I have a Nubia phone which runs Pie.

Its last security patch is dated August 5th, 2019.

Play Services and Chrome are fully updated.

Where is there an in the wild exploit that you can point me to? Proof of concept or otherwise. I'll happily load it up in Chrome on my phone and let it compromise my system.

Meanwhile there's a zero click iMessage exploit article still on the first page of HN.
Yes, please. Every site has a different pop up which has different text and CTAs leading to confusion.
>Text logs are easy to get at, I don’t need a special program to read

I've seen this type of comment a lot on reddit and I don't understand why people say this. You do not really need a special program to read the systemd logs either, in the event that journalctl doesn't work you can easily use `strings` to read the logs. Feel free to try it right now just for fun, the binary format of journald is actually extremely simple and well-documented and just stores the logs sequentially, it's not "encoding" the strings at all. Why would it need to? It's all fulltext data.
I didn't know big tech companies were still capable of making GUI's that look like this.
i interpreted it as "we wanted to turn the shared buffers ~off, but in a hilarious way that would suggest to someone reading the configuration file that something was going on" (bill gates, mumble mumble)

but, wtf do i know, i'm the crazy guy who tries to interpret comments generously.
Re the failure part: you can just plug in any USB stick with a normal linux distro and it will read it out just fine.

Re performance: Strings are most defintely worse than some fixed size format. It’s not an accident that FPGAs were used to serialize/deserialize XMLs, why Google made a whole new binary protocol, etc. Just think about it, you have to parse a string character by character (yeah some clever vector magic can make some string processing go a few chars at a time), while a binary format with fixed layout will be practically random access. You can query the nth entry, etc.
My brother in law is an electrician.

I had enough EE in college to change a light switch without burning the house down.

However, that book-learnin' fell apart when confronted with troubleshooting a strangely wired room, and I got very polite while asking him over to bail me out.

These fellows eschewing the ivory tower, where being of European extraction and bearing a Y-chromosome on the college campus is an indictment, are going to trade schools and will make fat piles of cash repairing plumbing.

Hopefully, they are gracious with all the Grievance Studies majors who are standing by to condescend in their direction.
Not really, the government can also fund extra to the payouts. Preload with deficit spending.

> You need to revisit Economics 101. High demand -> price rise -> more supply -> price drop. If you set a price ceiling, this will make the shortage worse as the market cannot properly function.

And you need to revisit Economics 102 where they talk about inelastic demand and why some prices are usually controlled at least to an extent ( food, medication, electricity), and Economics 103 where they mention they real world and economy are slightly more complex and have slightly more variables than what Economics 101 started with.

> The only missing bit would be the ability to replicate production traffic, as some bugs only happen under very high traffic by a large number of concurrent users. This is however at best difficult or nearly impossible to do.

Not sure I'm missing something here. Surely you could sample some prod traffic and then replay it with one of the many load test tools out there. You might lose in the geographical distribution, but load testing a web server with 2k TPS sounds a bit trivial.
Depends on what you consider "stolen". In most cases, the manga that is available is translated and edited by fans to make it accessible to English-speakers when the IP owners do not see a reason to do it themselves. The amount of manga that actually get official English releases is very tiny and western licensing companies do not have many incentives to start picking up obscure manga that no one without the ability to read Japanese have heard of. They're much better off going after manga that have already been made popular by fan-translated manga, or have some other property that has caught traction (for example manga with an anime adaptation that has official or unofficial subtitles).
> Yes, this has long term negative effects but I need a job and don’t need the stress of being hounded by administration.

The way to make sure your students all pass is to do your job, those students need a teacher that cares and not one that 'needs a job', and preferably one that does not start off with the self-reinforcing viewpoint that a good fraction of them are too dumb to learn the material on offer.

Seriously, consider changing jobs to something with less of a negative effect on people's lives.

I've been on the receiving end of this attitude and it harmed me quite a bit, later on, with better teachers some of the damage got fixed but I most certainly would have traded two of my math teachers that 'needed a job' for some of the (much) better ones. Thanks to Fred Pach and one Mr. Groot I'm not a total loss at math and it ended up not being my skills but those of the teachers that were deficient.
I'm pretty sure that includes images, that's why people visit the site. Prime time happens when a very popular manga gets released at around the same time every week.
Specifically for Linux, there is no ubiquitous standard with decent performance and a predictable look such as win32 or Cocoa.

Instead, developers rely on toolkits such as Qt or GTK to ensure compatibility, which are usually either bloated or ugly.
I see your point and I wouldn't mind having something like that. However, much of KeyCombiner requires a database. It stores practice results, personal collections, you can change a lesson's combinations etc.

I feel like if I tried to do a demo mode without storage anonymous users would be left with a 2nd class experience and potentially think less of KeyCombiner.

However, there's already lots of things that anonymous users can do: Browse all public collections, courses, and lessons. Use the practice demo on the home page. Search through KeyCombiner's entire database of public shortcuts. And more.

They're doing okay on the TFR front compared to South Korea, Taiwan, or Japan. And their past birth rate being <2.0 helps a lot to limit the likelihood of revolution and keeps them from consuming all their natural resources. The problems you describe are financial. The misallocation of resources associated with the debt fueled fever is a spent cost. They can deal with the population pyramid by letting the old be poor.
He’s obviously wrong.

Most people have various interests and obligations. The number of people who after a day of work in software engineering go on to continue to do that in their free time instead of pursuing other interests is vanishingly small.

Additionally you have people who also just can’t do this, even if they wanted to, due to other obligations.

Obviously there are people who have a very narrow set of interests and leave their office to go to a hacker space but that is such an absurdly small group that it’s ridiculous to even consider them in hiring.

In fact you probably want to avoid having an entire team of people like this in favor of a more diverse group of people.

I hope we, as a society, can rediscover publicly funded infrastructure. If I was in a position of power in my national government I would push for some amount of cloud storage, a web presence and a public image hosting site (among others, this is just off the top of my head), accessible to all citizens, free of charge.

Europe is behind of America in this regards, Europeans are submissive, timid, and desperate. Want to know where are your stock options?

Thing is, without a build in (good) way to do e.g. array types, every program will roll their own. That is lots of duplicate work, and makes having programs interact a manual process of integrating 2 unspecified ad-hoc standards.

Programming languages create idioms and standard ways to do things. We judge those for their clarity and quality. On that front UNIXs "you get a stream if bytes, do what you want" leads to a fragmented world of low quality idioms. And hence gets judged poorly.
Postmodern in terms of programming refers to that body of thought that posits a replacement of the rigid classist structures with a new functional hermeneutics based not simply on truth or falseness but on an interpretation of access defined as a trajectory of internal and external states across the pattern. Most new PDM (post modern development) is actuated in a bias free programming language called "Chomsky" which is a rigid left recursive grammar untainted by Boolean logic.

So far my experience with Banana Pi products has been of great hardware, at great price point, but miserable software to the point of frustration. The best help always comes from good samaritans on GH releasing experimental builds that somehow work, but you have to actively look for them. Anyone with better luck than me has pointers to solid B-PI resources?
In these comments: people doing apologetics for a vision of the world where everyone is born with equal potential.

I am a scientist, I work on these things, and I am here to tell you that:

--Intelligence is largely (~70-80% of variance) inherited

--Your personality is largely determined by genetics and is pretty much settled in to what it will always be by ~30

--If you don't learn to count right by ~4 you never will

--There are, in fact, many people who could never learn calculus

--Sex differences in behavior are driven by genetics and the effects are large

The broad strokes here are not up for debate, and denying them makes you analogous to a flat-earther. The details will change.

There are huge portions of the educated populace who will go to great lengths to spin stories about how it ain't so. They do this because it is comfortable to believe given the normative ethics we were all programmed with as children. Trying really, really hard to believe manifest falsehoods has a lot of practical drawbacks, though. Like the constant, expensive performance of searching for just the right way of teaching calculus to people who will never learn it--public policy that hasn't a chance in hell of ever working.

If you've read this far, and you're feeling upset or angry or uncomfortable with the facts I've listed, I encourage you to reflect on which problems in the world are really important to you. Write them down. For each one ask, "Is continuing to believe in a broken model of how things actually are going to help me solve this problem? Or would I be better off facing an uncomfortable truth and doing what I can with it?"

Thank you for reading my rant, I'll be here all day :-D
Since when does fascism / alt right need facts to further their agenda? Cutting off research funding for sensitive topics does nothing to stave off our fall into dystopia.

If it's ok to do affirmative action based on race, it's also ok to do it based on other genes. I wonder why every progressive in this thread is suddenly afraid of having to discriminate people based on yet-unknown gene factors when their crowd is ok to discriminate based on known skin color (as long as it matches their notion of who should be discriminated against).

To be fair, you don't need to do all 19 lessons. They are grouped by importance and topic. If you just do the first 2 modules you will already feel quite comfortable with VSCode and I think those can be completed in less than an hour with very little prior experience.

On a 5 year old Intel Xeon, nginx was able to serve a 1 kilobyte static file over TLS at 1.2M requests per second. It's definitely possible already.
Is there an example of a task like that? Specifically, ones that don’t talk to a database/files or another service, in which case the talker’s performance becomes irrelevant, unless it is really crawling. Most code “we” write is scheduling queries, glueing datasets together and jsoning the results into a socket through some stream library. IO takes 98% anyway, 2% rerouting and checks. Personally I’m fluent in a range of languages, but wouldn’t ever think of writing networking in C or a similar low-level environment. A mountain of work and skill for something expressable in just a few lines of python/perl/js/ts/lua/sql, zero economy. (Okay maybe an nginx plugin in a critical case when multiplying in instance costs doesn’t help.)
Once again, the June Pacific Northwest heatwave was not caused by climate change. At best global warming contributed a few degrees Fahrenheit to the temperatures. This heat wave was due to a complex set of factors which are possible with a low probability both with and without climate change. Without global warming it would still have been a record breaking event, the kind that can take place once in a century. Unfortunately news media all ran alarmist headlines on this event that lacked evidence, ignoring what actual climate scientists like Professor Cliff Mass of the University of Washington said: https://cliffmass.blogspot.com/2021/07/flawed-heatwave-repor...

It is unfortunate that academics and journalists are abandoning balanced discourse in favor of advocacy.

As for wildfires - we need a significant investment in the management of our lands as well as updated regulation that makes it easier for landowners to thin their forests. Today’s forests are very different from forests a hundred years ago. This talk from a US Forest Service expert describes how today’s forests are problematic and and how the problem is actually a social problem - one of awareness and motivation to act by implementing mechanical thinning, clean up, and prescribed burns: https://www.ted.com/talks/paul_hessburg_why_wildfires_have_g...
Apologies for the delayed response. My thought process at the time was that if they were the kind of folks the company wanted to keep they would have been able to make the transfer. I could be wrong.
LOL, no, a foreign entity can't buy a contract promising to pay X dollars and then demand to be paid in euros or something. The bond is not like a magic lamp that you rub to get wishes. If you don't like the payment terms, then don't buy the debt instrument with those terms.
No way. Being white is definitely a leg up. Well, at least for me, a white guy, no college degree. Life is much easier. I don't think there is any support missing for us, that actually sounds hilarious. We need to work on lifting others up.
I've heard in a few talks how at Twitter engineers have accidentally ran into OOM problems by loading up too big of a follower graph in memory in application code. I think it's a nice reminder that at scale even big companies make the easy mistakes and you have to architect for them.
> Never ‘sharded’ before, no idea how that works.

Sharding sucks, but if your database can't fit on a single machine anymore, you do what you've got to do. The basic idea is instead of everything in one database on one machine (or well redundant group of machines anyway), you have some method to decide for a given key what database machine will have the data. Managing the split of data across different machines is, of course, tricky in practice; especially if you need to change the distribution in the future.

OTOH, Supermicro sells dual processor servers that go up to 8 TB of ram now; you can fit a lot of database in 8 TB of ram, and if you don't keep the whole thing in ram, you can index a ton of data with 8 TB of ram, which means sharding can wait. In contrast, eBay had to shard because a Sun e10k, where they ran Oracle, could only go to 64 GB of ram, and they had no choice but to break up into multiple databases.
Parallel versus Sequential Binding
What they are doing is unfortunately not legal. There were precedents of Cloudflare ratting out manga site operators before which have led to arrests [1] (the person who ran mangamura got a 3 year sentence and a $650k fine [2]). And at some point they were going after mangadex via the same way too [3].

A lot of their infrastructure design choices should be viewed with OPSEC constraints in mind.

I think the more people can learn algebra than OP implies, but as a former math educator my experience also indicates some people are genetically limited in mathematics. For reference, my specialty was working with very remedial students and only ever had a few students not make progress (~2%) but I do think that small percent was genuinely hopeless and I don't say that lightly. I have a pet theory as to why those students could not do algebra that that you might find convincing:

To start, I believe that the idea of "working memory" is largely valid. Think of it as the number of distinct ideas you can hold in your head at once, sort of like trying to hold a phone number in your head when you've just heard it for the first time.

The general consensus in psych is that this number for the average person is in the single digits and is relatively static in adulthood till a decline in old age. It's been my observation that people with really incredibly small working memory cannot do algebra. The amount of numbers/ideas held in their head is too large, and multiple students in this group described the experience of attempting an algebra problem as feeling like sand constantly slipping through their fingers.

Many of these students grew up in rich neighborhoods with good parents. They had most advantages you can imagine, seem reasonably intelligent when you talk to them, but Algebra will always be beyond them.
Heh. I didn't know that about the pronunciation. I can just pronounce it like it's Norwegian! In fact “age” is a (rarely used) Norwegian word, roughly translating as “awe”.

The metaverse.
Some countries have what's called "buyer-funded development". Property buyers invest into shares of the development company which then uses the funds to buy land and build housing.

Investors get much cheaper prices, developers get easy liquidity. The downside is that you have to wait a year or two before moving in, and some theoretical risk. (Which can be managed with proper legislation.)

But the scheme works if you want affordable housing.
The problem with the solution is that it IS quick and easy, but it sets us up for problems later on.

That penalty applies only in blitz-chess.

In regular chess, the rule just helps a player avoid one particular kind of blunder. Basically, it was arbitrarily decided that game records should never have king captures in them.

I would agree that makes it a poor excuse for a rule.
For Linux systems at least, IAP doesn’t deal with privilege tiering. Instead, OS Login handles mapping a user’s Google account to a local account. There is also a program that queries a user’s SSH key from OS Login, and passes it to sshd when asked.

OS Login defines two IAM roles, one for “Can I log in?” and one for “Can I sudo?”. Those are implemented on the system via PAM, so you can add whatever additional restrictions you’d like.

Fetching of user information via OS Login is implemented via a NSS module. POSIX attributes can be customized via the Google Directory API. And I believe Google Groups can be mapped to POSIX supplemental groups, but I’m not certain.

> In other words, the average US citizen has, over the years, been taxed way har

I look at it through the shares of income to the Treasury.

In 1950 the Treasury took in $39 billion, adjusted for inflation that would
be $458 billion today. 40% of that was individual income taxes, 10% was social
security. 26% was corporate taxes, and 20% was excise taxes.

In 2020 the Treasury took in $3,421 billion. 47% of this was individual income
taxes, 38% was social security. 6% were corporate taxes, and 2.5% was
excise taxes.

The individual burden went from 50% to 85% over the past 70 years.
