No, it's a completely different topic. Java applets were "unsafe by design" in that they allowed to escape the sandbox (even as a feature via calling out into native DLLs).

This paper is only about messing up the WASM heap, which might cause the WASM application to crash, but this doesn't cause damage outside the sandbox.
It's far more bandwidth-intensive to stream from the internet to a phone screen and again from a phone screen to a Miracast receiver. You also can't use the phone screen nor see notifications while Miracast streaming.

With Chromecast, the dongle is actually just a remote-less streaming stick. So it streams directly from the server and the streaming app on your phone is the remote.

As a Washington resident, I think this is great. WA has one of the most regressive tax systems in the country, and this is a move in the right direction.

It's crafted to have a very narrow impact. It is capital gains, but essentially only for stock sales, and only for stocks sales over a quarter million dollars. If someone sells half a million dollars worth of stock, it seems very fair the state gets some cut of that - especially if it's earmarked for childhood education.

I can only hope I'm successful enough to one day pay this tax.
Do you know if there is something similar for SQLite? I've been looking for a while and wonder if maybe listening to the WAL is the best option. There are hooks to tie into but the database I'm looking at isn't mine (it's local on my machine for another application) so idk if I should be futzing around with it.
You have given words to my lifelong struggle.

Honestly I have done great in every part of life except competitions.

During my school I always score good marks because there were only few books ,( to reach the bar ) , after that due to my issue with perfection, I have always put extra effort and I was successful . I had a very fulfilling schooling with great academic as well sporting results ( National Level Table tennis player) .

Then comes entrance exams . As a person who have always done well in tests , encountered a whole new world of competition. I started reading lot of books for the same subject , never satisfied , I had been a victim of maximum resources and minimum learning. Too be honest I never reached the bar to pass the entrance. Had I been focused on few resources I am sure the story would have been different.

I took engineering and again make the same mistake of maximization of resources and never reached the bar. Completed engineering , now comes the interviews , again made the same mistake. I had lost confidence in all my abilities and stopped applying for roles.

After few months I started freelancing and worked well with clients because there my maximum resources model worked. Now I have significant money to take 6 months off and really start from bottom at preparing interviews.

Hope it helps somebody.
The point is that C compiled for the WebAssembly runtime is less secure than C in a traditional OS context, because of the lack of defenses on stack, heap, and control flow integrity.

I agree it makes Rust more attractive than C for WebAssembly.

But the original demos for WebAssembly were all in C, not Rust (games like Doom IIRC). The thing that made it attractive in the first place is that you could run existing code, e.g. image processing or machine learning in C/C++.
I really like this approach, it seems like it could eliminate a lot of complexity. I will have to try it.

but... "only Apple Developer code signing certificates are compatible with GateKeeper"

Does code-signing with an ad hoc certificate and no notarization provide any better experience than just unsigned code?

Do you get a friendlier message (c/f "malicious software: Move to Trash") when Gatekeeper blocks it?
I agree that data analysis needs a tool to persist data while iterating over certain functions. But in this vein, said tool should aim to try to prevent the user from having to run the load_data() function more than once. Not encourage it by allowing someone to permanently manipulate the output of load_data().
> If you assume the rate of progress is fixed (which it isn't, as we know, it accelerates), you can get some sense of how farfetched this idea is. 1300 years ago was the year 721 CE. There was no unified Japan then[1] (nor likely even a concept of "Japanese" identity as most imperial practices were modeled from China), nor was there a "Europe," a "Mexico," or a "South Africa." There certainly wasn't the notion of national identity in the modern sense, as such concepts would have been alien to village-dwellers living under feudal lords.

The rate of progress can decrease, and even go negative!

Consider the concepts of empire and identity from 700 years before your year 721 CE that were entirely replaced by smaller, less-advanced ones.

Though I would also be surprised if anything like Japan, China, the US, or Europe as we know them today are recognizable in 1300 years, whether because of advance or collapse (or both!).

But some traditions I expect to survive. They'd just be identified as part of whatever the new resulting cultures are that inherited them.

It's the consumer hardware industry as a whole. The combination of heavy competition on street price and a dearth of salient new features (my mid-tier TV from 2017 is effectively identical in features to its modern counterparts) has encouraged the manufacturers to supplement the one-time revenue from sales with ongoing revenue from advertising, spyware and kickbacks from the subscription streaming companies.

Always wondered why spiders have their own phobia defined. I have probably a mild form of arachnophobia, they just give me creeps especially when moving.

Your comment makes me wonder if it is indeed related to their relative intelligence to other insects.
Why would employers pay or reward two exact positions differently? Obviously if you don't get benefits, you are more on the outside of the company, and get to leave whenever you want without a problem. Full time employees can't just walk away like temp positions or gig workers, at least not without hurting reputation. The responsibilities of full-timers with all the benefits are way more than their temp counter-parts. At the end of the day it's just another type of exchange... a simple one where there is less commitment, and a complicated one with more commitments and responsibilities. Why force companies to only have one of those options, pretending people are so dumb they don't see what the exchange is? Most people understand, if they want benefits, you need to go through long process of hiring, and you become part of the company in a formal sense, and to many that is not appealing.
I'm glad we don't hear much about "censorship resistance" anymore. I (and many others I think) used to think that was a major feature of Bitcoin, but we've seen that the USG has no problem blacklisting addresses, shutting down exchanges, shutting down mixers, etc.
Non-pessimistic answer: it’s largely the only place the middle class parks its wealth. Besides that it would be stuff like 401k and Roth IRA which would also be exempt already.

It's like people don't understand how their wages impact the price of the goods they are producing.

The problem is domestic producers can't compete against the actual terrible jobs with poverty wages that foreign producers pay. The trade off is binary. Either you put tariffs on cheaper foreign goods and protect your economy from predatory countries, or you tolerate downward wage pressure. There is no middle ground. It's such a simple and established reliable dynamic that even politicians can understand it.

Our democracies have chosen cheap stuff and downward wage pressure, with the spoils going to the people who manage the capital flows. It's not a right/left thing either, as both sides cynically advocate and exploit globalization to inflate those capital flows.
I think this comment is coming from a very different place to my experience. Academic work is much less predictable than the sort of work you seem to be talking about.

Like we're doing maths that no one in the world has done before, and which is objectively kinda hard. When we notice a mistake a few days before a big conference deadline (which is actually what happened around the end of last year) its hard to imagine any process could be adequate to stop that happening.

Mistakes get found even in peer reviewed papers all the time, admittedly usually innocuous ones. You seem to be suggesting processes for vetting our internal stuff which are more stringent than actual peer review.
I'd politely disagree. The massive fall and recovery around March 2020 was easy to predict, so I did and made a handsome amount of money. I mean, if a small asteroid fell on an important trade route or if another serious pandemic began, would you seriously suggest to just hold the stocks?

Also I forgot to mention, one of the reasons I started doing leetcode was our team started a new project in python. Having never written a line of code in it, being a javascript developer for most of my career, I needed the shortest path to proficiency. Solving a bunch of leetcode questions in python also helped me get a grip on the language.
There are tendons going from your fingers all the way to your elbows. These tendons must traverse the narrowing that is your wrist. Tendons are surrounded by a sheath that lets them move freely in one dimension as they extend or contract. There's two sets of these tendons: one below and one above, for bending and extending your fingers, respectively. On the underside of your wrist the tendons for bending your fingers all get close together. Now when you rest your wrists as you type you put pressure on all those tendons and their sheaths, and this causes trouble by increasing friction -- eventually scarring.

Don't do it.
Ah, of course. Thanks for clarifying.
Thank you for being open-minded.

But that has nothing to do with GP's claim? GP was talking about your "net pay is below zero", meaning that the job itself pays negative. eg. you get paid $50/day but spent $55/day to earn it. Your comment seems to be about the minimum wage not being able to sustain a given living standard, eg. you get paid $50/day but you need to spend $55/day to survive.
"Keep in mind we don't have any income taxes here."

That's not really what the supporters of this bill think. They claim an excise type tax already exists and that it provides precedent for this one since income taxes are unconstitutional.
While I agree with your "emperor for a day" solution, I'd like to point out that wanting to use a device I paid for longer than two years after I bought it is not an idiosyncratic choice. Apple's last OS update for the device (iOS 5.1.1) was a mere 2 years after the device's initial release. This is IMO totally unreasonable. I have a PC next to me that's 20 years old which still functions and runs a very recent Linux distribution.
Yep, its great because I never feel bad about paying for tiny things by card. I remember how before this regulation the card companies were extracting so much profit (with a minimum fee) that it was often expensive for a convenience store to accept cards. Some had lower bounds of what you could pay by card, to keep the fees at a manageable level. Now it's not a problem, contactless payments are everywhere and for everything due to slim fees. The only downside is that credit card rewards are modest compared to the US
I was thinking about right to repair laws. What's the analog for schematics when you are talking about a software device? It's going to be something like source code or API documentation.
Maybe they should have to open iOS signing to all versions a device ever received when it becomes EOL? That also has implications with regards to preservation - if you can never install a given version of the OS again, then how can you trust it is properly preserved?
Apple Corp was a company started by the Beatles back in the 1960s. The later Beatles albums were released on Apple Records as well. This Apple was also a source of much legal litigation between the Fab Four and the Apple company being discussed in this post. See:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apple_Corps

They have both been successful business ventures and interestingly the original idea for the Beatles' Apple Corp is actually very close to what Cupertino's Apple is today electronics, music and movies and retail:

"On the founding of Apple John Lennon commented: "Our accountant came up and said 'We got this amount of money. Do you want to give it to the government or do something with it?' So we decided to play businessmen for a bit because we've got to run our own affairs now. So we've got this thing called 'Apple' which is going to be records, films, and electronics – which all tie up"
I can attest. Beginning of covid: stocks are crashing, going down 10% every day, I read the paper from that uni in London that says we are going to be alternating light and heavy lockdowns for the next 12-18months. More than a year of lockdown? How can the economy survive this? I’m like: sell, sell, sell. Right when I sold the market went up like crazy and has more than recovered now.
I did the same analysis. There's no 20+ year period where it lost money.

If you have feelings in response to my views, that's fine. Good, even. But I think it's hilarious that out of one side of your mouth you argue for respecting individuals and their views while at the same time trying to shut me up about my views because of your white fragility.

I don't think anybody's consciousness is "determined" by anything. But there are strong correlations. The language people speak, their religion, their customs, and many of their views are usually taken from the people around them growing up. That's the whole point of culture, after all: inter-generational transmission of non-genetic adaptation.

Some of that cultural heritages is good, some bad. All of it should be consciously examined. But conscious thought is small and slow compared to our vast cultural inheritance, so it's inevitable that many of people's beliefs and behaviors will be unexamined. More so if they are "frankly embarrassed" by anybody doing that examination in their presence.

I am not only a well-off white male. But I'm definitely those things, and they have had an influence. That's especially true in a society where well-off white men drew strong legal and cultural divisions between well-off white men and everybody else. Your unwillingness to examine whiteness is part of that culture.

So if you are seriously concerned about crimes against humanity (hint: you probably aren't) you should really take some time to look at the cultural and ideological factors behind America's wide array of those. A good place to start: Who were the perpetrators of those crimes? If you can sit with that question for as long as 30 seconds, you might be ready to read Kendi's "Stamped from the Beginning" or Loewen's "Sundown Towns".
> has resulted in apps as simple as text editors or todo apps needlessly becoming subscription services

I'm torn on this. Of course I prefer to pay once for software but that's not really realistic in today's world where iOS (or Android) development is rarely "Write once, post online, walk away". It's an ongoing process and there aren't very many apps out there that are "done" (even the big players). I understand that my Drafts subscription goes to pay the developer on an ongoing basis to support the product and add new features.
I agree that the paper's title is somewhat overblown, especially the prefix "Everything Old Is New Again". Specifically, "old" things like all VM runtimes being directly vulnerable to malicious code is not carried over by WA -- to the contrary, WA seems to have captial-S Solved this problem which is certainly an advance.

That said, it does highlight that memory-safe source languages and other program exploit mitigations are still important even in a webassembly sandbox. Personally I wasn't confused about this fact, but it does clarify this point for any that might think that WA == no more security problems in any context.

It does not include wages. These are “welfare/unemployment benefits” These are spikes. During the last recession it spiked into the teens. Before that it was lower. So, yeah, it’s a lot of money.
I haven't had a device brick, but every time Windows 10 runs an update on my old macbook I usually have to revert it. Well, Windows reverts it itself; but it involves multiple reboots and I have to handhold it by holding down "alt" all the time so it goes into the right OS. Very annoying. Especially when I just need the OS for a quick thing and Microsoft has decided that I need to wait 30 minutes to use an OS I touch every couple months or so.

I know the argument here would be "well keep your os up to date", but the point is that the updates themselves no longer work on this laptop for whatever reason; yet microsoft insists on breaking my laptop every tuesday for these "critical" fixes that I never really need.

I agree. However, the logistics of repairing a 200 lb machine that sits in a cramped closet is very different. Phones are measured in ounces/grams and are easy to transport.

Yes it is more efficient for you to buy a new washer. Delivery and haul-away are great upcharges (and worth it IMO). They will then repair and resell your old one at a much higher rate than phones are being reserviced.
But inflaiton is very low. yeah, CPI excludes stuff, but we're a long way from the 70s and 80s.
I assume that that was a point in regards with $100 mini-pc (think ARM-based one). Your 12-year old device likely has more performance comparing to those modern and cheap pc's.
Maybe they should stop wasting their time (and our money) and simply let us decide for ourselves whether or not we want to buy a device?
I may be missing what you mean by "taking advantage" but isn't that the point? Like taking advantage of a life raft after going overboard.
