I actually went on to read this whole series a few months ago in search of what was wrong with some networking configuration I had at home. To no fault of the author, I felt like I trully learned a ton about DNS but couldn't apply that knowledge to solve my problem since ubuntu has added more stuff on top of these.

I feel like the DNS situation is way too complicated, I really don't even know where the tunnel ends anymore. I resulted to using the GUI and hope it handles everything, which I hate because I want to understand what's happening under the hood. I felt powerless

You're getting downvoted, but this is correct. Most green veggies have high oxalates and high phytic acid (antinutrients) that actively prevent the absorption of certain nutrients. For example, Spinach has calcium oxalate that prevents the absorption of calcium (it binds to calcium instead and passes through your digestive system).

Unless those veggies are soaked & boiled, fermented, or sprouted, chances are they're adding little nutritional value to your diet and can even cause anemia or other issues if you're just eating them raw.
That's basically been my depression diet during this whole pandemic. :/

A lot of us at Sun in the Solaris org had no love for SPARC. Sun made a very typical and terrible mistake: it sat on its laurels. Sun created some awesome things then tried to lock-in and milk customers. Sun (and later Oracle) did this with SPARC and J2ME, among others. All the products they did this with are as good as dead today in terms of market share -- surprise!

Vendor lock-in is not great for the customer, but when you try to milk the customers, you end up risking taking them to the FYO point [0], and that is catastrophic for the vendor, and the vendor never sees it coming and can't help themselves.

Sitting on your laurels is not good. Don't do it. Innovate. Then innovate some more. Then never stop innovating.

One of the thing is that Western scientists takes the Wuhan lab's claims at face value, and builds their arguments based on Western standards. The BSL4 level has people claiming the lab is more like a dentist's office, which is troubling to hear.

Anyone following it for the past year would know there's too many photos of the Wuhan scientists handling the bats without gloves [1] and their hands covered with rashes from getting bitten by bats.

Also there's promotional videos [3][4] of the Wuhan scientists taking samples from an actual bat cave. Of course there would be transmission if things are done so shoddily.

Not to mention a Chinese researcher turned whistleblower wrote several papers on how the virus is manufactured in a lab setting. Obviously the bar to verify her claims is very high, as most people don't have the technical background to even read through her papers, but it shouldn't be that easily dismissed or brushed aside by experts [5][6]. An analogy is that even before arriving at the concentration camps, the Allies didn't know how horrible things were and had to video tape the liberation of the Jews as their conditions are just incomprehensible to people back at home.

this is good as a way around the setback that occurred in the last year. Far as I can see on the ground, the whole environmental movement, climate change, plastics, oceans etc, was steadily ramping up more and more... Greta etc.... everyone using reusable grocery bags was a highly visible thing and then the pandemic/covid hit and all of a sudden we're all using plastic bags by the ton again and people are littering masks all over the city etc. No more reusable shopping bags, a ton more waste because everyone is at home, etc etc. Big set back.
One thing to consider is that a federal security clearance is expensive. It makes a huge amount of sense to hire people who already have a clearance paid for by a federal employer. That saves $50-$80 thousand per headcount. A high quantity headcount of clearance holders also bolsters a contractor’s position in contract negotiation.

Every defense contractor does this. It’s stupid not to. My current employer isn’t even a defense contractor (as far as I know) and still hires thousands and thousands of veterans.
NLP is difficult, yes, but modern transformer architectures are able to interpret even Elon’s tweets. I think there’s a great deal of potential for a direct impact, particularly with Bitcoin’s high energy demand.
I also wouldn’t discount the potential for him to shift his focus onto energy markets and make more direct tweets.
When Tesla power banks properly come on line, you’ll need to be directly wired into his information flow as well.
Basically, yes! Get on it :))
Yeah, phx_gen_auth hasn't landed in main phoenix yet. As another poster mentioned, you should try https://github.com/aaronrenner/phx_gen_auth if you're going to use a generator. You might however get more mileage out of Programming Phoenix[1] where you'd learn what all of the files are for and how to build auth yourself. Plug and Ecto make it quite easy to do password auth. Guardian was popular in the past, but isn't widely used these days. You could use joken, or just roll it yourself.

Generally the docs for Elixir libraries are very good, but you have indeed found some poorly documented things. I might suggest scraping together something simple and then trying out parts of the ecosystem that offer something new, like channels, live_view, broadway, or something else that takes advantage of OTP. Otherwise you're only going to see the gaps compared to Django and none of the benefits.

Incorrect. The "CPU" is stopping and handling the fault. There is no background CPU from your perspective. In a cloud provider you are always in a virtual environment and using a vCPU which is constantly being preempted by the hypervisor.

You cannot DOS a hypervisor just by bogging down your virtualized kernel.

> Edit: Wow this got 2 downvotes in its first 2 minutes. Do you all think I'm wrong or something? The internet seems to have some references to exactly what I'm talking about. I'm quite certain I'm not wrong. Do you need proof?

Besides the general advice not to complain about downvotes, I think that you are "Do you need proof?" sounds aggrieved, even though asking for some more evidence than "I remember" and "The internet seems to have some references" is a perfectly reasonable response. At least for the current version (tested by downloading it just now), running `strings` on it produces nothing obviously nefarious at a glance (for example, no occurrences of the word "credit", or even "parent").
Estimation. Great if you can fix (a) who is working on it (b) the visual and technical design and (c) the scope and (d) other interruptions.

You can fix those things, have fully signed off design docs, have a CCN process for every little change etc. and watch everything grind to a halt while you deliver the wrong thing on time.

I’m not saying don’t estimate. Do! Have a plan and realise it won’t survive contact with reality.
Thanks for your effort! I really like the idea, it's similar to a more ambitious project I'm thinking of. And I do have questions

Is your board a giant two-dimensional array in memory?

Are your threads/kernels reading from this array and then writing back to it?

Do you do synchronization to make sure reads happen before the later rights?

Do you do any verification that your transition happen correctly?

Do you have an estimate for time spend in - transfer from global GPU memory to each kernel, calculations in the kernel, and time spent idling through synchronization (assuming you do it).
What a blast from the past!!
And also a dog will do what you ask it because you ask it and it wants too help you. My husky used to pull me on my bike. He knew when I got the bike and lead out that was what was happening and he wanted to do it. He certainly did not think that he had to do it and could easily have refused to let me put the harness on.

Good-sounding advice I have heard from professionals is a middle ground between your approach and the grandparent comments' "this is what the meal is" approach: Don't cook separate meals for your kids, but include at least one food in the meal the child will definitely eat, even if it's just bread, crackers, etc. (I have also heard "don't make dessert separate from the rest of the meal.") Also, if your kids are old enough, don't pre-portion the food or serve it to the kids; let them make their own plates. If they just eat bread and cheese, that's up to them - but it doesn't set up the idea that they are going to get something "special" if they don't like what's being offered.

Not being a parent, I have no idea whether this works. I'd be interested to hear whether anyone has tried an approach like this. I'm sure kids can find some way to defeat it no matter how good it sounds.

Personally, my biggest issue growing up was less pickiness (like a lot of kids, I went through a picky phase and emerged from it not picky), and more that my parents had the classic "finish what's on your plate" rule, which I think has definitely contributed to unhealthy eating habits in adulthood.
The Intel tool for this (running on MDS-80 "Blue Boxes" and ISIS-II operating system) was CONV86. I used CONV86 way back in 1983 to convert a fairly large (back then) 8080 assembly language code base to the IBM PC. Worked perfectly.

Compared to the CP/M box it replaced, the IBM PC was a speed demon.
Geeze, that's a blast from the past. You know it's funny- I used to periodically go looking for things to customize my desktop experience.

Yup. You typically first decode the JPEG into a raw image format in GPU memory & then that gets transferred to scanout HW that actually sends it to the display (e.g. via HDMI). The argument feels a bit weak though. At that point why not just use JPEG through your entire pipeline & save even more bandwidth. Of course you have to decompress if you’re modifying the image in any way so it doesn’t help there.

The point is that everyone knowing everyone's business is the "natural" state of human society. For most of human history all my neighbors would know who I'm banging. It doesn't take some sort of insanity to live like that.

And you've only addressed half my argument. I don't know who my neighbor is banging because of cell phone tracking. You don't know who your neighbor is banging. Nobody in this thread knows who their neighbor is banging. It's an entirely theoretical danger that has not yet come to pass.

Of course not. Only the managers are for lobying. ( which is corruption with a differrent name). It does help to hire people which can influence the government.

Ransomware isn't the only illegal activity that's greatly enabled by bitcoin. For better or worse, it has enabled stable online marketplaces that allowed one to buy safer/purer drugs, heavy weaponry, assassins, and false passports with less exposure and risk. That used to be the stuff of spy movies - now it's available to anyone who understands how to navigate the web enough to figure out onion addresses or FreeNet. IIUC it has even enabled new methods for money laundering with unique advantages and allowed nations to evade global sanctions with near impunity instead of having to rely on foreign powers to help.

I don't wish to speculate whether the effect on each of those niches is net positive or negative, but it's hard to argue that the real problem is cybersecurity when cryptocurrencies have had such significant effects on other fields for the same reasons that it's useful to ransomware operators. Yes, cybersecurity is a real problem, but that doesn't preclude cryptocurrencies from being a real problem either, nor does it preclude the former from sparking action against the latter - the world operates in parallel and we can tackle multiple problems (which means yes, cryptocurrencies will almost certainly be used as a distraction).
> obviously free apps are subsidised by paid apps

Subsidised for what exactly?

I'm not suggesting that hosting is free, but even free apps make Apple $99/yr in developer license fees.
This seems like a good argument for eating varying things over the day. E.g. you don't have to have greens with your breakfast, but it's probably good to eat them every so often for fiber.

And yes fermented greens like sauerkraut or kimchi may be better in many ways.

Maybe I'm too stupid to understand this but AFAIK YUV isn't exactly linear so you still need to convert to linear space (trichromatic linear color space like RGB/XYZ)... no?
Yeah, I'd like to see some documentation of that claim. Congress wrote the CFAA. The President probably had nothing to do with writing the CFAA -- he only signed it. We can't blame Presidents for all that they sign, especially when the convention is to veto very very few bills ever.
I can only imagine turning off the lights and sending people home in those moments where you have a late night family emergency.
It's scarcely necessary to "exploit" an operating system which essentially lacks any security model. If you are code running on Haiku, you have better than superuser privileges. Such code can (while the mere user cannot) do stuff like alter the internals of "read-only" system software, blow up the operating system internals or scribble all over the raw disk.

Back in the day Haiku didn't do the hostname check in its TLS code. Browser, command line tools, package updates, everything just ignored hostnames - so it would have apparently secure HTTPS fetches, but under the hood if you can interpose and hand Haiku a certificate you got for say your personal blog from Let's Encrypt, that checks out fine even though the name doesn't match - so you could impersonate Haiku's update servers. They did, after many years, fix that particular issue, but lots of similar bugs remain, you're primarily hoping nobody tries anything.
You're right. That is the wilderness of mirrors.

Unfortunately, it seems that we all do this. It's just easier to notice when other people are doing it!
These look very interesting, thanks!

There have been a number of instances here in .au where centralised location/health/etc data has been misused (stalking, checking out potential dates, domestic abuse or aiding domestic abusers) through inappropriate access. I doubt we're unique.

I'd argue that it doesn't need to be "Joe Q. Public", because companies are made up of Joe Q. Publics.
That wasn’t true for iTunes where copying MP3s was trivial. Of course theirs still piracy, but why did the DRM-free Witcher 3 make millions of dollars? Your argument just doesn’t hold up with real life data.

It's towards the bottom. Relevant paragraphs:

>Wray told the paper the bureau was more focused on getting those affected companies to cooperate with it in hopes of figuring out how to thwart future attacks.

“I don’t want to suggest that this is the norm, but there have been instances where we’ve even been able to work with our partners to identify the encryption keys, which then would enable a company to actually unlock their data — even without paying the ransom.”

You could do the YUV to RGB conversion operation in your pixel shaders in the GPU. That way you save a bit of bandwidth compared to uncompressed RGB.

It's been done. There are even GPUs that support this operation natively, so there's no additional overhead.

To me this is like saying we shouldn't make it hard to make money off stolen goods or even police the streets, the problem is my houses security isn't good enough. We should just focus on making houses more secure otherwise its open game and your fault if someone steals from you.

You know police in many states in the US get uploads of all pawn records and metal recycling to help track down and stop thieves from making money on stolen goods.

There isn't one root cause, there is an environment made up of multiple factors that allows bad behavior, one contributing factor is how cryptocurrency has enabled large ransom payments to bad actors over seas.

Software should be made more secure, but making it 100% secure is impossible. How much time and money should be spent on the software security side? My house isn't made like a fortress, its security is actually pretty minimal, it doesn't need to be better because laws are enforced and its not anarchy outside, its a low crime environment due to multiple levels of protection I don't even think about or manage directly all provided by the government. Part of those protections is making it more difficult for criminals to profit off crimes, though not impossible, it's just one aspect of a defense in depth.
Thank you. You've saved me bothering with TFA.
I certainly didn't mean to be complaining. I'm more just confused and trying to improve. I thought little stories of using linux/unix tools to peek inside early internet spyware was a guaranteed point of interest on HN, especially when other users are sharing similar stories. I was concerned that maybe I was wrong and my memory is wrong, but it's difficult to prove. If I'm sharing false information it would be nice to be corrected. But nevermind.

I know what I saw.

As a fairly experienced dev I prefer the technology to slap me hard on the cheek and not make me triple check things.

But Golang's concurrency is definitely a big step up from all the naked multithreading we had to endure and groom for decades -- that is unequivocally true!

I still find Erlang/Elixir's message passing paradigm superior though. Plus every "process" there (a fiber / green thread basically) is being transparently parallelized on another CPU core without you thinking about it at all.

As a personal scoreboard:

1. Erlang/Elixir's messages.

2. OCaml's "domain" effects (mutable shared state managed by multiple threads in a safe manner).

3. Golang's channels and messages.
> So I feel pretty strongly that what van Buren did is a massive abuse of authority and it warrants punishment. Yet so many people I usually agree with (SCOTUS judges, EFF, privacy lawyers) are all calling this a win.

Whether Van Buren deserves punishment is a separate question from whether the legal theory the DoJ sought to use to get him punished was proper.

> Am I missing something? To me, this ruling means that if a person is granted technical access to a computer system, then that person cannot be held criminally liable for anything they do with access to that system, even if the owner explicitly prohibits it.

No, it doesn't. This is not a finding that the activity is Constitutionally protected, or even non-criminal in any broad sense, but that it is not within the scope of the criminal provisions of the CFAA, which is a win, because the interpretation of the CFAA necessary to make it applicable is ludicrously broad.

> In other words, lets say I work at a gay hookup website and they grant me access to their production database as part of my job. If I start selling off information about user to third parties (say journalists), how can that be legal

It shouldn't be, but that doesn’t justify abusing the CFAA into a blank prosecutorial check.
