The issue is not with the actual udev device event logic itself, but with all the other bits I talked about. Those are the things that would need to be duplicated.

>to force other distributions into using libsystemd, which would logically end with them also using systemd itself.

As I said elsewhere, libsystemd is just a library with some generic functions provided for convenience. This is like saying that installing python libraries on your system logically means that the PSF is trying to take over your system and forcibly rewrite everything in python, it doesn't make any sense.

Tiny library to work with transactions with very popular Node Postgresql driver: https://github.com/golergka/pg-tx I'm pretty proud of this one, although it's very tiny, because before I built it, I used a stack overflow answer that turned out to have a nasty bug, and it wasn't an easy one to figure out. I mean, since I just told you where to look, it's obvious, but before I realised that I handled transactions wrong, I spent a long, long time looking in other places.

In theory this can be verified by the developer though? Signing an app shouldn't (I haven't checked this in Google's case) change any integrity values for the app code itself, so the developer (though no one else) is still able to ensure Google wouldn't have tampered anything.

But your point makes sense.
They can do that already. The Play Store has root.
I think you have different definitions of small changes. Minimal training is enough to add a read only field to a structure for example.

But physics already limit the length of the ship, no? You can't make the current container ships any longer without also making them wider, so if you restrict the width you are also kind of restricting the length, at least with current technology.
built a couple of tools that I use very often:

- zefaker[0] - a CLI for generating (random) data and exporting to SQL, Excel, CSV and JSON. Has helped in generation of test databases and test data for various scenarios. Much more convenient than a tool tied to a specific framework. Also gave me a chance to learn how to work with the Groovy script engine.

- groupby[1] - A CLI tool to group files into directories, by year, month or even day. Originally started writing it in Rust but got annoyed when I kept losing fights against the Rust compiler/borrow-checker; eventually drove me to learn Go...

When you sell USDT on an exchange the money comes from another trader; this works as long as there are traders who want USDT. If you could redeem and destroy USDT from Tether the money would come from the reserve. If aggregate demand for USDT drops enough then it will matter.
There seems to be some confusion on the part of the author on memory capacities.

He said a “2mbit chip” then goes on the conflate this term with MB

If indeed he is talking about 2mbit DRAM ics then it’s most likely a 2mbit x 1 chip, which would require 8 to make 2MB of 8 bit wide memory.
Remember the seatbelt interlocks[1]? Maybe we need to bring that idea back. The mechanism back then was pretty crude, but it worked really well[2]. I'm sure that if we can build a self-driving car, we can also build one that won't go anywhere if there's nobody sitting behind the wheel.

The thing is, there are rules and explanations for everything, but they are not the kind of rules that would help a foreigner learn the language. They are the rules of languages and orthography being transformed as a result of waves of invasions, with each invader bringing their own language and changing the pronounciation of some of the native words, to be replaced by another invader doing the same.

This is not unique to English, but I do think that English is more eclectic than most other languages.

It's true. Car infrastructure gives people in far-flung low-density environments access to much more variety, competition, and productivity than they would otherwise have. The more attractive we make them, the more people live in them. The argument is that this is a backwards use of public funds.

On the other hand I don't think it's funds that are the problem here, there's plenty of money chasing more urban lifestyles. The limits are on the zoning and permitting for urban housing types in the locations that need them. Once there is capacity for people to urbanize, then we can talk tactics to nudge the reluctant.

If you just make the suburbs painful without upzoning the city, all you've done is decrease quality of life.
If distributed and decentralized it also runs across a common issue with courts - the ‘make me’ problem.

If someone buys product x from seller y, which is based on some decentralized ‘contract’ which is defacto enforced by every node of the network independently - and that product then produces a unjust outcome.

You go to court, but what if Y is just a node on the network? And everyone involved is outside the courts jurisdiction? what can an adverse court judgement actually accomplish? It can’t roll back the network activity to fix the smart contract without everyone’s consent - and that seems unlikely. It can declare product X illegal or fine seller Y - but if they have no way to enforce it, what’s the point?
I used it in a Data Curation course. Extremely difficult to learn and found it pretty useless. Entire class struggled with it. You can often use recursive SQL to some of what it does.

That's precisely what I'm thinking. Of course Iran, as a country with an economy of its own, can still function internally, and there's a black market, but there are also risks to that. Crypto certainly couldn't hit mainstream transactional usage under those conditions, and there would be safer places to keep your money legally & avoid the risk of having your assets frozen.

The window is closing rapidly on this option though. The more it becomes just another financial asset class with trillions in market cap, the harder that option becomes. However, if a country like the US ever decides it's a real threat to it's sovereign monetary policy, it could take that option anyway and simply bail out those impacted financially.

I think the most likely scenario is simply that it becomes regulated like any other part of the financial system. Heck thinks like CTR's SAR requirements. It will be difficult to ever get Bitcoin or others to their dream of decentralized currency unbound by governments when governments can make regulations controlling it's usage. The average business owner isn't going to risk their business and jail time trying to work outside those regulations.

That's what I mean though, all of that seems to be just wild guessing as to what will actually work and sending random emails out to random people who may or may not be able to fix it (Disclaimer: I don't know anything about this specific bug or the specific hardware). Wouldn't someone who actually owns the device and knows who to contact on the kernel side be a better person to lead the effort on that?
As with the rest of the industry, mostly the solution here is just better vetting and static checking etc.
What happened with that ruling? I just updated windows and it did a pretty hardcore dark pattern sell on making me install edge and make it my default browser.

As a real database language with ad-hoc-queries you're fine with SQL. Data-intensive graph analysis (the reason soufflé, souffle-lang.org, was developed) where you have a fixed set of deduction rules and change the database instance is an ideal playground for Datalog.

And soufflé is incredibly fast and for the usual benchmarks, like the transitive closure in comparison to recursive CTEs in SQL, blows everything out of the water. (my paper on that http://ceur-ws.org/Vol-2368/paper3.pdf, Figure 3)

I'm researching using Datalog as a general purpose programming language (specifically for use in microcontrollers, like Arduino) for my PhD and it can be very expressive.

If I put an extra bit of tinfoil on my hat, I might speculate this is actually encouraged by the CIA/NSA/FBI or similar parties.

Certainly, they now have the option of trying to force google into delivering modified apps to certain people. This situation changes the trust model for e.g. signal from "do you trust the app developer" to "do you trust google" against the pressures of hacking and legal requirement of cooperation. The fact that reproducible builds become _that much_ more difficult with this is extra bad. It takes away a rather effective "after the fact" detection mechanism for these kinds of abuses.

It seems obvious to me there are plenty of important app developers (like signal) that are less likely to bow before the long arm of the US than the google play store. Also because for a principled developer, their app is likely 100% of their business. Whereas for google, any app is only a small part of their business. Google simply has much less incentive to defend the users of a single app that the developer.

Hence, it seems to me that this situation is realistically going to lead to more ways for law enforcement to access secret data on your devices. Whether this is part of the motivation for this change or not, the effect seems unavoidable.

And stuff like "I lost £95,000 in a bank scam after my solicitor's email was hacked".[1] She managed to recover £57k after , but still lost £35k, not an insubstantial amount!

If anything, we need more protection against stuff like this. Sending money to the wrong account because your solicitor's email account was compromised is something that can happen to anyone, especially if it's someone you've been in regular contact with.

It seems the systems for dealing with fraud in the current banking system is already inadequate (although there is now a new "voluntary code" according to the article, no idea how well this works in practice), and for crypto it's woefully so.

At this point I am convinced this entire line of thought is just FUD.

> This means that Google can (or can be forced to) distribute backdoored versions of popular apps to targeted people. The app you are downloading may be different from the app your neighbour is downloading. And the app signature will be perfectly valid for both of them.

Google already controls the operating system, the installer, and the SDKs you used to develop your Android app in the first place. If they wanted to backdoor your app there are already plenty of opportunities to do so at multiple levels throughout this chain. Retaining your own signing keys does not eliminate this potential threat, so you still have to trust them. If you don't, then you should avoid using Android entirely.
> Contacted Binance Authorities immediately to block the hacker(s) fund transfers

I don't understand this part. I thought crypto was decentralised and so nobody controls anything. Yet, this suggests the opposite... some entitiy somewhere can shut you out on a whim.
The thing is... that's all the major languages. Even the ones that aren't necessarily like that, the culture / style ends up like that. The Python I'll write and pass review at work is vastly different than the Python I would like to write, because I know the next person isn't going to understand my brilliant __metaclass__ and nested decorator approach that cuts 10k of imperative bullshit down to 20 lines - or worse they will understand it enough to make a change that causes an unacceptable performance degradation and not enough to realize that they did it.

There's the famous line from GLS about Java:

> We were not out to win over the Lisp programmers; we were after the C++ programmers. We managed to drag a lot of them about halfway to Lisp.

And probably there's some equivalent idea about Go not trying to win over the Clojure programmers, but rather dragging the enterprise Python/Ruby/JS/Java programmers halfway to C.

That doesn't make any sense at all, even merely cryptographically (as you would need the signing key to merge the bundle back into a normal apk file and sign that new different file), and doesn't match the behaviors people talk about on various blogs and stack overflow.
WordPress's core APIs might be very well-supported, but most of their plugin ecosystem doesn't have such guarantees.

I recently tried to revive a 2014 backup of my local hackerspace's website so that I could staticize it, but it wouldn't look right even with the same PHP and MySQL versions, because many of the plugins stopped working.

I think I would have been better off scraping a copy of the site from Archive.org.

I think systemd brought a lot of good stuff to the table, but I also think it's a sprawling mess with poorly named and documented (as in there are behaviors implied by statements in different config directive sections that make it hard to reason about how stuff works).

I'm looking forward to the successor of systemd, or at a minimum, them rolling out config syntax 2.0 which breaks compatibility in an effort to make stuff more sanely named and documented.

I know that would cause huge churn. I know it will never happen. But I can dream, because I don't think anyone can look at how systemd configs define dependencies and say that they both understand the nuances and that those directives are are named sanely in a way that normal people can understand, and that's indicative of a lot of stuff with systemd.

Even though it was probably designed by some of the most knowledgeable people WRT init systems, it grew organically as they discovered new things they needed, and it needed a lot (which I think just goes to show how little was really understood by anyone about how to tightly couple these things).
This is a long list of complexities, but I'm not sure how they relate to udev/systemd. Yes, setting up aggregate interfaces, VPNs and fancy drive configurations is complex and can fail due to various delays. That's not a problem with udev reliability if an underlying system fails. We had the same issues before systemd/udev was a thing.

> cryptsetup hangs for swap devices because those get a key from /dev/random

You can choose urandom (third column of crypttab). Systemd doesn't enforce anything here.
so where does one draw the line between theft and just doing what the code allows? I wonder in the future crypto courts is the defense, "your honor, the code allowed me to call initialize again, they specifically didn't set it to true." going to fly? Or will you have to prove that the 10 mil you now have was intended to be given to you and your "victim" isn't a victim at all.
Can Yearn disrupt the $110T asset management industry?
I agree about the suggestion to look at transaction capacity, however:

- Bitcoin is operating at capacity and has shown unwillingness to adjust capacity, so the "kWh/tx" is valid for Bitcoin.

- Transaction fees increase the block reward, and as a consequence, the energy that can be used for mining before it becomes unprofitable. This is currently only about 10% of the total reward miners get for mining a block on the Bitcoin (BTC) blockchain, but it is something to consider. The corresponding part of the energy usage would, at a fixed fee, be proportional to transactions.
