> iterating through every possible value of a 256 bit key

It's my understanding that when encryption gets "broken", it usually refers to something other than a simple brute force attack. Like, something that would make it so you don't need to run as many iterations or whatever.

I assume this because a brute force attack is something that is always possible from day 1, whereas an encryption scheme being broken is something that happens some time afterwards.

Apologies, but it's now clear that you simply have no idea what you're talking about, I literally posted above textbook examples about what is the standard of what is correct and incorrect in AAVE, but you don't care to understand, so I'm gonna end this particular reply chain here.
The maintainer just stated it without further explanation. Searching for "HOMEBREW_NO_ANALYTICS" does reveal some other references[1], and it seems that there are some other places where this may need to be added such as "Library/Homebrew/env_config.rb", but I don't know anything about homebrew.

I do think it's very much a minimal-effort PR. It's hardly a PR at all: at the very least the tests and documentation should have been updated, and actually writing out some more rationale would help as well. I certainly wouldn't send a PR like this, at least not without the text "this is a proposal, and if accepted I will update the tests and documentation as well".

That's just it. It's not in print. Print means that you were in a place at a time, and you can be tracked.

On the Internet, you could be anywhere in the world. It's hard to track you. Not that hard, since most people don't even try to cover their tracks, but it's out of the hands of local police, and it's way, way, way off the radar of the FBI.

Unless you're a politician or perhaps a major celebrity, they don't even bother. They'll just assume that it's some rando in the middle of nowhere who didn't mean it, doesn't know where you are, and are content to just issue the threat. And 99.99% of the time, they're right. Comforting, huh?

It is illegal. And I personally think that if the FBI started taking these seriously, the number would drop substantially. Probably not enough to make the Internet a less bad place, but I'd be curious to see if it helped. I think that the anonymous death and rape threats are the core of all of the rest of the hostility, making it seem reasonable to merely use abusive language.

But I doubt we'll ever find out.

I would agree for some features, but for this specific feature I have to share this criticism.

/pol/? No, mato fato /g/entoomen

And the author of the temporary-audacity fork has refused to actually evidence the "spam mails" or phone calls, probably because you cannot find either of his addresses online using his username and thus it makes no sense for them to be spammed.
What happened here is that they had a poll, /g/ turned up, suggested a name and got it voted in. He said no because democracy only matters when the guy in charge gets what he wants, and now he's crying like a bitch and trying to rally equally bitchy people to his side. Simple. He even posted the threads that debunk himself but I'm also sure he deleted the tweets with them so he couldn't burn himself any more.

The reality of the situation is that the repo creator can't handle internet banter slighty hotter than Facebook for the elderly, got mad, fed the trolls and made things up.

Are you aware that a huge percentage of accepted math proofs have errors in them? https://lamport.azurewebsites.net/tla/proof-statistics.html.

The worm at the core of all formal verification is that we mistakenly believe that a result is absolutely correct because formal logic was employed. Logic can be subtly wrong, even though the argument appears correct. The very act of using logic does not imply actual correctness.

This is not a dismissal of the field - just a warning. There are many mistakes that can still be made when formally
specifying and verifying. To believe otherwise is pure hubris.

> Commit messages like these do not inspire a lot of confidence

It's really not that big of a deal. When it comes to this sort of thing, the important thing is that the tracking code is actually and fully removed. There is no way to tell that from a commit message. The commit message could be written as you suggest and it could be a lie. With a either good commit message or poor, the code still needs to be verified.

It’s decided. Golang is the new systems dev language, not Rust
It’s decided because many more people are using Golang than Rust.

Many more jobs are available for Golang programmers.

Many more software projects are being built with Golang.

Whilst I wish it were Rust…… I prefer Rust, the race has been run and won.

Golang is where you should put your effort and investment of resources. Rusts momentum isn’t even close to comparable.

Golang is the new systems development language.

It’s not as pure as Rust, but more importantly, it’s good enough.

> Isn't it useful for the tool to warn about something that is often incorrect but sometimes intentional?

Only if the total number of warnings across your entire codebase is tiny - 10 is the [arbitrary] number I like to use. That is 10 warnings, it doesn't matter if you are writing 5 lines of hello world or a 100 million lines of a self driving car. When the number of ignored warnings get above that number people start to ignore the tool and then it becomes useless.

If you save IPs to use for fraud detection, then under the GDPR you can't use them for _ANYTHING_ else, and you need a sensible rule for how long you keep them.

>I saw Jack Dorsey's activity liking tweets critical and mocking the current govt.

>but passively liking and expressing your political likings and stance as CEO of twitter is is not cool & ethical.

Let's flip the script for a second here. Is a CEO allowed to like a positive story about the Indian leader? Can he retweet a cause he might care about (which many others might not)?
Does this mean that CEOs abstain from taking part in public discourse or be called as not 'neutral'?

>Jack Dorsey should stop acting like he is the sole flag bearer of the free speech in the entire world.

Can this argument not be pointed to anybody who argues for free speech? Who is allowed to be a flag bearer for free speech?
Good point. Of course open source software has definitely benefitted users in a wide variety of ways: for instance by providing open source tools to help build said software (can't even imagine a world without free compilers these days).

My intent was only to help the GPL and free software fanatics see an important freedom provided by non-free platforms, not to belittle the achievements of open source community.
>It’s like an army recruitment movie for a losing war except this one continues to film after the cadet signs the papers, and then and follows him on camera to his horrible, painful, slow death. Then unironically waves the flag at the end and with a number to call for more info.

This is quite likely the intent. The same style that makes Robocop to be understood as a classic action movie even if the intention was to subvert.
Yeah, that is my impression as well. Mass market film is extremely narrow by definition, and as Hollywood gets more globalized, the themes need to be even more narrow to be widely relatable. But video production costs have plummeted. You could make an incredible and quite experimental film with an iPhone and and a few freelance actors. I think the real problem is our discovery "algorithms" are winner takes all.
I feel the same way. Our shared opinion, though, might not be the democratically weighted norm.

Ideally people could self-select into places with different rules: some with higher taxes and more interesting people, some with the reverse.
Probably the homebrew maintainers have hard coded usage of “HOMEBREW_NO_ANALYTICS”. The PR likely only fixes one instance. Lack of unit tests in PR support this hypothesis.

I would consider a Markov chain to have "the sort of thing that understanding is a more complex version of" of the input data. Markov chains compress inputs. Understanding is compression. So I'm willing to bite that bullet.

I submit that GPT is much closer to the latter than the former, and may even overtake it in its domain. It lacks hardware that the human brain uses to reflect on its knowledge and understand what it is thinking - but just as an "overtuned intuition", just like how AlphaZero's network forms a quite capable chess AI without even using tree search, just by "taking the move that feels right to it", I think it's on par with human intuition, or even stronger, because it cannot rely on reflection like humans can.

(In other words, I think there isn't a spectrum of Markov chains to human comprehension. Human comprehension is a different kind of system. However, there is a spectrum of Markov chains to human intuition.)

I’ve found that almost all new content, TV (includes streaming), Movies and Music just aren’t worth the time.

My two cents is that we’ve both removed the childish, subtle and controversial content and dumbed down the intellectual content.

The good news for young people is that it’s not permanent, it takes time to find voices in a new paradigm, better content will resurface.

Yeah, this is just what respiratory pandemics look like. Honestly, vaccination has been astoundingly successful this time around compared to previous pandemics, and even this news just downgrades it from almost unbelievably effective. The trouble is that the media in many countries has mislead people about how much control it's actually possible to exercise over a disease like Covid-19 in the long term and how effective measures have been in other countries and past pandemics, often so they can blame politicians they disagree with for failing to achieve that level of control.
Makes sense. If a vaccination protects you from catching the disease after being exposed to small amounts of the virus ... once you remove the mask mandate you will be exposed to larger viral loads and may get sick.

> In this case, in a language where constructors were explicit by default and you had to opt in to implicit, you wouldn't need the warning to exist in the first place

A warning that authors of new languages should account for. However most of us have millions of lines of working code, and experience in our current language. As such changing to your new better language isn't trivial. That is before we get into how old languages have had a lot of effort into tools and optimizations that new ones don't have [yet?] thus making the old one better in some potentially important dimensions.
>I'll play the devil's advocate.

Your point is basically "surveillance data is useful". And, well, yes. There would be zero debate over surveillance if there were literally no desirable reasons to have it.
Many Windows applications used to do that. Just search for "crash report dialog" images and you'll find many of them.

Firefox does it too. And it keeps a log of past crashes on about:crashes where you can decide which ones to submit.
I don't like "viral" or "infects" terms because they are kind of derogatory. It is better to explain that derivative works must be under the same license.

Being a smaller simpler language doesn't make it easier to read or write. Go is an even "simpler" language than C, but you quickly suffer from boilerplate-blindness when reviewing it. Being able to write good abstractions can make a huge difference. Having lifetimes, or the use of the semantically-correct integer type checked by the compiler reduces the cognitive load on the writer and reviewer.
> Why is a few snippets of code so valuable anyway?

Microsoft Copilot uses billions and billions of lines of code. It charges for the service. If Microsoft had to license the code, could it build as good a service? If not, then that proves that the (trillions of) snippets have value. Microsoft only says it's valueless because it can get away with stealing it.

It's the same way water is free at the river. But that doesn't mean it has no value. Water has price tags in a supermarket.

When Google photographs billions of streets it at least provides a public service with it and a way to remove yourself.

Centuries ago, petrol was considered useless and a nuisance. Now it's very valuable because it has uses. Microsoft is trying to convince people that petrol has no value exactly because it does.

Just because every line of code is worth millionths of a penny, doesn't mean it's valueless when Microsoft will make billions of dollars off of the service.
