The law works fine without needing to be fully general at the base level. This is the same "illegal number" problem that tech people like to worry about but which isn't actually a problem. The law can distinguish between a private key extracted from some system and an arbitrary pair of prime numbers just fine.

This. Even if you work in a small shop, SOC 2 Type II Security is starting to become table stakes for any kind of formal business arrangement. This means you have a formal Change Management process which includes peer review and peer testing.

If you push your code and ask forgiveness in this environment you're risking your company's SOC2 compliance. The auditors are not going to care about the business impact. Their priority is to make sure you're following the process you wrote.

At best you'll get an exception for that control. At worst you'll get a Qualified Opinion. I would not want to be the developer who violated controls and caused the auditors to render a Qualified Opinion. In that case the management response will likely indicate you've been sacked.

Peer review is a good thing. Mature organizations have been doing it forever. It was already endemic at my first real job in '98. We're finally seeing that discipline forced on the industry from the outside. By and large we haven't done a good enough job ourselves so now the AICPA is involved. Get used to it.
much reflection can also be done through the host environment especially since it has full access to the data and custom name sections
Other comments about the phone company answered this better, but the phone company is not offering an attractive option to block all crackpot phone calls coming in.
Sure, but I'd argue that the best way to handle this is to just stick to the already existing paradigms that developers have experience with. It's not like there are any problems which can't be solved without async or tpl, and it's not like Microsoft wants to introduce a similar paradigm outside of the .net ecosystem, so it's just creating an artificial barrier and making the code harder to understand so that they can post clean looking examples on their doc pages.
As the saying goes: not your keys not your wallet. This is the fundamental issue with the anonymity. You can prove you have access, but you cannot prove it belongs to you. The centralized/decentralized conversation often doesn't touch this aspect. When it comes to ownership, at some level, there needs to be a central power to enforce it as ownership is in itself a vague concept.

> Windows keeps waking up for random things, the problem is getting worse with every Windows release

I resorted to removing the power plug from the PC every evening after it kept turning itself on during the night semi-randomly. It was in "suspend to disk" mode, whatever that is in more technical power-save jargon terms, not just "suspend-to-ram".

I spent a significant amount of time going through Windows event logs to find what caused the wake-ups, fixed some, others were too broad to do anything about it. The settings are useless. So is the Microsoft help forum. I won't even try to ask Dell (Dell 8500 PC), they are only good at sending replacement hardware but unable to answer anything related to software (as long as they do the former I came to accept the latter).

I too had my (also Dell) laptop overheat after I had suspended it, thinking it was turned off. It was very hot when I took it out of the bag later, fortunately it was just in time. It seems this mishap caught a lot of people off guard.
The bubble has been ongoing for a decade now. I suppose the challenge will be what is the line in the sand where it isn't a bubble? There isn't a lot of good evidence it is in a bubble.

This thing also poses a real threat to SWIFT and anyone trying to put together a successor to SWIFT. The US has been weaponising international currency transfers for a while now, and China would be facing problems controlling capital flows if people could just send money internationally without much consequence. There are good, selfish, reasons for why governments would intervene.
Way back when they had spinning disks, they were pretty failure prone. Although they were easy to replace, I vaguely remember replacing one myself.
Some of us don’t have workstations capable of running or even indexing our codebases. Jetbrains Projector is the beginning of a remote development story, but VSCode is the only GUI editor taking remote seriously.
Having a sense of humour is not frowned upon here.

Posting low-effort cookie-cutter jokes is frowned upon here, because (1) they usually aren't actually very funny and (2) empirically it seems that communities where that sort of joking is popular are at risk of having it take over until there is nothing but low-effort cookie-cutter jokes.
Ironically, the reason S3 is not available is because of Microsoft.
Serious question: In a place like China with the Great Firewall, can't they simply block crypto connections at the ISP level? Can't they more aggressively disallow VPN connections to locations outside of China? They might not be able to change the ledger but it seems like they could (will?) block access to them.
The problem I have with legislating this type of stuff is in 5 years (or whatever period) there will be a successor to USB C but getting legislation updated will be difficult and time consuming. So instead of being innovative and moving forward manufacturers will get caught on a standard for years after everyone knew it was no longer the right one. And yea, USB-C might last longer then 5 years of course, but there are things that just don't belong in legislation.

I would have preferred that they made the text something more like manufacturers must all agree on a standard every 3 years or something along those lines, to allow for more rapid updates but still reduce the excess, waste and be more convenient for consumers. Not that this is a great solution either, but it at least seems less restrictive on innovation.

To be fair, I haven't read the full text of the rule so maybe there is something to help minimize the delay on innovation, but seeing it came from a government body it doesn't make me optimistic.
Yeah, but it was still an absolute bag of crap, utterly horrible to use in every conceivable way.
Just be yourself.
To the narcissist any criticism of anything they have done, believed, enjoyed or have been involved in is a personal attack, no matter how you phrase it. To you and I, we see a respectful conversation. In the view of the narcissist you might as well have been screaming personal insults at them.

When you see someone getting into a screaming match about why Playstation is better than XBox it may indicate narcissism. If the screamer had chosen the second best option, that would imply they aren't perfect and that isn't something a narcissist is able to process. The internet just allows for the XBox and Playstation selecting narcissists to find one another.
I just mean that the other commenter's expecting it (I think) from experience, saying that that's normal there or that it doesn't come as a surprise to them. Again, not saying it's good and fine or that they think that.
Have we really evolved to the state that laptop portability is an extra feature and not part of the design criteria for the modern laptop? That the sleep capability of laptops, present in various forms since the 90s, should no longer be used even though it's the default when the lid is closed?

I've been a fan of Dell for many years, against so much evidence of what a joke they've become, but this issue may finally tip me over the edge.

Any name brand PCs you trust to buy for family members who want a name brand and the perceived value that provides? (Besides Apple, I guess).
GNOME's attitude isn't caused by them seeking to monetise their software or invigilate their users (e.g. "we say that we're not adding/changing this feature because X, but _really_ we're not doing so because it would prevent us from displaying ads/addicting our users"), but because they have a certain vision that they're stubbornly sticking to, so yes, it is a "good faith bug".

It's rhetoric used back in Yugoslavia, and probably other dictatorships as well. It's always "foreign enemy" to keep the current agenda going. Serbia still has characters from ex-yu wars in high politics. It's sad actually. I hope Serbia gets rid of that and let people prosper.
I am on 13.0, perhaps they fixed it because I can't compile on older iOS versions with XCode 13.0 .
async/await has its place, but your application needs to be designed for it.

The most illuminating moment for me was when I realized that there is no multi-threading involved with pure async/await.
Stability operates on short and long time scales. 2% annual inflation means a currency is worth 99.994% as much tomorrow as it was today which in practice is generally fine.

Even fairly high inflation levels of say 7% annually can still be quite stable on a daily or monthly basis which is all you really need. As most people spend most of their paycheck every month and savings aren’t limited to the currency in question.

By comparison crypto coins tend to have much higher daily and monthly variations which isn’t a big deal for savings, but in practice it discourages their use for day to day expenses.

Why are you so convinced that cryptocurrency solves the "outside forces much larger and more powerful than me have influence over the system" problem? It exchanged a solution to some problems for a new set of problems to be solved.

Does this mean we can finally go back to HTTP for connections that don't NEED to be secure without being attacked for it by security Nazis?

Seriously, though, the far bigger problem is the need for better handling of certificates (often permanent) for embedded servers such as IoT devices. Cert management is still a huge and pretty much unfixable problem for real world deployments once you get outside the realm of propellerheads like us, and recognize that in the real world, "servers" often lack not just professional, competent administrators (which are required even by all current HTTPS solutions), but administrators, period.
I'm not defending Apple but looking at the code published here, it's clear that most, if not all, of these bugs could be caught via static analysis which Apple obviously uses as part of its approval process.

Frankly, I'm a lot more concerned with bugs that have to deal with input handling than SDK bugs that developers can use to do bad things.

This is likely a non-issue for those of us who haven't jailbroken our devices.
As an owner of XPS 15 9560, I can tell you that the XPS line is a gift that keeps giving. 6 generations of XPS laptops since 2021 and they barely fixed most of the overheating issues in that time period, while charging premium prices for each barely-functioning product along the way.
Ex-.NET guy here, can confirm. Coming from JVM-land I was constantly told that async await is something that makes C#/.NET much better than Java. I personally could not understand why. Async await is not as easy as it looks, and most .NET programmers who I knew, would just hammer at things to make it work.

"Hey, this is an HTTPClient call? Put an await in front of it?"
"Oh, is the IDE showing an error? Try .ConfigureAwait(false)?"
"Oh, still some issue? Try putting async in the method declaration?"
"Still showing an error? Remove the .ConfigureAwait() and just try async?"

At some point, Visual Studio would stop showing warnings and errors, and then the code would pass review.

Go is better in the sense that, at least people understand what a goroutine is and how/when to use it correctly.
I hopped off the GNOME train a few months ago, v40 was just too much, too fast, and will likely leave the ecosystem pretty broken for the considerable future.

However, I still really like GTK (even prefer it over QT, in many ways) and have full faith that the Linux desktop will push through. What concerns me is the hypocrisy of the modern GNOME team and how little they listen to the actual community using their DE. They claim to want "less settings and more features" yet remove features with every update, only to be forced into adding feature flags/settings options to add/remove it at the user's discretion. They claim that we're finally going to kill sacred cows, but the File Picker Meme still exists. They claim to respect your freedom, but force you to use Flatpaks and obfuscate their own code to prevent you from getting consistent app theming. It really disappoints me to see a DE fall from grace like this, but I probably shouldn't have been so dependent on a single project in the first place. Here's hoping they can iron out all of the (many, many) issues before the next major release.
Interesting piece by W. David Marx that situates NFTs within the category of Status Symbols. Marx is among the most lucid watchers of culture with a focus on Japan, where fashion and futurism converged decades ago.

I believe the ePrivacy Directive (aka stupid "cookie law") merely required disclosure of cookies but didn't ask for opt-in, so disclosing that you're setting cookies might've been enough.

The GDPR absolutely requires opt-in before setting cookies (or collecting user data in other ways, it isn't specific to cookies even) so the embeds would be in breach. Whether it's the responsibility of the parent website or the embedded element to ask for consent is another matter.
This is misleading. Simply putting the laptop is a bag won't void its warranty. OTOH, putting in the laptop bag while it's on and letting it cook will.

Depending on the task, I find C# async/await more intuitive and complete than Go.

I haven’t used Go for a while, but you can’t await a goroutine, you have to use a channel, which is more complicated than just using ‘await’. C# has channels, so you can replicate Go’s model.
Honestly, it could be either one, and that's what makes this meme so interesting/fantastic/depressing.
"There is no such thing as a "requisite short-term pain to fix the economy". "

It's a pity HN doesn't permit direct messages, because I suspect you'd be hearing from me in less than a year about this bold prediction.

Our economy is an absolute clusterfuck held together only by the absurd productivity modern technology has enabled. We've got zombie companies barely paying their debt load, a economy that is increasingly unable to employ people, supply chains breaking down as the result of decades of very stupid decisions and misallocations, an insane amount of parasitism in our financial services sector which has long since abandoned its proper role as servant of the economy and become its master. We're entering the final phase here where the Fed must raise interest rates to control the inflation that is the result of their already-ill-advised "stimulus" policies to paper over the other failings of the financial sector, and they must not raise interest rates because it will render the government's debt load unsustainable, to say nothing of the private sector's debt load.

We're not merely "not merely growing exponentially", we're contracting quickly and hard. The only reason you don't realize this is that there's this one indicator going up, which is the stock market. On every other indicator the economy is flashing red lights, but the stock market goes up and the Pravda keeps banging the drum about how wonderful the economy is (ignore the increasing shortages, shrinkflation, and unemployment numbers citizen, don't trust your eyes and personal experience trust us) so people who aren't paying attention don't notice.

There's a very, very good reason my post wasn't a triumphalist one about how inevitable it is that China will in fact just go like Japan and the US/West will remain dominant. The truth is the entire world economy is being held together by duct tape and lies. China may be a bit bolder than us in its lies... then again I can't discount the possibility that I'm just underestimating the success with which my own culture is able to lie to me as well. Because lies coevolve with the ones being lied to, the lies in other cultural meme ecosystems are often much easier to discern than the lies told to you in the one you live in.

The fix to this situation requires that a lot of debt that exists now is not going to be serviced, which is to say, defaulted on. Since we've been fixing the problem of "X can't service the debt" by loaning them more money and increasing the debt even more, we've been digging in deeper and deeper and increasing the pain necessary to fix things. We seem to be reaching the point where the situation is going to fix itself regardless of what we do, pushed on by the pandemic response.
I think Synology runs BTRFS on top of LVM, so that may mitigate some of the issues.
It's not really Apple alone. Everyone has a smartphone and everyone expects it to just work when they put their smartphone display to sleep and then stuff the phone in their jeans pocket.
Just curious, why would you keep putting the standby laptop in your backpack after this had occurred more than once? It sounds like hardware russian roulette.
I can live on land. I can't live on a string.

You also ignore the premise being put forth, that Bitcoin as a currency still isn't ideal. You don't think "long term investment" with currency so much as short to medium term. Like, will bread and milk cost 10x as much next week?

"Stop thinking investment and start thinking survival" might be a good way to put it.

> empirically it seems that communities where that sort of joking is popular are at risk of having it take over until there is nothing but low-effort cookie-cutter jokes.

That also seems to be true of memes, trolling, and political propagandizing. Any forum where these things are allowed quickly becomes nothing but these things.
There's no denying the site itself is a bit shady, most of my IP addresses are blocked. I find myself using researchgate hosted full text pdfs pretty regularly the last handful of years. At least a few times a month.

This is far better than there being no pdfs at all. I don't really care about how researchgate tries to run their site beyond this.
I believe the Canadian maple series of gold and silver coins have some face value, and you can spend them like that if you wish. 1oz gold = 50CAD FV, and 1oz Silver = 5CAD if I'm not mistaken. However when you try to bring them across borders they are evaluated at their numanistic value.
It's a small step from working remote to being off-shored.

If the company can pay you to work remotely wherever, they have a world of talent they can utilize to find someone else to do the same work cheaper.

Even if the work is kept in-country, the talent pool of a nation is much greater than a localized region and employers don't need to overpay just because someone decided to live in a high cost area.

Energy is fungible. Unless those renewable-generated watts were unable to be used for other things, then all marginal use of energy uses emitting sources, since we are not yet at 100% green energy. There are a few exceptions where mining is done on grids that are at 100% green energy, but this is not the norm.
Apple are definitely the bad guys in this, at least in Europe. They were the only ones who fought against the 2011 request to align charging ports (every single other manufacturer agreed to switch to micro-USB). It's a shame that it took us 10 years to go from "please do it" to "do it", but here we are at last

- Resistant to centralized censorship (as you pointed out)

- It allows you to use the same passphrase for all services without compromising security since your passphrase never needs to leave your own machine; it is never sent over the wire. You just send signatures to different services.

- The cost associated with purchasing tokens needed to initialize an account on the blockchain would serve as a spam prevention mechanism; an alternative to SIM cards which most centralized services rely on today as a cost barrier to limit the creation of spam accounts.

- Superior integration potential between different services/systems provided by different companies/groups since they can all refer to the exact same account on the same blockchain and provide new ways to unify data between the different services.

Crypto"currencies" are not the only way to store value when an official currency is failing: people who want their savings preserved can get USD, EUR, gold.

> Or is this just wishful thinking from the west?

It's state propaganda. A (clever and very well designed) mix of known government actors and easily influenced third parties that work to push a specific narrative online. The thundering irony is that the west reports on such practices extensively when it comes to China, but the far more obvious actor (visible in the west) is your own government.
The state of cloud billing seems like exactly the result you'd get if you didn't have a strong mandate that product teams implement a unified, centralized billing interface.

And it makes sense from a growth perspective: new products grow revenue, bad billing systems only annoy customers (but mostly invisibly).
C# was my first exposure to async/await back in 2015 and I initially had trouble wrapping my head around various details (i.e. ConfigureAwait etc.). I think the languages that have done best job in removing all that detail are Go and Elixir (Beam based languages). Which if you pay attention removed the overhead of rewiring your brain to do async/await all the way down. I repeated async/await systems recently with Kotlin coroutines in JVM world and again same problem, this time due to my prior knowledge I did hit the ground running but avg Joe had to relearn.
