People overestimate criminals. The ones that get caught, especially.

What would you do if you were a foreign intelligence service? Participate in attacks yourself?

No! You would drop hints and supply tools sideways to sloppy groups of idiots enabling them to be destructive, maybe acquiring some funds, and keeping your hands as clean as possible. Then when it comes out that "elite russian hackers" were incompetent idiots, it makes people think the claims of your connection to the crimes are even less likely.

Tricks and disinformation are the name of the game.

If you actually were elite, you would hide and practice and save your actual actions for critical moments and not show your hand for a few million dollars. Or you'd go into security consulting which is a far safer, more profitable, and overall smarter thing to do.
Then you have two problems...
"warranty void if opened" is also illegal in most consumer cases in the US, as common as it is for companies to apply this policy without being challenged on it, and certainly in many other countries. Of course, they are certainly allowed to refuse to service warranty claims where a third-party part or repair caused the problem.

Source: https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/blogs/business-blog/2018/04/... (blog post on the official FTC site - look at the third bullet point in their examples)

Not mentioned in the above source, but the burden of proof that the third-party part or repair caused the problem is on the warrantor, not the consumer.
Tabula works.

So does printing the document to a file and Perl.
I am not sure I agree. The topic of intellectual property and trade secrets in software, or if IP laws should even apply, is probably another discussion entirely. However, there's no reason to trivialize it to cutthroat copy and pasted code. If Radon was a state actor, I am unsure HN would be responding the same way here.

Obviously, knowledge learned from mistakes or design discussions from one's time at another company is no issue. The intern seemed to have worked on a project very limited in scope to the overall product (package management). It is quite possible the bells and whistles that Replit's CEO is claiming that is copied are taken from design documents made by someone else - which is not at all learnings from working around a particular domain. In my opinion, this might actually be problematic. I don't think Radon was being malicious here, but you might also want to consider that Radon is a fresh graduate and might not have fully considered the implications of where it is acceptable for him to draw designs from.
You can create sockets and fifos anywhere. Device nodes are the only special ones which are generally confined to specific locations.

A lot of these prototypes aren't that closely guarded. As a run-of-the-mill employee at Google I ended up with a bunch of random pre-production Androids and IOT devices from the dogfood program. You were supposed to give them back most people I know didn't bother -- Google isn't a very threatening employer -- and I think I even accidentally gave some of them away with other old electronics when I moved.

There was also a room full of to-be-recycled electronics in 42. It was open to employees so they could recycle personal stuff but it was absolutely full of (I assume non-confidential) prototypes including stuff that looked like it was from Google X. I was too scared to take any of this stuff but was really tempted to grab the carbon fiber gliders and weird nest devices.
Senior gang members arrested after global sting targeting organised crime
You are being facetious, but there was in fact a decades-long (maybe centuries-long) debate within the Spanish Royal Academy as to whether the correct spelling for the country should be "Mejico" rather than "Mexico". In some places even today a spelling of "Mejico" is used (not in Mexico itself, of course), reflecting the previous advice given by the Academy.

It wasn't until the late 20th century that the Royal Academy finally conceded that the standard spelling of Mexico should be with an X. This accommodation, however, was made begrudgingly, as you can tell perhaps by reading between the lines of their official position on the matter:

https://www.rae.es/dpd/M%C3%A9xico

https://www.rae.es/dpd/Texas

Spanish spelling is standardized in a way that is almost unimaginable in the English-speaking world today. The driving institution behind this standardization is the Royal Academy, which has influence not only in Spain, but also throughout Latin America. It would not be unprecedented at all for a city or province to change the spelling of its name in order to conform to Spanish's universal spelling rules.
Churchill has an interesting reputation.

He was a failed military commander pre-PM, even ridiculed after the failed landing at Gallipoli:

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

Yet we most remember him as a fierce leader from the top, and he did so while under extreme stress due to U-boat attacks strangling shipping to Britain, and puzzlement from the German alien-level advanced technology (V-2 hypersonic ballistic missiles, long-range radio navigation, etc.)

(His scientific advisor told him the above technologies were disinformation, and couldn't be real.)

It's important to realize that while French and British public opinion became soft on the value of their culture and nationhood, Churchill knew better. Just like the pernicious impact of cultural Marxism today in the US, which must be fought as a war on every front.

Plus, recent political history and the kinds of benefits delivered by political actors suggest several things: hacking's taken on a special significance as wielded by state actors, there's a considerable amount of delegation to shall we say less expert practitioners who are only loosely controlled, and there's a great deal of effort put forth to deny ANYTHING of the sort ever goes on, ever ever.

To me all this seems par for the course. There's nothing unusual about any of it. It's what you would expect. It's basically like distributed stochastic terrorism, indirectly/loosely driven by a more capable state actor with specific intent to establish deniability.

Not even plausible deniability. Just some convenient way to say 'Nyet! And we are VERY OFFENDED that you would even suggest such a thing!'.

Just the fortunes of war, really.
Not a fan of getting involved on github. There are reasons we use gitlab and it's mainly to avoid the daily github drama and noise.

The biggest obstacle here is to get everyone else to buy in, mainly the librarians....who I'm honestly not sure how to hunt down for a conversation. Core devs probably don't want to deal with anything major/new until v7 next year at this point.
It would obviously be useless if they released the spec for it but you couldn't use it to connect to existing FaceTime devices.

I use this technique for my work writing, I first read about it as "vomit draft". When you give yourself permission to write a truly vomitous first draft, man it's easier. Even if you completely rewrite it, it's a fantastic way to get your thoughts in order.
Now I remember.

We actually had one of those things, at the company I worked for. It was a monster, and had this tiny little screen, and a couple of 8" drives.
It might be incorrect, but it isn’t disingenuous. No one is trying to lie or hide or be insincere.
Allegedly, teaching others is the surest path out of burnout. Not clear how this works; some sort of shift in your perception to give them freshness. I have found that this works ok

A very lame excuse.
For me it was the license that made me not pick it: https://github.com/getpelican/pelican/issues/1397.

A while ago I was picking a new SSG and I would have preferred something written in Python so I can hack on it more easily. I ended up moving on because of the license.

I am now very happily using Hugo.
For discussions and community, Stack Exchange seems to be rather good for everything except code. That includes food, movies, games, and religion. Religion is especially nice because the Q&A format forces people to cite scripture rather than say something someone made up.

I'm looking for something mobile development related if any. Reddit is really good, but yeah, the snide remarks really puts me off. Subreddits feel a tad defensive, which makes it hard to evaluate new technology.
This is pretty cool.

For about two to three years now, I've leaned very heavily into analog video signals as a hobby. It culminated into me making not just a software PAL decoder, but my own fully compliant PAL "graphics card" with an FPGA and analog circuitry. PAL might be one of the most complicated analog video signals next to SECAM (though PAL is not that far from NTSC if you understand it well already), and I wanted to really understand every step in it, including all of the math.

I of course test everything with the once ubiquitous[1] PM5544 test pattern, which is described in noticeable detail here in case you were every wondering why it looks the way it does: https://web.archive.org/web/20190907170308/http://www.radios...

It's satisfying to really understand analog TV now. I watched a lot of TV through my life, and always had the thought that while I use it so much, I had no good idea how the TV in front of me actually worked. It's also a bit bittersweet, because while generating NTSC or PAL is still useful in existing composite video situations (the motivator for the PAL graphics card was another project where I needed composite output), there are almost no broadcasts left, and it seems rather outdated in general.

One day I might make a website that explains how NTSC and PAL work in detailed but understandable way, but I keep putting it off indefinitely.

[1] If you are from Europe or other PAL countries. In the US, I think simple SMTPE color bars were more common, and a lot of the elements in the PM5544 test card don't matter for NTSC.
I encountered this myself. I was hit by a browse-and-get-owned zero day. I found out one day later from a blog post, where an anonymous person had hacked the command and control server and wiped the hacker's database in a remarkably brief time. Clearly, their skills were not on par.

The responsible vulnerability was in Java applets, which I had disabled for security reasons. But Java secretly re-enabled itself after updating. I kept Java uninstalled for a long time after that.
>Not to be a prick but I doubt Go users will like this, they tend to prefer simple things to more complex things.

I also saw that yesterday. What's worse, the only way to expand the comments hidden behind that seems to be to temporarily unblock Javascript, reload the page, and click on that.
A few years ago, I really wanted do LASIK but learned it is still not 100% safe. Did not made sense to me to take unnecessary risk, however small, for sake of appearance and convenience.

I spoke with my doctor and he said that he knew a few people who have issues with their vision after LASIK. He was of same opinion that surgery on eyes should be avoided at all cost.
Hey, awesome that you replied. There's nothing wrong with making projects based on your beliefs (it's actually pretty cool).

What I was trying to get at more was that, from the readme, there's nothing there to get me to understand what exactly I'm looking at (ie: code samples, a few examples of what you might make with it, ect). Hard to get onboard with a project if there's no way to really tell how you'd go about using it.
It's worth noting the scam site is the top result in Bing and DuckDuckGo as well
Crater costs a non-negligible amount of compute time, though, enough that the maintainers only do crater runs occasionally. Adding an entire new compiler toolchain to cover each run isn't ideal.
To my point, it is reasonable, but they've already been out priced by more capable products. It's not a good place to start.

Nobody said it would be easy. Industries ripe for disruption are often very hard to break into. Being ripe for disruption is more about giving up on innovating so you stagnate.
Same story for chrome a while back. I formatted my father computer because he had a bunch of malware. The first thing he did was to google “chrome” and download the first result. Which was an ads. Which was a malware.
Yeah but if you're running a fleet, then you have to scale your outfitting and maintenance to handle that. It's not practical for a lot of people. A lot of businesses lose their ass by trying to focus on too many things at the same time.

I'm not saying this is the right way for ag. to go forward. But all our incentives right now are to either specialize a small farm around high margin product or scale as wide as possible on low margin product. That is going to set a lot of people on the course of basically renting their equipment and deferring the maintenance to the provider.

We probably should create some incentives for farmers to be more self reliant. That would probably be good for our sustainability but I don't think we should ignore that currently the choice isn't black and white.
It’s better this way.
My personal experience. I had Laser Eye Surgery 25 years ago. I started wearing glasses regularly about 7 years ago. Your eyesight will deteriorate with time.

One of the complications from Laser Eye surgery is the change in the shape of Cornea from surgery. It creates challenge of determining proper strength of eye lens in case you developed cataract and need artificial lens.
It doesn't seem to have a corresponding ip, at least for me. Wonder if Pihole can't handle it.
I am surprised that the search engines were hardcoded in the C++ file. Support for OpenSearch would be a better way that allows customisations. So if anyone wants Bing, Baidu or another search engine that is not included by default, they can add it without having to recompile from source.
You are correct. You will have your account disabled.
I've been on the other side. When your VPN transaction fraud rate is much higher than your non-VPN transaction fraud rate and the volume is lower it's a no-brainer to react negatively to a VPN.

Xcode Cloud is the result of Apple's purchase of BuddyBuild from a few years ago. It's more competition to CI services like Circle and Travis (and any others that support Mac builds) than straight up Mac hosting like MacStadium.
There is https://ideone.com. I compared several similar services last year, including repl.it of course. I liked ideone better for some reason I forgot. PS: I have just checked repl.it again. Its UI has been changed a lot and it seems to require signup now, which makes me even less likely to use it.
Derived works also require a license.
I just picked up 4 40AH for $70US each so wow.

Mine are like, scooter batteries, LiFePO4. Do yours have like internet connectivity to monitor the charge? Or is it a factor of battery fees in AUS?

Or just 200AH in a single pack? I'm wiring mine in parallel in order to increase AH at 12v. I imagine you're also doing some type of off-grid power via solar/wind?
It's null-terminated, so there are no length bytes.

You can have paths exceeding 260 chars for a long time now. The problem is that the older Win32 APIs that deal with files have structs with TCHAR[MAX_PATH] field in them, so changing that length would be a binary breaking change for apps.

So the new APIs allow for longer paths, but code has to be specifically written to take advantage of them. Some languages and frameworks - e.g. Node.js and Python - had that support for a while; others are still catching up.
> awesome to a small segment of radiologists, but then what happens to the rest of them?

The same thing, they would do more radiology consults.

This is just like any other tech that’s improved radiology, it’s reduced the cost so there are more consults done.

Let’s say that a review takes 10 minutes without this new tech. With the new tech the review takes 30 seconds. So now a single radiologist can do 120 reviews an hour instead of 6. That’s great, as every radiologist will make way more money.

And also more radiology consults will be done because things that are too expensive and time consuming now become quick and cheaper.

Most of them don’t suffer, they do better.

Again, this isn’t a situation where any radiologists are getting fired and any solution that doesn’t involve radiologists is stupid since you still need humans to confirm and take responsibility for diagnosis or confirmation.

> $2000 for a 30kWh home battery backup? Who wouldn't get one?

Because it would be a lot more than $2k to get put it in your home. If you do the math on a Tesla powerwall, the raw cost of the battery should be right around $2k too. But it actually costs more like $8k per powerwall.
Why not?

Why would you assume an attacker uses all of the best cloaking tactics?

This doesn't seem like a complex attack at all: monitor common 0 day vuln feeds, attack, install off the shelf ransomware sold by 5$.

It might as well have been a script kiddie.
I feel like it's either gonna be reddit, or there's a dedicated forum for each hobby you have. Most likely more then one. Finding these can be as easy as searching Hobby + forum. Alternatively you'll see people on Reddit mentioning it.

That said I've noticed that Discord has increasingly been where active communities are.
Nah, it's simply recognition that attention to (hardware) detail is exclusive to Apple. Software has many downsides but isn't worse than Windows and looks bwautiful.
I'd rather see cops, banks and anyone else who needs your proof of Id or proof of age to adopt secure NFC scanners for existing cards.
This is already the case - if the app uses NT APIs directly rather than Win32, it can create files with "forbidden" names quite easily.
And I'm asking you to specify exactly which laws you think this runs afoul of. You can't just handwave "copyright laws" away.

Especially since there are no patents which protect the exact thing you're talking about. There is no such thing as "design copyright" other than actual, specific designs (fashion designs, specific graphics copy) that are copied. Ideas and software architectural designs are covered by patents. Something replit explicitly does not do.

Many so called "professionals" are still running operations with 5+ year old distributions that haven't been patched in almost as many years, and servers that people are afraid to reboot. I was once contracted by a company that was literally afraid to have any employees reboot a server because they had no idea how it worked, if it would come back up, and what to do if something didn't restart. They wanted an outside guy to take the blame.

The anger is exaggerated, and there are still many unknowns. Did he sign a non-compete agreement? If so, the intern would be breaking that agreement. It makes no difference if he raised $20 million or $100 million. There is nothing "tyrannical" about that.

I suppose you are a Muslim from your name. The Muslim stays silent when he is unsure. He stays clear of "drama". He thinks the best of other humans, and especially of his Muslim brothers.
The creation and maintenance of such a directory might additionally be more feasible now because sadly there are much fewer personal or independent websites instead of content hosted on large platforms.

I believe the game they are referring to is Dixit. It is a great way to share in each other’s creativity. The game’s scoring incentives keep the story telling from being gamed in a way that diminishes the fun.

Similar games, where you lobby others with creativity, are:

Snake Oil. When I’m not gaming, I love defining customer needs and determining benefits in the sales process. Snake Oil is a light game that lets me practice these skills with my friends and giggle about something I normally take seriously.

Funemployed. Each player takes turns as the recruiter for a job that was randomly drawn from the deck. Each other player assembles personality trait and skill cards and then interviews for the position weaving each trait into their pitch. You’ll need to remove some cards to make it PG.

Rory’s Story Cubes. A light dice rolling story prompt activity. Roll the dice and tell a story by referring to the symbols shown.

There are more games that cultivate story telling and let creativity shine. You can poke around BoardGameGeek[1], but games with the storytelling tag vary wildly and rules complexity can be high.

Each game causes different dynamics to emerge between players and that atmosphere is critical. You don’t want to play a game that will bum people out instead of fire up their creativity.

These games can be great team building exercises too!

Feel free to reach out with your play group’s preferences and player count. I’d love to help you have a blast the next time you game! Joe at FiremindGames dot com.

What right does the public have to know this? None.
It's their secret sauce, it's reasonable they don't want to publicize it.

Obviously, Radon has every right to know. But not us.
I could be wrong, but its something along the lines of...

You have 500gb of files at t0, that gets backed up as Backup1.backup, then you download a 15kb text file and kick off another backup. Instead of completely regenerating a backup of all the data, it will instead recreate a new Backup snapshot, but it will still use that original Backup1.backup file and then have some data structure in place that allows you to just incrementally backup the new data while still preserving the integrity of the old files and the integrity of the previous snapshot.
