> What should they do instead?

When someone submits a patch for a vulnerability label the commit with that information.

> You have to rush to patch in any case.

The difference is how much of a head start attackers have. Attackers are incentivized to read commits for obfuscated vulns - asking defenders to do that is just adding one more thing to our plates.

That's a huge difference.

> the logical step is that it doesn't require immediate action when the label is not there.

So I can go about my patch cycle as normal.

> Never mind that the bug might actually be exploitable but undiscovered by white hats.

OK? So? First of all, it's usually really obvious when a bug might be exploitable, or at least it would be if we didn't have commits obfuscating the details. Second, I'm not suggesting that you only apply security labeled patches.
I reject the notion continuity with an unwanting parent is always the "best thing" and I've read quite a few anecdotes from people raised in such a situation that they wished the parents who didn't want them would yield to someone who did. Sure anecdotes don't prove it's always the case, but it shows it's not never the case either. Once again, continuity can turn into a bad thing if the continuous state is "unwanted." I'd rather spend at least _some_ time with people that want me than all my time with people that don't.

>>A kid is not better off...

>Shuffling kids around based on whichever home would be “best” for them according to an evolving situation is a terrible idea.

You're now contradicting yourself. Earlier you were worried about the kid being where they were better off. Now you say that's a terrible idea. You lack continuity.

I've never scaled production, but having done hardware prototyping this sounds right to me. You can make some pretty clever thing with off-the-shelf components from DigiKey or Mouser, a soldering iron and a 3D printer. You scale 3d printing a bit with a partner like Xometry. Or even ordering custom fabricated plastic or metal. The team I had to build was primarily software with enough hardware knowledge to make things happen. The biggest gap was hiring an industrial designer who could do the details drawings of how to fit all the components and make sure the external dimensions fit the usage and had some style. We even managed to wrangle UL certification for a few things we built which is onerous and costly, but surprisingly not too complicated.

> zero self awareness

You can buy this or not, but I wrote that with the awareness that this applies to both sides. I guess I needed an ";)" to make it clear to people I'm condesending to.

On the topic of buying stuff, sorry, your anecdote of being schooled by clever other-siders doesn't mean to me you get to know 100% that criticism of Fox News is 'an easy "tell" that [the critic is] probably an out of touch liberal "elite" with an ego that probably needs some deflating (at least when it comes to politics).'. Where's that humility in that sentence, with you being so cocksure that you get it and I don't? You even said "anecdote", just because some smart Fox News viewers convinced you they're not being brainwashed, it doesn't mean the majority of FN viewers them are that clever and un-brainwashed - here I go again saying I'm not buying your shit, like I know better, right?

I didn't write any criticism of NBC or CNN, but no, I don't watch them either, they're garbage.
It's important to understand that Superman (as with some other superheroes) is fundamentally a profoundly Jewish figure, an exploration of universal ideas from the Hebrew bible and the Talmud, hitched to US national pride and universal parallels from other cultures.

Every single Superman story is at some level like it could be something from the Talmud about the costs and benefits of Jehovah's day-to-day involvement in the lives of his faithful. The writers were steeped in this culture.

He's not a vigilante. He's more like an actively-involved angel (or avatar in the Hindu sense).

The stories ultimately build into parables about intervention in human free will, and the costs and responsibilities of accepting that intervention.

The reason I say this is to point out the impossibility of this comparison.

Superman does not do "good", he does "god".

Politicians can do "good".

I am not by any means a comic book aficionado. Or Jewish! I'm the son of an RE teacher who was fascinated by subconscious cultural expressions of universal religious themes in sci-fi and comics. (She was really a Star Wars fan, read the books even!)
How do you figure? Unless you mean member states would just ignore their agreements, treating an attack on one as an attack on all is pretty strong?
How U.S. Visa Delays Are Taking a Costly Toll on Frustrated Workers
This is only partially fair. In Rust you would probably have assigned a new object into *buf here instead of overwriting the fields manually. It is good practice to do this (if the code is logically an object initialization, it should actually be an object initialization, not a bunch of field assignments), but it's clunky to do so in C because you can't use initializers in assignments.
Functional Web Apps
I guess the thing that really makes NVMe -> GPU really practical is the presence of arbitrary shader code. Even if your assets are some general or optimized format, you can run an arbitrary shader that copies from one buffer to another in order to get stuff in the right format.
I completely agree. I am Romanian, and in our country, €20 for software was seen as an impossible amount of money. Nobody would pay that amount for software, even companies I worked at used pirated software.

I sometimes get the “I come from a poor country” email and after checking if the email is not some usual spammer, I provide a 50-75% discount code depending on the country.

I understand that price should be relative to the country, and I have smaller prices on Paddle for the countries that are supported.
> Resistive heat (like a light bulb or space heater) is terribly inefficient.

My personal concept of resistive heat is effective comes from a YouTube channel called Technology Connections. The argument is that almost all of the energy taken in by an electric resistive heater is given out as heat so it is pretty close to 100% efficiency. I understand that a heat pump is practically a better alternative for almost all use cases though.

Similarly, speaking of electric light bulbs, my understanding is there is no reason why an LED light bulb shouldn't last over ten years of continuous use. At least that is my impression from this reddit comment (please correct me if I am wrong)

https://old.reddit.com/r/HomeImprovement/comments/leunb1/why...

> There are many poorly manufactured LED lights out there. The LED itself is typically fine, but the driver electronics in the base tend to fail on poor quality products.

> I was having lots of failures for a while, but much less lately as I've tried to look for more brand name products.
This piece from the article was interesting:

"NVMe devices are not only extremely high bandwidth SSD based devices, but they also have hardware data access pipes called NVMe queues which are particularly suited to gaming workloads. To get data off the drive, an OS submits a request to the drive and data is delivered to the app via these queues. An NVMe device can have multiple queues and each queue can contain many requests at a time. This is a perfect match to the parallel and batched nature of modern gaming workloads. The DirectStorage programming model essentially gives developers direct control over that highly optimized hardware."
Personally, I think the color and higher luminosity per light bulb (both very desired features at the times of incandescent lighting) were what made those bulbs successful.

Even though those companies made an effort to push the bulbs (and were very happy with the result), and they were overall cheaper for the customer than the long-lived ones, I don't think any of those factors is impactful enough to explain the change on the entire market. Notice that those companies didn't own the entire market at the time, just a huge fraction of it. If people wanted the yellower bulbs, they could get them.
> Our starting point is the realization that any leader worth her salt wants as much power as she can get, and to keep it for as long as possible. Managing the interchangeables, influentials, and essentials to that end is the act, art, and science of governing.

What a cynical starting point. It's just basic Machiavelli, but gussied up with modern-sounding language and fairly basic Realpolitik thinking thrown in.

It's incredibly narrow-minded too. There were actual philosopher kings and political thinkers and democracies outside our current zeitgeist. Nevermind that some systems actually have term limits, constitutional limitations on power, and lo and behold, some people actually leave office when voted out or their term ends.

Maybe the book is better, but I have trouble reading this with such a fumbling start.
Hello! Russian SW developer from Moscow is here.

First, it's been a shock for all the society.
No one would imagine in a worst dream that this attack would happen.
Even when Putin made his speech about acceptance of LNR/DNR we were like "phew, another shitty fake politics, nothing really changes".

But then the war started.
And no one expected that! I think, even military or economic ministers didn't expect that. People are in the shock.

First, it's been incredibly painful to watch our beloved friends in Ukraine are suffering, fleeing the country and turning to be our enemies forever.
Almost every Russian have some relative or friend in Ukraine, and now these bonds are broken forever. It's very very painful!
The fact that the source of suffering is your country doubles the weight.

Second, there is an information attack "Every Russian is to shame", which targets even those who fleed the country seeking the asylum from Putin. It feels very dehumanizing and racist actually. When I opened facebook there was some ads with corpses of Russian soldiers, and FB moderation was okay with it. Now Facebook is blocked(which is actually good thing, it doesn't help, only melt people's minds).

Most people in Russia are very poor, and don't read facebook/watch youtube. They see the beautiful TV picture of brave Russian forces fighting Ukrainian nazis, without resistance from ordinary people. So this facebook war is only doing harm to educated class which doesn't have political power anyway.
The news about oligarchs who lost their yachts can only give Putin additional support.

Third, of course, it's very scary. We may die from nuclear war. We can end up in some North Korea/Iran scenario and never see Europe again. Businesses are falling, Europe connections are cut one by one. Russian people are used to some bad times, but I've never seen events unfolding so fast and so tragic and unpredictable.

There is a lot of propaganda from both of sides, lot of fakes, and infowar is melting our brains. Some people are panicking and try to move to Georgia/Armenia. Some are just preparing for bad days trying to hold on and help their families. Some people are happy with their TV picture.
Most of people are just trying to hold as much as they can - work, prepare for growing season, save their businesses. We don't have illusions that life
will just go on after the war is over.

The future is very unclear, but everyone I know just want this war to be over as soon as possible and with as low casualties as still possible and then work hard to deal with consequences.
I hope it isn't, of course. ( the nuclear taboo).

But, what this war has exposed is how bad the russian army is trained, and how not so great their equipment is. While a prolonged war would be hard for any country, they struggled from the get go.

I hope this doesn't embolden the US and Europe to be more aggressive. I really hope that cooler heads eventually prevail.

WRT to the really really far fetched ( I hope ), that Russia would launch any nuclear strike. The missile defense systems that NATO and the US have were built exactly to counteract Russian missiles in a situation like this. This will even accelerate the development of hypersonic interceptors ( afaik, already in final stages) .

It would mean total annihilation of russia, as their in flight missies would be intercepted, and it would guarantee a total attack by the us. ( we as a nation tend to over react... and not go tit for tat ).

I hope this never happens. The reason why countries need leadership changes often. And why stable leaders are needed everywhere :-/

> About this "manufactured obsolescence of light bulbs" conspiracy theory which gets repeated over and over again:

You should be really cautious when using the phrase “conspiracy theory” especially when talking about a cartel for which we have plenty of historical evidences.

Of course the Phoebus cartel isn't responsible for all problems with light bulbs, and it didn't even worked as well as it was supposed to and not for as long as it was supposed to, but it is still a real thing.
You'd have to ask yourself: once a country becomes so deranged that it's willing to nuke non-aggressive neighbors to remove a "threat", is it really safe to just back down and potentially show weakness to that nation? What if they decide that further strategic aims can be accomplished with additional nuclear strikes?

I'm not saying I know the answer. But this is what strategists on the US/NATO side would be thinking about, and Russia sure knows they would be thinking about it. It would be madness to gamble on this strategy working out in the long run.
Looks cool, but what would be a practical use for this?
Which articles conclude that wearing a mask does not protect the wearer?

I'm not sure about public messaging in your locality, but where I am, the messages have very much been that wearing a mask protects both you and others, with a focus on higher standards (FFP2 or above) and proper fit protecting you better.

I'm quite happy to concede that masks have downsides, but I would highlight that I was responding to a simplistic authoritative statement, rather than making one of my own out of nowhere.
Russia prepared (and accidentally published) a press release for 3 days after the invasion, congratulating themselves on their victory.
Besides the first, all the measures here are relative, so I suppose it is up to the user to calibrate.

Take build cost. Suppose a project would take 2 engineers 4 weeks to build. A large team may call that a "2" but a small team would call it a "8".
I don't have one, but that's really not grounds to believe the first thing anyone tells you.
Not a chance. NATO would control the skies day 1 and that would end any offensive hopes for non-NATO side.
By definition it cannot be theft. Because of sanctions, the Russians wouldn't be allowed to pay for Western software anyways, so there is no difference to the bottom line.

Whereas if they pirate Russian software or software they can buy, there is an impact to the bottom line.

As a result it can be seen as a logically consistent position.
Since the pandemic started I've found myself believing less-and-less in mundane, worldly explanations for things.

My favorite example is the 2016 presidential election. While there are many who would like to believe that Trump won due to Russian interference, I actually believe he won due to meme magic. A bunch of social misfits got together, sharing frog memes, while listening to Shadilay (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shadilay), and memed their candidate into office.

I just think that objective, material reality is less objective and less material than I thought all along.
I had not seen this before. Thank you for helping to improve my accuracy of the events.
Wow. I think you're being very kind.

I'm having a hard time seeing how any ideology opposed to the freebies and pork barrels gets into power at all? Let alone getting to the point of having "trouble holding power". In our system you're simply forced to give out freebies to your voters. There really is no choice. In fact, there are some freebies that all ideologies would be required to give out to all voters. I'm American, in my system an example of that kind of freebie would be something like social security maybe? or the mortgage credit? However, if you're not from the US, but rather from another democratic nation, I'm sure you could name the freebies that are mandatory in your system too.
This is debatable. One of the problems with slavery is the institution supporting it - the laws against slaves that were enforced by the government. If there wasn’t a government the slaves could simply kill the master and take the land.

While it was the government that ultimately abolished slavery, it was also the government that held it in place until that time.
It is constitutional to enter into treaties that to undermine other parts of the constitution. So the US avoids that. 1856 was a gamble but now it absolutely has the leverage to avoid that.
I see people saying "it's just water that made the rock crack, nothing is goign to happen".

While I understand this point of view, I personnaly think religion, mythology and beliefs such as this one give much more flavor and diversity to the world than what rational thought will ever produce. Religious people made magnificent temples, cathedrals, songs, paintings and so on : what if this way of thought was in fact beneficial for societies, in some aspects?
Russian ruling class is very oldschool and only considers USA equal enemy (though their performance in Ukraine shows any larger NATO army would destroy them alone). So the deterrence is probably better with specifically US troops.
What is your basis for this assertion?
You would see less, but it would still happen. There has to be some release valve other than putting the kid and parents into a corner like trapped rats, where risk for exposure to neglect/child abuse/trauma skyrocket. If you simply say a kid can't be re-adopted out by someone who's had them for X time, you're basically sealing the fate of some kids.
Attackers have no control over the --privileged flag, so what you're basically asking for is a lint that greps for "--privileged" and fails CI if it finds it.

Some things may make this harder, like Kubernetes presumably, but idk it seems relatively straightforward and also not exactly the fault of containers.
There's a concept that I don't quite remember the name of, but basically, if some American troops are stationed somewhere permanently, that means that if you invade that place, you are attacking America. The troops have some value outside this, but they are also a sacrifice to induce a response.
Given the past history of the continent, the best thing about NATO is that European countries decided to just let the US do all the spending and stopped funding their own militaries. And as a consequence haven't invaded each other until recently, a massive change in European practice for at least the previous millennium.
I wonder what Jetbrains or Kaspersky feel about this (as they are prominent software companies that have offices in Russia)...
Um.. wiped out by Russia and what army?
#1 is intentional, for better or for worse. It’s certainly well-intentioned too, although the intentions may be based on wrong assumptions.

#2: upstream makes no general effort to identify security bugs as such. Obviously this one was known to be a security bug, but the general policy (see #1) is to avoid announcing it.

#3: In any embargo situation, if you’re not on the distribution list, you don’t get notified. This is unavoidable. oss-security nominally handles everyone else, but it’s very spotty.

Sometimes I wish there was a Linux kernel security advisory process, but this would need funding or a dedicated volunteer.

I'm not so sure NATO membership matters as much as people think, at present it seems like a convenient excuse to not intervene.

If the US retaliated with a bomb on Russian soil, would the expectation not be full-out nuclear war? Would it be smart for the US to enter that because Russia bombed Latvia?
> ultimately you have to respect the vote to an extent

Disagree here. A 52% majority is no basis for far-reaching, long-term constitutional change (even if the 52% _hadn't_ been systematically lied to, and the change in question _didn't_ represent pure national self-harm).
The year of the Linux desktop is finally upon us! (In Russia.)
The EU was intended to evolve towards being a country. I don't know if that's a good idea, but an EU army is not scope creep. The central goal of the EU was to not have more wars in Europe, so it's well-aligned with the founding goal.

My own opinion is that the EU should handle economic, military, and foreign policy issues. It should have centralized funding for common goods like research and environmental issues, but not to the exclusion of local funding. It should have a minimum bar for local democratic governance, but it shouldn't be very high. It should stay away from social issues, which are best handled locally.

Scope of the EU is a valid area for debate. The above is my opinion. You're welcome to argue your own, but perhaps with logic, rather than as "scope creep."
Don't know why you're being down-voted. Reducing immigration has been a central theme of the UK government's policy. Opening up the borders - or being seen to do so - runs the risk of negative reaction from those strongly in favour of tightening them.

As a garbage bag manufacturer, can you advertise that your garbage bags are for that purpose?
Cool, so we 100% attribute problems to whomever was President at the time? So George W. Bush is entirely to blame for 9/11, and Donald Trump is entirely to blame for Covid-19. Glad we cleared that up.

Or, maybe, prior administrations are at least partly to blame? And maybe you didn't even bother to read the list I gave you, of things Trump allowed Putin to do?

Cheers.

Despite claims from the US military industrial complex looking for more money, China, NK, and Iran can not do much outside their own borders. Russia is doing a poor job and it is much stronger than the other 3. Only the US maintains the ability to invade countries around the world. UK would be #2.

A gaussian blur is a point-wise multiplication in Fourier space. If you know the filter, you can technically reverse it with a point-wise division. Even noise can be controlled for by using optimization techniques to recover the correct divisor. It doesn't at all surprise me that you could train up an ML model to recover the original.
I don't think there's any cause for concern. Zelensky is likely receiving real-time intelligence and advice from NSA, CIA, GCHQ, and much more. If there was any issue with this video, they would have already taken steps to ensure the information is stale and this doesn't happen again.
