99.5% of the time I only call my wife, my parents, my sisters, and my four best friends. That's 9 people. With my so much missed flip-phone I could do this, check it out:

Walk around the city with phone in pocket. Need to call one of them: pick phone from pocket (without looking), thumb-flick the screen open (without looking), thumb-press the person's speed dial number (without looking), done.

or

Walk around the city with phone in pocket. Phone vibrates. pick phone from pocket (without looking), glance at front screen for 1/3 sec to see who it was. If wanted to take the call, thumb-flick the screen open (without looking) while raising phone to ear (without looking), done. If not, toss phone back in pocket.

There was also the cost-of-phone factor. The thing was so cheap, I treated it like there was an old crumpled piece of paper in my pocket, never worried if it would get scratched or if the screen would crack. The constant worry when my smarphone falls on the floor sucks. I never had a better phone experience than with my flip-phone. Sadly, recently Whatsapp became so ubiquitous here, that people stopped calling and only texted, and eventually I had to upgrade.
Why is it that poor, third-world countries can afford a single-payer health system that treats all patients equally and economically, and the so-called richest country on Earth makes sure its citizens get bankrupted for the most minor medical issues?

I had triple-bypass in 2005. Cost to me? Zilch! If I lived in the US, I'd be dead for the last 16 years.
It’s wrong for sure, but how is it baffling?
Do you happen to use Firefox and have images blocked via the setting in the hamburger menu? You might want to turn them on again.
Philosophy may refer to the specific branch in academia and its current practice, as opposed to any philosophical inquiry. Every field already pursues their own philosophical inquiry, and yet philosophers and mathematicians are in separate departments. Such is the current practice and organization of academics.

If we were to consider mathematics and computer science as part of philosophy, then we might say that as a mode of inquiry, philosophy has had great success in achieving multidisciplinary consensus and international impact. But if we were to consider philosophy as a specific branch of academic organization, then we might be disappointed at the fruits emerging from that field.
Be aware that OpenBSD can, will, and often has, made breaking changes to their packet filter/firewall rule syntax. Keep that in mind if you decide to rely on this for a firewall that's remote and not practical to access but requires patch maintenance without OOB access.
"On metal" would refer to running the OS without any additional layers like virtualization, in this context.

But it could also refer to the material "metal" (or the collection name for bunch of materials really), whereas computers are commonly known for being made with a lot of silicon instead of metal.

Hopefully I didn't dissect too much of the frog to kill it.
Personally I think we're going to need a revolution in the fundamental physics of computation. The example I like to use is that a dragonfly brain uses just sixteen neurons to take input from thousands of ommatidia and track prey in 3D space, plot intercept vectors, and send that data to the motor centers of the brain. Calculate how many transistors and watts of power you'd need to replicate that functionality. Now multiply that number by how many neurons you think it takes the human brain to generate sapience.

It doesn't really matter what your guesses are, none of the results are good news.
You do need to keep the central directory record to be written at the very end, so it might cause a concern if you have a lot of (probably small) files. But Zipfly doesn't seem to solve that anyway.
> Of course you'd say that, because you're vastly underselling the difficulty.

Well, I don't really think so, obviously. And where you made an affirmative assertion ie: "it is extraordinarily hard" I just made a negative assertion "it isn't". I didn't qualify how hard it is.

But regardless,
> You're not accounting for

I am. Been in infosec my whole career and well before it. Been a CEO of an infosec company for two years now.

> number of attack surfaces, the number of attack vectors

The major threats are the same for virtually every organization. Phishing and malware. Both have extremely effective measures that any organization can roll out:

1. U2F (unphishable credential)

2. Default-deny execution (99% of malware is dead, and you now control more of your attack surface)

> such as zero days in software from third party vendors.

You can defend against this in a number of ways as well. I do feel that vendors are often the weak link.

> Many firms also deploy tons of legacy code that they depend on to operate their businesses, some of which may have been developed by vendors long gone and cannot be easily replaced.

That was a mistake on their part. Even still, you don't have to replace it to make it safer. You can isolate it, build around it, etc.

Not to mention, very little software is truly irreplaceable.

> he real point is that the blame is not with the victims, but with the criminals and the nations who sponsor them

OK but that's a different point than what you originally made. You stated that it is extremely difficult to defend against these attacks, I'm saying it isn't. Whether one should have to defend against them or not really wasn't your point, even if now you say it is.

> wo of them are small businesses that sustained devastating losses and lost time.

It's an awful thing. They have my sympathy.

> What's so hard about holding these criminials and their sponsors accountable?

Right, so, here's the deal.

1. Many of the breached companies are not really 'victims'. Instead it is their users who are victims. So we hold them accountable because it is their responsibility to not let their users' data get owned. That's on them.

2. We can't hold attackers accountable for a number of reasons. Maybe in a moral sense we can, but in a practical sense we have to take precautions.

I would never blame an end user, a singular person, for getting owned. It's not their job to protect themselves from the world.

I'll absolutely blame companies (ones with user data) who get owned because when you sign up for a company you're taking on a number of additional obligations and responsibilities.
Automotive and aviation grade pots/encoders/switches are a different class of product and a good deal more expensive than the garbage they'll put on consumer electronics.
fair, it's the first step towards trying to construct formalism around reasoning... but then it often jumps off into the abstract based on synthetic premises... that's when it makes the leap to art.

and who said anything about ridicule? art is important! perceptive exercises and exploration of ideas strengthen our skills for reasoning.
I switched to Geany from Notepad++ when I moved to Linux, and they have macOS build too. Features are not on par, but at least the editor component is the same (Scintilla), and I could set up some of the plugin functionalities as command line functions (like formatting JSON with jq).
It is doing a job as good as the original arguments.
The link I posted was 2017. The site you link gives quite different ratings. I assume partly it is different methodology (the site you link tries to account for key travel somehow and they do something with a display and try to account for display latency rather than using a logic analyzer), but I’m not really sure. For some keyboards in common:

- apple magic keyboard (? vs 2017) 15ms vs 27ms

- das keyboard (3 vs S professional/4 Professional) 25 vs 11/10ms

- razer ornata (chroma vs chroma/chroma 2) 35 vs 11.4/10.1ms

Interestingly it is not some simple uniform difference: the Apple keyboard does much worse in the rtings test, perhaps getting not much of a bonus from key travel compensation. But the das keyboard vs the razer that are 10ms apart on my link perform equally on rtings (but maybe I found the wrong model). I don’t have a good explanation for that discrepancy.
which implies that the power state of the whole core cluster is on, so the syscall is defined to return 1

I started using this(still do) as the "recommended default" for my intro web design and programming classes, mostly because I'm a long time Linux user, and this would run exactly the same for all of us everywhere. Solid stuff, thank you to the devs.
Gave it a quick run with 34.5 (1.3) kickstart and some backup of a workdisk of mine.

It worked as expected from an Amiga 500 (I own 500/600/1200).

There was, however, a pain point in the process. I use i3 as wm, and I do not use GUI file managers... so it took me a lot of effort to figure out I needed to DRAG AND DROP a kickstart rom file. Opening a file dialog with a click somewhere in the interface would be a major UX improvement.

This is the first true “PHPism” I’ve seen in a “real language”. (Is there a name for “we didn’t want the general thing (e.g. assignment expressions) but we wanted one narrow subset of it (serial assignment), so we implemented that, but with different semantics for no good reason”?)
FTA: “In testing I knew that it was around 25 watts quicker”

What does that mean? My best guess is that, at speeds around his target speed, it takes 25 watts less power to ride at that speed, but that seems too huge a difference to give up on to me (https://cyclingtips.com/2021/07/1026-km-austrian-ultra-cycli... says the guy doing >1,000 km in 24 hours had a normalized power of 275W, so, assuming the two riders to be of similar weight, that would mean giving up about 10% of power))
it's legal, but whether or not it violates the license agreement is what you mean, I think.

if I recall (big "if"), all editions of Windows from Pro upwards include a license to run exactly one instance of the same edition of Windows inside a VM at a time. It does not need to be hosted by Hyper-V or be hosted on the associated licensed Windows installation.

Windows 10 Enterprise, I think, includes 10 VM licenses per purchased license, but those 10 are all meant for the same user, which is the user who is using the physically installed license and are not to be spread around and used by different users.

Windows licensing is kinda weird
This reminds me of how RFC1918 address space is supposed to be "never connected to internet" (including NAT, because when it was written NAT would have violated basic host requirements).

And some computers abused the hell of it, for example Digital/Compaq Alpha EV7 "Marvel" line, where each processor had its own address in 10/8 subnet and essentially equivalent of BMC controlled the computer through 10mbit ethernet linking all components

That’s a funny story. I do think that the restaurant owner should be compensated in some way. His good smells are providing value to the community (a positive externality) and I think he deserves something in exchange for that.

Kind of like how when you get vaccinated you provide value to your community by reducing the chance that you’ll become a disease vector. So getting the vaccine improves the health of everyone around you. If we didn’t subsidize vaccines, fewer people would get them, and we’d all be worse off.

Similarly, the restaurant’s existence improves the quality of all the food around them. With a subsidy, more restaurants will be started and everyone will be better off.
A New Theory of the Universe (2018)
The factors that actually impact the upper boundary of achivable security are availability of source code (open or not) and reproducible builds. The 4 freedoms do not actually affect any aspect of security, they are orthogonal.

Also, just because the 2 factors above impact the upper boundary of achievable security does not mean an open source software is automatically more secure.

It is conceivable for 2 comparable pieces of software to exist one open source and the other closed source and for the closed source one to be more secure.

There are many reasons why open source software is in practice considered more secure, among others being faster availability of updates and the aforementioned higher upper ceiling of security.
Starting with your questions:

> Do you enjoy gaming on an iPad?

Generally no, unless I'm playing a game for which a touch screen provides a good interface. Board/card games are great. "God view" games can be done well. Most first or third person games of any variety suck.

> Are you a Switch person?

Not really. The Switch is too large and fragile to be pocketed so it's only really portable in the sense that it's not tied to a TV, which means mine just lives in its dock 95% of the time. As a docked console it wasn't even competitive against last-gen hardware, and as a result it exists solely because enough Nintendo first-party games came out that I wanted to play.

I was a huge DS person in its era, because I could have it in my pocket anywhere. Pull it out, open it up for even half a level of New Super Mario, then slap it shut and it's immediately suspended for later. Switch has the same function but without the pocketability it's just not as useful.

> Or do you have a dedicated gaming PC at home?

Always have, always will. The PC is the longest lasting gaming platform on its own, rarely has it ever lost the performance crown, and thanks to both inherent compatibility and emulation it can play the majority of games ever made for any platform.

I have consoles for convenience and exclusives, but a good PC is a long term investment that pays off if you really like gaming.
I use it for ages (besides emacs). Properly configured it can stick with emacs at ease. The console plugin, however, might benefit from a brush up, e.g. FX, so it could display MathJax/KaTeX or PNG ...
I made my homepage in PHP, nothing important, but I spent some time doing it and I liked the result.

Then I didn't have enough time to maintain it, and I stopped paying attention to it for a while.

Later I checked my homepage again, the webhosting company updated the PHP version, nothing works anymore. It is not simple to fix, so I gave up.

I am not going to spend the same amount of effort on making my homepage in PHP again. Trust is easier lost than gained.

I would still be willing to code something in PHP for someone else, because hey, if it stops working in a year or two, it's their problem, not mine. But I would warn them that something like this is possible, and in my opinion likely to happen.
I know this makes me a clueless annoying boring techie nerd :), but I still cannot properly fathom how this is a minority opinion.

NOBODY in my non-techie group of friends or family cares. Not.even.remotely.

I watch them struggle with their touch screens, I even listen to them rant, but when asked about it afterwards, it's fine. Just fine. Sexy. Sleek. Desirable. Why do I have to go and ruin everything?

Honestly, even HVAC - I watch my family with "Auto HVAC" constantly fiddle with it, as they scroll to some meaningless numbers - 18C, 21C, 24C, back to 20C, etc all in the same drive. Whereas my ancient Subaru knob stays in the same position through the drive, without needing to ever look at it. If it's on the right, hot air will blow; if it's on the left, cold air will blow. Whereas with Auto, you literally never know what you're going to get. It's not on conscious level - everybody thinks their Auto A/C it's awesome. Until you watch their actual sub-conscious behaviour on a drive.
>In fact, they've done very little for freedom in the past 10-20 years; most of the real breakthroughs have come from much more pragmatic people, such as those developing reverse engineered open source drivers for complex hardware like GPUs.

Whose efforts get completely circumvented through employment of cryptographic firmware signing, which gate keeps necessary functionality out of said pragmatist's reach.

reading the full excerpt seems to put the reason for rejecting 6300 onto Errata 734 and it was strange to me that this wasnt addressed in your post

however i wasnt referring to you specifically as arguing in bad faith but that seems to be the attitude of some very vocal people here. i included the full excerpt in case the point is relevant. i am not an expert in this field

does the issue in Erata 734 apply to 6200?

> The product manager behind this cares about having numbers to show their manager and isn't concerned about the potential reputational impact it might have on the company as a whole.

Speaking as an ex-PM at MS, just about every individual contributor PM I've met at MS cares far more about reputational impact than making some little metric go up (even if it's a revenue metric).

I get that it's easy to use the PM discipline as a whipping boy because it's a PM's face that is associated with product changes, but I've rarely seen one at MS actively push for this kind of stuff. In the overwhelming case, they argue with their management structure for a while and get dragged kicking and screaming into a decision that they think is dumb, but they're told to own it anyways.

Typically the decisions of the boneheaded variety are made much higher up the org chart by higher-level middle management in the company who don't use the products they own and are (often) pretty thoroughly unaware of what their users actually care about. These decisions suck really bad too, because they overshadow countless other great decisions made by truly excellent people in similar positions.

Of course, it's entirely possible that everyone involved in something like this thinks it's awesome right up until it gets announced/released. I've just never actually seen that before.
The context is also using a third-party service for the catchall, which is less likely to have suitable records set up for sending from.

To me, this is an extremely valuable insight into the nature of reality, although it is generally frowned upon by scientific materialists even though neuroscience and psychology agree (traditional religious people aren't the only ones who don't follow their scripture to perfection).
What's so amusing today is that "off" tends to be an illusion today. It's more like "sleeping". There's still some stuff running. Listening for the On button, Wake on LAN, timers, the system management engine...

I guess I don't have big-picture number. I have literally not had anybody replace a knob, ever. My car is 18yo and knobs are working fine.

Holography without Lasers: Hand-drawn Holograms (1999)
The specific variant that it was compatible with was still relevant, sold and manufactured design at the time of the introduction (ca. 1985? maybe a bit earlier). It was a very capable CPU for its weight class, and actually more packed than Digital's offering at the time - most LSI-11 at the time required two separate chips minimum, and didn't have 1801VM3's later "MCU" variants.

The reason for it was that it wasn't designed as PDP-11 clone - it was own design, which at the last moment got modified to run LSI-11 instruction set and support QBus, due to orders from on-high to standardize on PDP-11 compatibles in the segment it was made for.
> to do that you would have to start mass manufacturing a vacine a somehow administer it to the whole population secretly.

To play devil's advocate:

This could be happening _right now_.

1) Create and release CoVid.

2) Engineer a vaccine, that also protects against a secondary, 100% deadly virus. (SinoVac?)

3) Vaccinate your own population.

4) Release the super-deadly, secret 2nd virus.

5) Profit.

> it is to big a project to not leak just based on everyone involved having to not tell anyone.

Yeah. This where it, and most of the other grand conspiracy theories, start to become unrealistic. It would be impossible to keep the secret from coming out.

But it would make a great plot for thriller novel.
