wanted to visit Europe or the US. They had to apply for visas, which were expensive and sometimes denied with no reason. It was very stressful and humiliating for them.
We can not be polarized to the point that uplifting the nations founding principle is seen as taking a side. I just don’t get your logic. At that point anyone encouraging voting is subtly siding with Democrats.

To me this seems similiar to if you want to call yourself a physician, you need to be able to speak latin. Its true (at least need to pass an exam), but it is only signaling, and no just having a few latin derived labels.
Bunnie (as you seem to be around here) — can the accel/gyro values be read/sampled? They’re listed under the “anti-tamper” category on crowdsupply so I wasn’t sure. Are there some specs on max Gs, sample rate, etc.?

—

I find this device extraordinarily appealing (will definitely be backing). Bunnie is a hardware hacker’s hacker, the project has at least 2 years of development behind it. It will most definitely ship, and work. Ha.

But — I’m specifically excited because this seems like an ideal platform to build whimsical mobile hardware projects.

My dream of a 2000-era electronic organizer with a “retro” (non touch) display, with physical keyboard, and battery, and programmable/hackable and fully open... this is truly a dream come true.

Why couldn’t this become the democratizing mobile Arduino-like hobbyist “base”?

I’m extra, extra excited about it!

(And dream of adding LTE and making a retro minimal... phone OS/“app”? Fast email + wikipedia clients??)
These are not what I would call mental models. These are strategies (in various forms) and, as such, relatively vague strategies for assembling mental models.

Mental models live on a continuum ranging from directly incorrect to accurate. You always have them, mostly the incorrect ones early on in your career. With wisdom comes the accurate mental models and I would kill (not literally of course) for obtaining the good ones :)

As a counterpoint, my builds are mostly too fast to care, but modifying the CMake files that describe them is excruciating. It's a miracle of software engineering that CMake functions, but wow is the language awful.

This looks lovely. I've long been looking for a hackable device in this form factor, albeit more with the intent of running Linux.

One thing I can't find any detail on is the keyboard. Making a keyboard from scratch is well outside of usual low-volume productions and there aren't any readily available parts in this form factor as far as I know. How is the Precursor's one made/sourced?

There is no change of stance, but there is a subtlety. The hair to split here is that between "security" and "trustability".

I'm defining "security" to include the ability of a device to keep a secret after it's been verified and provisioned. This is also known as "tamper resistance".

I'm defining "trustability" as the ability of one to draw the conclusion that the device in front of you is in fact the device you think it is. It's an essential pre-requisite for security, but it is not identical to "tamper resistance", which is probably what more people expect when they hear the word "security" (that is, security sounds more like a bullet proof vault than a correctly constructed system).

From the trustability standpoint, even a sophisticated technologist will typically have no evidence-based reason to trust any given chip, because they likely have no tools on hand that can verify its correct construction without simultaneously destroying the chip. For example, not many people have a ptychographic x-ray system at home.

On the other hand, you may have some reason to trust an FPGA, because with the tools in your home you can craft your own bitstreams and designs that incorporate countermeasures to potential exploits buried in the FPGA. It tips the balance of power from a "hands up I surrender" situation to a cat-and-mouse game. Furthermore, there is a limit to how deep the rabbit hole can go, because with sufficient countermeasures the circuitry required to backdoor the design without detection becomes larger than can fit within the raw size of the FPGA's silicon.

Thus, an FPGA is "more trustable" than an ASIC in the sense that there is any direct evidence-based reason at all for trusting it.

However, an FPGA is not necessarily more tamper-resistant than an ASIC. If your adversary has full physical possession of your device and has no regard to leaving it intact, then they have a number of venues to attack both the FPGA and the ASIC.

What this statement implies is that a properly designed ASIC will generally raise the bar on how hard it is to extract secrets compared to an FPGA, assuming an adversary with direct physical access to the device and no regard to evidence of tampering with the device.

More importantly, however, the ASIC will be cheaper. That is really the main point of that statement.
It does. Anything that removes power from the demos makes it less of a democracy.

Zerologon: Instantly become domain admin (CVE-2020-1472)
It's nice that HN has finally moved beyond labeling Vitamin D's relevance to Covid a conspiracy theory.

North-North West is where they're trying to focus their efforts in tourism, and also building that new city, since everyone knows the Bedouins in Riyadh are rather cultureless historically compared to the the Hejaz. Hence it's a bit of both, new leadership focusing on previously ignored parts and also trying to build up a tourism industry (for a rather bland place historically, since all of the history in the area is concentrated in the Holy Cities which are not open to non-Muslims).
The criteria is simple. Does gerrymandering spread power to the people or does it concentrate it in the hands of the few? If the latter, then it makes for less of a democracy.
