Jisss to be honest the new PlayStation and Xbox hardware is amazing, specificially how the memory/cpu/mobo and streaming system will work. Wish we had something like that in PC land. Then again, their workflow is basically streaming data from disk, thus this round they optimized that hell out of that chunk of the pipeline.

Hopefully AMD learn lessons from that sphere and can bring some of that to our sphere.
> What happens when you lose or brake your security key, is your PC locked forever, or it will stay that way until they send you replacement?

You register two security keys (which both have a separate private key) and keep one of them somewhere safe. Then if your main one breaks you switch to key 2 to login and register key 3 as your new backup key.
This is done for e.g. Google's advanced protection program [1]

> I had a chat with a spokesman from a bank they had similar technology for a credit card, basically what he said is that key factor is time

Yeah, that sounds about right for a bank which will have a much different threat model than a login for a website or my computer.

> But if they can send you replacement, that means that "the company" (read government services) have sort off master key for your PC (they have fingerprint database)

They very likely can't. These devices essentially generate a private key that is never able to leave the security key without major hardware attacks. The fingerprint is also just stored on the device to be able to unlock this secret key. It is never transmitted to the computer or anywhere else and it also isn't used to create the private key.

Essentially this key implements WebAuthn [2] (and similar technologies) and only allows access to the secret key after the fingerprint has been verified.

There could of course be backdoors in the key generation algorithm (think dual ec drbg). Once your threat model includes actors capable of backdooring modern encryption hardware and algorithms they probably have much easier ways of getting to your data though.

ICoinTime｜Bitcoin Surge of This Time: A New Start of Bull Run or Not?
It's frustrating and unproductive to see an intelligent comment immediately down-voted, presumably demonstrating the truth of the kneejerk vitriol claim.

The comment (and others here pressing for a more nuanced or possibly even contra-feminist perspective) may be wrong but counterpoints would be more useful in challenging them than a quick fade to grey which indicates (when repeated over several different contributors) that perhaps there is some significant - if unpopular - thread to be further investigated by the independently minded.
The appeal to me, when Go first appeared, it seemed that it would be what .NET 1.0 or Java 1.0 should have been all along, regarding AOT compilation support (.NET had it via NGEN but MS was never serious about evolving it), while at the same time having a modern language.

Sadly I was proven wrong about the second part, and it has followed the path of doubling down on Java 1.0, including the grow warts that Java has gotten in 25 years. Here Go has learned nothing from its predecessors.

With the success of the container ecosystem based on Go written tooling, means that at some point using it in some fashion becomes unavoidable, even if your main tools happen to be something else.
No it's not an odd choice. It doesn't have to be to be better or more efficient now. It's meant to be one step toward a future where we're not burning fossil fuels.
Like a lot of commentors I think that sortition could be a useful part of the democratic process. However I think it's better as a component than the whole thing, which is also shown in the Doge election.

It's worth remembering that voting is already only the last step of a process:

1 Candidates self-select

2 party selection panel (or primary election)

3 election

In my opinion a good process would be:

1 voters form into groups of 100-200 (the range is so that a group that's too large can just split)

2 each group elects one of their number

3 sortition among these

This preserves most of sortitions resistance to cliques and elite capture, but still gives a decent chance of selecting people in the top 5% by whatever metric the voters prefer, and allows them to learn (let's not select someone like that next time)

There is no way to know what percentage an announcement will move a stock. Additionally, given that executives schedule stock sales all year long (most of their comp is stock), that effectively means no announcements can ever be made.
Indeed. Modern society got rid of dueling to resolve disputes way before women were even allowed to vote. There is a trend that favours a more civil society and it has ties to the increased productivity of such a society as opposed to the increased effeminacy. In such a society eventually proved to offer more opportunities for women and this in turn improved the productivity of the whole society. So perhaps we're confusing cause and effect?
A bit of an update to my point above, it does feel a bit like Pascal to me, but kind of missing some of Pascal's nice stuff...

My pet theory to the popularity is that it feels satisfying to just churn out many lines of code and in Go it seems you do that instead of using abstractions or "magic" as in many other languages. So Yeah, I expect popularity to drop as more "legacy" code bases need to be picked up by devs ...

Because liberals aren't evil, and it's so much easier to win elections if you're prepared to tell outright lies and manipulate voters on tribal lines.

Like this:

https://www.timeout.com/newyork/news/a-massive-mural-featuri...

Even though Clinton and Obama weren't saints - and I have limited respect for both of them - you are going to have a really hard time finding behaviour on that scale on the liberal side.

You're also going to find much less evidence of either threatened or actual violence.

Even BLM at its worst has never come close to the appalling record of right-wing violence in the US over the last couple of decades.

https://www.economist.com/graphic-detail/2020/10/27/in-ameri...

So that's why liberals "lose" - we're far less likely to feel comfortable with lying, cheating, bullying, violence, and intimidation. And for a substantial percentage of right-wing supporters those seem to be considered admirable moral features, not bugs.

Disagree? Provide evidence of general trends, not specifics.

> "Women will never support men, it's simply not in their nature. Speak to any woman and they're not even aware of men below them in society and disgusted by more than half of men."

This seems like a hugely generalized characterization. Without broad supporting evidence it is more likely this is a reflection of your personal perception of women then an accurate characterization of women as a whole.
I didn't, hence the OP said "put options on Zoom" - that would mean he would make money from Zoom diving (which it did).

> The people who complain about the touchbar functionality must not be putting any effort at all into it.

I would say that people who complain about uselessness of F-keys must not have put any at all effort into using them.

Upon getting my MBP 2016, I spent numerous months trying to make the TouchBar useful; from customizing the contents where apps allowed it, to BTT.

What it came down to is that things worthy a keyboard shortcut are things I want to be able to do fast, reliably, and instinctively. I don't want to search for the button on the TouchBar – I'm using the keyboard, it needs to be as natural as typing, without the need to look down at it. I have a screen already, I don't need another one on my keyboard.

I firmly believe TouchBar can't even come close to the same realm of usefulness as F-keys, much less being worth the price hike it imposes. Function keys are twelve, tactile, solid, free, reliable(1) buttons for keyboard shortcuts; TouchBar is a touchscreen that sometimes(2) works.

> a button to "toggle mic in zoom" actually solves a real problem

I haven't used Zoom, but if it's a decent-ish Mac app, it either already has a keyboard shortcut to toggle microphone, or you can set one in Keyboard Shortcuts, in System Preferences.

(1) as far as anything is reliable on the butterfly keyboards.

(2) same story as butterfly keyboard – if it's even slightly sporadic, it is a shitty input device.

I don't understand how Apple missed the boat so completely on haptic feedback for touchbar, considering their mastery of it on trackpads and touch screens.

I use this app alongside BTT; it attempts to supplement haptic feedback via the trackpad haptics. It's no where near as good as a real haptic solution would be but does provide some tactile feedback when pressing buttons

That’s not the bet. Pfizer is irrelevant because he can’t bet on Pfizer’s stock. He just needs to pick stocks in an industry killed by covid. That’s not hard.

It is fascinating, because I remember conservative objections to feminization of schools being that women are too soft and wont be able to demand enough discipline. Which turned into women are too strict in demanding discipline.

I am inclined to agree with proposals to give kids more space for running around and generally using their energy. But then again, the test obseesed system which sees free time for kids as "wasting time" and "being just childcare" is enforced by politicians rather then something that school teachers themselves wanted.
Hah! This brings me back to my teen years when we would bike over the border (NL->BE) to get fireworks in Liège. Those people sold everything that was illegal in the Netherlands and sold it all to us kids, too.

We would cut them open and use the powders to create larger and strung together bombs to blow up everything we could find from post boxes to old TVs to some cabinets we found on the streets.

Some off duty fireman found us and forced us to tell him were we lived. I can still feel his hand pinching on my ear as he dragged me back home to my parents.

You can now write very short functions in C#:

int Factorial(int n) => n is <= 1 ? 1 : n * factorial(n -1);
You can use "apt-cache policy", for example. This way you can see the current installed version of a package in your system, and also if there's a newer version you can install (the candidate).

$ apt-cache policy accountsservice
accountsservice:
Installed: 0.6.40-2ubuntu11.6
Candidate: 0.6.40-2ubuntu11.6

If the installed version reported by the utility is the version that Ubuntu states the problem has been fixed for your release, then presumably your system is safe (for this bug).
It's very disappointing to see someone who seems authoritative spreading the myth that the GIL prevents you from using threads to achieve concurrency.

It didn't work with his toy example, calling the Fibonacci function, because it's pure Python. Typically, if you have pure CPU-bound processing like this then you wouldn't want to use pure Python anyway as it would be too slow. You'd either using C extension library like numpy, scipy or pytorch, or (more rarely) write the code yourself in Cython. In either case the GIL is released whenever you make a call into them (you have to do it manually in Cython but it's straightforward). If his example had been multiplying matrices together with np.dot then threads wouldn't have been a problem.

The GIL is also released whenever you do I/O like reading data from a socket or reading from a file. This includes libraries that do this for you, such as those reading from a database (whether a remote DBMS like Postgres or a file-based one like SQLite).

Taken together, these cover 99% of cases where you want concurrency. In that 1% where the GIL is not released, fixing that pure Python computation code is often worth doing before adding concurrency anyway.
Is my SaaS idea viable
Hi guys,

i'm seeking your knowledge, i've arrived in a new country where i have no friends at the moment, so it's tough to brainstorm ideas.

My SAAS idea is behind setting goals and sticking to it.

As everyone know, setting goals and commiting to it is very hard if you don't have the mindset. Even if you write it down, put everything in a calendar, it require commitment.

So, to 'force' you to do so, my idea is having someone else who have goals too, and each week they schedule a meeting either in person around a coffee, or video call or simple phone call, and list goals that needs to be done for the next week(or 2 weeks or 1 month).

Each week, each person list the goals and if they've done their homeworks. if someone don't finish they will feel miserable and

So the idea is this:
- Find a person in a relatively similar life position as you
- Schedule a meeting with them every week (or every 2 weeks, or month)
- Define a list of goals for yourself
- Communicate them to your new friend (they'll do the same to you)
- Write them down
- Have them all done by the time you meet again
- Rinse/repeat

Just the accountability aspect alone is enough to get things done.

Also, it helps to sit down for short time and actually think about what you want to accomplish short-term.

One of the biggest benefits of this exercise is establishing a stronger relationship with your new friend.

So what do you think guys?

Ah. Nvm I'm another blind guy who didn't see you said puts on zoom.
NixOS, my friend. NixOS.

I still can't believe it's not more widely used (and I only started using linux full-time earlier this year). It confines the entire (non-user) filetree into the read-only /nix directory, and manages every single component of the OS through Nix, the package manager - and I guess nix-daemon in the case of NixOS specifically - 100% declaratively. You define the entire thing through a single configuration.nix file.

You can even do crazy stuff like erasing the root upon each reboot, leaving only /nix and /home if you wanted, and I think I remember in the article I was reading about it that it can mount everything on a tmpfs or something like that, so you have a perfectly "clean" root tree every time you restart the computer (as /nix is stateless, it's guaranteed not to change except when rebuilding the system configuration).

The point of nixos is really the declarative aspect, with "splitting" the OS being more of a secondary benefit, but for your case, you might like the whole declarative builds thing in general to accomplish that.
Sorry but... what is this?

I read (very quickly) the paper, then the article.

First of all, all the new names for things that are basically shards are not helping. Then all of this is very domain limited to logs, with only append and truncate.

Yes, you can build dbs on append-only, and well, good for logs, but the title read like more on the lines of playing against raft. The abstract pointed out it's a db.

Is this mainly about consensus? Probably not, I don't see any reference or benchmarks with raft in the middle. Barely any about Zookeper, which is not known to be really cutting edge. It's 10X the speed of... what they had before. which is? Besides, this is about a database build on rocksdb, did we manage to reduce comparison between databases to "10x than something else"?

So you have "conventional shared log api", and each shard can implement things in its own way. Good idea, but apparently the API is too conventional to discuss it, but novel enough to have a paper about it?

So I guess this is one of those frustrating things where you have to learn a whole distributed system to understand some new algorithm or abstraction.

I'm not saying this does not have merit, I'm sure it has, and I'll be happier when I understand it. I'm just pointing out that (at least to me) this is really frustrating to read.

It's a distributed database built on sharded append/truncate logs. They managed to abstract some operations to test new algorithms and implementations. The title makes it looks like all of this is about consensus, which (to me) it looks like only a small part. There is no benchmark except against older versions of itself, with only one "10x" measure. The database is not open source.

I've had one of the very first Yubikeys on my keychain for about 10 years now, which is a very rough place to be, and it still works fine.
If I had known about the Pfizer announcement beforehand? Yeah, I would have.
I'm afraid I am still unable to see where you have been able to make the connection in a satisfactory manner. I do concede that you have found something which says the definition is not the same for everyone. Otherwise the definition you listed in quotes is about intentional use of force. The other definition is specifically called "psychological violence" in the part you quoted. There too, I have on complaint and no disagreement. That, however, is not the same as "violence". To be able to communicate the concept you had in mind, without conflating the two, that part you quoted specifically adds the qualifier "psychological". With that qualifier, I think it's just easier to communicate and we probably wouldn't even be having this long exchange.

You will be surprised to find out who is killing all those murdered men.

It did not occur to me until now that instead of timing their sales to announcements, senior execs could time announcements to their scheduled stock sales. Brilliant, in a way - a legal form of insider trading. In the meantime the lowly peons are often subject to "trading windows", and have no control over any material announcements. A bit of a disadvantage.
I highly suggest reading up on the history of Venice, it's such an informative topic for me in studying history. For example, the War of the Legue of Cambrai is one of the most fascinating and illuminating wars that no one really knows about... a world war before the first world war. The origins of diplomacy (and espionage) there along with the banking and monetery systems alone are worth the study!
