This definitely is not "much ado about nothing."

I prefer the Verge article on this one though [1]. Relevant quote from the article:

> They turned the case over to Cole County Prosecuting Attorney Locke Thompson on Monday, December 27. Governor Parson then held a press conference on Wednesday, December 29, where he cited a state statute related to computer tampering and repeatedly suggested Thompson should use it to prosecute Renaud and the paper.

It was just earlier this week that this was turned over to the prosecutor's office. This prosecutor is an elected official, and the Missouri conservative PAC has put their money behind this by placing attack ads against the reporter, and framing this as "holding the fake news accountable" [2]. Also, IANAL but if we're going by the letter of the law, the local Missouri computer crime section certainly does seem to include the actions of the reporter [3], even if the SSNs weren't Base64 encoded. Bad law, but the fact that the law is bad doesn't have bearing on whether they'll decide to prosecute.

Interestingly, ls does escape characters like \n in its output when it's printing to a terminal, but not when it's being piped into other programs. Try this by making a file with a newline in its name, and then comparing "ls" with "ls | cat".
But the first Linux using UTF-8 as the default encoding was RedHat in 2002

And then Microsoft spent the next 20 years explaining/complaining to everyone (and this includes Chen) why they couldn’t make UTF-8 a code page because it would mean revalidating all of those -A functions for 4-byte characters when they were originally intended for only 3-bytes?

I don't think core affinity would have helped in this situation. They had one instance that was being shared across all cores, necessitating the reference count to be sync'd between sockets at L3 cache level. They may have seen some benefit if you had, say, 2 instances, one per CPU socket, and dedicated an instance per socket to avoid L3 cache interactions. But, in this case, it is far simpler, cleaner and better performing to not share the instance and avoid the reference counting entirely.
I bought a no-brand pair of wireless headphones in 2016 when I was on paternity leave with my first kid. Sure, they are not truly wireless, but I still get almost 6 hours of continuous use out of them.

I told my colleagues that got airpods that they will basically be a subscription. That was not the case, at least not they way I thought. They just bought new ones because replacing the battery at apple was too expensive.
It did for me. It's interesting to see how the blockchain works out when it is applied to a real world problem. In this case, it's art ownership. Arguably the low-hanging fruit as far as blockchain applications go.

I see real value of blockchain as a technology, but this makes me think, maybe it's value is more like a trustworthy public database and less like a new economy.
I skimmed through the reddit thread but couldn't find an answer. Why do companies not want you using Tor ?
UI/UX also needs to be buttery smooth and non-technical, especially where setup/onboarding is concerned. The more you stray from that the more difficult it's going to be to bring in a significant population of users.
Censorship is a given for large online platforms. You can and should try to allow free propagation of ideas, but you also have to protect the forum from people who are determined to fill it with hateful commentary and pornography. 4chan isn’t a crazy special case, it’s the default destination of a forum where everyone knows there are no rules.

I'm not so sure you disagree that much with the author as you think.

The API's they're arguing against teaching are OpenGL 1 and 2. OpenGL 2.0 dates to 2004. OpenGL 1.0 dates to 1992.

OpenGL 3.0 was released in 2008. OpenGL ES 2.0 was released in 2007. This rasteriser is modeled on OpenGL 3.x. So your recommendation and what they consider [the start of] "modern OpenGL" are about a year apart.

One of Xanadu's goals was (is?) to uniquely identify documents, which isn't inherently tied to either access control or rights management.

The process and theory of identifying documents is one of the oldest subjects of interest in library science[1], and the Internet is chock full of unique identification schemes (URIs, nominally, but also OIDs, DOIs, ORCIDs, &c.).

There were kids who were seen as "bad" from young age and often beaten. Not doing tasks they were told to, playing instead, being lazy (meaning not doing what they were told to), misbehaving. So, they have beaten them or accused parents of spoiling them. It was not particularly rare. The young delinquency was a thing too.

Kinda hard to say how many of them were adhd, but it is quite likely some were.
You're your own censor in this situation and that's probably what the sentence was getting at.

I censor myself all the time. There's numerous things I simply don't want to read or see, but I've made and own that decision for myself.

Here's a devil's advocate point of view:

Free speech/free press is an asset within a group when the following are true: A) members are acting in good faith which typically requires value systems to be not too divergent, B) members agree on how to arrive at the truth, and C) members are not confusing science (designed to be true), opinion (designed to be neither true nor false), and entertainment (designed to be false).

When one of these is not true, it creates liabilities that need to be managed. Social breakdown is the result of not managing these liabilities.

Probably an initial response will be: "well who decides X" ... if we've figured this out for engineering problems where lives are phyisically on the line we can figure it out for this. Any authoritative action whether it be laws or standards make some portion of people unhappy.

But surely one of the hallmarks of VC is to bet on multiple possible futures, only a minority of which needs to have a large payout? You could coherently believe that the web3 future is only 15% likely to arrive, but still justify investing in it -- and then once you've put in the money of _course_ you want it that future to be realized, and so you may as well act in ways that support it.
> Tech debt can [be] a strategic lever for success but is usually simultaneously a burden.

This isn't just true, it's the point of the “debt” metaphor; financial debt is also something used because it is a strategic lever for success but which is a burden once taken on. (It's true that use of the metaphor tends to emphasize the burden part because it is often deployed where the lever of success part is already internalized without regard for downstream cost.)

Wow. Interesting way to completely miss the point.
When the CDC or WHO tells us that there is merit to this work, I will know to give it credit. As long as they don’t, the paper is asking us to believe that public health institutions are somehow stupid or corrupt.

I am not qualified to evaluate the claims made here, directly. I am qualified to notice that there are a lot of prominent experts from big universities on TV telling us things that are not in keeping with some of the key claims of this paper.
Sure, neither Rust.

But the things that make Rust safe are not that much slower. Macros, Generics, all that syntax, all that lang complexity (ie: Not just the semantics but the way is surfaced) have a bigger impact.
A close relative's house burned this fall, so I can relate to this subject. It was in western Europe, so it probably differs from the US experience: insurance was a great help, and other structures (e.g. municipality) are now involved in building back the house. Unlike the article, it was not a from a large scale fire, so neighbor solidarity was very important and very useful.

In the case I know, the most important point was that the family could take care of the young children for the first week, which is the most chaotic. It also softened their trauma.

Another important point is to deal with the jobs: explain what happened, try to find temporary adjustments (co-workers and hierarchy were great in this case), and if working gets too hard, ask for a sick leave. I couldn't do any of this myself, but talking about it with the victims is essential.

Apart from this, all the points 1-9 of the article are valid and important. Especially in 1, "sift through ashes for remnants of cherished belongings", which is so heartbreaking for the house owners that it shouldn't be done alone.

Happy New Year!
Clearly, the ML algorithm had been given the goal of optimizing the happiness of the user. It had ascertained that the user was quite active on social media and had tied a significant amount of their self-worth to the number of likes received from posts and photos. It had correctly calculated that the user would extract more enjoyment from the photo by way of likes if their friend's face were replaced with an arrangement of foliage. The user clearly did not like that friend very much anyway due to the lack of engagement with their posts. Truly impressive technology.
I had some devastating experiences on my early 20s losing people i loved and cared so much. The trauma was so intense that i don’t remember almost anything from these terrible years. Eventually i moved on, but the trauma was never healed. I had another recent devastating experience that made everything come out again x10000 times worse. The goal is not just to move on, just for the sake of it. The goal is to accept what happened, stop blaming yourself and then move on.

My advice is to talk it with someone, and if you still struggle, seek for professional help. Better now than in 10 years.

Write down everything that happened and you keep thinking. Be specific, all your thoughts, feelings, facts, wishes, anything.

In addition, change your life as much as you wish and you can, change jobs, house, car, meet new friends, try new hobbies.

Happy new year and take care.

> Very much of what Telegram has done security wise is very well thought out and has improved over time

This is not my understanding of the situation at all. There's no end-to-end encryption by default [0], and the end-to-end encryption they do have received significant controversy at launch [1] for being essentially a "roll your own" crypto solution which indeed ended up being found to have some issues [2].

They disable the OS backup and instead they effectively store all their user's contacts, messages, media, etc. directly on their servers except for the conversations that the users directly opt out of by turning on e2e. They've promised since 2014 to open source everything but the backend, which stores all this data, is still closed source.

For small group or individual messaging, whatsapp, signal, or matrix are far better choices. I think it's worth acknowledging that telegram has a much bigger focus on large groups and therefore has to make different security tradeoffs, so I think if we consider telegram a social media service it's pretty good -- but is not the best messenger.

It's not clear to me that the doctor established as good a baseline with Carol as the other patient, but at any rate, seems easy enough to seek out a binary response signal provable on known facts for each patient to determine their responsiveness, and then develop a battery of yes/no questions that test all of their non-motor conscious thought processes.
I'm only going to talk about my programming goals.

1. Get my licenses [1] looked over by a lawyer. Maybe I'll do a GoFundMe since there seems to be some interest in them, and I can't budget the money for over a year. Or maybe I'll wait.

2. Get my build system to a releasable state (including the best documentation ever) and help FOSS projects switch if they want to, especially from Autotools-based builds.

3. Get my programming language to a releasable state.

4. Use my language to help people understand the benefits of structured concurrency. [2]

5. Build a standard library for my language that is based around structured concurrency.

> The core business can actually be hurt by unchecked trading of items.

Again, that's the point. Its obvious centralized market makers only make money when they control the market and limit market freedom, which is why its easy to imagine the players in general would prefer to avoid such a tax/manipulation/centralizing forces.

> How do you "influence developers" by trading some items outside the core of what the developers are building?

By placing personal value in systems that give users more freedom and assurance of the protocols they initially bought into. When people can understand that that is what they are being offered with a 'web3' approach, they can influence developers to build what's most demanded, i.e. basic economics.

> Ah yes, the hope that web3 may push towards unchecked trading of meaningless items (meaningless outside the game/business in question) that actually ruins the core game experience.

Ahh so Diablo items are meaningless now? Maybe to you, but certainly not to many other players as you've demonstrated. What about decentralized exchange protocols is unchecked? Its as safe as the blockchain itself - perhaps you are thinking of government regulations.

Well, I feel like your example goes the other way. Discord does feel like it’s always been the default, but many of us old timers remember the days of 2015, when everyone was using Mumble and Teamspeak except a few people trying to push this Discord app that had just launched.
I don't agree with this perspective. Crypto is designed to be a poor technology, the slowness, waste and scarcity are part of what lead to increasing prices, which is the only reason people have interest in it. If PCs were traded like beanie babies, with less regulation and bigger asset bubbles, then maybe this analogy would make sense. But PCs are designed to be useful, not only traded like commodities to increase fiat.

If this take, "crypto is bad technology but we're at the very start of it, it will get faster and more efficient," shouldn't Bitcoin Cash have won a long time ago? Few seem to care about actually using cyrpto for anything other than increasing fiat. It's 90% wash trading.
Tor enables content that work can't monitor or block. And it's associated with child porn, dark web drug networks, sex trafficking, and similar. In reality, it's a small part of Tor. In the media, that's all it's used for.
Yes, because otherwise you are still trusting a centralized third party, which has incentives to lock you in to an ecosystem =/
I’m not saying it’s not possible for it to be used this way. But you used the word “huge” to describe its popularity for legitimate cross border transactions, which is meaningless without data. On the other hand, if the vast majority of its use is for speculation and money laundering, then policymakers may decide to throw out the baby with the bath water.

It’s sort of like BitTorrent. Does it have legitimate use cases? Sure. Is the vast majority of its use to illegally share files? Also yes. (Note that approximately zero mainstream content providers such as Apple Music, Spotify, or Netflix use BT for delivering bits to customers.)
TLDR; A Lot of internet coupled with a lot of trial and error - fun times.

But seriously, I first started researching online how people trained their dogs for obedience and to do simple tasks. Read a couple of books on the subject, signed up for an online class (COVID lockdowns and all), watched tons of Youtube videos, which were more informative and way more practical than the classes and books and practiced a lot with my Dog. She picked up really fast and within a couple of months I had her doing some serious obedience tasks. I would say she and I learned together ;) After that, I amped up the work consistency and focused on the specific task she needed to do in my case to become a service dog. Now with that said I want to plug something here, there's a group called STSK9 that has an outstanding online dog training university. I found them way down in my path and I still may register since I love what they are doing to help teach people how to train dogs and from what see on their site + social media interactions their students and dogs get the best in the biz.

A few things that helped in my case:

- Set up a notebook and write your thoughts down on a regular basis. Read your past notes and learn to be kind to yourself.

- Find a new endeavor that gets you “in the flow”, that you truly enjoy doing

- Find a trustworthy person you can talk to once in a while

- Train your brain to generate positive thoughts by writing down 3 things you should be greatful for, every day. It will be mechanical at the beginning but will become more natural over time.

- Proactively remove things that make you unhappy. Find the worse offender today and remove it. Then move on to the next offender, etc.

Like others said: there is no quick fix. But you can do it. Best of luck to you.
That comparison doesn’t work for newer mirrorless cameras. I have a DSLR and mirrorless strapped to my body at each wedding and I go through more than twice the amount of batteries in the mirrorless.

They also take a second or so to wake from standby which is super annoying for my job, so I have it set to 5 minutes. That essentially means it never goes in to standby on a wedding day.
I meant feature-wise, the app is spectacular, but security-wise, it's not that trustworthy.
