That’s a very recent thing. I have a Q80R (last year’s model and one step down), and it came with two remotes: the app-centric Bluetooth one, and a “regular” one with numbers etc.

That’s lame!
Well, all nations act in their own interests, but it is generally possible to identify win-win outcomes and work together for mutual benefit. However, as the (former) spouse of a diplomat, I got the distinct impression that it was only really the Russians who were deliberately trying to screw things up for everyone else, just to cause mischief. I guess they are stuck in a mental rut where every situation is seen as win/lose, even when that's not the truth of the matter.

I didn't realize this was doable, thank you!!

Do you have a link or list for services to disable? I went through this list[0] for my S9 and at least I got rid of the Bixby button, the Samsung Share shortcuts, and a few other crapwares. Some Samsung junk still left though, and names are cryptic enough that I'm not sure what would or wouldn't break (for me, obviously depends on what you use).

> Oh, the things it won't do! It won't baste, mist, sense, probe, convect, or take your food for a horsy ride. It doesn't care to know if you're cooking pork or potatoes, or if something's thawed or frozen, solid or liquid, or 1 lb. or 5. It doesn't issue odd advice ("Stand and Cover"! "Pull Apart"!). You can't use it as a nightlight. It won't tell you the time. It won't match your decor. It won't even cook anything for more than 6 minutes at a time. There's nothing to choose, nothing to alter, nothing to select, nothing to enter. All it's got is a big, smooth 1950's style dial that does a backwards countdown, with an accompanying red light marking the time as it goes. A great appliance that hardly does anything at all. Highly recommend.

I see you're in love.

That’s looking at things a wee bit one-dimensional isn’t it?

Until this year Hacktoberfest has been a fun event where people of all levels of skill has learned how one can help out in open-source projects.

They have learned how to fork, make changes and propose that those changes get upstreamed. You may take these skills for granted, but they first needs to be learnt.

They have learnt what sort of reception to expect based on how they have presented their changes to the upstream repo and/or maintainers and how to adjust it based on a feedback and consensus. You may take this experience for granted, but it needs to come from somewhere.

In both these respects Hacktoberfest has helped.

Looking at entire Hacktoberfest and what it has done over all its years as simply a t-shirt because some Indian spammers tried to game the system for that single price this single year is absolutely not fair.

> They should have acknowledged their failure and cancelled the game altogether.

You should acknowledge that such confrontational attitude and vitriol won’t do the discussion any good.

You could come up with all kinds of constructive criticism here instead, but that might take some effort on your part. It will get you a more fruitful discussion though.

Sounds like it works great for you!

However, scale that out to 3000 pages with a bunch of dynamic features, with many other developers and authors. You might find it a bit harder to manage then.

Yes, that's true. At the same time the argument of "The Social Dilemma" is that at Facebook scale you just need a very small effect to influence the crowd in a way that matters. Paraphrasing the documentary (from memory): tuning human behaviours 1% in the direction you want, worldwide, is what Facebook sells and what their customers pay for.

I've just bought new xerox printer with wifi feature. No display, just couple of leds and buttons. After half an hour and numerous google searches I was able to use it over wifi, but only 2.4GHz. Spent another hour trying to set it up with 5GHz. Now it is connected via USB only and I am happy.
Having the same implementations on all layers seems like a reasonable approach. But I don't see how the choice of the framework helps getting pixel perfect matches especially between different browsers. It seems to me rather the right implementation counts. E.g. using canvas drawing would be one approach to guarantee pixel perfect matches. Also you could do then checksumming in test cases to ensure the images are always the same.

Hackers on a Plane – Highlights from DEF Con Safe Mode [video]
My dream would be to know enough to be able to reverse my favorite electronic device, a Casio Ex-Word dictionary. I uploaded some PCB pictures here: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/522340/unkno...

It's such an advanced piece of equipment, and I'm unable to find most of the components listed on it, plus the major processors are under epoxy blobs. I feel totally overwhelmed just looking at it and not knowing where to start.

I wish I could have an expert examine the device with me in real life and help me walk through it a bit; using random bits of online resources still leaves me feeling lost. I would love to have a resource that teaches elements of hardware hacking step-by-step by reverse engineering cheap electronics I can get my actual hands on, starting with simple and moving on to complex items.

If the target has halfway competent security response, you just say "Look at this obvious bug in your design" and they fix it. The first part of Troy's post makes it clear that Grindr did not have halfway competent security response.

When you're dealing with a target that doesn't have halfway competent security response the only option is to actually have an equivocal demo that there's a hole which means you need to break into somebody else's account.

Anything else they'll most likely gaslight you and their users. "No, there was no hole, Troy just accessed his own account, nothing to see, fake news".

Oh, my. Not a personal attack, for sure. Why?

It just seemed a bit obvious to me. If I post a review, with my account, I have been there, right? And if I post a lot of reviews month after month in a certain place, I probably live there, right? This has nothing to do about being tech savvy. It's not about IP geolocation or recognizing user locations from random photos.

I understand the OSINT part as well. But the tool claims to be able to extract some info that should not be public (device info, installed apps). But it cannot.
Apps used to mean appetizers, not applications.

Pitch Deck Teardown: Coinbase
Other ORMs separate building the query from executing the query, which is less ergonomic but more explicit. Drawing on Rust, https://diesel.rs/ shows how this approach would work:

users.select(count_star()).first(&connection)

which is really just a cleaned-up version of your suggestion.

Of course, you could imagine an ActiveRecord-like API to make this nicer:

User.first{|t| t.count}
User.first{|t| t.count}.execute!
User.execute{|t| t.count}.values.first
# ...etc.

but the underlying problem is that building the query and executing the query are two discrete steps, Rails streamlines them instead of making the separation obvious, and when a system hides complexity it becomes harder to know what it's really doing.
I'd also guess this played a part. Not just the heise publications, also many "lower-end" magazines with more popular reach were touting Mozilla Suite and then Firefox a lot to the professional and enthusiast crowd - who then put Firefox on their relatives etc PCs, so a large audience is familiar with it. Not sure other languages had such media that much?

Combine that with an attitude that's maybe not chasing trends that much if things work, maybe less advertising impact by Google (although they have the nudges in their products here too, but I feel like I see more in english spaces), and people stick to it longer?
I think the parent analogy is better. The land outside Apple and Google isn’t illegal to build on, just less desirable.
I think even if 99% of google users have strict privacy, this tool is still worth it for data brokers as they can run email lists of millions of users.

I want a smart TV so I can access Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+ etc. right from the TV and don't need a separate device for it.

Many people suggest buying a dumb tv and then an apple tv. The problem is, now I have two devices and instead of trusting [TV manufacturer] I have to trust Apple. I don't see a big gain in it and also don't consider Apple to be especially trustworthy. [TV manufacturer] should just sell me a smart tv without customer hostile "features".

Is there a better way to vote using ranking, 1,2,3, and rating, 0-5 ?

I cover

1. Condorcet

2. Approval

3. STAR and Score

4. Ranked Choice Voting (1)

5. Multi-winner Ranked Choice Voting, AKA The Single Transferable Vote.

6. Proportional Representation

7. Primaries

I wanted to give people a visualization tool to show working examples of elections. This is a visualization of the math of voting: casting and counting ballots. Voter's decision boundaries interact and create a visualization of where to find common ground. In particular, the introduction on "Common Ground" illustrates this well.

This is an improvement on Nicky Case's explorable explanation of voting methods. One major improvement I've made is to include real voter strategies. Jameson Quinn helped get these strategies going, and so he's a co-author on a few pages.

The most recent change I made was adding gifs for each example to demonstrate interesting ways voting works.

Enjoy.
I would disagree with your complexity assessment there. Hugo has so much inferred logic and "magic" that working out why your pages aren't showing correctly can take hours before you notice the silly mistake you made. You're just slapped in the face until it starts working.

Django is of course a lot bigger, with many more moving parts, but it's much more explicit, Nd the documentation is superb; you're running a lot quicker.

I've found Ungoogled Chromium very satisfying lately. https://github.com/Eloston/ungoogled-chromium
It’s kinda funny to see that go around in circles. “Pre-rendering content as requests come in” is exactly the same as having dynamic pages and a layer of caching, as had been standard practice for the last 20 years. Some people just really like to “solve” already solved problems.
For citizens of the EU, it would be useful to also include the contact address for requesting what data they already have on you. If I were going to spend effort on this, I'd rather report them to my local watchdog than play along with their game.

Goddamn. That's pretty bad.
I agree! Having more than one (or two, if we include WebKit - but Blink is a fork of it, so ...) relevant browser engines would be great. But as it stands right now, the fact that I can build apps that have all capabilities that the end user would expect (push notifications, background sync, "Add to homescreen", offline capabilities) in the most popular browser out there and the fact that the latter is FLOSS (Chromium - obviously Chrome is not) means that IMHO we are in a much better place than a few years ago when web dev meant JQuery and IE8 polyfills. And that shows - I can now use only a browser, independent of the host OS, to do all of my days work (using Theia/VSCode in the browser is a joy) and even entertainment (remember when a proprietary OS and a proprietary native app was required to stream video?) completely from a free/libre and open source software. If that means that I have to accept a libre browser monopoly for now than that's much better than having to accept a proprietary host OS IMHO.
They give different predictions for the same observed event so both can't be true. For example, since there is no gravity in the standard model (the general QM-model encompassing everything but gravity) and gravity obviously is observed, the theories are fundamentally incompatible.

It would be a different situations if the theories actually covered different domains of experiments, but neither define such a restriction (and it wouldn't make much sense to either of them).
> How is "you are the product" incorrect?

I think the point is not that this statement is incorrect, but rather that it doesn’t accurately convey the severity of the situation. More accurate would be: “manipulation of their audience is their product”.

> That said, I'm not sure this year can be salvaged. It's not clear whether all the existing spammers will get the message.

I think the biggest problem DO will have to address somehow is that Hacktoberfest now has become such a big event that they are getting attendees which they strictly speaking do not want to have, and the liberal “everything is open for everyone”-approach is now too open for the “game” to work.

Finding a way to encourage (new) people to contribute to open-source projects while at the same time keeping the bad people out (opportunists, spammers, etc) is not going to be easy. Locking things down (like only opt-in repos count) will severely limit genuine contributions way beyond just spam.

Whatever they end up doing, I suspect we will see Hacktoberfest 2019 as peak Hacktoberfest and from now on the event will be a mere shadow of what it used to be.
Another big factor, I think is communication. Today, discoveries spread almost instantly, all over the world. But back then you had hard to copy manuscript and people had to meet in person using slow and dangerous transportation.

So I think ancient discoverers wasted a lot of time rediscovering things.
Yeah, I wouldn’t quote this page as evidence for anything either.

And I don’t know who are the “we” trying to eliminate caste oppression. Some claiming to do so are clearly demagogues using it to divide people and seize control. Like communists claiming to speak for the working class when in fact they just want all the power for themselves.

The existing laws don’t eliminate caste, instead they make some of them more desirable.

I did say "mildly" offensive. There's lots of screenshots of the Grindr profile grid posted online. I'd be surprised if you could find one including a profile photo that looks much like this one.

But really the point isn't that no gay man has ever posed for a photo like this. (I'm sure some straight men have too.) The point is that the photo is used to make a joke about how ridiculous Scott would look if he was gay. He couldn't just have a normal dating profile photo.
Open source authors are annoyed, in descending order, by:

1) False bug reports, reporter has an attitude.

2) Minor bugs, reporter has an attitude.

3) Major bugs, reporter has an attitude.

4) Unresearched bugs.

It all depends on how you report it. The current opinion, largely [1] pushed by people who do little programming but take over OSS projects, that bug reporters are oppressed by the bad, bad high performing developers is misguided.

It leads to the same dynamics as Mao's cultural revolution, which was not really a success.

Once you have critical mass, failure is next to impossible, slow and even preventable. Microsoft has been dominating desktop computing since 1981 through MS DOS and 1991 through Windows (almost 40 years!). Android and iOS will probably be around for 50 years, even if they become just another layer. We still have radio, TV, heck, even the post and vinyl.
