That could be. I think they adopted a 2 year old. But in any case the process should not be made difficult or especially expensive (why?). It turns away a lot of well intended people.

I have seen the same with animal rescues. Some are very difficult to deal with (mostly because of bad prior experiences) so people go to breeders. In one way it's understandable but when you think about it it's unproductive and self-defeating to punish people for misbehavior of others (people also do this in relationships).

That's what code reviews are for. You don't need pair programing for that. Places like google go even beyond by having a 'readibility' pass score for the code to be able to ship.

Pair programing is something from the early 2000s, where code review tools were non-existent (I remember, people would just email diffs to each other), back in the day.

Older packages are more likely to be vetted as non-problematic than newer packages. As time goes own, the vulnerabilities are disclosed. If you're upgrading to a package that's 1 day old, the community hasn't had the time to go through that process and disseminate the vulnerability. Your point is valid, but I think it's an increased risk since time is against you when you accept fresher, newer, unproven versions of your dependencies.

Yes - the point is when setting all the most private privacy options on Windows 10 stops keeping a win+r run history. I didn’t go as far as installing a custom root CA and intercepting binary telemetry data to prove that the data was being sent. I think the fact that the MRU list is disabled strongly suggests that the product team assumed or new that it was collected.

- https://create.Storyteller.io does Twitch TTS and deepfaked cheer emotes, has a robust rule based system, and helps creators monetize and engage their audience.

- We also have motion capture, volumetric capture, voice conversion, virtual sets, etc. But I'm so tapped out with the growth that these haven't been spun off yet apart from internal use and close work with a few creators.

Silly toys that don't look like much now, but incredible promise, incredible traction, and signs of so many monetization channels. (Custom voice cloning, paid services for Twitch creators, broadcast studios, hosted rendering, etc. etc. etc.)

Yes, this was a feature of the war in Ukraine for Putin, not a bug.

He is using China as a template and I wholly expect Russia to be remade in China's image, using the war in Ukraine and resulting Western sanctions and aid as justification for doing so.

That's what people don't seem to want to get -- Putin wins this either way. Even if he gains no territory in Ukraine after all of this, he will have still dramatically shifted the internal state of Russia toward totalitarianism, will have cemented himself as dictator for life, will have complete domination over the population in terms of information and economics and will use all of this to militarize all aspects of Russian life.

And most Russians will support all of this.
There are several layers of propaganda, and you point to only one of them.

1) The propaganda for West is that "power balance" shit story. US citizens are distant enough to believe this is rational PoV. (it is not)

2) The propaganda for russians is that Ukraine is a failed state, has no legitimate govt, makes undercover nukes and nazis use ukrainian people as hostages. (all of this is lie)

3) The propaganda for Ukraine is that Russians and Ukrainians are literally "brothers", more "brothers" than ukrainians and poles. Everyone speaking russian language is part of Russia. (clear manipulation)

We Ukrainians don't like this propaganda and don't want live under Putin's (or any other non-democratic) regime. If US (and Europe) feels we can help them achieve their goals, we are fine with that. Because it aligns with our national goals -- make Russia weak, or even make it disappear from global map.
> Piracy is illegal not because it is unethica

I'm not making this claim.

I'm saying that in the context of this thread, saying "I wouldn't be pirating in that case, I'd be using YT with adblock" isn't very meaningful because using YT with adblock is equivalent to piracy from multiple relevant perspectives, including ethically[1] and economically. The legal perspective is not an especially relevant one to this thread, since the baseline was already being comfortable enough with the level of legal threat to pirate regularly.

[1] including the belief that both are ethically acceptable. Just clarifying again, because people seem to be reading a lot of implicit claims/value judgments into my comments that are not in there

If you refer to "The Art of 64-Bit Assembly", while this is correct, there are two things to consider

1. the real meat of ASM doesn't really depend on the Assembler, so one can (and ends up) coding the exercise with the Assembler of their choice

2. people have freely contributed the translation of the listings/programs to all the major Assemblers, so even if one doesn't want to code their own version, they can just use the contributed versions

Certainly, there are some chapters expressly dedicated to MASM functionalities, so those are wasted.

As a matter of fact, I worked through it on Linux/NASM, and wasn't really bothered, as the book is really good quality.

Some pictures have computer screens on them, one even has relatively modern tft monitors, which looks weird combined with the 50s atomic tech. It would not surprise me if these control rooms have never been updated and are still looking like this.
The overarching best practice is to reduce the number of points of compromise/failure to a bare minimum: if your trusted hardware can generate its own keys, then you shouldn't establish a separate trust relationship with a different machine to generate keys that get imported into your trusted hardware.
In the example, the developer uses a library for most of the main features e.g. flip/whoops and FastRoute. By pulling together these libraries, in effect, they have created their own framework have they not?

I guess is it's probably tricky to maintain rivet temperature - as soon as it contacts the hull, all the heat is going to flow out and the rivet is going to cool very rapidly. That would presumably have a negative effect on clamping pressure, because the rivet wouldn't shrink so much after it's been hammered in place.

I think the guy upthread had it right, however: probably the main difference was the manhours involved per rivet, just because you seem to need like four people working on each rivet at once. And, honestly, if a task is just horrible to do, that's got to have an effect on productivity.
open source software doesn't mean anything other than source is "open" - security is orthogonal. And also, just because more eyeballs are on it doesn't mean it is automagically more secure.

>I think stuu99 is off-base in several of their point

Then you're going to have to answer: why did we lose dedicated servers in fps and LAN in modern games like starcraft 2, and many others.

Things that used to come inside the game, Descent 1-3, Warcraft 1-3, Diablo 1-2, quake 1-3 Doom 1-3.

All those games had multiplayer built into their exe's. So you have a lot of explainig to do why multiplayer networking has been ripped out of games like

Transformers FoC (an unreal engine game)

https://imgur.com/oWeY5Ps

And games like Ridge racer unbounded

https://steamcommunity.com/app/202310/discussions/0/61282346...

Games from pre-steam era, multiplayer still work because they were embedded inside the exe. So you have a lot of explaining to do claiming "your mmo's" are special and I'm wrong, the easiest explanation is mmo's are just stolen PC games and they've been ripping out networking code once they realized you were computer illiterate/irrational to an insane degree in 97 with the advent of ultima online, lineage, everquest, guild war 1, asherons call and wow.

FoC is an unreal engine game, so why would we need to sign in to a remote computer to play multiplayer, when unreal 1, UT2003, UT2004, didn't require that? Or could it be those were all honestly coded local applications before the mmo-backend apocalypse infected all of gaming.
I was trying to figure out why the passed this law now. That makes sense-- as a tool to ensure loyalty. Otherwise, with all the already existing pressure coming from the falling value of the ruble, I don't know what use Putin would have of scaring his officials. Putin himself certainly already has enough money to weather any storm himself.
Not as reliable as physical buttons and you lose some tactile feedback.
It feels like this Twitterer is trying hard to spread propaganda that a lot of Russians support Putin. Maybe I'm biased, but I'll also take his tweets with a grain of salt. I could imagine a campaign of "soft" harassment where it'd be safer to put the "Z" on your car, because to not do so means you're with the enemy.

I really don't understand why the IO hit... If you're designing the OS, you can either scan a file when it's written to disk, or when it's read from disk, or sometime inbetween. when you have scanned a given file, you need not rescan it if the file hasn't changed.

These facts together mean that it should be really rare that any application needs to be waiting for any scanning - since scanning can happen anytime between a data write and a read of the same data.

> Hah, if you only had an idea of what the Facebook data faucet looked like in 2007-2017, your hairs would stand.

I really don’t understand the goal with vague statements like this that can’t even provide even the slightest hint of specifics.

What specific data? Even a single example would make this anecdote useful. Instead it feels more like a brag. “I know something but I’m not telling” but in this case the commenter doesn’t claim to have worked at Facebook (just the industry in general) so I suspect it’s hearsay anyway.

> Pretty sure they were breaking all kinds of PII laws.

Given the way Facebook has been under the microscope and dragged in front of Congress, I’m going to assume that their corporate counsel was very careful to provide at least a best-effort attempt to comply with every law available at the time. It may not be popular, but I really doubt Facebook was violating laws for a decade straight as the largest player in the space.
I’m not sure. My intuition comes from real analysis, where one can think of the “space of all continuous functions” as being kind of geometric like Euclidean space. Then “Universal Approximation” for some Special set of functions (say those coming from neural networks) is equivalent to saying those special functions are “dense” in the space of all continuous functions.

My geometric reasoning is that if a special collection is not dense, then it’s probably something like a lower-dimensional subspace, which really means you’re missing most of the ambient space in some sense. It’s all a bit handwavy but I hope that paints a picture.

Getting more in the weeds, there are theorems like https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stone%E2%80%93Weierstrass_theo... which suggest that being “dense in the space of continuous functions” is not as hard to achieve as one might guess.

Many years ago I watched a documentary where it was said that pale mint green was often chosen for control panels because it was deemed it had a calming effect on the operators.
I didn't say they should be touch-screens.

Tactile is not really relevant in most control rooms, where you want people to look at what they are doing anyway.

Also, screen-based interfaces have more advantages, such as the ability to show documentation that is 1 hover/click away. And showing warnings with precise information, right where you are looking (rather than have a red light somewhere turning on, and you have to find it).

> the older that a driver is, the more likely they are to have at least one DUI

The statistics don't back that up. Yes, the number of DUIs on an individual user's record increases monotonically, but that's an uninteresting observation and not what this is about. This is about the vehicle make/model that's being insured and that's highly likely to be the same as (or similar to) the one in which the DUI was incurred. The median age for DUI citations in the US is 30; the median overall is 38. Here are some more detailed statistics.

https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/...

Drinking to DUI levels has always been more prevalent among the young. So has getting behind the wheel in that condition instead of getting a ride. People get more DUIs when they're young, and the vehicles mentioned definitely do correlate with a younger demographic. Not a lot of old folks in WRXes, unless you think 30 is old.
