Free Web Application Hacking and Security Course with CEH
http://www.jerf.org/iri/post/2908 ?

(BTW, 2011 on that. I would not today agree with the statement "the Haskell community is the only community I know that is doing new things in the field of language and API design". I think Rust is doing interesting new things now. In 2011 they were still working on basic functionality. There's a couple of other interesting little up-and-coming languages.)
For the 20th anniversary celebration, EC-Council is offering CEH course bundled with Web application hacking and security course at no additional cost. The offered is valid till Dec 2021 only.
"rely" is doing a lot of lifting in that sentence. It's more productive to talk about improvements.

You're saying it's good to make sites smaller, and I agree. You're saying QUIC is good, and I agree.

What do you want? To just complain that bad sites exist? Is this "what-aboutism" for programmers?

I'm sorry, usrbinbash. I'm sorry that bad things happen, and I wish I could make you happy.
> Working as a software developer without a passion for coding is kind of like doing math homework every day for the rest of your life.

I disagree. I coded for fun once, as a kid, and have never felt the need to do it again. If I never coded again, I wouldn't even notice because I my passions lie elsewhere. But working as a software developer is still tolerable because I'm just sitting at a desk, typing on a computer. As long as I don't have meetings...
I guess this is exactly this misconception. The problem happens when you encounter a scenario where your rollback doesn't work. I.e.:

I see Apple users all around me. I also live in a country where $500/month is considered a decent salary. It's the power of their very competent marketing department and nothing else; otherwise you wouldn't see so many iPhone users who spent three months of their total income for the privilege of owning this "status symbol".
Right, but the entire point of my comment was that "takes up a significant part of the language spec, compiler, and VM" is not a good approximation of complexity. It can be related, but it is not necessarily true that something with a complex implementation has a complex interface.

Germany stats all COVID cases wrt vaccination? Ah, in the Netherlands most if not all stats I've seen involve hospitalisation and especially IC. Those are often misattributed the other way around, 50/50 sounds equal, until you consider 85% of the population is vaccinated (and most of the 50% vaccinated IC patients are old / sick / immunodeprived).

Go switches with exhaustion checks like in [1] would go a long way. An early return construct would be important as well, though, you're right.

Go's for loops can only iterate over builtin types: slices, maps, channels, etc. You can't produce a custom type that is to be iterated over.

Well if we're just gonna bash software guys here....

The arrogance stands out for me. I have worked in many different fields and with a range of engineers (EE,ME,CE), none come close to the general aura of big ego and arrogance around software guys. It's similar to the levels seen in finance guys. Its like there has to be some relationship between compensation and true value, where ego makes up the difference.

Of course there are the humble bunch in there, but god I have no idea how they get along with their colleagues.

Say I'm an investigative journalist, gathering information about some bad guy embezzling all politicians that matter in a small country and doing all kinds of criminal stuff, including murders.

I'm careful. I'm using a laptop that has this kill switch. I only keep my work on this laptop, it's so sensitive.

The bad guy gets a whiff I'm digging around him. He sends armed thugs to my lair. They enter, so I pop the kill switch. "Where is the data?!", they ask me. "I don't know what you're talking about!" They beat me down, then one thug says to the other: "Hey comrade, look, maybe it's all on this laptop?" — "Let's see". The laptop doesn't boot. They turn to me: "Funny how this laptop of yours doesn't even boot, why would you have a non-working toy?" I play dumb, they train their guns on my head. "Okay, okay," I say, "the data on this laptop has self-destructed, you're not getting it, no one is getting it!" — "Really?" — "Really!" — "It's good, motherfucker," says the thug and double-taps me in the head.
I mean, what if we have to troubleshoot an issue that is due to, say, the character encoding of such password? We need to see it, right?

(yes, such an issue would likely indicate you're not handling that sort of data in the right way, but fixing that would probably take three weeks and the PM is screaming FIXITNAOO because the customer is on the phone...)

> They’re still a company a PR and Legal team

All the more reason to not give them the benefit of the doubt with shit like this. If they say something flat out, that has some weight since there could be legal repercussions for lying (in theory anyway.) But not saying anything and letting people infer whatever they want? That's how companies with PR and Legal teams like to cover their asses instead of outright lying. The company says nothing and lets their supporters invent whatever headcanon is most flattering. I don't go in for that.

Edit: The same thing happened when they let Apple fans infer that this feature was preparation for enabling proper E2EE. As far as I'm aware Apple never actually said that and their supporters decided to believe it without evidence, just a lot of wishful thinking.
Not sure where you are getting the connection to GPT-3, but I think that sentiment around dismissing quality of Google results and the web at large are pretty common among HN users.

I think it is just harder to find fun / small websites and forums than it used to be. A lot of communities are moving to platforms like discord which are not discoverable or able to be navigated easily from a web browser. As for small websites and blogs, I think they still exist, they just seemed to get passed around less often than news articles. I bet that is in part because there are simply less small websites and blogs to be shared than the sheer volume of news articles that come out every hour.
>35 cents per hour to use

WOW that's kind allot TBH.
It's cool, I also poked at it a bit thinking there was potential. Certainly the Flask article makes some good points about it.
The instance would need to have extra credentials for that I suppose, and you'd need the repo up somewhere, then track everything with git.

Lots of engineers are also using the nodes, so you'd need to share that repo with them then have some command you type in each time to load it after you ssh into the node.

And you'd only have updated versions of your rc every night, unless you want to commit a change, push, go to the server to pull it down, reload the shell.

I guess what I'm saying is this tool fills a niche and avoids all the above complexity just for some shell aliases.

(btw I don't really have a use for it, I just have 2 or 3 commands to copy paste into the shell for 99% of what I need to do. Just maintaining the argument to hear alternatives from people!)

Ideally your IDE supports Bazel. There's a Bazel plugin for Intellij that works reasonable well for Java. We use python primarily, and while this plugin does support Python a bit, it's got some issues. So we wrote a bazel rule that builds a python virtualenv using Bazel dependencies and that bridges the gap to allow use of "legacy" tooling.

From a read of the expert opinions on the CSAM topic when this blew up. From that, it seemed like you had to be all in, or keeping out of active CSAM scanning/monitoring for legal reasons. They noted the match volume and came to the same conclusion.

With the attention I don't see how Apple can delay taking some action here. A new external liability that can be attacked in different ways. Either they need to level up the CSAM scanning server-side to increase compliance, or they need to reimplement the client-side approach. The latter approach is probably much better from their perspective for various reasons.

Ultimately, they might have been better giving this a lower profile overall and effectively have sought public attention of law enforcement to provide some cover. The authorities are going to get this in some fashion eventually.

3. Have them defend your measures in public forums and feel very smart.
With the exception of healthcare I don't think a lot of companies have mandated vaccines. My wife works in healthcare and there was a tuberculosis shot mandate for specific jobs at her hospital. There was a flu shot mandate of sorts, but it was tied to a small bonus.

You can't point to a small sector that has mandates and say it wouldn't be a significant change if suddenly 100% of all workers everywhere were subjected to it.
> Does it make sense to write self-modifying code not for obfuscation but for optimization? Can we have such code to speed up calculations in a way that is not possible with static code?

That depends; how broad is your definition of "self"? Within a process, this is a fairly common approach already (JIT).

> Don't be naive, the governments will demand that matches on the "special" hashes will be reviewed by local government people.

Seriously, if a government is after you, they will get you regardless of the content of your phone. In a country with decent laws, just a match is woefully insufficient to demonstrate someone’s guilt, and they will need some proof. In other countries, laws do not matter so they can just get you without issue. They have done it for quite a long time and are doing it today.

All of this also points to the complete absurdity of this mass hysteria: it is insane to ruin someone’s life just because they have a picture on their device. It is just thoughtcrime, at this point.

This is my experience as well, for a large issue or for learning new tech (Let's say you have a new lib which everyone will be interacting with) it makes sense. For day-to-day it's at best a waste of resources and at worst an excuse for people to do less while getting the same pay.

Don't strategies change constantly and are arbitraged away in the NFL too?

And yet Tom Brady is always in the Super Bowl and is on the record for never having a losing season and 3 distincitve Hall of Fame worthy carrers.

I insist on Tom Brady because you'd never say that he looks like he knows what he's doing, even though his numbers compared to peers are even more impressive than Simons'

That's because he doesn't look the part. He looks like the lucky jock, same thing with that French lady who lived to 123, she looks like the person who simply won the genetic lottery.

Simons "looks and feels" like the elder statesman math genius who knows what he is doing. In reality him (very much like the rest of us) can't even predict what thought will he have 10 seconds into the future, let alone predict if that thought will lead to a viable idea and if that idea will lead to a successful execution and if that execution will lead to a great result.

Again if he's confident that he knows the formula to reach extreme financial success, then why doesn't he proceed to make the experiment of going back to zero or negative net worth and then try to get to top of the Forbes list again? Every billionaire claiming that luck had nothing to do with their success should do this small experiment and repeat it 10 or 20 times, in order to back their claim.

In reality Simons is so sure of not knowing that he gets paranoid when a couple of weeks go by without Medallion making money, and if a week of intense bleeding happens he just pulls the plug on Medallion, like he did during the 2007 meltdown.
The issue is, as is amply shown in the United States, is that minds that can accept things without evidence that are considered benign, can also accept things that are harmful. A mind that doesn't consider truth to be an important part of a belief system can believe anything. This "My Truth" is a pervasive virus that is occurring here in the US, and you see it every day destroying our society.

If i don't need evidence,

I can believe white people are better than black people and take it on faith.
I can believe men are better than women and take it on faith.
I can believe cis people are better than lbgtq+ people and take it on faith.

If i don't have to demonstrate the accuracy of my claims, My claims are as valid as your claims.
Of course, this is a kill switch, but that's usually detectable if the attacker is sophisticated enough. Plus, they can always backup the disk before.

Plausible deniability lets you pretend you do not have incriminating data, but it's tricky to use in the first place: https://gitlab.com/cryptsetup/cryptsetup/-/wikis/FrequentlyA...

Travelling with an empty disk seems like a more appropriate option. Dm-verity could probably be used to check that there has been no tampering.

> Yeah, but that's really up to me, isn't it?

No. You can still get breakthrough cases with the vaccine. Your chance is higher the more un-vaxxed people around you. You can't control that number easily. People who work in service industry really cant control that.

Additionally, the more the virus spreads the more it'll mutate to avoid the vaccine, so the more likely that you lose that control.

> There's a reason I choose not to live in China, Laos, or Vietnam.

Well, really you were born where ever you were born, which is probably where you are now, and getting a visa to one of those countries really isn't solely up to you, because they need to let you in. I vaguely see your point (except most people dramatically overstate global mobility), but if you actually wanted to avoid getting sick you'd move to australia because their rates are really low - for reasons you allude to.

> hospitals ought to say "look, here's our COVID capacity; if we're full we can't serve you, sorry" -- with that capacity set at a reasonable, sustainable number for them.

But we don't do that here, in the civilized world. We don't turn people away. Its inhumane to not help people and turn them away. Doctors take an oath to help all in need.

It would solve the hospital problem to say "tough s*t if you get sick, did you try the vax?" but thats not a practical response. No politician or organization wants to take responsibility for that measure, and no doctor would turn away someone sick.

In what world is turning sick and ill people away at the hospital a valid response to all this? I would MUCH rather wear a mask than have hospitals turn people away.

> people's basic human rights and freedoms are being removed.

In america? I haven't seen any freedoms being removed except the freedom to feel safe. Vaccine mandates and masks aren't an infringement on your freedoms. What
bill of rights protects your right to not breath through paper?

Hell, speaking of freedom, if everyone who complained about masks and vaccine mandates in america cared equally about the infringed freedoms of minorities then this nation would be the land of the free for everyone.

You are you. You read book reviews on Slate Star Codex [since renamed] which are half the length of the books themselves. You write essays which are both satirical and completely sincere where you lampoon social practices using the Alien Describing Human technique (again, to good effect). You are too rational and intelligent to make sense of the world in other ways (but you don’t talk about that (directly)). You have had oddball interests and hobbies your whole life, but sometimes you feel like something is missing.

Eventually you come to the conclusion that everything which you thought was irrational is in fact that. You pat yourself on the back for the humility that you have displayed. Then you go back to reading that book review on Slate Star Codex [since renamed].

I think QUIC is gonna be it, at least for the next 10 years.

It has unreliable, unordered datagrams, and a huge number of TCP-like streams, all wrapped in the same TLS'd connection.

When I look at QUIC, I see old TCP protocols like IRC and telnet coming back. The difficulty of encryption pushed many applications into HTTPS so they could stay safe, even though HTTPS isn't a perfect fit for every app.

With QUIC saying "You're as safe as possible and you have basically a UDP and TCP portal to the server, have fun", I think we'll see some custom protocols built / rebuilt on QUIC that were lying dormant since the age when encryption was optional.

For instance, multiplayer games could probably just use QUIC as-is. Send the real-time data over the datagrams, and send the chat messages and important game state over the streams. Instead of some custom game communications library, and instead of connecting TCP and UDP to the same server, one QUIC library and one QUIC connection. Now it's within the reach of a solo indie developer who wants to focus on their game-specific netcode, and not on re-inventing networking ideas.
Of course, but this won’t be easy with commodity hardware. Standard practice is to use write-blockers to prevent this kind of tricks, but of course you can prevent write-blockers by integrating your storage.

I think you could get a pixel phone to do this in a useful way.
You're talking about employment where the employer makes much much of off your labor than you will ever receive, and you are powerless to demand your fair share. Yet instead, a safe workplace is the coercive part?

Ideally, but even in the US, I feel like any reduction in fossil fuel prices will be offset by increased usage such as purchase of bigger cars or flying more as history has shown.
The "poor idea" in the 90s was that developers were going to read specifications. Sun Micro specially suffered from this. Thus the "clusterfuck" of JRE, for example, offered something called a Security Manager, but it was "insane" to think commodity IT developers would use it ("wat's dat!?")
It does not run on UDP. It provides a UDP like best-effort transmission mode though, while also optionally allowing for interweaving reliable connection features.

If SCTP really ran on UDP. I'd have no reason to be salty, because we'd already be using it.
Toyota is a big player in many developing countries. There is little charging infrastructure in places like the Philippines (where nearly every taxi is a Toyota). The push toward electric cars would mean making gas powered cars for some markets and electric for others. Since many emerginf markets rely on used cars from the US, the supply of gas powered used cars would be affected as well
We should have thought about that when we were invading and toppling every single ecosystem out there. WHO and others were warning time and again but nothing changed. We (as a civilisation) brought this to ourselves and we have to weather it out as best as we can. So far science/vaccines/meds are the best bet. If they fcuk it up (say an mRNA batch goes really bad) then all hell will break loose. Still mandatory vaccination and free dissemination of vaccines to poor countries is the only visible way out right now.

But if this seems so difficult I wonder how battling climate change will seem to us.

Definitely interesting times. Albeit dark.
> This is just life, forever. Totally unprecedented. You will get a vaccination every 6 months for the rest of your life or be totally excluded from all civil rights.

“all civil rights” meaning you have full civil rights but can't force a private company to give you a job when you refuse to follow safety rules? Especially in a country where employers pay for healthcare it doesn't seem unreasonable to require a safe, easy, and highly effective means of avoiding very expensive treatments.

This is also far from unprecedented. I've worked at jobs which required other vaccinations, schools all around the country require a ton of vaccinations, and the people who don't want to do that for whatever reason have always had the option of homeschooling, finding another job, etc. If this is such an important issue to you, take responsibility for the consequences of your choice — there's certainly a long tradition of people accepting that as a cost of their religious decisions.
