Managing vulnerabilities present in your websites can be painstaking if you don’t know the right solutions and correct methods. There are so many solutions and ways of doing things in the market.
No they haven't, it's simply one possible explanation. It's still be "best" (i.e. most convenient) theory. Besides, these "attacks" even happened in Washington DC. Was that Russia also? Who did it, how did they do it, and where are the weapons? Russia is the US's favorite boogeyman, and I'm sure they will "retaliate" through economic sanctions or military intervention. In all likelihood, the Havana Syndrome is a fabricated narrative and mere pretext for unilateral aggression.

Consider the last paraphraph of the article:

> "Most importantly, if and when more evidence is gathered, Putin, Nikolai Patrushev, and their officers must be held to account."

This is not "news", it is war propaganda. Besides, it's immensely hypocritical. When was American government and intelligence officials ever held to account for orchestrating and instigating violent aggression abroad?
I assume that containment is going to be serious business on these things even without factoring in attacks.
Not really. Most US expats who would want to renounce their citizenship, know to tell the consul at the renunciation appointment a vague "I have citizenship of country X now and I no longer identify with my American citizenship," and not, "I don’t want to file US taxes anymore."
A confluence of factors are present in the described episodes of people 'losing their minds'. The highlighted two were the harsh physical environment and relative social isolation/vacuum.

The harsh physical environment is, to my understanding, intractable. However, the social environment is less so. How are those headed to Antarctica trained with respect to mental health and 'working with a team' (e.g. communication) skills?

New Brain Implant Turns Visualized Letters into Text
When Apple's App store first came out consumers were sour about a decade of "crapp(s)" on Microsoft Windows.

That is, you pretty much expected to download software and have it trash your machine on a regular basis.

Things are better today, half of that is people realizing that it has to get better ("national security" today, but it's much bigger than national in scope) and the other half is people realizing it is possible to get better, and Apple's App store is one reason for that.

---

Improvements in HW and SW are what helped Microsoft, not the Microsoft store -- since Win 8 I think I've had a Windows machine where it was really possible to download third-party apps from the Microsoft store about 10% of machine*years. Part of that is that it was disabled on corporate laptops I've used, the other part is that the metadata database for the Microsoft store gets corrupted on a regular basis.

I've contacted Microsofties about that and what they tell me is that I should delete my account on my computer and then reinstall the account and spend or two work days reconfigurings all of the "normal" Windows apps that I used on an everyday basis (Firefox, Jetbrains, Creative Cloud, Python, ...) I tell them "there's a procedure to rebuild the metadata database because I've see the database get rebuilt when the six month OS updates happen" and they act as if they didn't hear anything.

For that matter Microsoft seems to be a counter-example to "the power of monopoly".

For instance there are several third-party gaming "app" stores for Windows such as Steam. One thing they all have in common is that they work.

When Win 8 came out DropBox and a number of imitators had apps that worked for Windows. There was one DropBox imitator that didn't work, and that was Microsoft's OneDrive. Office was jiggered to push you to save files to OneDrive, but if you were saving files to OneDrive you could frequently NOT BE ABLE TO SAVE FILES AT ALL!

To add insult to injury, this would also trigger harassment from Word the next time I open it about the files it didn't let me save. It's like this

I guess it proves that running an "app store" without brand awareness doesn't lead to industry dominance.

How about:

"Welcome to my very old antiquarian bookshop, Daniel"

versus:

"This is a place of mystery, Daniel, a sanctuary. Every book, every volume you see here, has a soul. The soul of the person who wrote it and of those who read it and lived and dreamed with it. Every time a book changes hands, every time someone runs his eyes down its pages, its spirit grows and strengthens. This place was already ancient when my father brought me here for the first time, many years ago. Perhaps as old as the city itself. Nobody knows for certain how long it has existed, or who created it. I will tell you what my father told me, though. When a library disappears, or a bookshop closes down, when a book is consigned to oblivion, those of us who know this place, its guardians, make sure that it gets here. In this place, books no longer remembered by anyone, books that are lost in time, live forever, waiting for the day when they will reach a new reader's hands. In the shop we buy and sell them, but in truth books have no owner. Every book you here has been somebody's best friend. Now they only have us, Daniel. Do you think you'll be able to keep
such a secret?"
Permissioned blockchains can be useful in trade finance and international trade. Financial transactions across borders can be delayed to allow for clearance and settlement between several institutions, which requires multiple banking systems to verify the integrity of transaction and collect a lot of paper trail. There are several competing projects solving for that problem right now.
But do people care?

We've know about this for decades. There have been studies on groups of people with high exposure, like that town in WV. We know this stuff is harmful, yet the majority public doesn't really care. There won't be protests or civic involvement of any kind at a large enough scale to make a difference. I fear this will be one of many issues that just gets ignored.

Nope. SF Symbols is quite useful (for native apps). There are libraries of things like ISO symbols, though. Here's one that I have used: https://github.com/tabler/tabler-icons
I'm sorry if these are dumb questions, I'd be totally fine with some pointers in the right directions if you don't want to waste your time :)

I'm under the impression that the implementation is based on algebraic effects. Does that include extending the language in a way that lets users define their own effects & handlers?

Also, how's the performance? Last time I looked this stuff up (and played around with Eff), which was quite a while ago, I was told that regular usage of effects may impact performance quite noticeably.
> You get better over time if you intentionally practice improvement.

Are there more effective techniques than just typing? I mean like measured techniques for identifying and improving problematic aspects of typing rather than just going at it repeatedly in the hopes that I'll improve overall?
I think it meant uppercase .C instead of lowercase .c as a C++ extension. Indeed it's pretty rare.

I also think you are undercharging for a very useful product.

The utility of what you are offering is significant. If I'm a 'cost conscious' startup and I need CSV upload functionality then I either write the functionality myself (30+ hours of dev time + ongoing maintenance?) or I use your service.

If the product works as advertised, you could charge $19/month for a basic plan and that will always be better value than 30+ hrs of time a developer will have to put into the CSV problem with all its annoying edge cases.

My suggestion is to modify the free plan such that users can upload 10k+ rows per upload, but only 20-30 times per month. Then your 'cost conscious' startup with only 5 customers can test your solution, know that it works for non-trivial amounts of data, and happily fork out $19/month when they hit 20+ customers a month and become less 'cost conscious'.

Bitcoin didn't go 5x just because of him. It was already on an upward trajectory, breaking new all-time-highs, and around 30k, if I remember correctly, when he made the announcement that Tesla bought bitcoin and is accepting it.

It did jump up 6% the day he announced Tesla was accepting bitcoin, but he effectively undid all of that (and more, it went down around 12%) yesterday, as well as add more seeming legitimacy to the 'bitcoin is bad for the environment' line that the media has been pushing hard since it started shooting up again (they didn't give a shit when its price was low, even though not much has changed for energy use between then and now).

Some people aren't just looking to make a quick buck, they want to see crypto become a more stable asset class, not just another pump and dump scheme (plenty of shitty alt-coins for pump and dump schemes). This one tweet put a lot more uncertainty into that (it shouldn't have, but it did), especially if it triggers a wave of 'well bitcoin is bad for the environment, so we better get out' from other entities.

Also how would he not know bitcoin's energy usage before the first announcement? If he had done any due diligence at all he would have known this, so either they didn't do any research or it's a bullshit scapegoat to cover up the real reason they're backing out.

In the long run I think Bitcoin will survive this, but in the short term it could prematurely kill (or at least significantly stunt) this current bull run and we could already be back on track for the next multi-year bear market, which I've been through twice now with bitcoin, and it sucks (good for accumulating bitcoin on the cheap though).

Your local jewish accountant huh, yeah you are an asshole.
I think every good programmer has these rules of thumb, from most important to less important:

1. Make it so you'll understand it in 2 minutes after being away for a year. Positive side effect: it's very readable for your colleagues.

2. Make it brief.

3. Make it fast.

4. Make it pretty (although often times readable + brief code is pretty but obviously it's subjective).
Think of an industry e.g. like banking, where the different participants know who each other are but don't fully trust each other. Presuming each participant controls one replica in the system, then using BFT algorithms you can ensure that so long as less than a third of the participants are malicious it is not possible to perform such an attack.
>an irrevocable proof of record (immutability with cryptographic proof)

Which ignores and can even make worse the problem of bad data at the entry point. This is what effectively killed the entire set of use cases related to supply chain provenance.
That sounds like a disappointing attitude from their legal department, but if it's a big company I can see that they don't want to get into those sorts of discussions.

Only you will know the stakes and what you're willing to risk; most judges in the UK are fairly pro-employee and take a dim view of big corporations overreaching their rights (but please don't take this as absolute fact!). If you're not a senior employee and you're doing something like I mentioned in my previous comment (making a game in your spare time), I would personally not worry.

If it's your big idea for your future business and you want to work on it in evenings and weekends, then I would want to be rather more cautious.

Italy fines Google $123M for excluding Enel e-car app from Android Auto
My understanding is as follows: the Dutch shell company is a parent (holding) company which basically holds shares in a subsidiary. If the holding company owns more than 95% of the shares of its subsidiary it acts as a single fiscal unit, allowing it to be taxed as one. Now, if the parental company has multiple subsidiaries it enables the holding to settle costs of the one, with the profits of the other.

But, the main thing that the Dutch tax system enable, is that you can sell the shares of a subsidiary and hold the profits within the parental company (for the purpose of re-investing) without the need to pay taxes. This enables companies to quickly 'move' subsidiaries around the world without any tax consequences.

This opens up an enormous amount of opportunity for creative tax lawyers who thrive in this grey area. International tax rules are so complex and the stakes so high that in the end they can just negotiate an 'acceptable' tax rate on a government level. Where, in the end, if the government does not agree, they can just 'move' their business somewhere else.

Is this something that happens because someone thinks C/C++ is one language? I often see this single mythical language referred to in job postings, blog posts from folks with a range of experience in the field, and even in neophytes who got terrible information from their Java instructor at university. But I don't think I've ever come across it in an actual codebase.

I have seen .cc for C++ and it annoys me, but seems rather common.
See my answer above - in cases where the participants are all known you can use BFT algorithms to prevent attacks so long as less than a third of the replicas are malicious.

There have been many similar talks in the past decades. At some point Unladen Swallow was presented as "Google's project" (which is quite exaggerated).

It looks more like Microsoft has JIT envy now that Instagram and others have open sourced (quite restricted) JIT projects and has to show presence again.

I think every CPython JIT project will be full of corner cases in both performance and behavior, so it will add to the growing database of weird Python behavior that users have to memorize.

That requires trusting one authority. You can do better - there are distributed algorithms that can prevent malicious behaviour from compromising the system so long as less than a third of the participants are malicious.
Hello sadiq, I have some more general questions for you:

As understand that currently, the situation is analogous to Python. The GIL allows for process based concurrency, with the well known disadvantage regarding memory consumption. Also, my guess is that OCaml relies library based solutions at the moment?

1) What does the introduction of MultiCore potential mean for Ocaml? Will Ocaml be a much better fit to run a webserver backend? Could you perhaps give a comparison to other programming languages?

2) How will Ocaml stand out with Multicore in the PL world, and what solutions would be it uniquely suited for?

3) What tools are going to be present to deal with bugs introduced by your new runtime e.g. race conditions?

4) If one wants to have a go at Multicore and play around with it, where/how do I start?

Many thanks!
this is because they think the courts are politicized, not because the judiciary takes input from the government. In fact there has been a constant conflict between judges and government for the last 30 years.
Interestingly, the blog post doesn't mention the actual problem that's the source of the MSVC behaviour: not all filesystems are case-sensitive.

So if you care about your project being able to be checked out on Windows, please refrain from using .C extension for C++ files. I've seen a toy language repo that used "something.s" for the test source file and "something.S" for the part of the language runtime (or something like this, don't quite remember), and checking it out on Windows was great fun: git declares that the working directory at the same time is both dirty and has no changes in files.

Depending where you are, misadventure isn't really a euphemism. In England:

Suicide means the deceased did something to end their life, and had the intention of ending their life when they did it.

Misadventure means the deceased did a risky thing and died, but did not have the intention of dying when they did it.

Accident means the deceased was doing a normal activity and died.

Definitions of the manner of death can be nice and clear on paper, but are much harder to apply to the situations of a person's death, so there's lots of overlap between suicide and misadventure. It's often difficult to show intent, and so those deaths sometimes get called misadventure, or they have a narrative conclusion.

what exactly is a cyberdeck (outside of Neuromancer)?
I think you overestimate what it takes. I've done hard things that took dedication before, for instance I'm a national champion slot car racer, and I've lost over 150lbs. The most important step in accomplishing those things was putting in the time and effort to do them. You also overestimate how smart you need to be to program a game, which I've also done before. What people usually call "talent" is not some innate ability but rather the result of thousands of hours of learning and practicing. Which isn't to say that innate advantages don't exist, but without hard work and dedication they will always be surpassed by someone who put the effort in.
