> AES256 could be broken tomorrow, or maybe it has already been.

This is extremely unlikely.

> What we know is that, extrapolating compute speed from the past decades and even assuming quantum computers become useable in practice, the best algorithms we currently have cannot be brute-forced within the next 50 years.

Quantum computers only offer a quadratic speedup against symmetric ciphers.

AES 256 will survive much longer than the next 50 years against brute force attacks.

It will either be broken spectacularly, using theoretical methods entirely inconceivable today, or live on – brute force is of no concern at all due to the amounts of energy and matter required to perform it against 256 bit keys.

[Python-Django-React Fullstack Developer]

If you are looking for a technical architect for consultation or a full stack developer, who can help you with development, you have reached the right place. My goal is to make sure that my clients are 100% satisfied with the work that I perform and that their solutions are built to increase usability, revenues, and user experience. I can guarantee that the time you spend talking to me will be worth it!
It is better when others have skin in the game and you are protected from risks. The fool doesn't learn from his own mistakes, the smart one learns from his own mistakes, the wise learns from the mistakes made by others. Very wise Azure people are. :)
Weather is unprecedented here in the Nordic Countries, is not just the heat. I hope we can stop this change soon.
Did you actually read the article? This individual received hundreds of vile messages and his contacts and family members were harassed.

If you think this represents teenagers in their natural habitat, either that natural habitat is a jail or you’re not aware of how deeply fucked up this is.

Frankly, the little fuckers should all serve time for this. If you wanna act like a gangster from the safety of mommy’s basement, maybe it’s time to meet some real gangsters.

Not in Europe. Mercedes was the Mercedes of cars when the S-Class was the pinnacle of automotive technology and only the rich and famous could afford them so they also had exclusivity going for them.

Nowadays, the S-Class is no longer nexus tech and thanks to cheap credit and rock bottom devaluation on the second hand market, they're not at all exclusive that even in the poorer parts of town where I live, there are lots of Mercedes and in Germany they're used as taxis.

Thank you for epitaphs. It was a great resource and ensured relationships were maintained even after people left the company.
Fair enough, I was referring to the "Be prepared to see posts they like about" part of the argument where Twitter shows you random likes of people you follow in your stream.
I am (slightly) contemplating this (see also Reddit discussion: https://www.reddit.com/r/programming/comments/oe9oia/wikiped...). But currently I am mostly focused on deducing atomic selectors that would be useful and choosing their interaction. The particular syntax is kind of afterthought.

Though, I should say that I am still not sure GraphQL's mental model would work here (WikipediaQL for now structured around "which part of the document to choose and how to transform it", with "where to put it" being the final statement just of some branches; with GraphQL, as far as I can understand, each node is "where to put it"-first, and it _may_ lead to clumsy and repetitive queries).
I'm not going to dispute the author's lived experience and their personal attitude to movie watching, but the arguments seem so alien to me.

Being tired of an entire medium because there are patterns and tropes would, to me, be like being entirely bored of music because most of it uses similar scales and chord sequences, tired of nature because, well, you've seen a lot of trees before, or, heck, being bored of being alive due to all that boring breathing, eating (how many food groups are there, really?), and copulation (only so many positions..) you have to partake in.

I watch a few hundred movies a year and continue to be blown away by the diversity of the experience, much as I do when reading, watching YouTube videos, meeting random strangers, or even reading Hacker News comment threads.
> With literature, you grow as a reader and work your way up to the greatest works, many of which are quite difficult.

Same principle is applicable to movies.

This is because author didn't worked up their way to the greatest work.
I doubt this will catch on. What's the incentive for the software companies to add it?

I like the `source do-not-track.sh` idea better which defines a bunch of `WHATEVER_NO_TRACK := 1` variables. It could even modify config files for software that doesn't use environment variables.

Or even better yet, just use a /etc/hosts file or a custom firewall.
Hilarious. You act like they were paid minimum wage to do their jobs.

They didn’t care about the money is very different from they weren’t paid good money.

I don’t disagree that corporations will exploit you given the opportunity, but software engineering is a very low priority on that list.
> GDPR had a great potential, it's sad it was unable to do it's best.

Given the massive backlash against the GDPR and "cookie walls" by newspaper publishers, it's doing a pretty good job. Can you imagine a company like Apple whipping app vendors into shape regarding data collection without GDPR pressure?

The US DoJ couldn't do that because Section 230 in the US is different from Section 79 in India. In particular, India's Section 79 includes the clause:

An alternative for this would be creating a small tool which enables all these variables while the DO_NOT_TRACK=1 is not adopted widely.
What you're both saying is there is licensing ignorance. People read "open source" ignore the small print, get in trouble. GPL isn't special there, EULAs and enterprise software licenses are horrible, but I can understand the broader point that GPL makes you think, and thinking hurts.

The point I maintain is, in Id's position at the time, a MIT/BSD license would have just cost them their engine business. Their code would have been everywhere, but they'd lose the business case for future open sourcing. The net amount of usage would be way down on what we have today.
From a use standpojnt; sure, this would be nice.

But the developers of these tools probably don't want to do that, because now if it's opt-out it would be opt in by default. Also there it would be harder to allow tracking for individual tools only.

This proposal is an example of narrow thinking. However come up with this, would like to opt-out easily as a user, which is understandable, but the world is more complicated like that.

I wonder what percentage of „movies and tv suck nowadays“ is just the poor discoverability on Netflix, Amazon, etc.

Does Netflix license content with a pay per view model, so that they will get the content for those who are seeking it, but wont offer unless requested?
The notion of a standard language is a modern idea (not in the sense of modern vs. postmodern, but historically).

The idea that the only valid basis for distinguishing between dialects is geography strikes me as odd, but suppose we accept it as a premise. Why is it less valid to allow correctness to be defined, say, with respect to local borders as opposed to the borders between countries?

About the greatest sin you can commit on the Internet is to ask for participation openly and then ignore it.

It happened to YC over their “HN votes for who gets a grant” and it happened to this dude over “What do I call this fork?”

Contrastingly, Pitbull is beloved for his choice to go to Kodiak after a joke campaign to send him there managed to manipulate the Facebook poll he posted.

Of course people will have half a dozen reasons why their participation in this thing is meaningful but this sort of thing is a strong predictor for their behaviour.

It's fine, you have to press the key right next to the backspace key plus shift. Not exactly ergonomic, but easy to discover on basically any standard QWERTZ keyboard. I'd definitely like a fenced alternative. I'm okay with indentation-based code, but somehow I really dislike using it in my writing.

I don't own a gun nor consider myself much of a "2A advocate", but I do think the complexity of the problem is under-appreciated. First off, we had decades of declining gun violence while total guns in circulation were dramatically increasing [0].

Gun violence up-ticked somewhat around 2015 and then stabilized, and then starting in late May last year began a dramatic rise[1] that has not yet subsided, a rise as far as I know was not seen in any other developed country during the pandemic. Many people also seem to not understand that the vast majority of murders are committed with (usually illegal) handguns[1], so the common focus on "assault weapons" like the AR-15 seems illogical given how few murders they account for annually.

I would be very supportive of stronger laws/regulations against carrying guns in public and significant penalties for anyone violating those rules. If someone wants to legally carry in public they should clear a very high bar. The problem is that any serious attempt to get illegal guns off the streets is going to run into 4A and other constitutional challenges and political backlash (and not simply from gun rights advocates). The police in general have become incredibly controversial over the past year, much less heavy-handed preventative policing and gun violence task forces which have run into criticism and defunding over tactics and targets. Violent and especially repeat offenders in general also need to be kept off the street - even among violent criminals a small minority commit the vast amount of violent crime.

The reality is "gun control" advocates have the luxury of hand-waving away the incredibly difficult to intractable implementation questions, when on the ground we had more actual real-world "gun control" in 2019 than once the nationwide protests and anti-police sentiment took hold in 2020. Anyone who tried to point out back when this was gaining steam that the likely consequence would be increased violence was shouted down with ad hominems, and now that the violence has shown up statistically we're back to the hand-waving about "gun control". Is there any actual proposed gun control law you're endorsing and some evidence to back up why it would be likely to make a significant dent, and how many people would you predict the police will need to arrest to enforce the law?

The primary pragmatic step in gun control is taking violent / illegal-gun carrying criminals off the streets, and the decline in political appetite for actually doing so coincidentally coincided with the dramatic rise in violence we now see.

> It’s my impression that variations are mostly in the accent and vocabulary, not the actual conjugation of verbs like “to be.” Is that correct?

No, not necessarily. Some examples here: https://www.bl.uk/british-accents-and-dialects/articles/gram...

> The conflict would be if Kerry dialect speakers started insisting that the BBC write articles in their dialect and not in the society-wide one.

Kerry's in Ireland, not the UK. However, the BBC has had newsreaders with regional dialects for a while (since WW2!: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/smart-news/how-north-england-... )

In terms of written news, the BBC has news in West African Pidgin (which is on the cusp between being a dialect and a language; it's comprehensible to English speakers): https://www.bbc.com/pidgin . They also have some content in Scottish English (a dialect) and in Ulster Scots (generally considered a separate language, but largely comprehensible to English speakers).
The altertnative approach (and maybe more realistic from what I could see from the PR they opened) would be to compile a list of all those variables and build a file one could source to disable all known telemetry (it could include that variable and allow things to migrate progressively)
> In some areas MS Office is still far behind LO. Especially when it comes to not like a noob styling everything directly via bold, italic, font size and so on buttons, but actually making things a style, and keeping the document free from direct styling

With Libreoffice lacking a proper Outline Mode (no, the Navigator doesn't count), I find style-powered document structuring difficult to do in Libreoffice whereas I pretty much live in Microsoft Word's Outline Mode.

> Tourniquets are definitely a last-resort measure and an untrained provider using one can certainly cause more harm than good

This is a bit of a stigma that is starting to get cleared up. Tourniquets should be a "first resort" for significant bleeding in a limb that can't be easily controlled with direct pressure. Protocols used to involve all sorts of additional things to try (elevate the limb, use pressure points, apply more dressings/pressure, etc). Now it's "Squeeze the wound with gauze and a gloved hand. Did it stop? No? Apply a tourniquet."

Assuming someone gets to a hospital within a reasonable period of time (where "reasonable" is "within a couple hours"), there is very little risk in applying a tourniquet.
So they are not using RUST because it is bloated but for other will be ok to use it. Linux kernel is already quiet bloated so i don't see what rust can bring.

This might just be my problem, but I really hate subtitles. It takes me out of the movie and in dialog heavy movies completely pushes out the visuals.
I see your argument, and after having browsed around on your homepage and such, I see that you are a reasonable guy.

Is it really so hard to believe that there are legitimate reasons for wanting to anonymously acquire a domain name? One of the selling points of crypto currencies is the ability to do anonymous payments. That's multi-billion dollars big (even if one considers most of that somewhere between "scam" and "bubble"). All sorts of people desire anonymity in what they do, not just criminals. The GP may not have made the case very well, but minorities are certainly weary of being tracked, so are one example of a group that may desire an extra layer of protection.

It's not hard to imagine other groups. Dissidents, folks who want to keep focus on message instead of messenger, whistleblowers, .. It may be hard to see this from a privileged point of view (mine certainly is), but that doesn't mean it's not real or that only criminals want anonymity.
That's a good idea; it doesn't require buy in from the tool developers.

I live a few blocks from where the Surfside building came down. The ocean is eating into the shore line all the way up the beach. And the building that collapsed is by far not in the worst condition out of the buildings on that stretch of coastline.
Given that they devote a section of the notes to discussing efforts in supporting multiple architectures and, explicitly, GCC, you'd figure that some do find those efforts are worthwhile and relevant.
What you're describing is mostly an implementation detail to me. The point of this example is not that you can't do it in a higher level language. The point is to illustrate the power of being able to create a list of code as data. Everything else is implementation detail.
Rust has far more enthusiasm from potential contributors than any of those options. Onboarding something is meaningless if it's not going to be used and maintained.

FWIW I would trust anything language-level over applying static analysis tools to C (for an evolving codebase like Linux, having the safety be a first-class part of the codebase is a must) or extracting C from another language (the semantics of C are surprisingly weak, such an extraction can only ever be as good as your model of C which will probably be buggy).

> Given the amount of money at stake for beating the search algorithm, shouldn't we expect any search engine to decline in usefulness over time?

Internet search algorithms should be worth significantly more (and I imagine that this is the case; e.g., I doubt that the combined value of all spam sites together matches Alphabet's market cap).

Given that internet search companies should also have an edge acquiring talent, you would expect that internet search algorithms would win this fight.

In the cases you list, you have other legal basis for processing than consent – i.e. legitimate interest – but that doesn't mean it's not personal data.

Indeed, IP-addresses are considered [0] personal data in some cases – which only really means that you need to follow the GDPR: have a legal basis for processing, do not process the data for reasons other than that for which you have a legal basis, delete it as soon as you no longer need it, implement protective measures, etc.

a couple of things:

1. rust is easier to read than c/c++

2. The toolchain is llvm based and much nicer to use than c/c++. Hell your build scripts are also rust

3. Given the choice to develop in c or rust I would choose rust

4. In my own experience I have found rust to be simpler to Deal with correctness than c/c++

(I have been both a rust and c++ developer)
