Encryption and signing are two different things both using rsa keys. The public key used for encryption does not need to be part of the same key pair as the private key used for signing.

>> 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.

All those solutions are pretty sub-optimal if you actually use your F-keys regularly. Making a number stand in for an F-key after being held for a moment actually seems like it would be the most annoying workaround of all.

Personally I don't understand how you can call a database robust if it can't scale down nodes after you scaled them up once. What am I supposed to do if I ever deploy to 50 nodes and then it turns out that I only need 5. Shut the business down? Pay to run database servers forever that I don't even need anymore? Also the database configuration has a lot of gotchas and is very opaque. You might be waiting for 30sec for your CLI to connect to your localhost cluster of two processes and you have no idea what is happening or why it is taking that long. It just never felt so safe and robust as people claim it to be. I don't know, these were just my findings on the brief tests I did with it.

Also you better get familiar with a whole bunch of hidden "knobs" that are apparently configurable and very important somewhere and then get printed out into xml logs but of course there is no log viewer so you have to write your own. Maybe this isn't a problem for large companies but I'm providing feedback as a single user here.

I also don't understand how people can praise the c++ DSL. They should rewrite that into standard c++ coroutines as soon as possible so their entire build and dev environment isn't so hard to understand. As a user of open source software I generally like to be able to debug through the projects I use and figure out problems I have. It's much harder when a project uses their own custom language. I certainly tried to set it all up correctly but there always seemed to be some problems in regards to Intellisense within the IDE.
I keep getting results to a site 'gitmemory.com' which is just GitHub issues scraped. Super annoying that they outrank the actual GitHub issues they've taken the content from.
That's my point. They are not taxed separately but they do provide liability protection. In your other comment you made it sound like they are taxed separately and that was the cost to pay for being treated like a separate entity.

>I think the parent you're referring to was echoing a story that popped up as something of a conspiracy on the vestiges of the Internet, hinted at by the claim that the machines could be accessed when powered off.

If by "vestiges" you mean "fringes", I find that a bit disturbing assuming you are sincere.

Whatever thought process led you to think it was an obscure conspiracy theory - did you check Wikipedia?

The third sentence of the Wikipedia page on the IME is:

"The Intel Management Engine always runs as long as the motherboard is receiving power, even when the computer is turned off."

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

There isn't a specific source for this given, but I looked at some of the references and found this in Intel documentation:

"This interface can retrieve the current power state and change the power state of the hosting machine via commands to Intel AMT."

https://software.intel.com/sites/manageability/AMT_Implement...

There is also a link to "Black Hat 2017" given as a source for the ability to manipulate computers when they are turned off through the Management Engine.

And then, looking at your Register link, I don't see that it says anything about the capability of control when powered off.

Kindred souls. About three years ago, I did the same, but with NTSC. In my case I actually built a digitization board that sampled the signal from a composite cable and dumped the raw samples over USB using the Cypress EZ-USB2 chip. I didn't want to "cheat" with a chip that did the synchronization etc. :)

I never really finished it, but I threw a little bit of it on GitHub: https://github.com/gabesk/tv_python is the prototyping version (the raw data is a picture of Lena on a Raspberry Pi composite output).

Also as an aside, if anyone ever wants an example of how to stream data from an isochronous endpoint on Windows, this took me way to long to figure out: https://github.com/gabesk/tv/blob/master/actual_implementati... (see usb_reading_thread routine) as well as this blog post: https://gabesk.blogspot.com/2018/08/streaming-from-isochrono... (that version does real-time black and white, but I never finished real-time color as my laptop at the time couldn't handle it with my poorly optimized decoding routines).

You all have inspired me to finish this properly and publish it. Maybe even as a top level post on HN.

Not sure electric batteries have the endurance. Rockets and jet packs are pure thrust based devices = short endurance. Electric is somewhat better.
Internal combustion coupled with the lift of a pair of rotating wings will have about 10x the endurance of current batteries and about 25x the endurance of jet/rocket packs.
One electric advantage is the quieter profile of the pair of rotary wings (operated at lower speed wider profile) which would suit stealthy approached - which jet/rocket packs can not match.

>As a thought experiment, if you ran a business, and all your ex-employees released a free version of the same product, would you be cool with this? Could you hang out with them, smile and say everything is totally cool?

I've actually seen this exact situation play out twice (except the new products were not free), though I wasn't directly involved. Both times, it only happened because the business owner was, to put it bluntly, a bad person who had no business (heh) running a company, and the result was a mass exodus that birthed a direct competitor.

To answer your thought experiment:

I am looking at this as an employee, as a controlled person. You are looking at it as a founder, owner, or some other type of position that holds power. A controller.

Those with power would view it as immoral. An action like this threatens their power. Those who have enough power to exert a controlling influence, want, above all else, to maintain that power, while also increasing it. Anything that impedes that is unfair, and thus immoral.

Those without power, or with less power, do not see it as immoral, because it is a redistribution of power to those who deserve it just as much, if not more. It is fair. It is just. It is moral.

You see this as immoral because your sympathies lie with those who have power. Might makes right. The states that enforce non-competes have the same view as you, but California does not, and that is one of the many reasons that it remains the global center of technological innovation.

What is this process describing, and how does it differ from what you were trying to do?
This is a PR disaster.

It's really hard to put a finger on who is in the wrong, because both the former intern(FI) and CEO screwed up.

Out of so many things to build that could be fun, it's wrong to build something that you worked on, where a really good engineer/founder took you under their wings, taught you a ton. To take that and open source the secret sauce of a fragile startup in a competitive market... that's wrong. To publicly show confidential emails without warning - raises eyebrows. And if he is blocking out that much text, then this leads me to conclude he is downplaying their hardwork and innovation.

However, it's wrong to threaten a young budding programmer with money and lawyers and brag about how we are not small anymore, and we have money now(20 million), which is not a lot in my opinion. They haven't built a moat yet.

I really think all of this could have been avoided if the CEO took a more sequential and slower approach.

1. Ask the former intern to take it down nicely. If he says no, then you could ask him to close source certain parts of the program, and drop a backlink to Replit. The CEO could have taken a softer approach - you only take out the big stick when absolutely necessary.

2. He should have gotten on the call after the former intern asked him THREE times pleading to talk to him. I don't think it's right to treat a former starry eyed programmer who respects you like that - to outright ghost him... You spent 3 months mentoring the young grasshopper. I didn't like the way he treated that intern, and let the problem fester. That's not right.

To me the right move is for CEO to be the bigger man, apologize, and try to make it right with OP. That's my assessment, but there could be more to the story...

I would also like to note that this is why you NEVER impulsively write emails late at night when you're brain is tired and judgement a little compromised after a LONG day.
Should have been more clear. Yes, (at least in Linux) you can mknod a special file anywhere, but the directory hierarchy is taken in context when you open the file. On MSDOS, you can open AUX or CON in any directory, even though no such named file exists anywhere in the filesystem. THAT is a poor implementation, and would probably be considered a bug by most developers if it were offered as a solution today.
I'd also submit that one of the most important things is recognizing that ROI requires a net positive return. It's not just the time required to implement a control, you also have to factor in the opportunity cost of the increased friction. I've seen way too many times infosec organizations completely ignoring that the loss outweighs the actual risk. Hyperbolic analogy, but like forbidding driving delivery routes to avoid a parking ticket.
> I also don't agree with your characterization of Haskell, Rust and OCaml as being "high-barrier-to-entry" compared to Python. Personally, I find languages like Python much harder to work with given how arbitrary and detail oriented they are.

This is an interesting POV to be sure, but it should be made more practical and testable, by writing introductory resources for the average user that are targeted to these languages. Right now, the closest comparison to your prospective design for Yatima might actually be ATS, and I have trouble seeing ATS as figuring in a "Programming 101" tutorial.

Purely in the phone division, they are not that innovative.

Another really big thing is that Samsung funds a lot of basic research also at the university level, which AFAIK none of the big tech companies do.

You'd get stuck at the same place as the author, at the kernel driver/module level. Chrooting to a Mac image wouldn't load the needed IOKit modules, although I'm not familiar enough with Darwin/OSX/iOS to say if you could load said modules with a jailbreak.

My understanding is modern/recent jailbreaks only allow running unsigned code, not full kernel access.
If this is an oblique reference to a covid19 lab leak, you must know that the possibility of a leak was pushed forth by virologists, not software engineers or trumpsters.

Wow, that would be really great! Although there’s a lot of criticism about IMGUI not supporting accessibility (and as a result can’t replace platform-specific APIs or something like Qt), I’ve always thought this wasn’t the limitation of the paradigm itself, but it’s just that nobody’s actually tried to implement one. Such a library that meshes well with immediate mode would definitely be a godsend.

https://micro.coyotetracks.org/2021/04/21/the-mac-and.html

My argument from there is that Apple has been demonstrating a consistent philosophy since the start of the iPad:

- Macs are general purpose computers

- iPads/iPhones are application consoles, analogous to game consoles

That philosophy doesn't preclude securing macOS in annoying ways, but it does preclude locking down macOS like iOS. The notion that Apple would force all Mac apps to be installed from the App Store because it would increase their revenue simply doesn't hold water, because, as I noted then, the Venn diagram of "users likely to walk over such a change" and "users likely to spend boggling amounts of money on Apple hardware" is close to a perfect circle. Even if that's only a few percent of those high-ticket users, that's literally millions of lost unit sales.

Furthermore, I stand by my thoughts then that if Apple was ever going to try such a radical move, it would have been last year, with the introduction of Apple Silicon and the relatively radical redesign brought by macOS Big Sur.

The flip side of this philosophy, though, is that we're probably not going to ever see iOS open the way macOS is any more than they must for technical, market, or regulatory reasons.

My suspicion is that in the long run there's a new OS that will replace both macOS and iPadOS, and at that point, all bets may be off. But I don't think we're going to see that within the next few years.
