This seems not to be a thing in the EU at all.

At least in Poland where I live, it's pretty much unheard of. Sure, cameras are required once in a while, sometimes you need to show your student ID, but the scary e-proctoring software doesn't exist at all.

Yet I could understand the meaning.
Jokes - humour in general - are a very interesting aspect of culture because a lot of the time the joke is serious and people are pretending it is a joke. "Comedian" can mean political commentator.

Especially at this point - "joke" cryptocurrency aren't all that different from a "serious" ones. A body can hold a thing, other people have to convince them to give it up voluntarily or they won't. There isn't much more than that needed for there to be a market.

If something is worth 1c, it isn't a joke. It is an asset valued at 1c. People can still laugh at it if they want.

"Thanks" to competitive gaming involving real money incentives these days, cheats have reached the level of custom PCIe cards directly accessing kernel memory via DMA.

So a kernel rootkit is the bare minimum to try and detect these attacks, preventing them isn't even on the table any more.

These anecdotal "I switched to x and its waaay better" things always reek of bias.

I do support on iPhones (not an Apple employee) and I've never experienced the the vaunted "this is so much better" moment.
Interesting. I'm a bit of a hybrid, CLI/GUI user. There are things that I find easier to to in a CLI (or with text in general) and things were a GUI is more natural.

CLIs are finicky and force you to think in terms of text, whether it is appropriate or not. GUIs can be more expressive and haptic, but are typically very idiosyncratic and can get in the way of things.

The data-driven approach to UI seems a bit crazy?

If I think about the problems of any UI, I think in terms of communication, intent, learning, psychology and aesthetics. All of those things are human to human or human to computer related issues.

I think data-driven (as in statistical data derived from user behavior) approaches are or can be useful in terms of "what" to present, prioritize and so on. But much less so on "how", because I think this should be based on experiences derived from direct interaction and needs to be induced by creativity.

And I mean creativity from both sides, the implementer and the user. One thing that CLIs generally do better is to provide composable tools within a adaptive and simple system (pipes, text etc.), whereas it is hard to impossible to let GUIs talk to eachother and compose them to a user tailored whole.

I think we should empower "non-technical" users with the freedoms and sound principles we have come to enjoy ourselves, instead of letting statistical data dominate their experience.

L’Oréal eAcademie: Developing the beauty industry’s largest B2B portal
fwiw, rust behaves differently between debug and release but in both cases the behaviour is defined. In release mode signed overflow is two-complement wraparound.

You can use this fact to insert assertions that check if that happened and you won't be surprised that the compiler removes the check code you just wrote to check whether something happened!

> The compiler to assume that overflow doesn't happen and using that to optimize your program does not worsen the situation too much.

quite the contrary, the situation is much much worse! The C compiler silently removes code you may have written with the explicit intention of checking the effects of something.

Yes sure you have bug; now with underfined behaviour you have an even harder time figuring out you have a bug in the first place!

I'd be slightly less mad at C (copmilers) if it provided me a way of annotation a statement with "please don't optimize this out".

But seriously, just don't exploit undefined behaviour. Programs have bugs; yes when a program hits a bug and continues you can say that the behaviour of the program is no longer defined according the the original intentions of the author. But wouldn't it be much much better if at least you can reason about what the program does according to how the (buggy) program is actually written?

How mad would you be at a debugger that when asked to inspect the state of a variable that has been subjected to a signed overflow, would just lie to you and tell you it has a value it had some time in the past (or worse)?
>“ram effect” isn’t something I can Google (I get pages about farming); the closest I’m familiar with given the context would be ram compression of air intakes in engines, but that’s for increasing the mass flow though the engine, not energy recovery.

ramjet inlet is designed to convert kinetic energy of incoming air into a pressure by slowing down that air, and the higher pressure results in higher efficiency of the engine. In case of scramjet a lot of the energy impacted upon the air pushed away by the hull at those speeds is concentrated in the form of high pressure of the shock wave - so the scramjet inlet is designed to scoop that high pressure air, again for high efficiency of the engine.

>the energy per particle of a fusion reaction is similar to the 14 MeV per particle

option 1. completely absorb the momentum of that particle by the hull and slow down accordingly and waste the collision energy as heat/radiation. Option 2. slow down the particle (thus still of course absorbing the whole momentum) in the EM field thus generating some useful energy and using that particle, if a suitable one, later for fusion - thus recovering significant share or even crossing into net-positive a bit (depends on efficiency of the recovery and the fusion processes)
Hey as long as I feel cool and look cool I don’t care what it does.
Lyft and Uber have already dialed down their competition with each other in many locations and raised prices. If theyre smart theyre probably already hammering out an (illegal) agreement of some kind and figuring out ways to disguise the price rise as a natural side effect of something innocuous.

All I can do is point out that very big names in CS (including Linus) disagree with you: http://www.yodaiken.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/05/ub-1.pdf

This is probably because they’ve seen the effects of the foot gun first hand. They also recall what C/C++ looked like before the standards bodies made exploiting UB in compilers open season. There’s also a reason why Rust doesn’t have any UB in its safe dialect even though it sits on infrastructure capable of most/all the same possible optimizations via LLVM.

There was in fact a direct kernel security issue UB exploitation caused in the Linux kernel whereas without that optimization there is no security issue. if I recall correctly the code looked something like:

Some_value = ptr->value
If (!ptr) { return; }

This worked correctly in all cases before the compiler added the optimization. It worked less well after because the !ptr check was UB since it followed a dereference. It also wasn’t immediately obvious this code was broken because there was no diagnostic nor any indication that upgrading a compiler would suddenly elide the check. The value-add of such optimizations at scale vs the correctness issues exploiting it causes is questionable.

The problem wasn’t that it’s not fixable. It’s that it takes time to find and you may not even find it until after it’s being exploited.
As of January it still was. We locked in $400 for a trailer from San Diego -> Raleigh last year, but on our trip across I tried to add another day and the price was around $1000 because we would lose the guaranteed price I locked in last year before we left. As a lifelong Californian it really sucked making that choice, but the state is getting too expensive and a little over the top politically for me. Maybe we’ll return home one day…

So what's the latest status of this?
I too visited the article expecting to find the results of some survey, but I was not disappointed. It was a magnificent rant.
You're not wrong but that system only works on a very small scale. Do you really think the authors would be amenable to answering 10000 emails with the exact same request?
I agree with your basic view, and if I were a dictator with absolute power, that's exactly what I'd do. NZ and Australia are "the western world", but they happen to be sparsely populated islands. Vietnam and China are totalitarian dictatorships. South Korea, Japan and Taiwan are to their credit more rational and law-abiding, but they've also struggled with surges after they thought they had a handle on it.

I was an advocate for full lockdown in the US two weeks before the government even acknowledged the problem. I was already in quarantine a week before they did, and we isolated on a farm for a year until we got both shots. But the reality is we're in a country where we can't even convince people to get the vaccine now, much less skip spring break.

I don't think it's sending a message that total lockdown isn't an option. In fact, it's an option in the game. Lockdown in EU countries was much more severe than it was in the US. And Czechia is a landlocked nation at the heart of Europe, so closing borders is a wild and drastic thing in that context... much more so than in NZ, for example, which has rightly been called the "bolt-hole of billionaires" for the apocalypse.

I agree that we could have stopped this in its tracks if we had locked down Seattle and New York completely at the end of 2/2020. But I suspect it would have ended up in rural Missouri eventually anyway. And once it's endemic and the only option is to flatten the curve, there's no point in a simulation of a scenario that had no basis in reality, and there's still a lot of value in teaching people what flattening the curve means: preemptively locking down and closing before things get astronomically out of hand.

Recently bought a PS5 controller and while not supported natively on either Linux/Windows, Steam does pick it up without any configuration (on both OS:es).

It's really leveled up my PC gaming experience: I get the same feeling as playing on console with the freedom of PC.
Mathematicians prove symmetry of phase transitions at critical moments
Some tests I've taken required a 360-degree scan first including under-the-desk walk (to show no cheat sheets were glued anywhere) and then required a second device with a side-view of the desk I was sitting at. When I was taking an ETS test for a Stanford admission, they just required 360 room scan and the test itself only with a laptop camera.

The last PlayStation I owned was a PS3, so my experience is admittedly a bit rusty.
Several years ago (Maybe around 2014?), I set up an old Toshiba Satellite Pro 4600 laptop, just to see how usable it was. It had a 1024x768 LCD panel, a Pentium III, and 128MB of RAM - which I upgraded to 512MB. I used the stock mechanical HDD, although in retrospect I think an IDE-to-CF adapter is the way to go (IDE-to-SD adapters exist, but they are slower than a decent CF card).

My memory is a bit fuzzy, but I was able to install Lubuntu with LXDE (or maybe it was some other distro with LXDE?), and browse the modern web with Chromium - albeit painfully slowly. Around 15 seconds to load bare-bones pages like HN. I guess it was swapping to disk...

I did test Firefox too, but it performed worse than Chromium.

Lubuntu has changed their goals a bit since then, so YMMV if you wish to use it today:

Anecdotal evidence, but I heard TU Delft (in the Netherlands) used e-proctoring software like this in some high level exams. So it might not be that black and white. If anything, I'd wager you mostly just don't hear about it because most students have nearly no leverage in situations like this.

> The group presented an attack against 31-round Skipjack that is faster than brute force. Skipjack has 32 rounds, so their attack is just shy of being better than brute force. On the other hand, I can’t imagine that the NSA would field an algorithm with 32 rounds when they could break 31, so I believe that the NSA did not know about this attack. And the cryptanalysts are still working on improving their attack, so it is possible that they will get to 32 rounds.

In the 23 years since that was posted, no one has been able to extend that attack to 32 rounds. Rather than being a case of the NSA not knowing about that attack, I feel it is a case of the NSA being so sure of its knowledge of this technique that they released Skipjack with exactly the minimum number of rounds required to resist that attack.

I went to university a bit later in life. When I was in high school smartphones weren’t a thing yet and cheating in exams was difficult and not common. At university cheating seemed rampant and easy. It was easy to spot the potential cheaters but not easy to prove they were cheating so they got away with it. You just go to the bathroom (in a long exam they can’t exactly stop you from this) and you have all your notes on your phone. There were people I’m surprised got into the university in the first place getting really good grades because of this. It was frustrating but I’m not sure what universities can do in this case. It seems to me that the “exam” process needs rethought entirely. I’m not sure how it could be changed but it is far too easy to cheat now. Like a lot of things in life too, the dishonest people tend to get away with it and manage to succeed while some portion of the honest people work very hard and struggle.

Yes, it is a failing on the side of our political system, but the political system sets the rules that constrain the market including whether or not corporations can pollute for free or rely on foreign pseudo-slave labor. And this means they have lobbied to maintain a market that penalizes companies who don’t exploit the environment and/or slave labor and due to a lack of transparency (i.e., there are virtually no reliable indicators to inform consumers how environmentally friendly or humaine a given product is—indeed many alleged certification programs are shams set up by industry groups to mislead customers into believing they are buying ethical products) make virtually everyone complicit. That’s a heck of a big difference between the hypothetical billionaire and the middleclass family struggling to keep a bit of buffer between themselves and poverty.

Wow, this offhand comment reminds me that there's a vast gulf between US compensation and elsewhere... 130k/y as a "below market" offer...

I doubled my salary between last year and this one and I'm still not even halfway to 130k/y (and I'm happy because it's remote).. .and I live in the most expensive city in South America (more expensive than US midwest & Texas, cheaper than NY / SF of course).

I thought USD 130k/year was a good offer even in the US, I think it's roughly what the Texas-based developers I work with make.
