Well, evidence-less speculation is also useless, here's another one: maybe they have a quantum computer that spat out the private key?

Or they asked Google to hack the hackers' Android phones!
Possibly? But I'd primarily say IANAL and you're best off spending the fifty bucks to get a half hour of some lawyer's time on the phone.

A while ago I needed to briefly retain a lawyer to navigate a complex contract with my employer, there may be terrible lawyers out there but the person I reached out to was exceedingly thorough in explaining things (and I, as a dev, had lots of rules-lawyery questions to throw at them), quite prompt in their response and charged a modest fee.

Speaking to a lawyer will absolutely cost you more than a coffee, but it's not that pricey in the scheme of things compared to getting in legal hot water.

You're absolutely right. But from a Chinese perspective, they see open access to American companies for what it is: neocolonialism. They don't want American companies coming in, buying up all of the local brands, and siphoning off the profits back to America. The Chinese also don't want these large American companies using their business power to direct local politics.

Just look at the attitude that Google, Palantir, and similar have for Europeans. I bet there are times that Germany wished they had their own Baidu. China is doing what it can to stop from becoming an American vassal.
As someone preparing to transition from C# to Swift dev, async/await was a big missing piece. I’ll be curious to see how quickly the ecosystem picks it up as I move forward on my journey.

My experience interacting with teams and devs targeting Swift is that when Apple says “jump” you jump.

What do people already using Swift in production think?

I've never liked how multitasking works on the iPad and I can imagine trying to code on it being a poor experience. This is even worse with the simplistic file management.

I'm actually glad the iPad keeps it simple, as every time I try to code or use the files app on my Chromebook, its extremely irritating.
The twitter thread is a hot mess:

(1) It asks the question “why would they need a warrant if they had the private key”. The answer is obvious: the same reason they’d need a warrant to seize cash from your house even if they had your front door key. Legally, the FBI needs a warrant to seize property in your possession, outside of very narrow exceptions, and “well, we have the technical capability to take it” doesn’t itself qualify for any exception.

(2) It concludes from a warrant and supporting affidavit that explicitly ask the court to permit the FBI to seize BTC to which thet have the private key that...the FBI did not have the private key, but instead was serving the warrant on a “custodial wallet provider” like Coinbase. It it possible the wallet seized was custodial, but there is literally nothing supporting this interpretation of the FBI not actually having the private key ut serving the warrant on a third party rather than seizing it by use of the key in their possession. In fact, every element of that narrative is directly contradicted by the documents pointed to to support it.
You can rent equipment already from Home Depot or some "Rent-a-Center" place however they need to pay for their overhead so there is a hefty markup. But it makes sense for tools you use occasionally like a sod cutter or tiller.

So you may think that you know more about product management and how to sell devices than Apple but given their experience it's a pretty tall claim.

There is no clear answer if you are looking outside of what a judge will decide. The book says -

"the CD images can be used by artists and designers in developing concepts, preparing presentations for clients, and communicating visual information to others. Although the images are primarily intended for on-screen display, they can also be printed on either a black and white or color printer.

It's clear, only "preparing presentations" not using in presentations.

Equally the book buyers comments all think you can use the photos when making things. So clearly the CD gets sold for wink wink reasons and she would have to know that, but we also all know Capcom have had multiple people using the photos without everyone having a copy and they also know they are not a person just using the photos in a one off illegal presentation.

Legally it will be complex, we will see. It is interesting she allowed formatting shifting, you could print the photos. Was that legal when the book came out or was she adding additional rights and how does that effect the default copyright.

Eclipse Theia: https://theia-ide.org/

It's an open source project bringing the VS Code user interface to the browser. It supports a large number of VS Code extensions.

It is by-far the stand-out in this arena, and yet seems to be sadly very unknown. VS Code Liveshare and friends are all proprietary junk, to be polite.

Theia is used by Google, ARM, Arduino, IBM, Huawei, Ericsson, Red Hat, and more. It's seriously good stuff.

Neat game. I have a board game, whose name escapes me at the moment. Instead of books, players receive cards, and tell stories about the cards, the player whose turn it is tells a story about their card, and then others hand them a card that they think matches the story, and then everyone has to guess whose card is the player's. If everyone guesses, player gets no points and everyone else 2. If no-one guess, player gets no points either. But if at least 1 person guesses, players gets 2 points, and thoseguessed correctly and who produced cards that other people guessed can get points too.

Well, that is unfortunately.

In 2015 I was fired because some issues on a site that I was working on because some friction with the company owner. Two months before I was fired I reported that some links to others sites non related to our service was on the initial page (some porn and some scams pages). After that I heard from my ex-coworkers that a manager from another area from the company told that I was fired because I was linking porn on some pages from our service. I didn’t knew at the time that those tools existed, but only today I realized that it is an option.

I was really sad with that manager and didn’t understood the reason to lie to my friends the reason of my demission. But is nice to know what may have caused the issue. Better late than never hahaha.

Way back when I was first graduating from college, I interviewed at IBM for a "support engineer" role. It was pitched as a software engineering job, but focused on understanding customers' problems at a pretty deep level, and being the human interface between front-line support and the dev teams.

I always thought it sounded like a good role for a company to have. Unfortunately such people seem to be in short supply.
Fair enough. I haven't seen any of the 10%, but I'm sure they're out there. As an alternative to saying "go find info", how's this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KDiecphUk8 ?

Leaving work at the end of the day and disconnecting is hard.

Both home and work carry different kinds of emotional contexts/baggage for me. Switching between them takes work. Without a commute and literal distance, it’s hard to “switch off” work mode and get into parent/spouse mode. I hate having a foot in both doors: either feeling bad I’m not parenting enough or feeling bad I’m not working hard enough.

One solution I’ve found is powering my Mac down. Booting back up takes time, and requires me to log back into a bunch of services. So I’m not going to just slip back into work seamlessly: it takes a bit of effort.
You actually can disable issues now; I'm glad they finally added it as an option.[1]

That's an interesting theory and would make sense as a defusing move (whether or not they had an ongoing relationship with DarkSide), but is there any support for this or is it speculation?
The page says the editor is "designed to run at 144hz". That's actually a pretty cool feature, as vscode seems locked to 60hz. I have to wonder, what is stopping it from going further? I have a 240hz monitor, are there any IDEs or text editors that can render that fast?

Okay that would be super neat. Even color the lines based on traffic type? Like green until it gets to your VPN exit node and then blue.
I can do about 45-50 wpm on my phone with swype typing. It would probably be faster, but words like "our" and "off" are hard because it seems like it's luck whether the keyboard picks "or" or "our", of/off.

Swype is pretty great for writing with a phone. I kind of wish there was an improved Swype though.

No, it wouldn't be either. It's an incomplete description that intentionally creates the misleading interpretation that this wasn't intentional censorship but a mistake. In reality, this was intentional censorship, possibly applied in an overly broad way.

Saying things to intentionally cause your audience to come to incorrect conclusions is lying. A reasonable description does not omit relevant details.

Similar, if I said "My car accident was caused but human error" that would not be a correct or reasonable description if it were actually caused by my driving while drunk. I could as easily say it was caused by physics. The problem is that these lies elide my wrongdoing.

It would be interesting to hear some speculation from Hacker News readers about how they could have done this.
A private key is not needed if the funds are on an exchange. Apparently there is a warrant to seize property on Northern California so I guess it might be Coinbase.

And yeah... if the crackers sent the funds to an exchange they were comically dumb.

What about Agda? I was impressed how Agda allows you to use a lot of Unicode operators and ascii character sequences to do the same thing (e.g. → and `->`). Not sure about the situation he mentions above, but I'd bet Agda supports it too.
The other commenter says that they were first introduced as a commercial product in 1991.

According to Wikipedia, they were preceded by two years by the first commercially-available nickel-metal hydride cells in 1989, so that would be an interesting point of comparison. Also nickel-cadmium and lead-acid have been around for a very long time.

Yes, I can confirm. I use them only in parallel, and they usually come from the same battery pack.
A series connection would require extra care to select them for identical characteristics, and the use of a BMS to keep them balanced, avoiding the strongest ones to discharge at reversed polarity through the weakest ones, which would be a recipe for disasters. BMS circuits however can't do miracles; too different cells shouldn't be used together anyway.
I do not think Tor necessarily requires 3 hops. See https://tor.stackexchange.com/a/497. It's just that 3 hops provide significant incremental benefit over 2 hops.

John Oliver is actually a really good source for this sort of point as he dedicated an episode[1] to the trials and tribulations of his lawsuit against Murray Energy - something he described as a SLAPP suit which I think is a fair viewpoint.

The replit case is especially interesting since it could be a lot more personal (because the dev behind it previously worked for them and people hold grudges) and also because it might actually be a lot more valid then a lot of other frivolous C&Ds we see (since they were a former employee and it would be impossible to claim they were unaware of how replit worked at a very basic level). I think this lawsuit is a lot riskier than most and replit certainly does have a leg to stand on in open court.

You make a good point in the difference in active choice but to say duckduckgo doesn't censor results is inaccurate is it does even if by proxy of where it sources those results from.

Nothing is stopping it from going faster, unless the framerate is forcibly capped by the developer. It renders the same way a framerate-independent 3D game does.

> Long story short, this is the single reason why I haven't bought an ErgoDox/keyboardio/… so far.

I don't really understand this conclusion. The point of these programmable keyboards is you can make them as work-free as you need. If you hit your function keys all the time, you can make the number row produce a function key just by holding it for a little longer or do like what OP did and make number chords match a function key. Press 1+2 to get F1, 2+3 to get F2, etc.

I understand not wanting to use a layer for everything which is why I don't care for ultra minimalist boards like the T-34 or Plank but an Ergodox has plenty of keys for my uses.
Well, I wrote a small comment here on replit, and their CEO actually tracked me down by username on another forum, and sent me a PM there.

Nothing harmful, he was just curious about what I liked or didn't like about using replit - tbh I found it pretty cool that they're so close to the user base. Saw the message weeks afterwards, and forgot the reply him.
Sounds nebulous and hard to falsify.
It's been observed that the perception of psychological safety is often more important than actual safety.

As someone who used to work in a human resource role, development resources that feel safe will often take ownership in the event of an incident. This in turn provides a layer of safety buffer for their managers and other key stakeholders.

Isn't it largely the other way around, the accused would need to show that they have some suitable license or successfully argue that the have fair-use grounds (the latter sounds unlikely in this case to me)?

Maybe it's a distinction without a difference in civil matters, since there's not really a presumption of guilt or innocence AFAIK in civil.
As I said in response elsewhere, these claims really need some support or they are just bytes on the Internet.
I don't think there is anything magic about three hops. You need at least two so that no single node knows both the source and destination. With a third node you are able to isolate the first and last hop from each other to make it more difficult for collusion, but needing a third hop is probably outside the threat model for most people. With Tor what is usually more important is making sure the nodes span different providers and jurisdictions.
> I guess what I'm trying to say, is that if a company wants to advocate the case for proceeding as an independent entity, they will make it abundantly clear. This is not that.

Something I read that really stuck with me was a comment on some correspondence between a Mesopotamian king and a high-ranking water engineer:

> His letters contain many poorly understood technical terms for weirs, sluices, dykes and the activities associated with them, so that accurate translation is impossible

We know, broadly, what he was talking about, we have a huge corpus showing the vocabulary in use, and we understand the technology he was using pretty well. But we don't know exactly what he was saying, and it's vanishingly unlikely we ever will.
