The article mentions Process Explorer. Since Sysinternals were bought by Microsoft many years ago and the tools are distributed directly via Microsoft, such tools are unlikely to have an issue being signed.

A brief history of the process for those not following it. Originally for kernel-mode drivers, you needed a code signing certificate cross signed by Microsoft's root. This means that the certificate follows a chain up to a standard CA _and also_ one Microsoft use to approve that CA to issue kernel-mode certificates. It was not sufficient to have a certificate capable of signing code, even with MS' OIDs for that.

Then, around Windows 10 I think, Microsoft announced that one would need to acquire an EV certificate. You would then be required to submit the driver package via sysdev.microsoft.com and after spending time in Ballmer's Brewery, it would come out signed by Microsoft.

It was technically possible to use the old mechanism at this stage too, provided the end user did not have UEFI secure boot enabled. IF secure boot were enabled, the kernel would: a) if the driver was signed pre-Win10, accept it, b) if it was signed post win-10 RTM date and by Microsoft, accept otherwise reject.

Thus the only mechanism to realistically get your driver working on all Windows out of the box is to submit via sysdev. You can't realistically ask users to disable secure boot, even if this is entirely possible on all x86 motherboards.

Finally, the cross signed roots expire soon and I think some already have. Microsoft have decided that this mechanism will now be retired, and all drivers must be signed via sysdev from now on. You still require an EV certificate as well, to sign the package.

This is a bit of a mixed bag. On the one hand, Microsoft have repeatedly signed the shim maintained by redhat in order to allow Linux distributions to boot directly on secure boot-enabled hardware (UEFI binaries also go through this process and always have). Microsoft have their keys in the default keychain because they bothered to be involved in the process, unlike linux companies like Redhat. So on the one hand, they're being quite friendly to open source.

On the other hand, the push to EV certs rules out individual developers like myself[1]. I could register a company but... that entails effort and expense for a hobby project. And now hobbyist projects like this run the risk of being rejected by MS.

I mostly believe this is an attempt to reduce the number of code signing cert leaks that result in people writing malware, and lock down the Windows kernel a bit more, but still. It is a shame.

[1] This is because most CAs won't issue EV certificates to individuals, even if those individuals happen to have detailed knowledge of cryptography and all the pkcs.
One of the solutions they’re trying now is for the state to give development quotas to municipalities, and threaten to break up single family zoning areas if not.

That it’s such a huge issue in 2 separate massive municipalities makes me agree - it’s a problem that needs solutions at a higher level (often by forcing lower levels to do what is necessary)

Fruity loops is great, since it comes with everything you need. Reason used to be another good choice but I haven't used it in many years.

The best advice I was given relating to this exact question (20 years ago) was to invest in a midi keyboard, stick with one piece of software and use my free time experimenting with it. That's it. Watching youtube videos is a complete waste of time in my opinion, since a lot of that crowd has fallen into the trap of reviewing one plugin after another, without really being able to create art. At best it's a circlejerk of mimicry and patterned-knowledge regurgitation.

I've had a similar experience in the UK, in my previous job I was the only one who wanted to remain full-time remote this year. Management wanted everyone back in the office full-time so I ended up resigning and moving to a different company for a decent raise, but as far as I'm aware the majority of people there wanted either full-time office or hybrid working.

That assumes that these social aspects are valued at zero. Money isn't everything in a job. Your compensation consists of the money, yes, but also everything else in the job. Good social aspect at work takes effort to build and maintain, so maybe, actually, those employers weren't underpaying at all. Again, money isn't everything.
8 Reasons Smart Engineers Use Frameworks – Even for Infrastructure
> I have whole system from gcc4.9/Qt4 era saved to chroot into whenever I need some "old" software. For lay user such hoops are impossible.

A simple "docker run -it -v /:/mnt debian/eol:$CODENAME bash" should give you a working Debian chroot without any hassle - you can go as far back as Debian potato from 2000 per https://hub.docker.com/r/debian/eol/. In theory according to a SO post (https://askubuntu.com/a/1161647) you should even be able to get GUI applications working inside a Docker container.

And isn't that good? Living the dream of Xerox PARC tooling (as close as it gets).

I tend to disregard leetcode interviews anyway, unless I am on a deep need for a job without alternatives.
I am looking for a job where I actually write code for real engineering problems. That does not mean play house with some framework bullshit in a permanent newb capacity. The web is 30 years old and yet many companies/developers still struggle to write the code to populate content into a web page and require stumbling around in the dark hoping a bunch of tools do their job for them. WTF? Worse, some companies like to have endless meetings all day accomplishing nothing while they blindly search for simple organizational solutions.

Some companies have figured out there is more to life than trying to pretend HTML and JavaScript are some kind of forced shoehorn Java or Python extension. Many have not. If moving to one of these competent companies means eliminating my wasted time commuting to an office plus a substantial pay raise then so be it.

You aren't. You're supposed to stop spying on your users.

If Tinder is spying on it's users then I am sure of that, since I want that outcome. (And now you're sure of it too.)
I wonder if the wide branching factor of them gives you some cache friendliness.

However, not every use case can benefit from cache optimization and you can use other data structures. It’s not super useful to make generalizations about performance that way.

> Rather instructions were bit encoded in a single memory cell so some could be executed in parallel.

I think you might be remembering the later Seaforth/Greenarrays MISC (minimal instruction set computer) chips (they may have had some similar predecessors) that did that funny encoding. The RTX2010 was more like the Novix and had a 16 bit instruction word. See:

https://users.ece.cmu.edu/~koopman/stack_computers/sec4_5.ht...

That book has good coverage of the Forth chips of that era. This undergraduate thesis has some later developments:

Google clearly should have communicated this better, but also not exactly shocking.

How would you make a backup end-to-end encrypted without asking for a passphrase or relying on on device storage? I don't think its technically possible.

Maybe google could have tied it to your login credentials, but then no more password resets.
Google's fingers are going deeper than just "web standards." Filippo Valsorda, the Go lead for security, was one of the authors of TLS 1.3.

He has refused to allow for configuration of TLS 1.3 ciphers in Go: https://github.com/golang/go/issues/29349

Thanks to this decision: if a particular cipher is found to be weak or vulnerable, people using Go won't be able to immediately disable it. Instead, they'll be forced to wait for a release or patch, and possibly have to backport it to the version they're running in production.

Another scenario, as pointed out in that ticket: sometimes other vendors don't properly implement ciphers on their end, and there's an incompatibility. Prior to TLS 1.3, one could just disable that particular cipher, perhaps even just for a particular connecting client.

His response was, paraphrasing: "TLS 1.3 is amazing and awesome and will not have the same problems prior TLS versions had. It needs to Just Work, if there's a security issue we'll issue a patch, and if you can't apply it in a timely fashion you're incompetent." He seems unaware that not everyone uses Google's "just roll it out to a few hundred nodes and keep an eye on them" approach to SRE, or that major organizations don't have time to wait for a patch - they need a quick switch flip until the patch is out and can pass their normal validation before moving to production.

This is the kind of thing I find Archive.org and openlibrary invaluable for.

Chrome does everything I want right now. The minute it doesn't I'll use Brave.

Oh and before you say something like "Google has complete control over every Chromium fork" stop right there because you're wrong. Brave is already not implementing Manifest v3. Both Edge and Brave replaced all dependence on Google services. Chrome is also only ~5 million lines of code. It's not impossible to maintain.
Your wording "Calling any government’s bluff" implies that this was a bluff, however, that's not the case - if the cards come to table, it's obvious that "their cards" are weaker and the government can actually force them to compromise their systems, it's not a bluff, it's not a winnable contest.

In this case, after receiving a valid order, implementing any technology or policies to thwart it would be a felony, you're required to cooperate. If you appeal the ruling, you're still required to comply with the ruling and collect data during the appeal process.

Also, technical solutions don't fix social problems. They could daisy chain TOR nodes to avoid collecting information by default, however, a valid warrant for a specific user (as in that previous case you seem to allude to) can easily require them to avoid all those technical solutions, add extra information collection and intentionally circumvent these TOR nodes for this one particular user to break their privacy - no matter if they're willing or not.

If they're not willing to compromise their own systems, then the only solution is to not run those systems at all and shut down the service e.g. as Lavabit did, because you can be (both legally and practically) forced to compromise your systems.

Pretty much agree about everything except copilot. Short term gains using copilot is good but long term it will make your brain inferior since you are by default searching for an autocomplete response from copilot. Your brain is literally an autocompleter. You are getting paid a lot because you are are very good at it. Loosing that edge by relying on an AI to do that for you and not practising your skill would make you worthless in long term.

In related news - ever wondered why Windows 11 can't be installed on "older computers"?

You know, the ones that don't have a TPM chip?

Now you know. Windows 11 completes the lock-up of the OS.

That's why Windows 11 exists in the first place. All other changes are secondary. Microsoft knows they would've not been able to pull shit like this as a Windows 10 update, so they were effectively forced to do a version increase. Against older promises of W10 being the last Windows version ever.

Welcome to the future that Microsoft always wanted, but couldn't have - a platform with airtight control. Just like what Apple has with its AppStore and its wonderful, wonderful 30% commission. Almost there and the lemmings didn't even notice it, distracted by the new and friendly Microsoft front, free upgrades to Windows 10 and centered Start menu in Windows 11.

Mark my words - Windows 12 will severely impede direct installation even of an user-space software, funnelling everyone to go through the store. That's the end goal and we will all be there in a couple of years, whether we want it or not.

Your experience is clearly different to mine, I have 1 monitors on my desktop which work fine, I also have a separate fitlet PC for monitoring purposes with a hdmi monitor and a separate touchscreen USB one.

Both just work, with the only configuration I had to do was to swap them round (left/right) is display settings.

Maybe windows has caught up with this now, last time I used windows I had to install "drivers", which seemed to be advertising programs which took up most of my CPU, to use basic peripherals.
There are a lot of broken industries/companies in which "experts" don't know shit besides what they learned in school from people with no actual hands on experience. Talking to the people on the job can be very efficient, I've seen it many times; people on top can be so full of themselves that they don't even want to accept they can be wrong.

A collection of workers who know their shit will always be much more valuable than an expert looking at graphs from his office if you know how to interact with them

Eric Frank Russell, 1951:

Gleed examined it, turning it over and over between his fingers. It was nothing more than an oblong strip of substance resembling ivory. One side was polished and bare. The other bore three letters deeply engraved in bold style:

F.—I.W.

Glancing up at Baines, his features puzzled, he said, ‘You call this a weapon?’

‘Certainly.’

‘Then I don’t get it.’ He passed the plaque to Harrison. ‘Do you?’

‘No.’ Harrison examined it with care. ‘What does this F.—I.W. mean?’

‘Initial-slang,’ informed Baines. ‘Made correct by common usage. It has become a worldwide motto. You’ll see it all over the place if you haven’t noticed it already.’ [...]

‘It didn’t mean anything to me.’

‘It means plenty,’ said Jeff, ‘Freedom-I won’t!’

Why do so many of the comments here want to strip these people of their human agency?

They make bad decisions, and those decisions have effects. It isn’t always some opaque “the system”. Sometimes you’ll have to see that these people are humans just like you are, and just like you are responsible for your decisions, so are they.

Anything else, which aims to make them less than you, is a problem. Treat these people like human beings.

> So in varying conditions, it's not unreasonable that there's going to be varying policy implementation which are not 'inconsistent' with the science, even if they are 'inconsistent' with one another.

Sure, but what we're discussing here is YouTube's single global standard that is being used to determine whether or not something is "misinformation" and should be prohibited on their platform.

You argued that what YouTube is doing is good, because they're following CDC and WHO guidelines. I gave you one example of where the WHO and the CDC and the ECDC are completely at odds with each other, so what should YouTube do in that case? Which science should they follow?

If I make a video on YouTube, talking about what a barbaric practice it is to force small children to wear masks, pointing out all the ways it is harmful for them, and talking about how little is gained from it, it would be seen as completely normal by most European viewers, because it is in line with public health recommendations from the ECDC.

If I make a video on YouTube, talking about what a barbaric practice it is to re-open schools without mask mandates, pointing out the risk to teachers and staff, and talking about how much is gained from it, it would be seen as completely normal by many American viewers, because it is in line with public health recommendations from the CDC.

Which video should be removed by YouTube for medical misinformation? The first? The second? Both? None? Or should YouTube apply different standards depending on your geolocation?

Chromium is more like ~35 million lines of code. And Brave is implementing Manifest V3, there's no choice in the matter. They'll be forced to because they rely on Google's Chrome Web Store (and chromium itself), which will stop accepting MV2 submissions in 2022. Their current claim is that they'll support the blocking webRequest functionality from MV2, that's it. You better hope Google doesn't block submission of MV3 extensions that use MV2 APIs that only work in forks.
NYC has winters, it’s not temperate all year round. Think about all the poor people that would freeze to death in places like India or SF - if they had winters like the northeast). Warmer places will have the temperature to sustain a homeless population.

NYC, prior to our current Democratic mayor, had aggressive law enforcement during Giuliani and Bloomberg terms. They would corral the homeless into specific areas (the poor neighborhoods) and push them out of sight (actual strategy to hide the homeless). You can be homeless in NYC, just not around areas where ‘decent’ folk live. Interpret that however you want.

If SF corralled the homeless to the ghettos, no one would notice.

Overall, if we take a census of the homeless, we’d easily learn that a good percentage of them are mentally ill and/or drug addicts. It’s much cheaper to build tents for them than provide institutional treatment (prolonged stay in clinics and mental health wards of hospitals). Generally these hospitals don’t have enough beds for everyone and constantly try to release everyone within 72 hours, no matter how severe the situation is. Plus, the cost of healthcare is immense (I’d say orders of magnitude over the tent housing solution).

These are forsaken people, we will never solve this. I would recommend SF hide their homeless and get them off the beaches and boardwalks, and put the tents out of sight somewhere desolate. We as a society don’t have a sustainable altruism to succeed here.
