There are two risk classes; reused passwords exposed by a breach, and targeted attacks (phishing, dictionary/brute-force attacks, etc). The first is easiest to detect by finding password dumps and by observing login attempts. Targeted attacks are best prevented by 2FA. There never was any middle ground where password rotation improved security. For any high security systems worried about insider risk or espionage they should have been using multi-factor authentication all along.
My first reaction was to agree with you. Then I considered the possibility that the reassuring notion of "America is doing just fine" may actually be the propaganda.

It might reduce attacks but no operating system is bulletproof and attackers devote more resources to the operating system with more market share. If all infrastructure running on windows changed to linux, then linux would be the new target.

Clickhouse/Druid/Pinot are all columnstores/column-oriented databases. Clickhouse is a relational engine while Druid/Pinot are a different (and older) design using heavy indexing and pre-aggregation. All of them store table data as per-column segments though which is a defining feature leading to high compression and I/O performance.

There's also the badly named wide-column database type like Cassandra, but this is really just advanced or nested key/value rather than what people would consider "columns".
I can't believe it.
This. ExUSSR law enforcement isn't bothered about what happens on the other side of the globe: incompatible legal systems, language barrier, bureaucracy etc. However, if DarkSide are in Belarus and attack Russian companies, they can easily be extradited etc. Also there's decades-old solidarity among exUSSR developers like a lot of software has free or cheaper licences for exUSSR citizens due to lower purchasing power
If you are interested in something really simplistic to get into and slightly related, check out SUBLEQ and High Level Subleq. The C code can be like a one-liner if you want. (Although if you handle a few basic things with output buffering and spread it out a little its more like 13 lines https://github.com/runvnc/sq/blob/master/sq.c). This one might work better, don't remember https://github.com/runvnc/sq/blob/master/sq2.c

It's not even about that. It's just about not wasting an opportunity to make money. Some stocks go through cycles: growth, then correction, then growth again. Shorting stock during market corrections helps you maximize your profits.

I mean, I can imagine Michael Burry cashing $200M profits when Tesla price goes down, and then switching sides and going long. The most important thing in the stock markets is to remain rational. Don't let your personal like or dislike of Elon Musk stop you from making money.

And btw: since March 31st Tesla stock price fell down about $100
In many (most?) other languages compounds / blocks always introduce a scope. E.g. in C++ (or Java)

try { /* new scope */ }
catch (FooException &foo) { /* another scope */ }

Python is probably one of not that many languages where this is not the case.
Is dwell time a meaningful/valuable metric to track? I consistently open links in tabs I keep open for a long time and I suspect other people might do the same. Like you said, it's really hard to interpret this data, so why bother trying?

I think you're right about the ease of adoption aspect. My take is that we do it because we've always done it - primarily because the cost/benefit ratio has justified it. We've normalized the idea that it's not only acceptable but also prudent to study and analyze the detailed behavior of end-users. The consensus seems to be that not adding end-user tracking is similar to "leaving money on the table".

On reflection, I'm starting to feel that it's perhaps not an acceptable set of norms to accept without a justified need. Some metrics seem almost voyeuristic and most imply an approach to content marketing that only snake-oil salesmen should consider. The use of analytics itself implies a certain potential for inauthentic or intentionally manipulative content. Optimizing content to have as much mass-appeal as possible is perhaps more problematic than we initially thought.

Maybe it's time we rethink the norm in the first place. Perhaps it's better to not know everything.

Take a look at the "Common Sense Skeptic" youtube channel. Tesla's purchase of Solar City is a scandal on itself, it was never a play on entering the solar roof business. It was just a bail out using Tesla's shareholders money to save Musks and his business partners (which were Musks cousins btw) investments. This channel also destroys all the hype surrounding Starship, it's a joy to watch.
Using “real” in a company name making virtual reality products is entirely understandable given “real” is exactly the type of jargon people use when describing how effective and immersive a particular product in VR is.

Yes, Epic had a game called Unreal, but so many games exist using common terms. It would be ridiculous if every company went after every dictionary term like this. It’s hard enough naming things as it is and the problem is only going to get worse.

All cases like these do is harm smaller projects and start ups who don’t have the resources to fight.

Well, I don’t know which country you refer to but it’s not the case in France and lots of European countries where healthcare is totally free.

Yes you have to wait months for a scheduled PET scan or an MRI but you also can have access to one as soon as you enter the hospital as long as the medical team think it may save your life. It’s just ressource planning. I know it because it saved my life twice and for 0.00€.

edit : Just to be clear, I’m not writing this as « US bashing » but to help you consider that free and effective healthcare is totally possible and that working models already exists around the world. Free healthcare IS a solved problem.
I read a convincing article a while back about these incidents in Cuba, by a neurologist saying this is all totally consistent with stress triggered neurologic incidents, and the microwave/sonic weapon stuff was all extraordinary claims with little evidence.

The first case listed here just says "headaches and sleep trouble," buddy, I have that twice a week. I'm no expert but I'm inclined to believe the intelligence apparatus is on some overeager pattern matching.
That's legit, not whataboutism.

But if you look at how the money is spent, they are definitely not the same thing.

It's younger than the web but much older than the current bunch of frontend technologies. JavaFx is from 2008 [1]

Anyway, that's not very important.

What web apps never had is a visual app builder as popular as the first Visual Basic for Windows 3. We had some tools like that (example Jwt [2]) but none of them got a critical mass of users. Maybe it's difficult to match Visual Basic's success because Microsoft controlled the tool, the operating system and the language. If this is the case the only current candidate is Google, because of Chrome. They are investing on Flutter and Dart now but making them prosper on the web looks like a uphill battle. Much easier on Android.

The reason the government wants FIPS is that it's been verified to be secure according to the national agencies. Enforcing that that security and then putting all if your sensitive traffic in the hands of one key on one box directly contradicts the security requirements FIPS is intended to ensure.

I don't expect the government to have different departments work together around this stuff, but knowing the technical details, the end result is still impractical and stupid. The end result of stupid rules and requirements is that the real world application of technology is stupid, as we have probably all experienced one way or another during our lives.

Just because there's a real business need for something, doesn't stop that from being silly. Correcting the silliness is clearly not a technological challenge, we'll have to wait for politicians and managers to do that, but the end result is still a confusing and contradictory mess.

From what I remember, it's less of an "intense debate" over the political issues themselves, and more "how do we define and serve a world map in a non-political way, in areas of the world where the map itself is political" like Kashmir, Israel/Palestine, and a bunch of other places that most people who don't live there haven't heard of.

I've been using Fish as my primary shell for years. The vast majority of the time those Stack Overflow answers written for Bash work as written in Fish with no changes.

Occasionally you'll need to write the command substitution or command chaining in a different way, but once you get over the initial learning curve this is easy and pretty mechanical.

Very rarely I find some command that just doesn't work in Fish, in those instances it's easy enough to open the bash shell or throw it into a script file.
That immediately jumped out at me as well as a basic geopolitical error.

Nonetheless:

- The list of countries is taken from the malware. It is not speculation.

- The fact that a number of major malware strains do not install on machines with Russian and various other Eastern European localisation settings is an objective fact as anyone in the malware field can tell you.

These organisations exist to make money and "the heat" is a detriment to making money. These groups are able to operate with impunity because they take such drastic steps to not anger the local authorities(legitimate and illegitimate). As other commentators have pointed out, these list of countries are likely at the behest of those people, who have various reasons for choosing them. If interested, you can google about a fellow named Paunch if you want to understand the consequences of shitting where you eat as a Russian "cybercriminal".

From a purely money-making perspective, it's a lot more effective to fly under the radar and infect companies far away from them. The ROI simply isn't there for these groups to infect machines closer to home.

That is, of course, until you do something like this, which was clearly and obviously a massive fuck up.

> I think they will be very successful and become a big, dominant car maker.

I'm not sure really. They keep throwing the entire company at insanely poorly leveraged bets with unfulfilled promises. (Cybertruck is on track to be delivered at a longer timeframe than any car tesla has ever made, they haven't even built the factory or unveiled the final design, same for Semi and Roadster, the new Model S was supposed to be shipping in..uh.. March?) I think they are scaled too big to breathe and survive, eventually being bought in a post-Elon world by a Ford, GM, or possibly Google or Apple.
If you are building software that depends on a SQL database, always specify your encodings (and explicitly name your indexes)! I previously built an enterprise product that didn't specify our string encodings in its initial migration and spent years fielding support tickets and dealing with the hell of making migrations that could support the default encodings across platforms until we could justify copying the whole column.

Postgres largely avoids this problem by using utf8 as the default pretty much everywhere, but MySQL definitely has platforms that ship with defaults as latin1.
I don't follow. I didn't say anything about whether the US has social classes, I stated that US usage of the phrase "middle class" tends to be about access to goods and services.

Blockchain Explained with a Fairy Tale
You're not understanding my point. I'm saying that Spotify is actually closer to the model you decry than to a subscription service of which you approve. An example of a subscription service would be Netflix. When I pay for Netflix, I get to watch Netflix. When I stop paying for Netflix, I don't get to watch Netflix anymore.

Spotify is different. With Spotify, when I stop paying for Spotify I still get to listen to the music. But I lose the basic functionality of the app, like the ability to save songs to disk, or to skip tracks. To me, this seems like the exact model you're saying is bad. They have removed basic functionality in order to push a subscription.
The rules aren't that clear either. For example, defensive driving classes emphasize that there are rules that specify which car has right of way (e.g., at an all-way stop sign), but just because you have the right of way doesn't mean that you should proceed. If another driver disregards your right of way, it's your legal obligation to stop and avoid a crash - you can't blame the crash on the other driver.

Also, just because the speed limit sign says 55mph, it doesn't mean that you can always drive at 55mph - there's always an implicit rule that you must consider current road conditions. For example, if you're doing 55 while the highway is covered with ice or there's zero visibility due to fog, a cop can still pull you over for reckless driving.

Then, there are clear rules that change suddenly due to geography. For example, in NY State, you can turn right at a red light after coming to a full stop, unless posted otherwise... except within the boundaries of NY City. And NYC has a default speed limit of 25mph, generally slower than in neighboring counties. Rules can also change according to time. Can a self-driving car understand a sign that says "School Zone - Speed limit 15 when light flashing"?
I've noticed this as well. I suspect that my watching video news stories related to China (and international news) probably caused this, but I find it bizarre that Youtube correlated my interest in China (and international) news with any interest I would have in Chinese state-run media channels.

As someone who used to 'self-medicate'[1] my (then-undiagnosed) ADHD with breathing techniques and Yoga – mostly Hatha and Kundalini Yoga – for 15 years I am - personally - very skeptic of these claims.

Don't get me wrong, I still love breathing techniques and Yoga and practice both on a daily basis.

But I DON'T see how stimulating your nervous system this way will do what ADHD medication actually does: Inhibit dopamine/norephedrine reuptake / increase dopamine/norephedrine secretion.

In other words, in my n-equals-one world, the difference the right medication has made in managing ADHD has been an order of magnitude greater compared to regular, intense and consistent breathing, Yoga and meditation.

I think the major governments of the world have more evidence they are not sharing. Russia is one of the few countries in the world that you can't get a wanted criminal out of makes it very likely they are the ones as otherwise there have been enough high profile attacks that something would have been done.

If Afghanistan was harboring criminals like this the US would invoke NATO and send the military. However Russia is a bit too big for the US to be willing to tangle with.
They wouldn’t need leverage over Google, only over the companies (or the approvals and regulations that govern the companies) that take the arial photos that Google uses.

It seems like it’s been a hidden inflation, where up until now, prices haven’t changed to reflect scarcity. In turn, that increases demand, which creates a resale/arbitrage market which reduces supply. As more people recognize that we’re in this weird era of everything being cheap but scarce, they buy more, adding to the scarcity.

Is there a hard landing resolution to this that we should be worried about?
One important step is finding someone who will listen and reflect with you with honesty and rigorous compassion.

That is hard to get from a forum of even the kindest of internet strangers.

Some do.

As an MIT grad, I worry about the opposite problem: that people will be too scared/angry to see my flaws that we won’t be able to meaningfully connect and collaborate. It has happened — leaving me feeling lonely and useless.
