The DMCA notice process is specifically about copyright infringement. The circumvention prohibited by chapter 12, section 1201 is not included in the definition of copyright infringement provided in chapter 5, and chapter 12 defines its own set of remedies for violations (both civil and criminal). So it seems completely unjustified to use the formal DMCA notice process for this kind of complaint—there's no copyright infringement here, so there's no need for a takedown process that protects online providers from being liable for their users' infringing activities.

Well, the creator proposed it to be called "jiff" to specifically reference that word. Because Gifs are compressed, they would download much faster (a jiffy) over slow dialup internet connection than a bmp.
Why try to pronounce it at all... Just spell it out as G-I-F.

I get that people want to be lazy but pronouncing acronyms/contractions has always been fraught with disagreement. Same goes for things like SQL (which somehow gets pronounced as "sequel") while people leave PDF alone.
Oh and interestingly I had to set a separate transport rule in M365 in order for M365 to follow our DMARC policy for internal emails. A bit weird, but there you go.
Notch's story is bittersweet to me.

He ended up bowing out from the game and largely retreating from the tech space entirely. Lotta reasons for that; but mainly -- as a wildly successful entrepreneur he suddenly found himself to be a highly influential figure whose every casual statement caused news article to get written[0] and he DID NOT WANT THAT AT ALL.

True, he made a ridiculous amount of money, but I don't know if it was worth giving up his creativity.

Okay that’s good context, now objectively what do you think about it on this topic and does it matter? What do you think it having the possibility of failing has to do with whether you spend time on it or being quizzical about the people that do?

This isnt as simple as the LA Mayor’s response as mentioned in the above article, where he basically said “we’ll live our lives not bothering each other instead”, as we are all capitalists here there is alot of alpha. The alpha is built in seamlessly to your contributions, if you build. If you build you exercise a sentiment towards a world you want to exist, even if the technology stack does not allow it to succeed. And yet you make enough money. So you make enough money working on something you believe in. If the possibility of the technology being the limitation is your issue with it, then just call it entertainment. The entertainment industry, and that has unambiguous value too.
Why would they do this?

I was a very slow reader in college and found out later, after speaking to an eye doctor, that I had BVD (binocular vision disorder) which has a symptom of patients needing to read and reread text many times (in addition to general anxiety and walking problems, oddly). After getting corrective (prism) lenses my reading life improved drastically as well as a lot of other things. What's crazy to me is that I had no idea my eyes were pointing in different directions. How many people must go undiagnosed? Anyway, maybe something to look into.

A year ago James Burton tried out some EEG devices for his project [1], and it seemed like noise filtering (funny enough he had to filter the AC frequency commonly used in UK grid) and things such as "skin moisture" affected the electrode outputs quite a bit.
Is this still the case when using EEG devices, including this implementation?

Yeah, quite often in HPC you very much do want to be able to control the alignment and packing (even though it's annoying to do), because you'll get caching issues otherwise, depending on the access patterns and size of the data.
> It's not a very different solution in practice.

It makes a difference in the presence of generics, since at that point laying out fields efficiently in the face of every possible combination of types is a task that only the compiler can perform. There's nothing that says that it needs to be the default behavior, but if you want efficient space usage then you need more than a lint, you need some way to enable automatic field reordering.
Nah. Ringo just is objectively bad at art. That's ok. You don't have to call it modern art. It's utter trash. He's not even trying. There's 0 self awareness here. But that probably happens when you're a Beatle and everyone around you just says yes.

What really sucks is that there are authors whos work I want to support but who have chosen (or more likely their publisher has chosen) to us a DRMd format.

I find that frustrating but a lot of that has to do with the contract that the author signed to be able to write the book in the first place.

I wish I could just skip all DRM free content but that is not the world I find myself in.
Your argument could be used to describe any software defect, whether malicious or accidental. Open-source code is mostly not produced with any knowledge of downstream servers; that's the responsibility of the server owners. The software developers also have a responsibility to ensure they trust the author and are okay with the code they are importing into their own projects.
Stroke/heart attack is still one of the top 3 killers in the US, and most people look for alternative explanations first, which makes little sense to me.
>Remember, this isn't a simple pneumonia bug. It's a virus that attacks the RAAS/ACE2 system, in particular all the epithelial tissues, and any other cells that express ACE2 receptors on their surfaces. It can mess with your kidneys.

Long Covid is my new normal. If 15% of everyone who gets Covid ends up like me, heck even if it's 1%, we're in for a wave of hurt.

If we assume it becomes endemic, and we all just treat it like the flu, then assume 1% of cases for each new variant also end up like me. At one variant/year, we're looking at decimating the working population before 2030.

This alone is a big enough shift, in our "just in time" world, to set of societal changes like the end of the feudalism and the beginning of the enlightenment.

> it may have long-term sequelae, like Shingles, which only show up years to decades later.

It is important at this point to remember that the first wave of the 1918 pandemic was much like the first wave of Covid, it mostly effected the old. The second wave of the pandemic was the one that killed more people than WWI, mostly the young and healthy.
> If the SARS family of coronaviruses had emerged just a decade earlier it's quite likely we'd be on the brink of civilizational, if not species-level, extinction by now...If SARS1 had gone pandemic we might plausibly have lost a billion people within two years.

Huh? Losing a billion people in two years is not "brink of civilizational, if not species-level, extinction". I hate this kind of over exaggeration wrapped up in seemingly reasonable and scientific sounding statements.

Truth is that if covid/sars had occurred a decade ago, it wouldn't have been much different in the infection and mortality stats. What might have been different is the population's reaction to the extreme authoritarianism displayed by governments.
I like how we all know this is impossible to settle and yet wade in with our arguments anyway.

It's just because those first couple of Star Wars movies were just so exciting/imaginative etc. The universe was so lived-in and fantastic.

Trek has its moments, but it's just more boring. A lot of talky talky and slow and/or repetitive sequences. Even if it's more intellectually interesting as a whole, story-wise.

Even Star Wars was kind of slow by modern standards but the audiovisual design was just monumental.

Why should I be concerned with the specific type of signature spoofing used by microg? AIUI it only enables signature spoofing for their specific keys, not applications/publishers generally.

What if I do not want to run Google Play Services at all (or any proprietary code from Google)? Can Graphene sandbox microg instead?
I truly don’t understand trusting anything from a package manager. Download the code. Read through it. Then host it on your own server and manually include it. Anything else is pure insanity to me.
Not undefined behaviour, but you can get "false sharing" where data from structs/member variables ends up in particular cache lines depending on their address (and the -way of the caches of the processors). Depending on the algorithm and the access patterns it's relatively common (at leasts in HPC space in my experience) to get overhead / inefficiencies due to false sharing or other aliasing issues (4k aliasing on Intel CPUs, although that's arguably a slightly different issue), due to cache line 'collisions' of different member variables being written to in the caches in sub-optimal ways due to the algorthm.

So for HPC code, you very much do want the ability to re-order them manually.
I wonder how this compares to OpenBCI. I was very close to dropping the money on an electrode cap and the OpenBCI hardware but maybe it was good I didn't if this ends up being more affordable. I wonder how the resolution compares - I remember reading that OpenBCI needed some tweaking to achieve a 250hz sample rate.

I voted Trek, but there are some good Star Wars TV shows.
Interesting questions. I don't know the answer and I believe even lawyers might have trouble with this.
I guess it would come down to 1) how technically savy is the user(is it a FAANG engineer or a grandma? is it expected from a FAANG engineer to look at the diffs when applying updates? Is a grandma expected to read the release notes?) and 2) how malicious is this code change?

Are the users updating the only ones wronged or first-time users too?
Say you're installing a library for the first time. The library says it does A, you install it and realizes is does B, are you then allowed to sue the author? I guess it depends on how far A is from B and how malicious B is, but the author explicitly stated the code comes with no guarantees. Should anyone that installs "left-pad", but then realize the lib only does right-padding be able to successfully sue the author? The code explicitly comes with no guarantees!
It seems very tricky and I'm not sure we can write deterministic black-or-white laws for this, but again, maybe I'm applying a higher standard based on SWE practices for other trades. As far as I know, the legal system is on the hands of politicians who write non-total functions and judges who interpret those functions as they wish.
Unfortunately I've had many related experiences. Mail works at first or on a small scale, but eventually a customer with Google workspace mail tells you email goes to junk, and Google support sends you this article in response which describes a range of requirements including dmarc.

It's not that they can't do security without going full authoritarian, I think they do it because they want to go authoritarian. The new security benefits are just a vehicle.

They're a lot like the common politician who smuggles horrible laws into relief bills or trade treaties. UEFI (especially on the ARM platform) and intel ME are to examples of this.
Some countries want to run their own currencies, but most of them really just outsource to the dollar or a printing press in Germany.

It’s almost like we already have a global order.

I run my own server for myself, which is just that I have multiple machines. And I like them to be accessible by me no matter where I am.
> "an activity using the material"

You cut off a few words that probably carry real meaning:

> "does not have actual knowledge that the material or an activity using the material on the system or network is infringing;"

So there's a (somewhat ambiguous) restriction that the only activities this clause is concerned with are those happening on the system or network operated by the service provider that wants safe harbor protection against liability for their users' infringement.

And to determine what activities can qualify as copyright infringement, you have to look in section 501 and the other sections it references; section 512 does not alter the definition of copyright infringement, it just adds nuance to who can be held liable for infringement.
If I write some code and decide to upload it to NPM for others to use under a FOSS license, that's my decision.
If I decide to stop hosting my code on NPM, that's my decision too.

If an end user downloaded that code when it was hosted, and are now using it, good for them.
If an end user sets up their build pipeline in such a way that it re-downloads the code X number of times per hour/day/week, and I decide not to do FOSS work any more, and thus take it down, then that's the end users problem.

I think this is the difference between expectations and reality that's causing this to be such a big conversation.

The code(each version of it, even the busted one) was FOSS licensed, and you can do what you want with it no questions asked. But nobody is under any obligation to continue providing you with that code indefinitely just because you decided to depend on it always being available on other peoples servers.

I'd suggest thinking of this differently. You don't want (nor should you care, imo) if every last recruiter is looking at your LinkedIn profile. You want the right recruiter to look at your profile.

Post content about your work, and the stuff you can do. Stuff you're able to share that makes you stand out.
That's the first place I went after reading the news. I also discovered that (not sure if true) the Tourette's Guy won a scratch off ticket for 250k and then became a hoarder.
I feel like the “smart” move would have been to relicense and “GPL bomb” all the corporations. That would have negatively impacted exactly 0 users but probably caused every software company to actually fork or move to something else like the author originally requested. In the community it would have resulted in much more interesting discussion around software licensing and how to support package maintainers rather than just royally piss everyone off with punk behavior. Kids these days…

I'm a diehard fan of BOTH Star Wars and Star Trek. And I can say Star Trek has better influence, especially to the fandom who understand accurately what its messages are.
> Packages are literally remote code exec vulns in the hands of package authors

There are 20m+ weekly downloads of the colors package alone. He has what amounts to remote execution privileges to people using that package. When the subject of compromised packages comes up and he’s demonstrated that he’s willing to publish malicious updates, it’s completely fair to wonder what else he’s willing to do with that level of access to that many systems. It’s irresponsible not to consider what his packages can do to your systems.
> By Go doing nothing, a developer can manually solve both A and B.

In Rust, you can annotate a struct declaration with "#[repr(C)]" to prevent the compiler from reordering fields. I don't see why the Go compiler couldn't offer something similar.
This is a strawman argument. It presents the two options as mutually incompatible, whereas they are not (as demonstrated by other languages that allow to do both).

Omicron Makes Vaccine Mandates Obsolete
So far as I have heard, the UK went way harder into lockdowns and other measures than the US. And from what I saw, what happened to the US was insane. Everything was closed down for months (or longer depending on the industry.) Supply chains were incredibly disrupted. The government went deeply into debt and inflation is skyrocketting. There are still shortages of many things for the forseeable future. Unprecedented numbers of people have lost their jobs.

I literally can not imagine thinking this is comparable to any other economic event, since the world wars or great depression anyway.
I thought that nothing could made me feel more nostalgic than seeing Norton Commander but then I saw Battle Chess.

Earlier today I was reading about the history of ThinkPad and found this gem on Wikipedia:

Democrats are using the shameful legacy of slavery to commit further shameful acts - racist takings from people who did nothing wrong, because of the crime of having a particular skin color.

This is no different than 80 years ago how we were told the Japanese were a dire threat — so people could take their farms in California and upwards along the coast.

Nothing good will come of Democrats embracing institutional racism.
The problem with npm is that you'll have to read a LOT of transitive dependencies.

There is a reason why there is a large cottage industry doing security scanning of npm deps.

In the end it all depends on who you trust.
I want to be excited, but the blinking and chewing signals demonstrated in the paper are not true EEG signals, they are muscular artifacts. Based on my own experiments with OpenBCI[0], specifically the cython board and the ultracortex with spike electrodes, this paper does not demonstrate the most difficult part, measuring actual brain generated EEG signals.

I could not separate any signal out from the noise, neither with the provided software (which ostensibly filters and bins alpha, theta, beta, and gamma waves), nor while trying to roll my own filtering. That's not to say that this isn't good work, but I think the real difficulty is in the electrode hardware. I suspect that passive electrodes are unlikely to be very useful for the hobbyist, at least not at consumer level prices, which are still quite high. Maybe there was just something unlucky about my hair/scalp, but even the ostensibly simple closed eye alpha signal eluded my measurement attempts.

It's been a year or two, I haven't kept up if there have been developments, open to suggestions! I don't trust myself to build active electrodes, a reasonably priced kit would be awesome.

> you would need a lens with a diameter of about 4e10 meters.

Probably a mirror rather than a lens. And actually all you need is two mirrors separated by 4e10 meters, not a single mirror of that diameter:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_interferometer

The problem would be the amount of signal you can collect. Might be interesting to do a calculation of the number of photons that would be detectable at that distance per unit solid angle to figure out roughly how big the mirrors would have to be to capture an image in a reasonable amount of time.
