Attacking (EC)DSA with Partially Known Multiples of Nonces
I initially felt similarly to the person that wrote the OP.

Then I thought - would anyone be offended if we use the term "holocaust" for wiping a hard drive.

The language we use does impact how we think and frame things, that's part of being human.
Somewhere pretty close to the truth? Or are you saying you believe misogyny is super uncommon?
What if the developer has an app where the benefit of the app is to get users out of the app as soon as possible. For example, I have an app that helps me copy magnet links on my iPhone. I never spend more than two seconds in the app every time.
Regarding the curated list suggestion: it's definitely on our to-do list. Our plan is for groups (called Buckets in Chums) to have a way to pin products or reviews to the top. So if somebody's passionate about e.g. garden power tools, they'll be able to moderate the bucket, post a curated list of products, and pin it to the top.
"racist actions" but a vast VAST majority of Indians don't find it racist.

When everything is racist? nothing is.

That's the key problem with all of these diatribe's. Anything you disagree with is "racist actions" and thus real racist actions are lost in the sea of BS about team names and Aunt Jemima syrup.
> I think the stigma of not paying debts is higher than the stigma of inflation

This would depend on the level of inflation. Higher than normal, probably. Extremely high, like ~30%+ its reset time I would suspect.

With the printing money, there has to be a limit. Were in the middle of something far beyond normal at any other time. Maybe we'll get through it cleanly but I also suspect todays debt fuelled can kicking events will get taught to students in ~50 years time and they'll sit there going 'what were they thinking'.
Ah, sorry, I read your comment as not knowing what the game was.

"Whac", in this context, is to delete or block an account. That doesn't remove the person, just as in the literal game whacking a mole just drives it below the playing surface. The whole point of calling it Whac-A-Mole is that blocking people or suspending accounts doesn't actually change anything or remove the people, it just temporarily drives them back underground. They'll pop up again soon enough.
> If they didn't publish a retraction, they probably could have been sued.

Almost certainly not. (Well, anyone can sue, for anything. Winning is another story.)

No, third party software can define bundles too.

I'm seeing it fine in both Safari and Safari Tech Preview for what it's worth. Versions 14.0.3 and 14.2 respectively.
I still use Eclipse and have no complaints. If IntelliJ was a one time payment, I might give it a try, but I really dislike being bound to a thing with recurring costs.

I've used IntelliJ for a JavaScript project and in the form of AndroidStudio, but I don't remember anything so extraordinary that it would compel me to switch.
This is demonstrably false if you look at property price trends across the US rather than just at the top cities.
Interesting, I guess this only works to recover uncompressed wav files where you know the sample frequency and bit depth? Or does it read the wav headers when it finds them or something?

That little pit in the border of your laptop screen near the camera could be both a puffer and a mic pick up! I'm not sure what would be behind it but I'll be putting on a full noddy suit before I do maint. on your lappie, having noted the piece of tape over it. I'm not sure what would end up trapped inside the shell over time but I suspect both of "BC".

In Spain there was the infamous case of "Radio Maria" (no explanation needed, UltraCatholic band) on being tunable everywhere even if you were in the remotest farm ever with no traces of civilization 100 kms around that point.

I thought that’s exactly what headers are for. Otherwise, why would someone use them? Just for something to attach a style to, or because the default styling looks sort of like what you want?
maybe the hardest, but audio softwares tend to have the most innovative designs I've ever seen. (Ableton, Fruity Loops, etc)
Wait, what? In what universe is there "barely any science fiction" outside our galaxy?

Lensman. The entire Revelation Space series. Beyond the Aquila Rift. Player of Games. Algebraist. Sirens of Titan. Perry Rhodan.

And that's off the top of my head. There's quite a bit of SF (both good and trash, and I think the above list has both :) happening outside our galaxy.
Erm, neither was the author of The Mind Illuminated. It’s literally just a textbook for how to meditate for western audiences.

I’m not sure how you got that from my comment. Not even sure what you mean by that last sentence. I’m sorry that even mentioning a substance had you jump to such conclusions.
Looks similar to the Corel interfaces, which were nigh-unusable if you were used to Adobe.
> And spend at least some amount of time figuring out how to help their reports grow.

I hear this an awful lot, but either as a manager or IC, I have no idea what it means.

From my perspective, if you leave me alone to do my thing and don’t interrupt me with random shit all the time, I’ll grow naturally. But the manager doesn’t have to be involved in this beyond shielding me from the bullshit, so I guess people are talking about something different.

"[I]t already broke backwards compatibility several times". There's your answer. I've got three decades worth of style files, personal macros, and workflow invested in the way I use LaTeX, numbering in the thousands of lines. In some communities, especially academia and most especially amongst mathematicians and engineers, that is a typical investment. Nothing that might require me to start overhauling that is going to get a moment's consideration until LaTeX stops working for me, and even then I'm probably going to try and maintain a bespoke TeX distro before I'd try to replace it.
New and casual users of LaTeX should probably consider these alternatives (I've even considered moving over to LuaTeX because it would allow more automation, but I'd need a pretty longish period of reimplementation that I don't see becoming available soon.) But anyone who wants to move that community of long-time users, organizations and publications is going to need to address the problem of a significant user base that have been using effectively the same software for literally (and according to my students, unbelievably) decades.

There's an analogous situation (or a continuation of this same situation, given the overlap in user
base) for those who've invested decades in building a personal set of Emacs configuration files. Again, I've got thousands of lines of *.el files (many of them devoted to my idiosyncratic use of LaTeX) in my Emacs configuration. Of projects looking to replace the aged Elisp engine and create a modern implementation aren't going to get much consideration if it would mean replacing that (literally decades of) work in a different language. That's why I continue to be interested in Guile Emacs---less because of Guile (although I have no issues replacing Elisp with a modern Scheme), but because they've always made it clear that an ability to re-use Elisp configuration files was a primary design goal.
hahahahaha...

To explain, that's essentially the same name as the one ultra-religious radio in Poland, that was also known for abusing RDS system to force-switch everyone's car radios to their channel :)
It is normal to have production deploys continuously throughout the day. If your client disconnected and reconnected every time a Slack engineer decided to push some code, it would get annoying pretty quick.
Have you considered using Jamulus[0] for both talking in realtime and recording high quality audio? Jamulus server supports recording separate tracks to Reaper and Audacity projects. I suspect it will be easier for your guests to set up. Using Audacity is probably a better option unless something goes wrong for any of the guests. Using Jamulus will minimize the room for error.

I've also written an extensive guide for getting the best possible results with recording speech: "Voice recording and processing for talks, streaming and conferencing"[1]. Hope it can be of use.

These don't display at all in Internet Explorer 11. You either get a white square or a series of unreadable numbers.

That's a non-starter for my usage unfortunately, as even degraded IE11 support is swing-able, but completely broken means we cannot use it. We're still seeing corporations and government agencies using IE11 on a regular basis.

Wikimedia claims 3.9% of their users are still IE11, we're closer to 10%, but we're also majority desktop rather than mobile users which is also really rare in 2020.
you're pretty much right.
I really like this! I haven't had to build any of these more time-series oriented data charts but gonna keep this in mind if it ever comes up :)
It’s probably true that biographies suffer from selection bias towards successful people, but simply publishing additional biographies of notable unsuccessful people probably isn’t going to eliminate selection bias very much. To eliminate that bias one would need to actually gather data and develop explanations for what choices and circumstances are favorable to success.
Imagine a dystopian novel where people who don't own toilets are forced to lose a quarter of their portable device's viewport to look at glamorous photos of products for rich people living on the other side of their globe.

That's Android right now. Yeesh.
Because you don’t have an inherent right to use a Web site. I also doubt that that many people prefer jail to losing access to one.
My wife did the exact same thing in transferring the files between her computer and mine. This is one thing that could definitely be made a lot better.
> About 95% of Bitcoin is controlled by just 2.4% of the accounts

This seems obvious to me. Many people have bitcoin wallets with only a little invested. In my case, I have a few wallets just to play around with. I assume all of those wallets count as "accounts" in the above, which would really drive down the amount of money the average account controls. However few people actually have wallets with large amounts of money. I could easily move far more money into my wallets, but I choose not to.

On the other hand, when we're talking about non-bitcoin wealth the numerator is much larger (everything you and me have as assets could count as wealth, not just what we've invested in a specific thing) and the denominator would be much smaller (every one of us only counts as one person, while bitcoin wallets could be created on the fly)

In other words, the above is quite the apples to oranges comparison.
Sun hardware was very popular through the 90's into the early 2000's, before Linux was considered "stable." After that, a Sparc running Solaris wasn't competitive with an early 2000's era Intel box running Linux. Around the same time, the dot-com crash flooded the market with barely used, almost new hardware. Anyone who needed Sparcs had them... for cheap. After 2003 or so, I never saw any newer companies go with Sun.

Still, I loved Sun hardware. I had a Sparc 5 at home for a long time.
I assume they use phone data to do this.

If you were tricky you could work out which car a phone was in from the fingerprinting accelerometer data and other things.

But I suspect they are mostly exaggerating.
Because I need things that will have a reasonably long battery life and 100% reliable suspend/resume/hibernate functionality, I have a Macbook Air 2020 as my laptop, and the previously mentioned debian+xorg+xfce environment as my desktop.

The laptop is increasingly a thin client these days as everything I want to do is either inside a TLS session in a browser, or I'm controlling remote Xen, KVM hypervisors and virtual machines (either by SSH or VNC-over-SSH) that have much more cpu and ram resources than could ever be reasonably squeezed into a laptop.

The highly refined macbook touchpad user interface is also a part of it. Nothing matches it in the market space intended as Windows-10 laptops.

For me what makes Linux on a laptop a really bad and unreliable experience overall is a combination of poor quality/small touchpads, poor quality microphone built in near the keyboard, poor quality screens (you have to pay a LOT to get a screen anywhere near the quality of a macbook air or pro, and I absolutely detest 16:9 ratio laptop screens), and general unreliability in suspend/resume functionality.

OT: why do we still say FAANG and not FAAMG? It seems to me that MS is much more in the same league than Netflix.
That doesn't seem fair. I used Audacity a lot for all kinds of things over the years, (most recently 2.3.3 on a Mac) and it never crashed or even behaved weirdly.
It really depends. where the scene is not that big, it does happen to meet again a former coworker (or a former boss) at another company.

I've seen that happen.
Ironically, some people blame the failure of Sun on Jonathan Schwartz being too open and not generating enough revenue.
You are just recentralising everything Bitcoin allegedly decentralized. It's ridiculous. Just pay cash, you are decentralized, are your own bank and can buy everything.

Problem solved without Bitcoin. You won't get rich from just holding it, though, and we all know that this is really the only goal of cryptocurrency proponents.
This is great but why they have to do that? Slack uptime isnt great. They might be up globally but they definerely degrade performance all the time. I got issue like fail to send message very often.

Plus, it is just chat. We re really ok with it being down
You can always use something like PyInstaller or freeze to produce a single-file executable that bundles all of its dependencies, though at that point you may as well just use Go which does this more naturally. Single-file Python executables tend to be huge and slow to start up, not a big deal for non-interactive server processes, but miserable for CLIs.
Even then, though, that was over a decade after the fact, and people were inventing explanations for things retroactively. Doug McIlroy has put the kibosh on this myth.

I just use awesome GistPad [2] vscode extension and add tags to notes (just array of #tag1 #tag2 in description).

This is accessible easily via various tools on ad hoc place (mobile, browser or whatever), such as GistList [1], GistPad / vscode has some good filtering features and I can download all gists locally and use any file manager to filter out tags. Its also a collection of mini git repositories with all nice things (revisions, multiple files etc.) and me not having to think about any of that.

You can easily go from there to graphs and folders and other advanced stuff (PlantUML et al are all possible via extensions) if you need them, but I have around 200 notes and do not usually need any of that. What I do need is an easy system not depending on any particular technology - all parts of it can be replaced with something else or nothing at all and still be usable with regular OTB OS tools.

The coining of “responsive web design” was a reference to architecture which responds to its present occupants. It’s not about changing shape, it’s about making the same content and experience available regardless of environment. Changing shape or layout is a technique to achieve that, not a defining characteristic.

Regarding changing layout in SVG, you just need the `use` tag.

This is definitely true for me. I cannot imagine wanting to inflict some of the managers I’ve had on the members of my team. Better me than the chance of someone worse (and I’m pretty bad, I just judge the chance of someone worse taking it up if I stop to be higher).

Nice thing about JS is we can avoid request form curl/http lib etc.
Any idea how it would interface with the placenta? Normal mammals use umbilical cords.
An attestation basically says that we’ve verified that your bank says you have $X in your account.

Deltec, Tether’s bank, is owned by Tether. So it’s worthless.

But attestations tell you nothing about solvency. Let’s say I need to show $1k in my bank account. So I go to a loan shark. I can now get an attestation that I have $1k. It’s true, I do...but I also owe $1k.

Attestations are not audits.

I loved the Nova episode "Parallel Worlds, Parallel lives". Mark Everett (maybe you have heard of his band "The Eels") talks and learns about his late father, Hugh Everett III, the quantum physicist author of the Parallel Universe theory.

Safeguards may not be needed if meditation is pursued in moderation and with a modicum of self-awareness.

When it becomes a competition or a drug or a lifestyle or an experimental therapy or hobby or social or cult activity, there are greater dangers. People should be meaningfully informed of the risks. But there is money to be made, so...

Philosophical studies and religious faith and teachings seem to smooth the way. Know thyself. Everything in moderation. To thine own self be true. The small still voice within. If it isn’t making you more kind and loving to all you meet, whatever it is, then stop. As true about meditation as anything else.

The best introduction I ever found on the topic of meditation was Introduction to Yoga Principles and Practices by Majumdar, University Books, 1964. No cult, no workshops, been dead for a while.
Yeah, I run a raidz2 (I was young back when I built it ;-) and have replaced all but one of the drives at least once. Rock solid. And bhyve + zfs, that's really cool.

I've been teaching myself optimal control theory and rocket trajectory optimization using pontryagin's minimum principle. There's still a some quite large "...and then a miracle occurs..." gaps in my understanding, but it is coming along. Also done some work on a pseudospectral optimization engine (baby version of GPOPS) and gotten some results out of that. And I have a very small understanding of convex optimization and can at least describe one simple concrete problem that I've solved (or improved) using convex techniques. I can at least read lars blackmore's hoverslam papers and see how they could be implemented.

I took a quarter of graduate level quantum in school and optimization problems involve much more voodoo.
I'm wondering how they're getting access to data from cars all over the world "except Cuba and North Korea."

Does one database actually exist or are they tapping in from a number of sources. It all feels a little too sci-fi.
Yes, because one field uses it, the rest of the universe is irrelevant.

late reply, but thanks a lot for this
Ugh. I can see where you’re coming as a matter of practicality but I’m really not fond of this “conform to VS Code for everything” mentality. I’ve noticed that the trend has been to move toward LSP for everything having to do with text editor / IDE architecture and while I understand the appeal in having a set of standards for something that has traditionally been all over the place (cue Vim vs. Emacs flame wars - I like both), I am personally not sold on Microsoft’s design here. I won’t go into too much detail as I don’t want to derail this thread, but “overengineered yet woefully nearsighted” is how I might describe it.

VS Code is a wonderful piece of software and if it works for you, that’s great. But not everyone likes VS Code or the design choices that led to it. Software makers shouldn’t be criticized for wanting to break away from those choices entirely and do something new or different. That may very well mean less community support or third party extensions - but every piece of software doesn’t need to be the most popular to be impactful. You probably won’t find a lot of developers coding in Light Table these days but when it was first released back in 2012 it brought some new and interesting ideas to the IDE space; I want more of that, not less.

Do we? Sadly, appreciation for excellent typesetting has declined now that most people are consuming writing through a screen. And even for printed material there is pressure to cost costs: venerable and respected publishers with long traditions of obsessively good typesetting, realized they could outsource their typesetting to developing-world shops using Word or similar software, and few readers would care. (Similarly, and to the dismay of bibliophiles, even prestige titles these days are likely to get a glued building instead of a sewn one, and fairly low-resolution digital printing).
