Targeted ads have been very useful to me, but I do game the system a bit. When I start seeing targeted ads for irrelevant things, I just do some searches for things I like to look at, and shortly thereafter, all of the ads I get are for things I like to look at. It's a few minutes of effort once every couple of weeks, but I feel the results are a lot less intrusive.
I've always considered SELinux a RHEL/Fedora thing.

It's not very inconvenient these days, and those distros include tools that will write policies for you.

Debian and Ubuntu distros use AppArmor.

OpenSUSE MicroOS/Kubic also seem to have SELinux enabled by default, but I believe Leap and Tumbleweed use AppArmor by default.

Other than that, I don't think it's hugely popular. Alpine, Arch, and Slackware have neither enabled by default. NixOS has a working group for SELinux but I'm not sure what state it's in.
By reading the feature set and realising that some of them cannot work without that permission. For example, you can't have a password manager, a CSS style injector, or an ad-blocker without that access.

After taking a quick look at the add-on from the comment above, I bet it's the snapshots feature that requires it.

For folks following along, this is $68K USD in terms of SDA.

These are some of the SUREST ways to make money (if you are connected). If you can get a currency allocation not available to others, you have a license to print money or if you can get loans / access to capital in a devaluing currency situation (ie, the folks getting the big loans in venezueala etc often very connected, paying back pennies on dollar).

My impression is that folks with FC needs - you run a business outside of country that handles the foreign currency piece, then try to just remit in only what is needed. Zimbabwae has the same thing (you can also partner / barter with someone so that their inbound FCA covers your outbound FCA needs so that nothing gets in where it gets stuck or gets what are called preferential allocations. )
> Anyone want to argue why this would be bad, apart from restricting freedom?

Children don't have freedoms, they have whatever their parents decide they can have. As a child in the US, your parents can legally assault you and can send you to what is effectively prison ('military schoool,' but same concept). You rarely hear any complaints about this being a crisis.

If parents in China want their kids playing more video games they can just create an account for them and it's business as usual. This is more of a signal from the top that excessive screen time for children isn't a thing that society approves of.
Every time I have to clean the lint out of the power adapter for my iPhone I ask out loud how a company that has been run by two consecutive denim wearers hasn't had to solve the pocket lint problem.
I've never understood the heavy emphasis on in-interview coding or brain teasers. To the extent that I've participated in the hiring process (both as an IC and a manager), 80% of the interview is assessing culture/personality/ethic fit; that is, the basic "do I want to work with this person" question.

The technical competence check is all retrospective, hearing them talk about prior projects and what the design and implementation process was like, how decisions were made, what the challenges were and how they were handled, any regrets/learnings. And most of that is just digging in far enough to confirm that the person was actually a first-class participant in it with a deep understanding, and not a bystander. Any whiteboard stuff would be "show us how the system worked" as a last-ditch check on basic communication skills.
I’m wondering if you could legalese around it since a PRN is a chip, not a symbol, as the former has no information. So one could spread a low symbol rate into a high chip rate.
I have no opinion on whether playing games for 3 or 5 or 8 hours a week is good or bad for people under 18.

I do feel like a government (never mind central government) having the power to legislate at that level of micro-management is very bad. There would seem to be absolutely no limiting principle to what is appropriate or not appropriate to be legislated if you accept this level of government oversight as acceptable.
If I'm understanding you correctly that means you have to do your compilation from within vim. Isn't that constraining at times?
> Let's be clear: the best targeted ads I will ever see are the ones I get from a search engine when it serves an ad for exactly the thing I was searching for. Everybody wins: I find what I wanted, the vendor helps me buy their thing, and the search engine gets paid for connecting us. I don't know anybody who complains about this sort of ad. It's a good ad.

Not the point of the article, but it's typically the vendors who complain. Other vendors can and do buy up ad space on their keywords, pushing the thing you were searching for further down the page. Search for Miele vacuums, get an ad for Dyson. Now Miele has to buy up ad space for the keyword "miele", which it worked hard to get name recognition for. Some people think this is a bit like extortion, but really it's just the cost of people being able to find your product in 0.00045s. The search engine is just charging the vendor for the service.

This one is significantly different, here fob is pressed outside the vehicle range, and then signal is replayed at vehicle range.

Rolling Code does not help here since the vehicle never received the original signal from the key. Thus it is for the first time played to the vehicle, and no rolling code increment is expected compared to the key's initial rolling code value.

The point of rolling code is that same signal cannot be used twice to open the vehicle.
I think this falls under "extraneous cognitive load" but I could be wrong.

> But is that system good? Is it innovative or useful for a recommendation be constantly asking you to re-watch videos from your history? Is that actually fulfilling any of the promises that the recommendation system was sold on? No, not really. I definitely wouldn't call that a 'smart' system.

It seems to work well enough for Netflix. I probably end up watching stuff in the "Watch it Again" list almost as often as I do anything else.
Yeah I've only been programming since around 1981. Sorry to burst your bubble, but you're not the only old timer around here.

"Whatever that is supposed to mean", but you've still been seeing it? That makes no sense. None of those kits you listed have nearly the same robust quality of UX or DX as Electron. None of the technologies listed here even had a dependency manager (LOL). 3 of the kits weren't even cross platform!

Tolerate it? By making off-topic complaints about it on every post about a desktop app built with Electron, in an attempt to deride the conversation about the actual subject? Without even have a suggestion for a decent alternative?

Clearly there's some sort of disconnect with reality here.
It's interesting and feels like a step in the right direction. I wonder about MRI or CT scans as an alternative to photogrammetry in order to more fully capture hidden details.

I'm also interested in simulation and movement. How SHOULD one capture the default shape and characteristics of a complicated soft structure in order to properly simulate it under gravity or other forces? Creating realistic stretching that takes into account the internal differences between ligaments and flesh for instance, could be an entire field of study.

I'm excited to see where this leads in the future.

With school out for summer, my preschooler is either playing a video game or watching youtube for hours on end. We try to force some time away from screens but it is a never ending struggle, as screen use is the immediate, default state to return to. I find most of the youtube content worse than the gaming, but neither are all that great.
To answer your rhetorical question, because the alternative is spending five times as long trying to hire a senior engineer without the sort of budget that FAANGs have.

And because it doesn't take a full two years before that junior is a valuable contributing member of the team; because they'll likely refer other qualified and/or educable applicants; because they might not jump ship, but be happy to get promoted if you actually reward them comparatively to what another company would pay them.

But sure, if you're not willing to invest either time or money in your employees, then no, you shouldn't hire juniors.
Because you need 10 years of experience in a technology platform that's 5 years old. /s
High experience on paper is in demand. You with a college degree and not having already worked for X titan of the industry, is not. Marketers and managers always run to the cash cow, and ruin it. They have no clue how the job works, they're just following what their professors told them to do when hiring accountants and laborers.

> I hope this doesn't displace Samba.

It doesn't seem to be the objective. For one, this is a very old version of SMB protocol (v3, while SMB doesn't have big releases anymore the current one is v4). Also, Samba have the user space tooling that this project explicitly doesn't want to reimplement. And it seems that both implementations are compatible with each other.

It does seem to me that the main objective here is to have a very efficient implementation of SMB for embedded devices.

I love milk bags. I can dump them in the fridge drawer and they take up hardly any space, they don't weigh ten pounds each like 4L jugs, when empty they have a volume of zero, unlike 4L jugs, and they are way easier to pour. The only downside is they are not recyclable, but it's such a small volume of plastic I don't think it really matters.
You have to differentiate real games from casino games. Many popular games have a substantial casino element and are basically skinners boxes and need to be controlled like casino games. I saw job postings a little while ago for mobile games that require experience making slot machines

There are a lot of games that fall into grey areas, possibly accidentally, and those are harder to deal with. Loot boxes and mmos are so obviously gambling that I don’t even know what to say

> large areas covering hundreds of square nautical miles.

That's...not very large.

> The sub then maneuvers inside that patrol area to remain as hidden as possible.

Given that the same concerns will drive “as hidden as possible” concerns in any sub, that further narrows the space. And unless the decisions made within that space are made in a truly random manner which approaches all equally good options equally (and tolerates a loose enough sense of “equally good” not to excessively narrow the space to start with), common cognitive biases, etc., will result in common decisions.

I was pondering an extreme 'sudoku' with the fewest of possible starting numbers: one. Then I realized you could solve it by starting with any solved sudoku and shuffling columns, rows, block-columns, and block-rows, in a manner similar to learning how a Rubik's cube works. That turned it into a vastly simpler deductive problem. I would say that this was creative but not irrational.
Speaking as a parent of two kids, I mostly agree, but also think that some amount of law-making in the interest of children is appropriate and fair. Drawing the line is the interesting part.
Is this an American thing? Or maybe just a non-embedded systems thing? I live in Canada and was looking for a job recently...got two offers! One was just a casual chat about my experience, the other was a casual chat + take-home exam, which took about 3 hours.

Is there anything that actually scales linearly? I thought the law of diminishing rewards applied to pretty much anything you do.

As someone passively looking, thank you for this. I'll remove Reddit from my list. That is unacceptable. I do 5 interviews a week on average for my company, and if we did that to candidates, heads would roll.

As an interviewer your two objectives are:

1. Ensure the candidate has an excellent experience

2. Collect data points

In that order. Sometimes we run into candidates who make the second item difficult. They fail to complete the specific technical problem. They can't speak about their experiences in detail. We need to drag data out of them screaming. It doesn't matter, your priority is to ensure they feel respected, and leave thinking they WANT to work there.
How was life for the nanny/cleaning/cooking people?

There is absolutely a technical difference, but in 2021 it has become a bit like kleenex. SMB/CIFS are used interchangeably by most folks. CIFS was the specific Microsoft implementation of the original SMB protocol.

They should figure out how to rework the regulations to limit bandwidth, not baud. The intent is to keep a few amateur radio operators from hogging a ton of the very limited HF spectrum. If somebody can figure out how to cram more data into a small slice of bandwidth, more power to them.
"By opaque, do you mean encapsulated?"

By opaque, I mean the only thing you can do is execute them. While this is encapsulated, it isn't at the right level of control.

" but the GUI layer is (imo) definitely the wrong place to do it. When's the last time you wanted to filter, prioritize, secure, or distribute UI events?"

Ironically, the GUI is already that way. Under the hood, enumerated values were passed to your program by the windowing system. It has to be, because there's a serialization layer there. GUI programs already have no choice but to be structured this way, and indeed, also certainly have some sort of filtering mechanism in them to do things like ignore events it doesn't want to handle. You're probably programming at an abstraction layer that is already sitting above that. You think this isn't useful in a GUI precisely because the GUI framework you're using implemented this pattern for you already!

"Your hybrid idea is interesting! Is that doable with Rust in practice?"

Really it's just creating objects that have various inspectable attributes as needed, that also have some trait or something that allows them to be called in a uniform manner. It's not too hard, it's just a bit more structure around what is already there; you basically copy & paste the closure into the method of a new object, and make the capture explicit in the object.

This sounds interesting to me. How would one move into this spaces? I come from a Sysadmin/DevOps backgroud. I have done a lot of scripting over the years, but never any software development. Would it be worth while getting a Masters in something like Data Analytics, or should I focus more on certifications?

My comment is a natural outcome of allowing that. No one is saying China is doing that currently because of this policy. No one is talking about China at all.

It sounds like what you might be after is some content on crackmes/specific RE challenges. I'm not involved in that space, so someone else probably would have better links, but one challenge that was my start in RE was the Synacor Challenge: https://challenge.synacor.com/

It starts off just as a programming challenge, no real RE knowledge required, but if you see it through to the end you'll definitely wind up with a bunch of foundational RE skills. And there are a whole bunch of public writeups online if you want to follow along with someone else's approach.

(Just to note, though, that it's based on a custom CPU architecture – implementing that is the programming part of the challenge – so very much from the ‘learn it the hard way so when you do regular stuff it feels easy’ school of thought.)

The Youtube channel LiveOverflow also has some videos going step-by-step through some RE puzzles, and his content is very digestible.
Even more amazing, only a month later (or before) two satellites collided in LEO. Literally astronomical odds, and the two incidents happened so soon after one another as well.
That's a pretty misguided reaction, considering there's no legal mechanism for this to be enforced in the US.
