Security auditors – the Cinderella story of SAST
Not everyone has many friends, and if your one or two friends (literally 1 or 2) aren't there, there is no one. Your family might live out of town, too.

When my ex attempted suicide, he'd have succeeded if he lived alone. Few people would notice my own absence for some time if I lived alone, honestly.
I stumbled upon this because there seems to be a FOSDEM talk which talks about it: https://fosdem.org/2021/schedule/event/python_reloading/

(https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26034851)

I wonder if this is used seriously by someone.

I always thought that this has a potential to greatly improve the development productivity.

I remember I saw live coding videos from Notch (Minecraft) on some gamejam where he intensively used hot code reloading for Java. About 90% of his development time, he had the game running, and tuned the logic of some game elements live, and immediately saw the result.

I know that Erlang also has such a feature, such that you don't need to shut down your production system, and that you can update it live while it keeps running.
The article says why the fraudster was sentenced: "The fraudster had been sentenced to more than two years in jail for covertly installing software on other computers to harness their power to mine or produce bitcoin."

> I wouldn't consider the modern system of wage-slavery to be a life of leisure, convenience, and certainly not enjoyable for the thrill of a fast paced modern-life. As the above commenter observed, the lifestyle of the modern worker is anything but leisurely and thrilling, rather, more reminiscent of the life of a caged bird.

Being a farmer in the middle ages wasn't no picnic either. That's just the nature of work, I'm afraid, to the degree that it was even put into the story of Adam and Eve's banishment ("In the sweat of thy face shalt thou eat bread").

I remember on major Napoleonic History source commented that if you had a soldier like Sharpe who through from the sand dunes of Flanders all the way through to Waterloo, They would have had only a handful of high intensity hours of combat - which would have been exceeded in 2-3 days by the first units in D Day in Normandy.
I would expect that to happen and be appropriate since eventually most questions will have been asked and most articles written. If you put aside information on new things in the world, those two sites are approaching a "finished" state so there's surely not much of value that anyone can add anymore. Of course, they may still be overzealous in deleting.
No, but anyone in the public could potentially become part of such a group. So, what they disallow for what they consider a special group they are also disallowing for themselves.
It’s always interesting to watch other companies give presentations in their attempt at Apple style. Google comes to mind as being the worst.

It’s like everyone has analyzed or identified certain little nuggets of a good presentation and then sprinkled them in... versus truly and innately understanding how to deliver a cohesive performance to an audience. The most famous example of this is the way everyone started to use “we did x y and z and you’re going to love it!” which was thrown around like peanuts on a domestic flight.

Richard Feynman’s quote on cargo culting comes to mind.
Posts from sicpers.info are submitted multiple times by approximately the same set of user handles. Nothing wrong with that kind of self promotion really except that it's low quality ranting. I would guess that these users, from their enormous karma and (admittedly a biased metric) that fact that I cannot recall them from reading posts, have an automated submission system (to harvest karma).

>On the other hand: the whole reason that shady, dark pattern, privacy killers like disqus exist is because people won't pay for stuff.

Not only for that. Also because they can make extra money off of it.

So no reason to not have "shady, dark pattern, privacy killers" even to services your customers pay for.

It's because of a focus on quality and responsibility that you don't do it, not because "we already make money since our service is non-free, so let's leave the extra ad money on the table".
Yes, but Google are not cooperating in that. If you are witnessing a crime that you cannot stop, does it mean that if the criminal gives you a thousand or even a million dollars, you will help them because the crime will happen anyway?

Code review is not about perfection – it is about peer review, much like in science, recognizing that a single person might have overlooked a lot of important stuff, and recognizing that collaboration usually leads to higher quality work.

Of course the desired level of quality will be different at each company/team, and each team should adjust for its own reality.

In the same team there can be times for throwaway code with low standards, and times for high quality code with strict standards. It is part of the developers' responsibility to tell them apart and make contextualised choices.

You're selling an herb as a medicinal cure that hasn't been tested by labs or gone through human trials, could:

* cause severe side effects to internal organs that aren't immediately visible on the outside

* cause bad alergic reactions in some people

* react badly with other medicines

* very well kill someone.

There's a reason that you have to go through a years (or even decades)-long process to get a medicine approved. You haven't even tried to go through that.

I'm not saying this substance did not work for you - it might very well have. But you're a sample size of one. You have no idea about potential side effects or risks.

Remember, just because something is "natural" doesn't mean it's safe.

So yeah. I totally understand why a payment processor cancelled your account. You could literally kill someone with this stuff.

That's correct, but there are some extra considerations. Usually, a Bitcoin wallet will generate multiple addresses with different private keys, using the initial key as a seed alongside some extra parameters. The only real-world ramifications of this are that there could be compatibility issues between different wallet software, meaning some extra configuration is needed before being able to regenerate the wallet.

This echoed my experience before I left a Wikipedia project (one of its language variant). I have been vocal with the direction one of its most active admin is trying to head the project to, as well as the not-so-positive treatment of inexperienced users. Many of the legitimate complaints against this admin was pretty much ignored or stalled. Ultimately, I decided that it's not worth my efforts to try to push for a more friendly environment, and I have decided to leave. I still help with some offline activities and movement-related function, but chances for me to return to being the contributors again are slim.
Hmm. I actually said that because that's what the GDPR training that I was forced to undertake by my employer taught me. That being said, reading the reguglation now shows me that was a misunderstanding.

That being said it wouldn't require the EU to create laws which have jurisdiction above the US supreme court - if a company has any activity within Europe the European courts can act. There are other examples - for example UK libel law allows people under certain circumstances to sue for libel in the UK even if both parties are not UK citizens and the libel itself occurred outside the UK. Another example is the US CFTC which claims jurisdiction over all swaps transactions even if both parties are non-US and the swap itself happened outside the US.
> Looks like they didn't seize anything, and he controls the coins.

That depends where the convict has stored their private wallet key - and if it is accessible to him:

- Hardware wallets can be seized by the police and thus are worthless to both - the police can't access the funds without the password, the convict can't access the funds without the wallet.

- Similarly, on-disk wallets are worthless

- Brain wallets can be used in theory, but the police would instantly know if the convict did anything with them

In any case, the police statement that they "seized" a wallet containing the Bitcoins implies that it's either a hardware or on-disk wallet and that they are aware of the public key (otherwise, how would they know how many Bitcoin are in the wallet?).
Exactly. That is why I say such arguments are essentially arguments for communism, and we all know how that turns out.
> The reason Mozilla has not text-to-speech is because the guy behind RNNoise and LPCSpeech (JM Valin) has been bought by Amazon

That is part of the problem.

With smaller projects you are at risk of the "hit by a bus" problem, where major/complex technology is dependent on a single individual or a very small team.
I find that an interesting question; if he does the time because he refuses/cannot give the password, can they still take him when he does use it? That seems weird as he will have done the time then? How does that work? They cannot pay that time back to him and, in a way, he exchanged it as punishment for the fraud + not paying back of the money right?
/me searches changelog for "`brew update` now runs asynchronously and doesn't block the process to install a 3 year-old package." Dismayed, I do not find it.

One of the most amazing aspects of cryptocurrency is you can destroy your wallet and still retain your tokens so long as you remember the wallet seed: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Brainwallet

I've done this and the way I remember it is by typing it in to a piece of software I wrote to connect to the Bitcoin network every day to ensure I still have access.

No just kidding. I don't do that for Bitcoin, but I do have an encrypted dead man's switch that has such a password.

No, it's not a dead man's switch, it's just a bunch of documents that no one cares about.

OK fine, it's porn.

BUT. I do type it in every day.
When you make a moral call, do you not forecast a fork in the road where you might choose the morally superior destiny? Or does one merely move moral words without the corresponding conviction to move moral results?
Having worked for both a small and a mid-size charity (~50, ~500 employees), and known people at others, in my experience an annual "staff party" or similar is usually fairly low-key. People are very aware that the money comes from donations.

Why have the party at all? Because spending €20 or whatever per employee/volunteer on an annual party has benefits beyond increasing everyone's salary by that amount: job satisfaction, employee/volunteer retention, knowledge sharing etc.

Fundraising events are parties for the guests, but work for the charity staff. (Attend the party, introduce Rich Person X to Foreign Princess Y who promotes our work and went to the same university, mention the proposed project in Country Z if she doesn't, etc.)

This isn't about video, it's about 3D apps. The top 3D porn apps need power similar to the top AAA video games to simulate hair, physics, and to render realistic looking characters. In the same way AAA videos games don't run well in the browser., VR apps in the browser are just as bad.

Also note: even if we're just talking video Safari does not support a webpage going fullscreen which is arguably required to do VR video. But just to be clear again, this isn't about videos, it's about high end real time 3D porn
I am pretty sure that Google provides a lot of those services at a loss, or at the very least, they can synergize with other projects they have in way that justifies the cost.

Either way, people will choose the free option rather than the option that requires them to pay even a nominal fee, particularly for software that people have gotten used to getting for free.

Is there precedent for this kind of situation? Cryptocurrency is unlike most assets which are either physical (can be seized) or held in a ledger managed by some legal entity (which can be ordered to transfer it freeze the asset).

A Bitcoin private key is neither of those things, essentially it's a valuable piece of information (intellectual property perhaps?), of which copies may exist.

I really enjoyed the concepts in CLIM back when I programmed in CL. These days I can't even imagine using CLOS and relying on mutable state in objects. I'd much rather have my UI be a function of data, which is why I enjoy using React (with ClojureScript and the Rum library). But there are many ideas in CLIM that are worth at least learning and thinking about (for example, Presentation Types and presentations in general).
Technically, Chromium is not being sacrificed, it will just lose access to some powerful APIs. In practice it means Chromium as we know it is done. Most people who want or need these features will be unaware of some community fork and will simply switch to Chrome or Firefox.
I love this team and their game and have ~1k hours in it. But I hope they soon choose to do a whole new game. Incremental improvements to their masterpiece is a suboptimal use of their talents.

I'd love to see their take on something like Universal Paperclips or Dyson Sphere. So many homages have been built to Factorio; they could return the favor.
A wallet is literally someone's keys. The big question in this case is whether it's the only copy of their keys.

If you try using Wikipedia as a research aid in almost any field and try to follow footnotes a lot of the time you will wind up with broken links or a garbage source. It's not that there are not some Wikipedia pages that are not good. It is the case that it's very challenging to tell when a page is good or bad without following the footnotes. Sometimes you will find a good source, but at least in my experience most of the time you will try to follow citations and see it ends in either 404 or a trash pit.

There are also lots of situations like if you are looking for things such as statistics related to a war, if you use Wikipedia to start your research you will wind up clicking through to all kinds of trash sources that waste your time when there are compendiums of statistics through either government reports or print references that you could have just used with library access in a fraction of the time that you spent sifting through a sea of web feces.
It's pretty trivial. Just have worker/slave heat up water and deliver it to a point above the shower head. They had more advanced solutions than that even in the Roman empire.
That's fascinating - and, later, a somewhat similar calculation was done erroneously. The yield of the Castle Bravo bomb - the first hydrogen bomb to use lithium as its source of tritium - was 250% greater than predicted, on account of overlooking the prompt conversion of lithium-7 to tritium when bombarded by high-energy neutrons.

I think the article somewhat misconstrues the reasons why maintainers are thinking of dropping support for packaging Chromium. Maintaining the Chromium package is an unusually laborious task, with a lot of releases, and huge compile times. It's simply a gigantic codebase with the order of millions of lines of code, and there are only a couple of people (at best) in each distro dedicating time to keep track of the latest changes. The Chromium in Debian has been developing a growing list of security issues as it falls behind the latest versions https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=972134

Google's forced removal of features from Chromium may just be the straw that broke the camel's back. I see other comments on HN and LWN question the maintainers' judgement, without realising how many resources it takes to package Chromium for distros.

This is why I really, really liked the idea of the Blackberry Storm back in the day. I, myself, bought a Blackberry Storm II to replace my Blackberry Bold 9000 and I was over the moon with the clickable touchscreen. I could type so much faster on it than my girlfriend with a first gen Samsung Galaxy S.

But the drawback was the software. It was slow, had few (decent) third party applications and in the end was not optimized for a touchscreen. I would love to see another, modern device like this though.

What parent means is OpenOffice is barely maintained (or no effort is put), not that it's worthless.

They also imply that LibreOffice is where the action is, and is better maintained with a bigger community.

I don't follow the projects to know if that's the case, but that's what the parent seems to mean, not that OpenOffice is not usable.
I think if you just read the articles without following the footnotes you can easily get the impression that Wikipedia is a good encyclopedia. The writing quality is often pretty good, which unfortunately makes it more deceptive as to information quality.

Can one "own" a number?

A private key is simply a number < 2^256. Knowing the specific number gives control of the bitcoin.

Either one cannot really own bitcoin, or bitcoin has proven that knowing is owning.
