The article mentions a similar exploit in 2018. There was also one in 2009: https://www.cvedetails.com/cve/CVE-2009-0196/
I expect that they don't lie on their public website. This is what WhatsApp says on their own website https://faq.whatsapp.com/general/security-and-privacy/answer... :

Neither WhatsApp nor Facebook can read your messages or hear your calls with your friends, family, and co-workers on WhatsApp. Whatever you share, it stays between you. That’s because your personal messages are protected by end-to-end encryption. We will never weaken this security and we clearly label each chat so you know our commitment.
This comment has a fascinating structure. You laid out what made amiga a great product in human terms. But when describing what can be like that today, there were no human terms just technology. And that is the pitfall for which the last part of the comment gives the reason. We really do not have much to guide us any more. The things golden age of scifi put as guidance has been more or less achieved.
God I'm so tired of this take. "All code has bugs." "Everyone writes shitty code, some just make it less shitty." ad nauseum.

I don't know where this started (more, when it got popular) but it's such a cop out and lazy argument to anything safety-related.

It adds nothing to the discussion and provides no insight or substance, yet people parrot it often, especially around "language lawyer"-type HN articles.

Moreover, it's wrong. Not every function has a bug. Yes, there are ways to prove this. No, not every function needs to protect against the computer being struck by lightning, or any other fault, in every case. It's such a weird and wrong argument and it's always said with such confidence.
Some measure of employee quality, as evidenced in the interview. To make this simple, let's take an exam instead of an interview:

* Let's say I was hiring someone to do calculus.

* I want applicants who typically score at least a 90% on a calculus AP. The exam has a std. dev. of 3 points.

* I get an applicant, and I give them an AP exam.

* They score a 91. What do I do?

That means they are 1/3 of a std. dev. above my cut-off. They might typically score 88 and got a little bit lucky, or even 85 and got very lucky. Or they might typically score a 94, and got unlucky.

If I hire that person, although they're probably qualified (assuming a uniform distribution of applicants), I'll get a lot of bad hires.

To avoid that, I set the cut-off at 93% or 96%. This means I intentionally reject most people who meet my cut-off. On the other hand, if I hire someone, I can be pretty confident they're qualified.

The cut-off needs to be high in part since the distribution of applicants isn't uniform. Most applicants are unqualified morons. Qualified people will apply to a few places, and are quickly hired. Unqualified people will apply over, and over, and over, everywhere they can.

This sounds a bit like cheating. What if you want to parse a really big file and delete the tokens as soon as you don't need them?

If Rust claims to solve memory management, then we should not fool ourselves by allocating everything in a huge chunk which is then freed when the program ends.

You would come to the exact same result if the response had been even more rigid (depends on locality I guess). You could argue that any lockdown just delayed the inevitable. And some already said that this is the only goal until a vaccine is found.

Now since we have some and many people had the ability to get vaccinated, it is almost sensible to drop all rules again.
Never heard of FSNotes. Looks like it could replace Bear for me. While Bear is quite cheap, I'd like to have as little subscription services as possible.

> One could easily imagine that the performance and stability should be a lot higher than with Heroku.

No, I can’t imagine that. Why would performance be any different? I imagine most of these kinds of solutions use Docker behind the hood anyway, so they’re likely to be identical.
It's weird if even WhatsApp says it's not possible (see my other comment).
"Of the 100+ customers, I'd say about a third of them are interested in that x86ish of our ecosystem," said Gelsinger.

Put another way two thirds are not interested in x86.

Sorry to say that this article reads like an Intel press release.
Where’s the part where they send a device to detect microwaves or sonic waves, and find them? How come it doesn’t occur to journalists to ask this? As per the article, they found the signal in Moscow, and there weren’t even symptoms to prompt them to do so. Another commenter mentioned “triangulation”. It’s less than that. There is no reported observation of a signal of any kind. History Channel “ghost hunters” are more serious than this.

Why is "VGA" mentioned? Does the fix only apply to monitors with a VGA interface? This looks applicable to any monitor with a internal power supply.
Temperature is not a very good quantity to gain intuition about plasmas (or heat transfer in general): the temperature of the electrons in a incandescent light bulb is around 10000 K, which seems very hot, but since their density is much lower than the air density, the powers involved are quite small and a light bulb is pretty safe to touch.

In the same way, a fusion plasma doesn't hold that much energy because of the extremely low density (4×10^-6 that of air). An explosion (a runaway/chain reaction) is also not possible: the reactor must continuously supplied with fuel or the fusion reactions will stop in a matter of seconds.

There are situations which could result in significant damage to the reactor components, but still not a public safety concern. Distruptions are events in which the plasma confinement is lost and a large amount of heat is released that could damage all components that face the plasma, but reactors are designed to withstand this.

Another drawback, if you like, are runaway electrons, which are populations of relativistic particles that become unbound and penetrare the vacuum vessel for several mm. Again, this is not a particular issue from a safety point of view, but they can do a lot of damage: if they hit a magnetic coil and cause a loss of the superconductivity state, the coil can heat very rapidily (due to the huge current that goes through it) and potentially melt. Replacing such a coil could cost years of maintenance, for this reason reactors are build with many fallback systems.
There was already some bad feeling towards Docker, because they historically haven't fixed bugs or added requested features.

When Docker started asking for money for their desktop offering, it prompted people to start wondering just how valuable that offering was, and to compare it against competing applications. Also, a lot of developers I've spoken to just don't see the point of the Docker Desktop on Mac; they just want something that sits in the background and works without bugging them to update every other week.

Podman fits the use cases people have, it's open source and has more useful features than Docker Desktop currently has.

You're correct in that this sounds petty and silly, but there's history and context to this widespread move to ditch Docker.
Metroid Prime's Crunch Was So Bad That It Nearly Broke Retro Studios
Maybe, but maybe not. If you're using Python/JavaScript and have a ton of dependencies, most of your deploy-time is gonna be spent downloading dependencies. If the host you're using is specifically setup for Python/JavaScript, they can run a registry mirror with 100% of the packages right next to the host, and remove basically most time spent downloading the packages.

Same goes for other time-consuming activities like code coverage or even running the tests. If the applications running on the platform are somewhat heterogeneous, then you can start doing really aggressive performance work.

The idea for Tellspin came from a problem I had seen in two of my previous jobs.

They had #support slack channels that were out of control. Support team members were constantly using @channel for big and small problems. Most of the issues could be solved by any developer. The problems they raised were sort of urgent, but certainly not urgent enough to notify everyone.

Because of constant interruptions, developers shied away from #support channels. Some even left them completely, causing even more @channels...

At both of my previous jobs I made a simple rotation bot to help solve the issue. That's how the passion for solving this problem came about.

Now I spend my free time making a simple way to have an on-call rotation using slack's user groups.

I thought it'd be fun to mix up the typical explainer videos and make one with epic music. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
Exactly, and lots of developers don't need a desktop UI. They just want something that sits in the background and gets out of their way.
> In contrast, layers of compilers tend to be rather loosely coupled, so you don't have to think about parsing at all while working on semantic analysis.

I agree, this is a illustrative example of data coupling: Very loose, easily observable and there are even nice visualization techniques for certain steps. Each can be understood and tested in isolation.

Also how vertical is the "vertical" approach really? In a first iteration you ought to lay the foundation of each component. Later you just add additional branches/structures so to speak.

This is fine, but I think there is a minimal sub-language that you want to implement on the first iteration, that is sufficiently small to not to get lost in the more hairy details, but large enough so it presses you to find a 'workable flexibility' for each of the components.
Indeed there were probably truck drivers in the area who were already experienced with winter driving on bald tires. If not, they could have brought it up to Da Frozen Tundra, aka Green Bay.
The other poster made some very reasonable suggestion. The answer is largely depend on your app architecture. For example, if it's as simple as an web-app + db, then docker compose image should be sufficient. Do your best to extract some of the more generic features such as email list, storage, log server out of your app and have a shared service for those if possible.

Honestly, managing on-prem VM is actually one of the easiest thing to do in my experience if the entire architecture is in a single bundle.

For the rest of your customers, you can still run K8s. If you aren't concern about scaling, then run webapp + db in a single pod. This is somewhat of an anti-pattern because it changes your ability to scale. If you do want to scale for an individual customer, then move db into its own pod, and then connect to it from your webapp.

Personally, I would rather run your ephemeral load such as webapp in K8s, then run databases on VMs to make it a bit easier to manage.
So... assuming there are bad guys demanding access to your data and you say "oh yes, I've been using this plausible deniability encryption/archive format", chances are that they're going to torture you for about exactly as long as they want until they get the data they want.

Also – assuming you have three layers of equal compressed size in your container, and you provide two passwords, can't your interrogator see that only 2/3 of the container file gets accessed, and has a reason to believe there's more data to be found?
If you're specifically interested in Amiga demo programming a scene insider has a nice Youtube series running:

It's quite enjoyable to watch at the beginning explaining basic assembler but also Amiga specific hardware programming like "copper lists". It gets pretty hardcore later on which was too much for me.
Price.

It is easy to start on Heroku. With one app, one process.

When you have multiple apps and several processes there is a way to reduce costs and not loose in convenience.

$10/mo droplet can hold plenty of apps and it is still $10/mo. If you don't need a production grade Database – Appliku has them at 0 cost.

Back in a day I moved several of my side projects to Heroku. I was happy until i received a $90+ invoice by the end of the month. Now a $10/mo droplet holds even more projects for me.
Hard to follow this because I'm mostly on the consuming end of CIs or occasionally do some basic things. Although I've recently tried GHA, setting it up from scratch even for complex setups seems almost trivial. But the security of GHA seems more than shaky.

> I think this is a big design flaw in GitHub Actions. Whenever there is a security patch, you have to make sure to apply them in every branch.

On the other hand I think every action needs to be initialized once on the main branch.
That's exactly what's happening. They're banning the use of the resin symbol unless it's also recyclable (by California standards), to reduce consumer confusion.
Having recently started low dose Concerta about 3 weeks ago after an ADHD diagnosis at 37, I can’t really say anything directly about productivity yet. What I can say is that, for me, it has made the non-interesting parts of work and life way easier to do: paying bills, keeping the house tidier, sitting in status meetings, carefully reading through project plans and requirements documents, managing unread email, etc. Additionally, I have made exactly zero impulse purchases since starting, which would generally not be the case over a 3 week period.

Many people report feelings of “wearing glasses for the first time” after their first few doses of either amphetamine or methylphenidate. I haven’t had that kind of wow moment yet, but there has definitely been a subtle shift in my behaviour.
This is a case where the proposal is actually worse than the headline, I think.

From a non-paywall source: https://calmatters.org/politics/2021/08/california-recycling...

> Despite the best intentions of Californians who diligently try to recycle yogurt cups, berry containers and other packaging, it turns out that at least 85% of single-use plastics in the state do not actually get recycled. Instead, they wind up in the landfill.

The plastic resin is recyclable, but is not commonly recycled and this act seeks to remove the marks that serve to indicate the former because of the latter. I can’t see how that will increase recycling in CA, nor be likely to leave CA citizens nor environment better off.
Maybe it’s currently just a test to see if it works & can be gotten away with.

Does anyone know how powerful it would have to be and therefore how mobile it could be?
> just a software change

It's not "just" a software change. It's a huge political and organizational issue. It has been proposed and agreed and disagreed and fought over for many years, with no plausible change in site.

Turns out, changing fundamental limits of a truly distributed system is actually very hard. True, not entirely for engineering reasons, but that makes it even worse - engineering can in principle be solved, people problems can be forever.

You’re absolutely right. One of the affected people claimed in an article that I read that they were attacked in the street in the middle of DC. If this tech exists and is really so portable, seems like you could do a lot more damage than just making some CIA and State Department employees retire early.

Bundling Python inside an Electron app
Some JS stops me reading the article after the first paragraph or so. But it seems to about using that specific "three arrows" symbol.

One annoying thing I've noticed in the UK is some products having a symbol that looks a lot like the recycling symbol but upon closer inspection is not the same symbol. It turns it can be processed in a specific plant of which only one exists in the entire country. I doubt many get sent.

As many HNers are aware, plastic can't really be recycled at all. It can be reprocessed, but never recycled. That plastic tray your food comes in will never become another plastic tray that food comes in. So the recycling symbol doesn't seem to mean much apart from being a way to help people sort their waste.
Since the title specified a resolution, I assumed a VGA CRT with a DB15 connector. (Not an MDA, CGA or EGA) I was all set to warn you kids about the dangers of CRTs, high voltage, Xrays, and of course the implosion if you break the neck of the tube... and instead got bad capacitors on LCD displays.

Regardless of what the safety standards say, you should always remove power, and short any capacitors with a screwdriver or freshly checked jumper lead, as bleeder resistors (and jumper leads) fail. LCD backlights with cold cathode fluorescents use quite a bit of voltage, so be careful, and good luck!
Certainly, but making one that strong is essentially impossible even if you have a convenient pair of black holes.

In large orgs this always translates to no one knows shit.

What a beautifully written piece. The statistics about childhood COVID risk need to continue to be broadcast far and wide in context of the other risks of life.
What is the value in these types of articles? They contain virtually nothing of any value, and quite often poor advice. Who benefits by their existence? Is it an attempt to subvert search engine indexers by creating more "linked-page-mass" ? (a blog like this will have a body of large number of similarly vacuous articles, with the odd outlier of value, as well, I would expect)

I am mystified by the large amount of empty content on the web nowadays and would like to know why it's there.

Glad to see that it was resolved quickly, and that the canal is being upgraded to make it more resilient to things like that.

That article was much more informative than I thought it would be, there's some interesting background on previous public research on the topic of microwaves, but what was completely new to me was the fact that such cases go back decades.

Slight off topic, but I do see a bit of a parallel between medical teams claiming that those are psychogenic illnesses and the way "long covid" has been considered by some practicians. There's a bit of "if we can't measure it, you must be (unconsciously) making it up". It's rationally convenient.

In the "Havana Syndrome" case, the article claims that some blood markers have been found recently that correlate with brain damage (as long as measurements are done immediately), which certainly helps. But the mix of secrecy inherent to diplomacy and classical governmental bureaucracy makes considering it psychogenic a very satisfying solution to push the problem aside for years.

You certainly see that in business. My corporate customers don't want to install anything on the desktop other than Office (and I don't think they like that very much).

This isn't new, I remember talking to the CIO of a big bank twenty years ago about this.

On top of that users quite like software delivered through a browser as it allows them to bypass their IT department.

From the consumer side it's more about costs, people will tolerate all sorts of shit as long as it's free.
In theory it sounds worse, but in practice I have the impression that crypto has a much worse track record in terms of the percentage of people and currency that have been victimized by theft.

If big banks were being stolen from at the same rate as crypto exchanges, the news would be pretty Wild West.
The sandboxes would have to be both secure and transparent enough normal users can get their work done. Hardware support would also be a huge factor. I doubt it's possible by anyone less than a FAANG company, and there isn't much money in the prospect, IMO.

The resin symbols were purposely made misleading to let consumers think that plastic was recyclable even when it wasn't. I don't think banning them would be that bad.

Good points on tax transparency. Add-ons are itemized on air tickets in USA, though things like airport remodeling costs are opaque.

Expensive 'raise arms under arrest' full body scanners aren't advertised as opt-in by TSA, but they are voluntary. I always go through standard metal detector only.

Maybe the masses don't care enough about cost/ benefit and allow career beauracrats to run wild designing 'security'.

Did you know the food store workers near the gates walk around TSA screening at most airports? Crazy.
There are only stupid reasons to test a secret weapon in the exact place you want to secretly use it later.

So these aren't intended as tests, they are either intended as attacks or else just something that USG employees get for other reasons.
