This will crash, because 'b' will be uninitialized and pointing at some random memory spot.

A conventional and working form of the same is

struct foo { int a; char b[1]; }
struct foo * p = malloc(sizeof (struct foo) + 99);
p->b[50] = 'x';

or, if the compiler allows it,

struct foo { int a; char b[0]; }
struct foo * p = malloc(sizeof (struct foo) + 100);
p->b[50] = 'x';
All code is full of vulnerabilites. If you say your code isn't, then I'm sure it is. I just do the best I can to keep the error rate as low as possible. But it's a rate, and it's never zero.

Also, it's not just about vulns in security-critical code. It's also about ordinary bugs. Why not be a little more careful? It won't hurt.

> It might get unzeroed if you work with the memory.

Maybe, but it isn't very common. I'm not sure when the C standard allows changing padding bytes, but in practice the compilers I've used don't seem to do it. And again, it's just a debugging aid, if it causes too much trouble on some platform, just turn it off.
I love the going-over-the-peak-of-a-rollercoaster feeling of these essays on the topic of whether and how America is tilting toward fascism. They start by discussing disinformation, authoritarianism, the perverse prioritization of loyalty above all else, marching in lockstep, and then... are they going to say that the problem is the guys marching in the street with swastikas saying “we are Nazis?” Or are the real Nazis the ones promoting “transgressive sexuality”?
Technically yes, we're abstracting away complexity and as always, this comes with a price and has the potential to fall on your toes down the road ;)
In my eyes the available core components get you quite far already, and then, once you hit a certain threshold, it's "just" Vue.js and a therefore - in our eyes - a managable and approachable additional effort given you have some experience in JS (it's not like we make you buy into a whole new paradigm/programming language/an outdated framework)
> Imagine every object having unique ID with infinity of digits.

And then, as I said, there will be an infinite number of possible combinations of other masses that will add to that mass. The fact that we can't verify that experimentally is irrelevant; your model allows it and that means that, in your model, the unique ID of a given black hole's mass would not uniquely identify the original pieces of matter that formed it, and therefore would not provide the information that you originally claimed it could provide, in the post of yours that started this subthread.
That was your modem negotiating the protocol and speed with the remote modem, not proper data. Still, if your mother happened to use the phone line while you were connected, she would heard the actual data on the line, just before the connection broke. Oh, the times.

IMO the purpose of free (political) speech is to prevent the people you are speaking from throwing you in jail for speaking about them. I could go into the various details of why I think moderation on internet platforms does not cause the same concerns, but you can probably fill in the blanks. If you can't, let me know and I can write a longer comment.

i also built off the original opensnitch[1]. libnetfilterqueue is really great.

i used bpftrace instead of ftrace to get the process metadata, but eventually removed it after frustration building bpftrace.

currently it is a global inbound/outbound firewall with ui prompts.

i’ve recently had success running archlinux packaged bpftrace in a privileged container, so will be adding process metadata back in soon.

I don't understand this argument. Because science enthusiasts show a similar zeal as religious enthusiasts, then science itself is a circus of spectacle? That makes no sense to me. I'm struggling to understand how science as a method for building knowledge is invalidated by the behavior of zealots.
This is a false equivalence.

When someone say they believe in Science, it means they subscribe to fact and evidence based reasoning. And that if there are evidence or facts that overturns their current belief, they'll gladly accept it.

There are no such equivalence in religion.
That is not true, according to an investigation ran by a third-party https://www.bbc.com/news/amp/uk-politics-54457407
Do you trust the third-party investigation, or a couple of whistleblowers one of which designed the entire system and another of whom sold the system.
No doubt CA is a wake-up call for data security and privacy.. but a sales person telling you how freakin’ powerful the system is and how they can control the world with their ML models. Well we’ve all heard that.

By the way it’s not just TV ads to consider. Mail is a huge part especially for political campaigns and NO one has visibility to that. You can’t just cherry-pick one distribution model of advertisements.

Salt for an average person most likely is over exaggerated. But once you already have hypertension, you need to watch it.
No, people want to get rich quick and that’s it. Nobody is buying Bitcoin as a store of value. Everybody buys because they put a bet on the narrative "Bitcoin could easily be worth 100k-200k". This is 100% speculation and nothing else.
More so because grad students receive grants that cover their tuition and some basic salary. In other words, unlike undergraduate students, graduate students actually costs money.
Very cool, but where did the record come from? Was bootable vinyl ever actually a thing? I'm old enough to remember the cassette era and I never saw bootable vinyl before today. Or did they somehow do a custom press from an audio recording?
Spectrum is so thin however...
Does that not make it even more relevant?
https://www.gwern.net/Causality

Correlation usually does not indicate causation. I.e. more than 50% of the time, correlative relationships in studies do not indicate causal ones. Taking that as a prior, and lacking any evidence to the contrary, it is indeed correct to say "it is most likely that ...".

Conservatives burned their Nikes because Colin Kaepernick was in an ad.

Not to mention the months-long propaganda campaign claiming that Big Tech was silencing conservatives on social media.

Also, conservatism is basically supporting the status quo. Why would conservatives have labor protests against the status quo?

Moderate center prefers status quo and dislikes confrontation. But, it does not actually prefer rational discussion, rational discussion only sometimes favors statis quo.

Which is why center is loosing alot. Except in presidential elections, IMO both Biden and Obama are center by any reasonable definition. Even Clintons were center, but she lost, so.

I suffer from both problems (fogging up glasses and difficult to breath) but I still prefer to wear a mask. It just means I go less to places where its mandatory to wear one. Which means I go out less, which is statistically good to combat the pandemic. My mother does the very same, except she's a risk group while I'm not. As does my partner. n=3 but I doubt we're alone. Even in a seemingly unlikely way such as this indirect example, masks work.
I thought this post was going to be "This variable X does not exist" and have a machine-generated formula solving for X.
Another interpretation is, now she looks extremely good. Not in some cynical sense. If you are making an effort to seem smart, not merely generous, then donating money to a research lab - much like making angel investments - is going to work pretty well.
The article is trying to say he runs a hedge fund and is skeptical of Bitcoin, not that he is a skeptic of hedge funds.
Regardless of your theory of what a Biden administration means for the country, the market says people want freedom and independence from whatever is coming

I think that's an odd way to read BTC pricing. The number of people buying because bitcoin represents freedom is significantly lower than the number of people buying simply because they're speculating that the price will go up some more. If those people decide to cash out their gains the price will go down again. There's nothing inherently more free about bitcoin at $18000 than there is at $12000. The value is not linked to the politics.
The last part is the crux of this dispute to me. If the users are opting into this, isn't that the same argument for letting them opt into the Facebook platform itself? Why must we protect them from NYU and not from Facebook?
My point is that, even if that is true, there are many other factors that go into technical decisions than pure technical merits. These decisions happen in the context of a business, with existing systems, codebases, teams of people with different experiences and preferences, unique market dynamics, etc. To say "you used the wrong tool for the job" without considering the conditions under which that tool was chosen isn't a productive assertion.
Yeah I know they've been politicized but people not believing in science is not my problem. If they don't want to wear masks that is their problem. If I ran a company I wouldn't care that masks for example are politicized, I'd just mandate that all employees wear them.

If it is a reference to The Last Ringbearer then it is quite weird as depicted world in that book takes some names from LOTR. With nothing else matching between this books.

And in LOTR Sauron was neither promoting meritocracy nor against racism.

While in TLR more industrialised side was not depicted negatively.

So even if it is referring to TLR then it still makes no sense.

Specifically donations to political parties and individual politicians are banned.

If a corporation wants to run a media campaign on social issues - that's fine. But if an ad features a politician, especially leading up to election, that'd be treated as illegal political ad.

The legal way to do is through legal lobyist. Companies can pay them and certified lobyists can talk to institutions/individuals/parties. But meetings are semi-public and the public is +/- aware of what is lobying what. Lobyists can't give gifts to politicians, otherwise they risk their license.

There's a workaround though. Politicians love to establish NGOs, then corporations donate to NGOs and politicians go on speaking tour in the name of NGO to cash out. But at least that limits use of corporate money for over-the-top election campaigns.
Science funding is aggravatingly hard to bootstrap.

You usually need preliminary data to get a grant, but you need a grant (or at least money) to collect that preliminary data. This is especially true for NIH funding, where the competition is cut-throat (~10% of grants funded) and the experiments are relatively expensive.

At an early stage, a million dollars of foundation money (or even a lot less) can launch a research program that would otherwise not get off the ground. In a more established program, this would still open up “riskier” directions that would not be feasible otherwise.

You might be thinking of actual drug development and clinical trials. There, a
million bucks still wouldn’t be anything to sneeze at, but isn’t enough to run a complete Phase III trial, which usually cost in the tens of millions.
This nonsense again. If china has control over reddit, how come there are so many anti-china propagandists like you on there? The china subreddit itself is entirely an anti-china propaganda cesspool. Hasn't been anything china related on that sub for years now. Now if you said saudi arabia or israel, maybe there is an argument to be had there. But the china or russia controlling everything narrative doesn't hold up to reality.
I'm not sure that justifying certain areas of debate or complaint being off limits to normies because "things get done" is an anti-totalitarian stance...
Using asserts AND keeping them in production builds.

This really helps whipping people into shape and making them pay attention to what they write. Also helps documenting the code in a very succinct way.
Weekly news is such a great cadence and I love the audio recording they publish with each issue.
It is bullshit I agree. We all know what the intent is with an advertisement. You don’t have to be a “tech-elite” to understand ads.

There should be more transparency around how ads are displayed on the internet.. but giving researchers full access to a user’s data and their friend’s data is a pretty poor one. Can’t a better system be designed for this?

Content, however, is very dangerous and it’s not clear what a good solution is. It’s not clear what the purpose of content is on the internet.
Depends on how you use it.

If that 1 million goes towards remuneration of a hopeful postdoc who later comes with a breakthrough, yes, it could move the needle quite a bit. I still believe that human ingenuity is a large part of the whole picture.

A lot of talented people with scientific education are forced (or at least highly motivated) to search for well-paid jobs outside science, so keeping them in might be a very effective investment.

Or it might not. People are notoriously unpredictable and their "needle" is volatile.
I've heard such argument before, and it's often misused to justify the choice of the wrong tool in my opinion, because it's not based on objective technical reasons. So it's easy to use it with vague logic of "there are some business needs".
Strategies to Handle Challenges in Caching
Not at all. I’m claiming that some people weigh their perceived risk of mask vs no mask and their reasoning does not fall into the category of wearing a mask.
Cosine similarity. Recommendation is a search problem. YouTube has strict latency targets. The results are skewed toward what is easy to return. Videos already watched, videos from your subscriptions, and videos on topics that dominate these are easy to calculate and cache links. Deep insight is likely to time out most of the time.
Can someone please release a board with official first class citizen ChromeOS support? ASUS has so many Chromebooks, surely they can do that?
I think most agree anything not readily fixed by normal, known procedures is "bricked". But most things we call this are not really permanently broken (and we might be surprised to find some of them to be trivially recovered).

I don't really hear "bricked" in use for things damaged mechanically or by water. It's usually in conjunction with a failed upgrade, etc. Almost none of these things are really permanently broken, though some of them for practical purposes may be.

They really should stop showing videos from your subscribed channels in the 'Home' view. They take ay too much priority there.

If you're finding that YT, when logged in, is becoming obsessed with any one topic, you can go into your YT history and remove some of the entries related to that topic.

That'll remove those from consideration and your home screen recommendations will change.

This is a very misinformed article. The point of a signature is to make it obvious to both parties that they are making a binding agreement and to bring all the terms of the agreement together in one contract.

A signature also makes it so that someone must commit a felony to misrepresent what you agreed to by forging your signature, no matter how easy it might be to forge. It also creates evidence of their crime.

The article’s complaint seems to be that it might be easy to forge a signature, electronically or physically. Forged signatures are almost never an issue in contract disputes, and when they are, it’s almost always petty small time crime like check fraud.

Solving something that is not actually a problem, using an extremely complicated tool like cryptographic signatures, which require a huge amount of tooling around the storage of private keys and the identification public keys, is backwards.

> proponents of the scientific world-view reject it's similarity to religious culture. To me it looks exactly the same

Really? I think you are confusing the scientific worldview, which is diametrically opposed to religious culture--religious culture says certain beliefs are declared to be not open to question at all, no matter how much your intelligence wants to question them; the scientific worldview says all beliefs are open to question, no matter how much you think they're right--with pronouncements made by particular scientists to lay people, which often do seem like certain beliefs are being treated more like religious beliefs.
The Tinkerboard has USB3, just use any one of the Linux supported USB3 to Ethernet adapters for sale out there and you can have multiple Ethernet interfaces.

You can even get N-BaseT USB3 adapters these days, and USB3 has the bandwidth. You may quibble about connecting Ethernet over USB3, but it works quite well in my experience.
