My mom fell for a similar ad on Google for her computer. They got her to install a remote access tool but she managed to wise up before they got anything sensitive (aside from some payment, iirc).

I know it is a rats nest of jurisdictions and technological boundaries to track down people who are, I will admit, relatively small time scammers. The organizations capable of doing so often have much bigger fish to fry.

This is why I fully endorse making Google and FB liable. They are in a commercial arrangement with these scammers, and providing them access to clueless elderly folk who maybe should know better, but often don't.
While the shape is somewhat similar to a draken or an f-16xl with a cranked delta wing. There doesn't appear to be a vertical stabilizer.

It's possible that this is an existing aircraft modified to test alternate aerodynamic configurations similar to the F-15 STOL. Alternately it could be a flight-ready version of one of the tailless NGAD designs.
Interesting write up, a not comparable example as my house build was nothing like this scale or cost (I imagine), but during building our house it was interesting to observe where problems came from and how they could be fixed.

The architects -> engineering -> builder handoff is obviously the most lossy, tons of context/intent/purpose is lost in these steps, and normal way incentives align doesn't help with each group being sympathetic to the greater mission, the more they care or clarify etc the more time things take / cost incurred. It is natural to assume everyone is thinking the same as you and will be motivated because you are paying them, but they rarely are, they care less about the result than you do so staying on top of the details you care about throughout the process is a must.

What worked great for us was to have the builder part of the architecture design process and inject their learnings of how to actually build the thing along the way, rather than trying to bolt it on at the end. This isn't normally the way things work as normally architectural drawings are a primary input to a tender process to find a builder.. so is a bit cart before horse but we already had a builder so could avoid that.
Hah. Well I know, you're never supposed to ask on this board. Sometimes I just get taken by surprise though... like, there are really people with strongly positive views about SVG out there? Now I'm curious who they are and why they like it.
Interesting, though not too surprising. Do you remember what the regexes were that your assignment used?

Go's regexp package does have a couple of advantages over Python, Perl, and so on: 1) it's guaranteed linear time in the length of the input, regardless of the regex, see https://swtch.com/~rsc/regexp/regexp1.html, and 2) it's a relatively simple implementation.
I was enthusiastic about Void, until I learned more about its history.
> If that can happen, then that is a security flaw of the device and should be fixed, no?

Yes. It should be fixed.

Guess what? Nobody has ever in human history figured out how to make software that is free of security flaws. That’s why these things are only part of the solution.

> I mean, reading a text could install a virus on iPhones last year, yet I didn't see people screaming that all texts should have to go through Apple to make sure they aren't a virus

If you think application software is like a text message then you don’t know enough to comment on this issue.
The dichotomy being presented (e.g. "state intrusion" vs "vulnerable people die") is not a genuine representation of the choice we have/have had.

There are far more variables involved than that. The most obvious counterpoint is that after about March 2020 (e.g. zero-covid off the table) there is no realistic situation in which 80 year olds can just go to the pub and not be at high risk.

Terraform Industries Whitepaper
You should seek to understand before parroting talking points like this.

First, federal jurisdiction includes: mandating vaccine passports at the border, firing employees in federally-regulated industries that are unvaccinated, and preventing unvaccinated Canadians from being able to travel via plane or train domestically. There is also evidence to suggest that the Canadian government pressured the US government into implementing their own mandate on cross-border transportation to match ours.

Second, over 30% of Canadians polled support these specific protests, and over 50% of Canadians want to see an end to all provincial and federal mandates. In the face of omicron there is zero science to support vaccine passports or other restrictions, and frankly there never was.

Third, many vaccinated Canadians like myself are supportive of peaceful protests aimed at restoring basic charter rights even for those we might disagree with. I've always thought it disgusting that Canadians cheered on while unvaccinated Canadians lost their jobs or couldn't send their kids to university... this is exactly why minority rights are so important.

Finally, it's common for protests to occur in Ottawa about all manner of issues because it's the nation's capital. Suggesting that none of the protestors understand who has jurisdiction over what is false.
It is modern as in modernist style of design.

I don't get it though either. That style is for flexing and showing off to other people. In that location I would want a baddass log cabin.

No, I'm not. The idea that supply increase is inflation is a rejected Austrian economics concept with no basis in reality.
If found guilty, I imagine it would set a precedent that opens the floodgates for a great many more to follow.

I don't know much about the AU legal system; if this were the US they would likely try to get the prosecutors to drop the case / settle out of court in exchange for a vague promise to do better.
I don’t understand this attitude at all. Your first “cost“ is like saying there’s an opportunity cost to my purchasing bubble gum and putting it on a shelf because other people can’t chew that bubble gum and I’m not chewing it yet.
Yeah, this is a kind of trolling/flamebaiting behavior. Even if we assume good faith, ilitirit is at best bragging that they are so galaxy-brained that they can't understand why everyone isn't making a bigger deal about Real Issues. It's not cute and it's not interesting.
Again, Japan proves you wrong and me right because they 3X'd their money supply and prices stayed exactly the same for 30 years in real and notional terms. Austrian economics does not explain that. Which is why we don't use it.
Then they can continue to use Apple's App Store and all the other stores will fail.

My take is that slavery is bad and that you your statement about basic commerce was wrong.

You clearly don't like the restrictions and mandates. If you want to have a productive conversation on the topic with other reasonable people then focus less on precedent and more on why these things are bad regardless of precedent. You'll have to do that with someone else though: your method of discussion up to this point has verged more towards reflexive provocation than productive conversation.
Honestly I'm thinking more and more that devs only have 1-2 decades left before enough of the stack gets easy enough to automate. While there is a whole process in developing quality software that is extremely difficult to automate, often many shops don't require this and so it remains to be seen if these high salaries will be sustainable. With the rising costs of maintaining a solid middle class life in this country and no safety net, I suspect this magical opportunity a few have been fortunate enough to get will not exist for the next generation of developers. Efforts such at TPP and "Learn to Code" are tools used to chip away at this advantage these workers in the tech industry currently have over employers.

The only hope I have is that most efforts to automate real software development have fallen apart thus far and that it is hard to do this job for many people trying to "learn to code". However I worry about what AI advancements will bring. No way to know until it happens...
I think he's upset that we turned civilization upside down for a virus, which in the grand scheme of things is a moderate problem, but not for air pollution or climate change, which are cataclysmic problems.
That is just damn good advice for a lot of situations.
I think my first Linux distro was actually Yggdrasil, but right after that I tried Slackware and found it was much more complete and easy to use. You could also order a 4 CD box from Walnut Creek with tons of packages.

I kept subscriptions from Walnut Creek to both FreeBSD and Slackware for about 10 years. They would automatically send me new versions as soon as they were released.
I also started with Slack floppies, but never really thought about how much it taught me. Disk partitions, files systems, permissions, networking, drivers, etc. It really did force learning at least a base level of all aspects of the system.

I have been a generalist for most of my career and that may not have happened without Slackware.
Now do Japan.
Still saves CPU cycles. We're talking about max 7GB/s for PCIe Gen4x4. Software based encryption also add small latency.
The tech is simple enough that many others have released it already and it provides a lot of benefit to the world. I'm glad they put consideration in to how it could be abused and think the world is net better off with airtags.
I am mostly take-it-or-leave-it on achievements but I keep the notifications turned off because it's super annoying to get to a big dramatic moment in the story and have an achievement with a dumb punny name pop up. It kinda ruins the reward of "getting this cool story beat" with the supposed reward of "one more virtual trophy".

There was a time when I would have detested them because they would be constant teases to the part of me that wants to get 100% on any game I start playing, but that was before I sunk the time into getting the astoundingly disappointing reward for getting 130% in Crash Bandicoot 2 and swore off ever doing that again for a game that wasn't pure joy to play.
You can always buy a developer account.
The average salary distribution is surprising to me. I find myself right in the middle of the distribution (~50th percentile), and yet I know for a fact that I have the highest salary out of everyone in my social circle, which includes several competent workers in the same field. I also believe other data suggests that my household income puts me at least in the top 10% of earners. How can these both be true at the same time? Do these data really represent the state of the general labor market?
Yeah, but it's worse than that.

Most of the world's response to coronavirus, in my view, was and is about as sane as if we decided to like, live underground to combat climate change.

Even if it works (why would it) you've lost, because now you live underground.

Simplicity of implementation isn't what users need, though; they need performance. For example, you can make GCC into a much simpler C compiler by compiling at -O0, but in practice nobody does that.

"February 3 19122"

Took a look to see what's up with that (I'm not familiar with javascript) but it looks like he was using a function that returned the number of years since 1900, with the "19" hardcoded. So for 1995-1999 it would've worked fine, but since 2000 it has been 19100, 19101, etc.

A precedent that a publisher is responsible for ads that it publishes? I expect that it already exists. They may as well plead guilty and promise at the sentencing that they are improving their systems so that it won't happen (much) ever again.

Edit: in this case, the charges seem to be a bit more involved, such as money laundering. I suppose publishing misleading ads has been happening for a long time, and I don't know exactly what laws apply. Plenty of people may have been scammed buying dodgy used cars in classified ads, for example.
One of our ACLs at work relies heavily on Go regexp. The performance of evaluation is actually not too bad. What is quite terrible is the performance of *compiling* regexps.
If that were true, would we all just breath a sigh of relief and say "whew, it's only to prevent money laundering"?

But AFAICT it's not accurate, and KYC checks exist to prevent other forms of illegitimate activity (e.g. loan fraud associated with identity theft) which fit pretty neatly inside most definitions of "scam."
This article was from the perspective of someone who doesn’t need Starlink.

They already have (pricey) fast internet.

Starlink isn’t for them. It’s for idiots like me who live far enough out of town that nobody wants to run cable or fiber to me.

I’ve literally offered to pay for “whatever it takes” to AT&T and Comcast on several occasions only to be told it’s just never going to happen.

I don’t like Elon Musk, what he stands for, how he manages companies, staff or social media. But I’ll throw fists with anyone who wants to talk poorly of Starlink.

My only option for internet was 5mbit/768k. Now I can play FPS and stream 4k video to multiple screens simultaneously.

Until we as a nation (USA) start investing in telecomm infrastructure Starlink is going to be as good as it gets for me.
That is simply false. Here is the original press release from Pfizer when they received an FDA emergency use authorization. They never claimed any specific level of effectiveness against infection.

Ubuntu bundling zfs is a pretty good and convenient feature. As for the alternatives, mdadm + ext4/xfs is fine (i.e., does what it says on the tin), but all the other alternatives, especially the ones championed by RedHat - lvm, thin provisioning, stratis and the likes, are messy, fragile and not really used at scale by the general populace. With file systems, and linux in general, you want things that are battle tested by regular people.

Not any more than you worry about someone kicking in your shit-tacular cheap door, or drilling the lock out. Homes aren't often fortresses; you'd build differently if you lived in an unsafe, unstable area. Lots of homes in America have no property walls or fences, either--probably the supermajority of them. I assume that's also true for Canada, especially in uh, the woods.
