Yep. Practically, I learned to program mostly by reading BASIC listings back around 1990-1992 and would have time on my parents' computer in the afternoon/evening to try and type things up. A lot of my code was hypothetical (never executed).

In college at GT circa 2000, this was how the first CS course was also taught (with a pseudocode language). I liked it, I learned the ins and outs of data structures and algorithms (though not a specific language), but most student hated it. I've periodically handwritten substantial (but not huge, think 1-5k lines) amounts of code to good effect. Usually, when typed in the errors were mostly transcription errors. Of course, I also elided large repetitive sections and developed a shorthand (like I'd use indentation rather than noting every curly brace, used min..max notation, etc.).

I originally learned Haskell with this approach (I came across the notebook I'd used while preparing for my move earlier this year) as well, but that language is particularly well-suited to being handwritten compared to many other languages (it's brief, but not imprecise, and promotes algebraic reasoning).
I usually test my POSIX scripts in an Alpine docker container. It has busybox by default, which only have a few flags and mostly short ones.
Yes - this is the directors’ fault. As a director you have n obligation to ensure everything is ok, and for issues of this magnitude it’s clear that the directors were bamboozled.
at our firm we insist on access to the financial system (e.g. Xero) whenever we have a directorship. It’s hard to fake results, at least to this level, when we can see down to the level of individual invoices.
Try this: Put on your winter gloves, climb in the the shower, turn the water on ice cold, and see how well you are able to operate your iPad.

At least with paper maps and a #2 pencil, you have a fighting chance in those conditions.
If you hacked with the intention of harming/killing persons then it sure is violent act as the intent matters. Obviously in that particular case hackers did not really want to physically harm.
I never said that wasn't the case. That doesn't mean anyone else's attitude is the cause of problems caused by your own choices.

Fun thought experiment: are there businesses where this structure is beneficial, or is it always a red flag?
It's the waters around Taiwan and maritime rights. If Taiwan is independent, then the US could set up a naval base there, and Taiwan is only 110 mi away from the U.S. Proximity is the reason why the US embargoed Cuba, and why the Cuban missile crisis was a crisis.
Most political actions are driven by the desire of individuals in the ruling group (selectorate) to stay in power; in the case of groups like the CPC, this involves a continuous competition to prove loyalty and ideological purity. One of the tenets of CPC orthodoxy is that Taiwan and Tibet are parts of China, thus all members must continually voice a desire to 'unify' the country.

It doesn't make any economic or political sense, but saying that out loud would brand you 'reactionary' or a 'counter-revolutionary' in China.
couldn't you just figure out where you align by reading the job description. Ultimately front end and back end have different skill sets.
I hope they find the accountable party and bring them to justice, but also: sysadmins, consider air-gapping your critical care and patient accounting machines (at least some of them). External ransomware threats shouldn't be able to reach the machines that schedule patient care.
TikTok is nothing... Donald Trump has the unilateral authority to launch a nuclear strike on any target at any time. Put that in your pipe and smoke it.
I go through and explicitly disable notifications for almost every app. I don't really need to be interrupted to find out someone liked a photo, or that there's something in the news, or that it's raining, or that some new shit shipped from eBay. So even if I do check my phone, I pretty much only have (and then only silent) notifications for messengers. My wife and close friends know that if they need to get me immediately that they can send me a real SMS.

When I got a new phone about 6 months ago, I spent about a week horrified by the number of notifications that I was getting by default.
If we lived in a world where drive-by arson was a common pastime, we'd blame hospital operators for building hospitals that aren't really hard to set on fire.
Everyone blaming the hospital for mismanaged IT is missing a couple things:

1) Hospitals are usually swiss cheese in terms of vulnerabilities because patient safety overrules most security issues. It’s very difficult to patch in time

2) Hospitals tend to have a tricky network and asset profile with security staff potentially inheriting decades of unmapped custom IT

3) Theyre usually underresourced and overworked
Now that's going to mess up their goal difference!
I'm glad that all players turned out to be fine in the end.
But it applies to all of the fintech sector right? You cannot start or operate a fintech without religious permission? And by extension, forcing customers to buy products they don't actually want (sharia when they want non sharia).
The Pi4 can do 300-350mbps, which is faster than most people's internet connection.
I don't know what kind of modern luxury you live in, but the hobo arc lamp version is what my family and friends of the family had, and it's the primary illustration on Russian Wikipedia.
A huge annoyance for me personally: stored passwords are no longer applied to HTTP basic auth.
I would attribute this to both,

- (unquestionable) the attackers but as well as

- the IT-department that did not fix serious vulnerabilities (of an apparently mission critical system)

We have that in all kinds of places: If you neglect your duties on maintenance or diligence in areas where humans could be harmed (electrical installations, fire safety, construction, whatsoever), you are liable for whatever happens. I don't see why IT should be somewhat special.
The Citrix patch came out half a year(?) in advance.
RDR2 has an online mode with micro transactions. They'll be aiming to milk it for years like they have with GTA5.
Linking a few of your own tweets to youtube videos is not very enlightening. Do you have an actual sourced article stating that the CCP is illegally accessing user data?
Furthermore, right now there the open alternatives for Broadcomm's chips just aren't nearly as good (at this price-performance point). They made a compromise.
New hot take: I'm addicted to my laptop. The phone barely registers in terms of interest because I work on my laptop anyway, which is less cumbersome to navigate.

Notwithstanding the need to separate work from leisure life, much of leisure is just attached to this device. Even the less consumptive activities, like writing or playing music, benefit from it. And anything to do with innovation or research is absolutely tied to it. This has been amplified somewhat owing to the pandemic, keeping me from activities out-in-the-world, but even before it all happened I merely had the gym and the odd outing to the coffee shop on the regular, and weekly/bi-weekly outings with friends.

It's a mechanical issue. By which I mean, I enjoy research at leisure and relatively solitary activities, but at the same time I want to pull away from being in front of a screen; it hasn't to do with consumption versus creativity or challenge. I try to remedy this with scheduled walks, and enough social time. Historically I imagine a person like myself would just be stuck in front of books instead, which I do also, but so much info can be gleaned from the web particularly research papers.

EDIT: this concerns me more-so now as we'll be trying for a kid, and I'd like to lead by example.

What I'd like to see in the future is AR tech that rewards mobility and in-person interaction, creating collaborative spaces anywhere. That may seem like more of the same problem, but the marriage with technology will only deepen, so it's up to us to set the terms.
Attacking systems that result in people getting killed is a great way to attract entirely more attention than I think these sorts of criminals want.

At best, they might trigger the creation of laws that prohibit paying ransom to take away the incentives. At worst, they might get themselves tagged as terrorists and end up on the pointy side of a fairly urestricted use of attack drones by the US.
Good point.

Preventing network intrusion seems pretty critical to protect PII.
Something I realized recently is that I'm not addicted to social media or any apps in particular, but I am addicted to my phone. I managed to give up pretty much all social media, save for an occasional peek at reddit and this site, but still take out my phone about as often as I did before. Mostly I just check the news for the umpteenth time in a day. My current plan is to keep using my phone, but switch to using it for more productive things. For example, I started using Anki for memorization and I use a bunch of music theory/sight-reading apps.
> I get a message on the little internet on my wrist, so I get the big internet out of my pocket to read it?

“No Wireless. Less Space than the Nomad. Lame”.

In the pre-Covid days. I loved being able to take my cellular Apple Watch to the gym and leave my phone in the car. I could listen to music and podcasts check my heart rate, make and receive calls and messages. I would swim with it. Run with it, etc. and leave my phone at home.

You could tap quick - yes/no replies or if someone asks you do you want $X or $Y, it will give you those two choices as quick replies. You can also dictate replies. I find my phone unusable when I’m working out. I sweat like a pig in heat. Any sensitive capacitive touch display is unusable.

Even now, I use my Watch as a remote for my AppleTV while I’m working out in my home gym.

That’s not even to mention in December with Apple Fitness, the on screen workouts will be able to automatically activate the appropriate workout on the watch and granularly record and show your stats.

My wife would often leave her phone in the car when she was out and about.

As far as the phone. Even in 2007, there were already 1 billion phones being sold a year. Jobs said he wanted the iPhone to capture 1% - 10 million during the first year.

Now there are close to 5 billion phones being sold a year. There isn’t really any conceivable way that anything will have the ubiquity of the smart phone market at 90%+ penetration in the developed world and even 70%+ in the developing world. What we call a “phone” may change. But the smart phone market is a once in a lifetime opportunity.

But we also have objective measures.

1. Did Apple create a new successful product line - success measured by revenue?

As I said before, the revenue is higher than the iPods and will have a longer product life cycle.

2. We can also judge it technically. The Apple Watch has the fastest processor in the industry for a device its size, it has an always on display, heart rate monitor, GPS, cellular, WiFi, Bluetooth, U1 chip, ECG, altimeter, 16GB of RAM - o your wrist.

So in short, when plugging in CCTV cameras, avoid wifi and instead keep them on wired ethernet physically and logically segregated from anything that matters. This should already be standard practice.

Clearly, the cause is just shitty firmware from vendors.

Vendors are just small factory owners who decide to tool up to fabricate 1000s of simple reference design based products by assembling PCBs, cables and plastic enclosures, possibly in cardboard boxes with manuals, and then ship them at cut rates as quickly as possible to as many ends of the earth as will accept them.

For vendors, firmware security is low on the priorities list. Their fixed costs, tooling costs, design rebadging overhead and the open reference designs from silicon vendors mean that with minimal value add they will have to produce a vast number of each design very quickly and cheaply in order to have any chance of obtaining a profit in a market essentially guaranteed to have numerous competitors.

This misaligned incentive situation will remain the status quo so long as the majority of the market (which is Chinese, not foreign) doesn't practically care about anything other than cost.

It is not some evil state conspiracy.

If you think there is a market for open source high transparency devices with closed source silicon and driver isolation as a top level design priority, then by all means do a startup.
isn't median wage for a nurse somewhere around $35/hr? this is around the 75th percentile for income in the US, assuming they work forty hours a week.

We might change our minds if fires could be started remotely by someone halfway around the world who doesn't even know the hospital exists.

In that case, the active threat begins to look more like a random-chance natural disaster than the kind of event the human justice system can bring to heel. By all means use the justice system, but if the justice system is failing? Plan for fire.

(Seems like there's a lesson to be applied here to architecture in California, now that I think about it...)
Two play music, one into my hifi, one into my home audio distribution system.

One is setup for RetroPie. One has LibreELEC installed, showing TV from my HDHomeRun. One has a GPS hat and is a local NTP server.

And one boots into an Amiga emulator because I'm very old and nostalgic.
If you're thinking of going into a K-12 ed-tech company, the first thing you should know is this: School districts are BROKE. They do not have the money to pay even nominal fees for technology services and it doesn't matter what market you're in.
I think you are right, for all "exotic" tools, long flags are much better and future proof. For regular tools, short flags are so common that they are probably ok.

Yes, TFTP for the boot rom, and then NFS for the root fs.

I don't use docker or any other kind of container system because it's so easy to just reboot a Pi into a new OS on demand. Everything runs natively.

I’m pretty sure that’s only a convincing argument to a very small market segment.

And I say that as someone who has bought a PinePhone.

PS has another reason to use full names of parameters in long-lived scripts. If you use short names like `-Ver` expecting it to match `-Verbose`, a future version of the commandlet can add `-Version` and now `-Ver` is ambiguous.

On the other hand, I've seen some people eschew `%` and `?` in favor of writing `ForEach-Object` and `Where-Object`, which in my opinion is too extreme in the other direction.

BTW, in:

if (-not $(Test-Path -Path "$Path" -PathType Container)) {

... you don't need the `$`, and if $Path is already a string you don't need the `""` either.
You're assuming the long version is more well known than the short version. That's a wildly and provably false assumption.

Do you know, without referring to the manpage, exactly what `cp --no-dereference --preserve=links --recursive --preserve=all` does? I don't. I can take some guesses based on the names of the options, but those guesses could very easily miss an important corner case.

Do you know what `cp -a` does? I do.
If Elon is serious about building a self sustaining colony on Mars, this stuff will be critical. Mining, refining, and manufacturing will all be critical, as will growing food and producing air and water. Finding a minimal technology tree for that is IMHO an extremely interesting problem.

Quick, what is the only machine tool that can copy itself?

It just isn't very good yet.
This seems dumb on the part of the bank. Unless terrorists are really, really stupid, classifying the first name "Isis" as "terrorist" is bound to have a 100% false positive rate.
The limit is quantum dots, and that doesn't afford very many more doublings.
I would insists on differentiating Rus and Russia.
Rus was not the Russian state. If you want to associate it with any modern nation, then it would be Ukrainian.
But really, it was Rus.

P.S.
Just like ancient Roman state was not Italian state or Romanian state.
Personally, it's a bit like if I purchased a Mercedes but found that I could only drive it on certain pre-approved roads, subject to varying partnerships and licensing agreements. Someone telling me, "you can just buy a scooter" seems predicated on the assertion that they both belong in the same category of "means of transportation," but ignores the fact that they operate very differently in several ways. It also ignores the fact that I've paid for the Mercedes (and possibly invested time and money into skills and tools to repair it), and can't necessarily recoup those costs.

Fundamentally, it ignores whether freedom of movement should be infringed in such a way. One can currently sideload an APK on Android, but what's stopping Google from taking the same hard line as Apple?

Note: I am using the hyperbolic analogy above for rhetorical reasons; I don't think Android phones are perfectly analogous to a scooter. We use Android at work precisely because of Apple's lockdowns, and while I actually like the OS well enough I think I would find it frustrating on a personal phone.
That's a funny way of saying "smartphones are distracting"..
This is the 3rd article on this blog I've read recently from beginning to end, and thoroughly enjoyed.

I also just subscribed to his Patreon - it's worth supporting this quality of work.
Society will praise your virtuous stance for its anti-rape sentiments, but your views are equally or perhaps more arbitrary than his Judeo-Christian view. Note that saying a spouse has a "moral obligation" is different than saying the other spouse has the right to demand and force the fulfillment of the obligation.

I mean, it makes sense too. When my girl wants good D, I'm (morally) obliged to give it to her. That's part of the premise of a sexual relationship. I'm not going to deprive her of something that she relies on me for- after all, by virtue of our establishment of monogamous mutual exclusivity, she has to come to me for the fulfillment of that primal desire. She could go get the D from any guy she wants. I have good D, and she knows she can rely on me not to deprive her (and I mean truly deprive, not just playing hard-to-get-i-know-you-want-this deprive). The same goes for her. There is a metaphorical refusal to take no for an answer that comes with a healthy sexual monogamous relationship.

Half Life: Alyx is a fantastic AAA game that in no way feels like a proof of concept. Strongly recommend playing it. (Beat Saber too)
Yes. It doesn't matter why the dragon is slain. The damsel in distress is saved regardless.
How do people manage without insurance in the USA (I worked on work & travel for 7 months total without any insurance. Holly 20s :)
Maybe take both for a brief spin, but my vote would be for svelte. I used vue2 about the same timeframe as you (stumbled upon it while trying to find alternatives to React or whatever) and really liked it a lot.

About a year ago I had to tackle a few new web projects so I decided to give React/Angular/etc another look... and promptly went hunting for alternatives again, and that's how I found svelte. We've got 5-6 svelte-based projects in production now and have really, really enjoyed it.

All that said, I haven't looked at vue3 in depth yet, so maybe it's amazing, I dunno. :)
Nowadays decent hiking maps are made of Tyvek or a similar material so they're waterproof.
A water resistant device works too but not as well when there are raindrops on it. I guess the moisture messes with the capacitive screen, the device can also stop working at a really incovenient time. That can't really happen with a regular map.
Because if only University computers had been affected nobody would have died.

If this was just some ransomware attack it would be barely newsworthy, and we sure wouldn't be discussing it. The death is what makes it interesting. And in this context it is important that the hospital wasn't even the intended target but was caught in the crossfire.

That doesn't justify anything, but I think we can all agree that extortion is a less severe crime than murder.
Just like many addictions, just because you know the negative side-effects doesn't mean you are willing to give up the activity. Plenty of people know how bad fast food or smoking can be, but the trade off of feeling good while doing it is too good to pass up.

A lot of times I find myself picking up the phone to message one person, but I end up on a 15 minute journey scrolling through whatever social media I am on and almost forget my initial intention. Disciple is obviously a big factor here.

I think this can be managed without totally getting rid of your smartphone. Like the saying goes: "out of sight, out of mind". Everyone's mileage will vary though, just my 2c
Netboot instructions are here:
https://www.raspberrypi.org/documentation/hardware/raspberry...

The important bit is that it will look for its boot files in a subdirectory named the serial number of the Pi. Only if that fails will it look in the root.

So I have symlinks for the serial numbers of all my Pis that point to whatever OS I want to boot.
The vaccine is to the toxin produced by the bacteria, not to the bacteria itself; supposedly, by the time the body manages to kill the bacteria (even if already recognized by the immune system), there is too much toxin in the system.

It is administered, and is likely working, but never went through the rigorous testing we now do for vaccines; furthermore, after it was introduced, tetanus incidence decreased considerably also in places that did not use a vaccine. The history of the tetanus vaccine is not what I expected when I started looking at it.
The US doesn't drone Russia; too much Cold War history there.

Same here. I've been addicted to my laptop for years, and can go days without looking at my phone. For the same reason: everything is on my laptop. Work, movies, books, chats with friends, my podcast, research, etc. And I have the same remedies, too: schedule things to just get myself out of the house.

I wonder how much that machine cost...
Are you sure they were audited? I havent seen that in the material released so far, only that an auditor was engaged for due diligence, which was fairly cursory, not anywhere near an actual audit. Typically an audit would involve a direct verification of bank balances from the bank. In addition, an audit would typically directly verify customer contracts and make sure big deposits tied out to contracts and invoices. An audit would also have flagged the lack of segregation of duties as a major risk factor (though that should have been obvious to any board member). As a side note, I also wonder if Rogas was fastidious enough to ensure the GAAP financial statements all tied out with the fraudulent numbers.

I guess if an audit couldn't catch this, you have the wrong auditor. This is exactly what audits are for.
