> ~/Library/._insu (empty file used to signal the malware to delete itself)

The article apparently doesn't explain how to protect against the malware?

Cannot hurt to manually create ~/Library/._insu right? (not that it seems to offer great protection but I take it cannot hurt?)

Anyone got any idea as to how to harden OS X a bit against this malware?
I have the PayPal receipt. I meant, I didn't receive the email sent to old-timers. I figured you might want to know in case this was an oversight, and there are old-timers you intended to contact, but didn't.

I've always wondered why DDG doesn't go fully open source? Their mobile apps and browser extensions are already open source, why not open source the search engine? Is it just because they don't want to deal with the extra work (they already shutdown duckduckhack), or is there something else that I am missing?
So much fun!
I majored in mechanical engineering but I am developing software totally irrelevant with it.
This is reminiscent of what I learned in university. I feel fun and curious about the model for simulating this.
I suggest starting by looking up the Curry-Howard isomorphism.
But the people shouting about the FED debasing their currency are not poor unbanked people in 3rd world countries so I don't see how your comment is relevant.
>The reverse is also true. People think if they experience a bug, then everyone experiences the bug and it's the most important bug ever.

The reverse is not always true, because some people have certain knowledge and if they experience some bug they could analyse it and make an educated guess about the quality of the product and importance of the bug.

I personally have seen many bugs in Disk Utility. On my previous Mac I couldn't make volume to be named as I wanted in certain conditions no matter how hard I tried with diff scenarios. Disk Utility was simply renaming it to something else. Something unrelated. It was obviously a bug and it was reproducible. And this was not the only one. Another one I've seen that Disk Utility simply cannot format the drive. I've seen more and it's getting worse and worse. After seeng those I was wondering do they test it at all? Does one who tests it knew how to do it?
> I'm not sure if you can walk to the BART station from any terminal but in my experience you take the AirTrain.

The BART station is right at the international terminal and a reasonable walk from Terminal 3.

It’s a pretty good way to get to San Francisco from abroad.
> but I think, at least with Dulles Airport's design, it mostly failed because it was completely incompatible with a single-point bottleneck security line (sadly) required at modern airports.

MCI (Kansas City) has separate security areas for each handful of gates.

Here's a map showing the general shape of one of the three terminals: https://www.ifly.com/kansas-city-international-airport/MCI-C...

I don't see an online map with the security areas marked, but the way it works is that the outer edge is divided into segments for each few gates, and each segment is separate with its own security.

.

For a "mobile lounge" setup, I'd assume each docking area for the lounges would have a security entrance and it ought to work about as well as what MCI has.
Best to ask is it doable in practice?

E-beam lithography can get to real 1nm in practice quite easily, but you can spend a week on a CPU sized IC for a single exposure.
Yeah I have a friend who essentially got fired for the same thing. His crime? Putting some icons he designed for the company on his personal portfolio website. They never used the icons FYI.
I'll grant you it is sort of weird. I think that's a perl thing, we just copied how they did it.

undef is both a function and a (non) value. It is the main reason Little never got pushed back into tcl, the tcl crowd hates the idea that there can be a value for a variable that is undefined. I found that very useful, for example, undef is the error return from any function. Just made sense to me, didn't make sense to the Tcl people.
The cat is already out of the bag and IMHO the only correct solution now is for all countries to do what they should have done in December already when the vaccinations started ramping up: complete lockdown with mandatory quarantine for all people travelling, with significant fines if people break it. Until a majority of the population in all countries are vaccinated.

I see only two viable outcomes. Either we do what I said above and accept a boring life for 3-9 months. Or Covid will continue to mutate and this will affect the world for years or longer, as vaccines need to be updated and populations need to be boosted with updated vaccines, whack-a-mole-style.
Wondering out loud: does any other human creation have the same level of complexity as computer software?
I really liked mother of learning. If anyone knows anything similar, I'd really like to hear it.
Aren't the app review requirements only necessary to submit apps to the App Store? Pretty certain you can still distribute software through your own channels without Apple reviewing it, you just need to apply as developer with Apple so the app is signed, then Gatekeeper doesn't get in the way.

Also I notice that Homebrew packages run just fine without needing to be signed by Apple, not sure how but that's a possibility if you really don't want to jump through Apple's hoops.
I've always been surprised that nobody has tried to take a "The Good Parts" subset of a big language (C++, Perl, etc.), codified/formalized it as its own language, and then attempted to popularize the new reduced language as a distinct effort/project/community to that of the original language.

One could release this "language" as a distribution of the inner language's compiler together with a wrapper (like C++ originally was to C), that, rather than adding features and compiling down, just analyzes the source file and errors out on use of forbidden syntax; or, if no forbidden syntax is used, just passes your code straight through to the inner compiler. A bit like a pre-commit-hook style checker, but a pre-compile-hook style checker.
Both are excellent, but I would definitely not call them similar. What's actually going on, the narrative and prose styles, the kinds of characters, what kinds of things they do with magic, the general vibe - are substantially different between the two.

Highly recommend both.

If there's a law that permits exfiltrating confidential documents from an employer because you don't like one of their policies, I'd be happy to know of it. But I doubt such a law exists.
The death tracker that was glued to the shot of some cable news programs 24/7 in the US is an example of fear porn.

> In this case I doubt "two HN users doing daily development and production on a new Mac" are so unique as to be incomparable.

I would have argued the opposite. Every developer I know, myself included, tweaks every last aspect of their machine to their exact liking - even on a Mac.

And I didn't say they should be ignored, and said the opposite.

> So while I think bugs around re-installing are important and need to get fixed

The point is it's a bug impacting a subset of users and needs to get fixed. IMO, it's not one worthy of multiple HN front page posts, but here we are :)
Indeed. Whenever you see {thing that shouldn't need to be there}, you should think very hard about why it could be there.

Sometimes, it's because {situation that no longer happens / is relevant}.

Sometimes, it's because {situation no one thinks would happen, but does with non-zero frequency in large deployments}. E.g. road debris forming a high force, sharpened spike directly into Tesla battery packs.
I'm a huge fan of preserving knowledge and building on it. Most people, at the time at least, knew what

while (buf = <>)

did. So I didn't want to invent a new syntax, there is way too much of that going on, I like C, I like perl, pull the useful stuff from each and move on.

I freely admit it's not how everyone would do it.
Google pays Apple something like $9 billion a year to be the default search engine. So it seems unlikely.
There are cultures where if a woman is raped, the solution is to marry her off to her rapist because she doesn't really have rights of her own. He has violated the property rights of some other man and damaged his goods and taking responsibility for said damaged goods is the remedy -- not for the victim of the rape but for the man who owns her.

There are cultures where a woman cannot accuse her husband of rape. If she is married, he has unilateral right to have sex with her as he sees fit, no permission required.

Rape is a really complicated topic and the detail of consent has only grown thornier in my mind over time.

While I was homeless, men were happy to offer me money for sex because it was obvious to them that I was very poor. Meanwhile, I was routinely told on HN "Get a real job" and basically quit my bitching that I can't manage to make adequate income from my writing.

I have six years of college and cannot manage to come up with an adequate income from "honest labor" but men are happy to offer me money for sex under circumstances that can be interpreted as taking advantage of my vulnerability.

There are women who argue that all heterosexual acts of intercourse are essentially rape because of the generally poor status of women's rights. If putting up with intercourse with some man is the only means a woman has of establishing an adequate income and the world will literally let you starve and say "Not my problem" if you aren't married well, dating him in specific, etc, is it really genuinely consenting to agree to sex to stave off starvation?

This is not a theoretical question for me. This is lived experience as an educated American woman still reeling with shock at how amazingly hard it is to get taken seriously as a person in need of an earned income and willing to work for pay while no one wants to pay me. They will take freebies from me, so they think what I do has merit, but when push comes to shove it doesn't lead to an adequate income for me.

It's not a thing I expect anyone here to understand or care about. I've been here long enough to know that commenting on it doesn't get me sympathy. It just pisses people off who would like to think of themselves as nicer than that, so pointing this out isn't going to be met with people going "Oh. I didn't realize that. Let's fix that. That's wrong."

It will be met with a chorus of "You are just doing it wrong." and no rebuttal on my part will ever be sufficient to have the issue taken seriously. I know because I've tried for years to put this issue into words and that's how it goes every time, without fail.

So if I were to cave and finally sleep with a man for his money after a decade or more of dire financial problems and failing to find any other remedy, is that really, truly consenting sex?

I don't think it is. It's not the kind of sex I'm interested in ever having.

I've had better. I know what better looks and feels like.

But my words fall on deaf ears and make no difference. So I have grown more sympathetic to strident feminist views, though I don't fundamentally agree with them and don't even self-identify as a feminist.
I share the sentiment. It always surprises how windows is sometimes even more shoddy in some ways. The software ecosystem isn't even that much better, unlike the Mac.

Totally agree. I see no reason why people think they have to take international flights at this point. Of course, if we had done what you're saying a year ago we wouldn't be in this mess.
I haven't flown into OAK for years. (Used to do it semi-regularly when I was flying JetBlue.) Back then it was buses which would get terribly backed up and overcrowded to the point where you might have to wait 30 minutes to get on one.
I hate to be an apologist, but MD5 is the norm in IOCs for two reasons:

1) All of the tools expect and produce MD5 because it is the convention. Computing MD5 hashes of every file on disk or passing through a network is a relatively common forensic operation right now, SHA256 is not.

2) IOCs are not intended to be used in scenarios in which a malicious collision presents a problem (no one would want to... mask their malware to still look like malware?) so there is little downside to carrying on the convention.

While I would recommend against MD5 in most modern applications, if nothing else to avoid having discussions like this all the time, before upsetting an entire ecosystem of tools it is important to consider whether or not the known weaknesses of MD5 actually pose a problem. In this case, a matching hash is the bad state, and so there is no real impact of a preimage attack.
I don't think Common Voice contains the type of commands we're recording here. Also, the numbers in these commands are like "19.56", as opposed to single digits.
I switched my phone's default search engine to DDG but still use Google on the desktop. I find the mobile experience for Google search to be much more annoying with the heavy emphasis on AMP.
Have you found community banks will actually lend to a SaaS though? I'd imagine they are more familiar with local businesses (e.g. a pizza shop, barber, etc.). I'd love work with a credit union / local bank, but I kind of counted them out considering how unfamiliar they'd be with our business model.

Depending on the antennas and which WiFi router you use, yes a few KM is doable.

For the situation You described I would suggest having a PC based server (like SME) on the roof of the industrial building, then a DD-WRT client bridge with a "Yaggi" antenna on every customers house. The SME server will provide client specific control of internet access and logs, the logs will protect You from being accused of say pedophilia or incitement etc. if one of your customers is up to no good.

But to answer your question, yes if You have line of sight from the house to the building, with the proper directional antennas the range is unlimited.

All your examples are not of people buying a brand new m1 and immediately re-installing. They are examples why it needs to get fixed, but right now likely has a low impact on the user base.
The article says it works against Chrome, Safari, and Edge. Brave fixed it. Firefox wasn't vulnerable.

The article says Firefox wasn't vulnerable because of a bug. But it might have been intentional.[1]

The researchers opened a bug report saying Firefox should implement the vulnerability a year ago.[2] They said they didn't realize it was a vulnerability at the time and not warning Mozilla later was an oversight.[3]

This is poetic, really.
Yeah, there are a limited set of options.

* school
* apprenticeship
* one parent (with near certainty the mother) must stay home
* large extended families i.e. grandma raises the kids

All but school are incomplete. A five year old can’t apprentice. Many people aren’t blessed with grandparents close by who can raise kids. Stay at home parenting works for some, but not single parents- and many women want to work. I get the feeling many “school is just daycare!” critics quietly prefer women pick between kids & career- though I could be wrong.

It’s also important to consider that, for most of human history, a child who is with their parents 24/7/365 is an anomaly. Kids need socializing with other people, and parents need a break. The same way spouses in a healthy relationship need time apart.
I didn't downvote you, but this use case of MD5 is fine - you want to verify whether the binary matches the one they have. You could spend a few hundred bucks on AWS to have a binary which matches that as well, but what would be the point - have users delete it?

Now, if you used it to verify whether a binary was _secure_, this would be problem. But in this case, the (still unlikely) possibility of a false positive is not really a threat.
I might be interested in Nano if it wasn't shilled so openly all over the internet. We're at a point where if you have even a passing interest in cryptocurrency, you'll get constantly bombarded by obvious bots spewing pre-written screeds on Nano. It really soured me on the currency as a whole.
The US did far too little to control the spread of the virus, which is why half a million Americans have died. The problem wasn't that people were too scared. It was that there wasn't coordinated, decisive action - specifically, a strict lockdown for several weeks in early 2020 to bring incidence to near zero, followed by rigorous contact-tracing and snuffing out of outbreaks as they occurred. China did this, and as a consequence, fewer than 5000 people have died there, and people have been able to go about their lives more normally for the last year.

A major argument against raising the minimum wage is productivity ceilings. Is a retail workers work worth $15/hr? If it isn’t, the employer is losing money by keeping them, and so they are fired. If I remember correctly, the congressional budget office reported that a $15 federal min wage would lift 1 mil people out of poverty - but would also cost 1 mil jobs.
On the contrary, given the huge risks being taken here, you would think that the recovery/reimage solution would be the thing that they would test the most!

I see you got some down votes but I see your question more as a helpful inquiry.

Idea is that you don't have to monitor anything actively. You still have your phone and email in case something goes wrong. But you are not franticly checking dashboards if response time is slower for 0.05 second in actual moment.

What parent is saying if you have normal operations most of the time everything will be OK. Despite all of the "spooky stories" software and servers are mostly reliable and you probably don't need that much redundancy that people who sell magic solutions would like you to believe.

If you look at statistics even for google, most of the downtime is when someone is changing something on the servers. When you are a single founder and you are having a diner and not changing config of your servers or deploying new software 95% of reasons for server going down are off the table.
You also have to factor in growth into the equation as well. That's the most subjective part of a company's valuation.
Ask HN: What are some strategies to create positivity in the engineering cycle?
The process of software engineering is rife with negativity. Some examples:

- Code review is important, but it is a necessarily a critique, and sustained code review can wear both submitter and reviewer down.
- Bugs happen. And they get fixed! But you'd be lying if you said you didn't check to see if you were the one that introduced the bug.
- Dealing with fires.
- Staying on top of security is constant and infrequently terrifying.
- Open source software rarely sees all the value it brings to the table; conversation usually focuses on issues and shortcomings.

Negativity abounds. It's a wonder that all of our mental states aren't reduced to the equivalent of an anxious chihuahua. Has anyone been successful in introducing some positivity in the engineering process? I have precious few examples:

- GitLab selects an MVP [0] for its releases, putting their name at the top of the release notes, very publicly awarding recognition.
- GitHub has introduced the "Discussions" page recently, frequently containing a "Show and Tell" category [1], helping open source maintainers see their hard work in action.
- Gamification and badge awarding has been explored [2], although it's non-trivial to introduce (and if there's talent disparity on a team, leaderboards and badges could actually be demoralizing and counter-productive)

> Note: While ideas like go out for beers with the team once in a while is helpful, I'd say that's more of a social band-aid. I'd like to focus the conversation on the engineering process specifically.
