Windows Defender is the worst AV in term of performance impact on the system. It's so significant in IO application that I don't understand why it is not number one top priority for the Defender team. It has been like this for several years. I have a paid AV just for this issue (avoid the free one).

Every now and then you need to stand up a completely new system, or replace an existing system. At those times you get to pick what platform you will build it on, and Amazon wants you to pick AWS. Therefore AWS needs to be competitive.

In the vast majority of cases that decision really isn't going to be influenced by whether your existing system on AWS does or doesn't use Amazon specific tech. If you're "moving" your service from AWS to Azure those kinds of implementation details just don't matter, in most cases you're effectively going to build a replacement system and not really migrate an existing one. The costs of such a migration would in most cases dwarf any possible savings, no matter how carefully you tried to avoid lock-in.

I'm obviously generalising a fair bit, but the exceptions are likely to be less complex systems that are perfectly fine using fairly generic services.

I'm also glad that on Windows I haven't (yet?) been subjected to the splitting up of iTunes into separate music and podcast apps, because I've manually reclassified my collection of various radio comedy show episodes as podcasts in iTunes in order to get the listened/not listened and listening position tracking [1], and from a quick search it seems that on a Mac this is no longer as easily possible with the new Podcast app.

[1] Yes, the latter can be enabled for any track in iTunes, but unfortunately it doesn't work with the solution I'm using for syncing my library to an Android phone, plus I also want the listened/not listened display, which is definitively a Podcast-only feature anyway.
Ask HN: Why isn't there any Manning/O'Reilly book on MERN as a whole?

In this matter, I see very little nuance and perspicacity from WTA when dealing with people of a different culture both politically and otherwise.

In general WTA setting out terms to nation state is a very absurd situation. If the situation was reversed, American government would care zero bit to appear accountable to any foreign or international organisation.

But what is surprising is how WTAs take on this matter is taken as is without necessary skepticism. It is rather clear that WTA don't have first hand information on the subject to take a considered judgement.

> So impeding the speech of two people is a better outcome than impeding the speech of none? I don't get it.

I mean, it's not a better strategy and it's not right - what I'm trying to say is that impeding one person's speech leads to impeding another person's speech, and that's how you end up with totalitarianism, regardless of who's in control.

The trouble is that whoever speaks loudest never respects the mechanism that allowed them to speak in the first place, or extends that right to anyone else.

So as to what leads to a better outcome, I'd say the results aren't in yet.

For the sceptics, the money to be made is coming from tourism / small businesses.
Small businesses are probably incapable to organise themselves, so that leaves big companies in tourism.

Their censorship provokes and manipulates people to engage more with their platform.
> Simple math: if Pfizer says their vaccine is 90% effective at preventing severe disease then 10% of people are at risk of getting severe disease.

That’s not quite how vaccine efficacy works. Suppose the risk of getting sick is 0.5% per thousand person hours when unvaccinated. A 90% vaccine efficacy means that the risk of getting sick is reduced to 0.05% per thousand person hours, not that 10% of people who get vaccinated are still vulnerable.

It is important to note that this was not a smart contract exploit. The point of failure here was the website UI. Users were sent to a malicious website due to a stolen Cloudflare API key.

What can DAOs do to prevent the single point of failure that is the web front end? Is there a reliable second level of security to ensure you are at the site you intended? The SSL certificate didn't work because Cloudflare was still terminating the SSL connection.
The US has such a deeply successful propaganda program that they don't need to - a bunch of individual "patriots" will gladly just publish government ideology on their own without needing any sort of coordination or leadership.

So yes, use of radio receivers to listen to anything in the UK, other than general broadcast or frequencies you're specifically licenced to listen to is an offence without express permission.

Phone Utility on VAX/VMS
Yeah this is a very awkward release, and not just because MV3 cripples the most important extensions (adblockers).

Firefox also hasn't released MV3 support yet so extensions that are cross-browser can't be MV3, which will be really annoying when Chrome no longer accepts MV2 extensions.

I ran into this just yesterday when I tried to release an extension that removes those stupid fixed banners that take up vertical screen space when you're trying to read an article (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/remove-floati..., https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/remove-floating-ba...). I tried to convert it to MV3 only to test on Firefox and find out it doesn't support MV3 :(

I also run https://extensionpay.com which lets developers easily take payments in their extensions without writing their own backend or paying for server costs. A lot of the developers using ExtensionPay in their extensions default to using MV3 since that's what Google says they should do, despite its limitations. It's a really sad state of affairs.

To me the ideal alternative should be something that aggregates results from major search engines, like DDG already does with Bing and Startpage with Google, but applied to a lot more search engines, then takes the results returned from all of them and builds the results page uniq'ing them so that if link A appears in 3 search engines and link B in 1 and link C in 6, the result will be 3 different links anyway.
That way, if one link is censored from one search engine, it could still be present in the list in a similar rank for being returned anyway by other search engines.

Edge is a quality product, but sadly a privacy disaster. Their new tab page is chatty as hell, they do run their own sync backend, but that backend is not fully end to end encrypted, only some data types are.

Inconclusive results != no statistical benefit. A 95% of CI that ranges between 46% decrease and 23% increase is pretty much inconclusive, you can't say masks are better with that study but you wouldn't be justified either in saying they don't do anything.
Could someone ELI5 how Tornado Cash achieves (or doesn't achieve) privacy? Their FAQ say:

> Is it possible to compromise the protocol and find out information about depositors? -- No, Tornado Cash is a decentralized protocol based on zero knowledge proofs. Its smart contracts are immutable, have no admins, and the proofs are based on strong cryptography. Only the user possessing the Note is able to link deposit and withdrawal.

That very much sounds like an impossibility statement like "Use Tornado Cash and no one will be able to trace your transaction".

OTOH, they also say that

> After depositing, users should wait some amount of time before withdrawing to improve their privacy.

and that

> To preserve privacy a relayer can be used to withdraw to an address with no ETH balance.

So it seems privacy is not a binary switch here and, instead, it can be "improved" and "preserved". But what is it then? Can deposit and withdrawal be linked or not? Are the privacy guarantees as absolute and strong as the FAQ make them out to be?

Modern math syntax is relatively new, it started to form in 18th century. It is not too late to make some changes. Implicit parameters is only one feature in KatLang. Classic math functions can return only one value, that is why in KatLang there are no functions. In KatLang everything is an algorithm - concept which can return several outputs. Yes, some programming languages have syntactic sugar for that too, but still there are no accepted general syntax. Lambda is special case for an algorithm! Even natural languages have experienced a lot of changes. For example, Latvian language grammar changed in only 10 years. Maybe You are right about implicit parameters, but I believe, that implicit parameters are useful and I will try to convince the world about it. We will see how it will turn out ;).
Years ago when I first graduated went to an interview for a Java dev role. Spent the full day there getting pulled apart by whiteboard interviews, exam papers, and daft questions that would have no real day-to-day use in a dev role. Even worse was I asked at the end of the day what kind of work I could be expected to do and found out there was very little actual dev work; maybe some maintenance tasks but mostly support. I became pretty bitter about tech interviews after that.

Sadly interviews like that became a regular fixture and some were even worse. In a few I even had take-home assignments where I was to implement a full-project from scratch then present it at the interview (as well as all that other crummy interview stuff). I even got heavily criticised/insulted in one for prioritising my current job over the assignment and was told if I really wanted the position I "should've moved heaven and earth" - pretty deranged to ask someone to risk their income for an unpaid assignment if you ask me but anyways.

With that being said, I do think interviews are becoming better. They're less about blowing smoke up the interviewers arse and more about judging how good a fit they are for the company. Interviews tend to feel more collaborative and white-boarding sessions aren't a test but a discussion, with the best language agnostic. Hopefully they keep going this way.

"U.S. Policies Favor The Wealthy, Interest Groups, Study Shows"

Gilens and Page analyzed 1,779 policy issues from 1981 to 2002 and compared changes to the preferences of median-income Americans, the top-earning 10 percent, and organized interest groups and industries.

"Not only do ordinary citizens not have uniquely substantial power over policy decisions; they have little or no independent influence on policy at all," the researchers write in the article titled, "Testing Theories of American Politics: Elites, Interest Groups, and Average Citizens."

Affluent Americans, however, "have a quite substantial, highly significant, independent impact on policy," Gilens and Page write. Organized interest groups also "have a large, positive, highly significant impact upon public policy."

It's a trade-off. Larger input files may slow the fuzzing process, and therefore explore less of the problem space. You usually want to test many different kinds of inputs, not just more of the same.

OTOH file formats often include sizes of fields, which a fuzzer will set to arbitrarily high values. This tests (some) handling of overly large inputs without files being actually that large.

To expand on what others have said, the date shown is when the change was authored, which is not neccesarily the date when the commit object was created.

In open source collaborative development, pathes are usually shared either old-style on mailing lists or review software (phabricator in this case it seems) as patches which include a date and then only applied in the repo once they are reviewed.

You can also get non-monotonic authorship dates without leaving a git repo (and without manually overriding the date) by cherry-picking or rebasing commits onto different branches.

Also, the first link is not a git repository but a mercurial one.

On the flip side facebook absolutely should be able to control what's on their platform as a private company. You can't have it both ways. They have freedom of speech as well as to the right to control their property and do business with whom they choose. I can't stop someone from spouting nonsense on the public sidewalk in front of my store, but if they try it inside my store then I can absolutely kick them out.
