What do you mean? What if I want to change the microcode to something I like?
I’m not expressing an opinion on the matter myself.

But I would like to say that the project lead and primary developer of Notepad++ has political opinions, and uses his software as a platform to occasionally exercise them.

This appears to be another example of this whether you agree or not with it.
Maybe you should petition the city of Monterey to change its name. And while you're at it, do the same for every other city in the world with a name that has changed slightly over time.

By the way, does it bother you at all that "Mexico" isn't properly spelled? Or is that OK because there aren't enough native speakers of Nahuatl to make a case for "Mēxihco"?
Very little in this story makes sense. A gang of alleged hackers is sophisticated enough to cause major gasoline shortages in the US but dumb enough to try converting the ransom on a US-based exchange?

An affidavit spells out some of what's alleged to have happened:

https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.cand.37...

The agent used a blockchain explorer to track the payment. This is something anyone can do. A few transfers down the line and suddenly the FBI has the private key.

It's been speculated that because the private key is in the possession of the FBI in the "Northern District of California" that Coinbase was involved. The ransomers got paid, did some easily-tracked transactions, then sent the funds to Coinbase? They must have known full well that the FBI would be waiting.

The message I take away from this so far is either:

1. The attackers were numbskulls who happened to get lucky; or

2. The attackers never cared about the ransom and are using it to mislead investigators and/or the public.
Experts Reject Plan for Tests of Children to Find Potential Criminality (1970)
What is 'Type'? Is it a Type as well? In a toy dependent type system I'm building I just declared the top type as an instance of itself without caring about soundness. I'm curious what the approach is here.
AR is probably in its "hovertank" era right now, after years of interesting but largely useless demos.

Someday we're going to wonder how anyone managed to navigate or buy things in shops without realtime vision markup.
Main thing I find Lightroom is superior compared to Darktable is being able apply adjustments consistently across groups of photos. You might have say 6 photos all taken of the same subject in the same conditions. You adjust one the way you want, and then literally copy and paste the categories of settings from one to all the other photos you want. Darktable doesn't seem to have that sort of workflow to get through hundreds of photos quickly.
The first use of DNA in a criminal case only goes back to 1987. As such 30 years ago people generally weren’t really aware of generic testing or any of it’s implications outside of science fiction.
Misspoke slightly. I'm thinking back to my experience of a bootstrap in react package. The HTML it produced was meaningless.

At least for me geo detection is all over the place. Google thinks I'm in Bulgaria, rest of the ip2geo sites think I'm in SF.

I am talking about DNA wrt crimes... it was first proposed as possible in 85 and in the early 90s used for it. I'd say my timeline was fairly ok give or take a few years for an off the cuff recollection of events.

Apple can read all of your iMessages and texts out of your non-e2e iCloud Backups, and they can see all of your Photos in your iCloud Photos. iCloud syncs all of your contacts to them, too. iCloud Backup is on by default so it’s safe to say that Apple can read everyone’s iMessages (even despite their claims of e2e encryption, which are now bogus due to the backup backdoor).

Every time you open the App Store, it sends your permanent, unchangeable device serial number to Apple along with your Apple ID, which is tied to your name and address and phone number and payment cards. (You can’t get an Apple ID without a phone number.) Many apps are App Store only, and on iOS it’s all apps.

Having location services on means your exact location is being sent in realtime over the network to Apple constantly (it’s not just passive GPS reception). Launching apps sends identifiers over the network to Apple in realtime (unencrypted, even, so even your ISP can see), so they know what apps you use, and where and when you use them. This all happens even with analytics disabled.

Even if you have iCloud off, using Siri sends your contacts and other data to Apple.

Books and Music track what you listen to, how often, and on which devices, under your Apple ID.

Even if you don’t use Apple for email, iCloud syncs your Mail app recent addresses autocomplete to Apple, who can then see who you correspond with.

All macs and iphones and ipads maintain a persistent 24/7 connection to Apple push servers with a client certificate linked to the hardware serial number of the device. If you aren’t using external VPN hardware at all times, this continuously leaks your city level location and ISP to Apple on a per-serial basis (which is linked to your Apple ID and name due to App Store use above). They know when you leave home and switch to 4G. They know when you arrive at work. They know when you travel to another city, and which hotel you stay in. They get all of this data even with location services off due to the invisible phone-home built in to the OS, and this happens even if you don’t use iCloud or any App Store apps.

Apple’s “commitment to privacy” or whatever presupposes that you don’t need or want privacy from Apple themselves. It is thus entirely natural for Apple staff to continue in this vein, as most Apple customers have surrendered their most private and sensitive data to iCloud and other Apple services already.

(In 2019, they turned over more than 30,000 customer accounts of data to the US federal government under FISA orders (per Apple’s own transparency report on their website), which are not warrants and do not require probable cause. Even if you trust Apple staff completely, there are reasons not to trust the federal investigators to whom they are compelled to leak your data without suspicion of a crime.)
Google Duo (the FaceTime competitor afaik) works fine and I have used it with all my family for a while now.

There's also WhatsApp video which is pretty poor quality, imo. Duo is much clearer and higher quality.

Not quite - if your lawyer believes they have a case, especially a strong case, there is quite likely a good opportunity to settle out of court and the other side's lawyers (acting in their own client's best interest) will go out of their way to try and encourage them to accept a reasonable settlement.

You're only boned if it actually goes to court - and even in that case you're still free to settle until the judge announces a verdict.

Apple is trailing behind Google, Samsung, and Microsoft - all their "new" features are a catching up with the market leaders.
HTML Semantics Cheat Sheet
Same story for various Wordpress plugins and widgety things that live in site footers.

Google has turned into a cesspool. Half the time I find myself having to do ridiculous search contortions to get somewhat useful results - appending site: .edu or .gov to search strings, searching by time periods to eliminate new "articles" that have been SEOed to the hilt, or taking out yelp and other chronic abusers that hijack local business results.
It's more that the weaknesses in iPadOS have received unanimous disdain by influencers who help sell the hardware, which is one of the factors that Apple does listen to (e.g. resulting in the iMac Pro and Mac Pro), and the pandemic/WFH likely affected the dev cycle a bit as it has with almost every other tech company.

That's why I think the time table will get pushed up for more pro iPad features.
I strongly object to these statements.

Dialation may not be necessary every single time for a healthy adult, but it’s good to do occasionally as there are serious diseases that can only realistically be checked by getting a good look at the back of the eye.

Puff test can be vision-saving. It takes almost no effort, and is an excellent screen for glaucoma. Glaucoma is irreversible, and catching it early is essential to saving your vision. It’s not as accurate as other measures, but it’s fast (they’re usually doing other tests simultaneously) and easy so why not do it? But if you want the extra accuracy you can ask for the applanation - any decent optometrist will do it for you if you want. Some people prefer it.
Hah, I remember causing BSOD everywhere on IRC with that bug and CTCP SOUND when I was a kid. By the way, the list Microsoft published is not the full list of special files. I remember using at least one reserved word that isn't there. I remember using debug.exe on command.com to obtain the full list.
Not exhaustive, but you might find this interesting:

Would you two be able to share some take-aways from that conversation at some point? Maybe write up a short comparison of the projects as they are now and any differences in roadmap/vision that could be relevant.

I always appreciate when OSS projects put in effort to understand and position themselves in relation to competitors (or potential collaborators).

Also want to mention some open-source React visual drag and drop page editors that might be useful for inspiration or to eliminate possible duplicate work. There's OpenChakra [0] and Blocks [1], which are apps, and then there's craft.js, a library that aims to modularize "the building blocks of a page editor" and seems to have more emphasis on customizing the actual editor UI.

Best of luck to you both!

On this topic broadly, read the autobiographical "Survival in Auschwitz" by Primo Levy. If I recall correctly, out of his original convoy of 700 souls, three survived. One insane detail I remember from that book is that there was a hospital in Auschwitz where some (lucky?) prisoners could convalesce before subsequently being worked to death. Levy himself was able to survive due to his skills as a chemist which the Nazi's put to use in a laboratory and was therefore able to work in relatively sheltered conditions.

No company can be strong in all markets. Apple is entirely focused on the end user while Microsoft is focused on the enterprise market and corporate developpers. Both are very successful in their respective ways.

For Microsoft to replicated Apple's success with their ecosystem experience, they would need an entirely new OS built from the ground up for that. Essentialy breaking free of Windows legacy and possibly their partners-driven strategy to have tight control over hardware and software.

But past a certain point, the investment and risk would be massive and success uncertain. Microsoft made the call to focus on what they do best wich is enterprise and "productivity" and they're doing really well.

This effectively is a license. It's implied that the copyright holder has not given you further rights than this.

As you say, Capcom may well claim that they are communicating visual information with others.

Haven't they done the same in the past / aren't they doing the same now? I distinctly remember an old iPad I gave to my parents still getting iOS 12 updates.
By that logic we should just throw in the towel and use Google/whatever the biggest player is. I refuse to play by those rules, even if my resistance is ultimately futile.
>>> I agree with you and don’t know why people would think radiologists would be against automating their jobs away...Having automation tools would allow a radiologist to do even more work and make even more money.

I'd love to understand your viewpoint here. What you're describing would be awesome to a small segment of radiologists, but then what happens to the rest of them?

Further, why would the rest agree to it?!?! This isnt web ad sales or hosting where anyone can come in, do a better job, and win market share and get rich. Rather, here, the limited set of Radiologists would need to agree on standards of practice via the ABR -- why would they do that if it means most of them suffer as a result?
That's what it says after you use the [-] to collapse a comment and it has a single reply. It also counts replies to replies (and so on).
In theory this should open possibility to unlock all the market segmentation gated Intel bullshit like ECC, AVX, multiplier change overclocking, etc. Maybe even manipulating CPUID.

It's not nearly as dramatic. But they've surely gotten cheaper. As evidenced by how they have displaced carbon-zinc cells in almost all applications.

I checked Radio-Shack's 1981 US catalogue. $2.79 for a 4 pk of store-brand AA alkaline cells. That's $8.20 or so today. You can today, apparently get an 8 pk of Duracell from Wal-Mart at $7.50. Or an 8 pk of store brand alkaline AA cells from Wal-Mart for $3.20.
I really don’t understand what parts of it people think is so bad. Drag an app from your dock to one side of the screen when you have another app open.

Swipe the middle bar to resize the two windows.

I don’t think that should take more than a few minutes for most people to grasp. Honestly it is even simpler than desktop window management.
The problem with that sort of argument is that you're not actually fixing anything, you're just shoving it under the rug at great expense.

Minimum wages do not improve low wage earners lot in life, they simply make it impossible for them to survive because it becomes illegal to hire them.

Once again, what effect do you think that making it illegal to hire someone who is unproductive will have on that person's life?

Arguments about a living wage, and other appeals to emotion are very nice, and certainly convince a lot of people who did not think through the full extent of the incentives at play, but at the end of the day their only result is to harm those it supposedly is seeking to help.
If they cleared this, that's a horrible decision. I doubt they did. Its pretty common for employees to do their own sort of back of the envelope analysis or to pass off copied work as their own (especially if they modified it a bit).
Why on earth are people acting like this is bizarre.

Nothing about Repl.it is even remotely unique. And in fact, it seems like they're finally catching on (RE: their post about Nix). Egotistical CEO trying to protect their tiny moat? As typical as the sun shining.

Nix + Theia + a team of moderately dedicated folks could replicate the important parts of Repl.it in a month. I'd bet my fucking life on it. Mostly because I've done it and I'm a highly unmotivated pot-head.
> Would it have been fine if Capcom had re-created near identical patterns without use of the book's original digital files?

In copyright law this is usually fine, yes.
Civil engineer grad now data scientist here.

As other have, I would recommend that you work on something related to your current area. Try to learn Python on the side and start automating tasks.

For example, when I was an intern at a hydraulic engineering company, there were some pump automation efforts for which I volunteered to debug important but off-the-critical-path code.

Later, as a grad student, I helped automate construction schedules for wind farm developers. Here I was in direct contact with the contractors themselves.

Another alternative, but riskier, is to take some time off to to build a project portfolio. This was the approach from a friend that went through the same program as I did but went on to join a construction consultancy company. He went on to become a data scientist.

What have you worked on the last 6 years? Where do you think the process could be automated?
I was reading the article in utter confusion too. I personally think it's the authorities trying to save face, as I don't think even a computer-literate high school kid would make these mistakes.
> I am very happy that Altium decided the way they did.

Don't be. Altium has been trying to do the same thing as Adobe.

They can't go full month-to-month or everybody will drop them like a hot potato. However, they have gradually been locking down symbol and part libraries so that you do have to pay month-to-month.

We'll probably upgrade our Altium licenses once more. KiCAD will probably be up to speed within that timespan. After that, we'll park our Altium licenses at a specific version and switch over to KiCAD.

We've been waiting for KiCAD 6. The data format upgrades are extremely important since it links the schematic and layout systems properly so things like annotation can flow both directions (schematic->layout and layout->schematic).
Hardly, the second screen functionality of samsung's tablets only work with windows 10 last I checked. Many of the continuity features that apple has been and continues to roll out are not present on the android platform at all and in the cases where they are (like second screen) they are to use a technical term, janky.
Rules for job seekers to evaluate software companies?
Awhile ago on here there was a post about a list of questions one should ask themselves to evaluate how good a software company is. One was making sure there was a dedicated test team because it's a waste of money to have developers test their own code. I have combed the internet forever trying to find this list but I'm turning up empty. If anybody could help a guy out I'd greatly appreciate it!
> Why then are the compounds, which we can see from the sky, off-limits to human rights observers? Why are these complexes expanding at an alarming rate?

Can you prove that this refutation of those satellite images is false? Let's remember that there were satellite photos of WMDs before the Iraq War also. https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1208288.shtml

According to China many observers have come, and there is an open invitation for more to come as well: https://www.globaltimes.cn/content/1180917.shtml

Do you have evidence that this is false?

The Palestinian, Pakistani, and Syrian ambassadors to China have commented on camera about what they observed in Xinjiang: https://youtu.be/ebeGipO6-gU?t=490

Do you have evidence that they are lying? Which Muslim-majority countries or non-Western-aligned Muslim interest groups have condemned China for human rights abuses in Xinjiang?

> Very few of the people that would currently benefit from a domestic backup battery could afford $2k, and most of the people who do have $2k to spare don’t live in places with unreliable electricity.

My expectation is that with climate change, unreliable electricity is going to affect a lot more places. The polar vortex that knocked out the Texas grid is likely to be a more frequent and more extreme event. ACs running more frequently will likely lead to more brown outs.

Assuming our grids don't get major updates (I'm pretty pessimistic about this), we are looking at more and more outages in the future. It's certainly possible that smart grids could significantly reduce outages, but that will take too many actors working together to ever really fly.

For example, if the grid could coordinate with your heating and cooling, you could distribute AC usage to avoid tripping the grid.

Barring such a grid, homes having batteries would allow owners to skate through brown outs. Further couple that with solar and they could survive even major outages (hours or even days).

> The overlap isn’t zero, but… for example, I visited Kenya with an ex of mine, we met a local friend of hers, that friend would’ve benefited from a more reliable electricity bill, but her monthly rent and utility bills combined was equivalent to about $85 and she couldn’t afford to move.

A 1kwh battery would probably be a pretty positive impact. Add on a 300W solar panel and you'd have something that would extend the amount of electricity the have. That'd come in at ~$400 (assuming $50/kwh). Not enough to run an AC, but enough to keep the lights on and maybe run a fridge.

Otherwise... yeah... not much good news for places that can't afford such batteries.
IIRC fdb is fully optimistic concurrency control. It doesn't do any locking. If you have workloads which are highly contended, you'll need to do something in the layer above to coordinate. Otherwise, performance will be unbearable.

This may be out-dated, please let me know if the story has evolved here.
Being an attorney does not give you the power to automatically bankrupt someone, just like owning a gun doesn’t mean you can point it at people and automatically get them to do what you want. Picking a frivolous fight with the wrong person can go very poorly for you.

I guess the main point I’m trying to say that one doesn’t have to fold the second someone threatens you with legal action, even if you don’t have an attorney. A porcupine doesn’t automatically shed all its quills and throw themselves in a mountain lion’s mouth as soon as the mountain lion eyeballs it with a hungry look. You can f*!with people who f* with you. They may just go away when they realize you’re not going to make it easy for them.

The kid who posted this website could get a notarized affidavit saying he didn’t steal any IP, here’s how he got all the stuff, provide links to all the publicly available information, that he simply state that he built a hacky weekend project I good faith, and that no matter how much they pursued him or time they wasted on him, it wouldn’t change the facts of the case. The more time the attorneys spend going after him, the more they’re just gonna waste their own time and look super dumb. Say they are free to pursue whatever legal action they want, just like you’re free to stand up to a frivolous, insecure bully with too much money and free time. Take all the fun out of it for them, don’t roll over and take it because you’re afraid of being potentially bankrupted.
What forsaken rabbit hole have you brought me to now?
