Have you tried Alacritty? I've found it's very good at GPU rendering.
Even corporations do this kind of thing, not just state agents. There was an interesting case where Ebay harassed two old couple for running a blog that was critical of Ebay practices. Ebay went so far as to cause long-term psychological damage to the couple by mailing them bloody pig masks, signing them up to naughty magazines and sending them to their neighbors, van stalking them, and all other kinds of crazy stuff you wouldn't believe. Everything was directed by senior leadership at Ebay, and 'encouraged' by the CEO.

Really interesting read, if you guys wanna learn more. But basically anyone with money and power can initiate this kind of harassment activity.
So what do you suggest instead? Express APIs in yet another language (perhaps one with defined-length numeric types) other than the ones people actually use? An IDL? Who's going to do that work, from the definitions themselves to the bazillion language-specific bindings? I'm not saying that you should have to have an answer before you can criticize, but every solution to this particular problem sucks in some way. Some things are just hard. Jumping on a bandwagon to tear down something that already exists, ignoring or trivializing any problems it does solve or that alternatives would need to, is another much-despised Orange Site behavior. Nobody ever turns out to have a real silver bullet in their back pocket.
> I definitely wouldn't want my employees going around and hacking competitors in their free time.

Where do you work? Just so I know where not to apply.
> It's rare that anyone pitches the government as competent outside of military spending

Genuine question - do people see military as competent when it comes to spending?
> I'm having my trouble getting my head around this. That seems to say that a city WOULD benefit from the stadium because people would spend their money in a different city. I'm clearly not understanding it.

No, you're reading it backwards. It said:

>> tourism does NOT see an increase as the result of a sporting event

Which is a bit wrong in using the word "event". Sure, city revenues will increase from a home game -- but that evens out when local fans travel elsewhere to see an away game, and spend money there that they otherwise would have spent at home. OK, it works if you take "event" to mean a set of home + away games between two teams... But anyway, having a team that attracts some away fans and their money will logically give no net revenue increase to any one city, since presumably (and on average across all cities, as a mathematical certainty) all away fans spending money "here" are also local fans somewhere else, not spending that away-game money in their home town.

> For example, I'm thinking of all of the people from Maine and NH that come to Boston to watch the Bruins play hockey. Without the team, they'd most likely not go to Boston, but might go to Manchester NH, or Portland ME instead. That's definitely not zero sum for the city of Boston or state of MA.

A) So Bruins fans only watch home games? OK, maybe they're more travel-averse than fans of other teams in the league... But one would think most cities' fans are about equal in this respect, so on average just as much money is siphoned out of the greater Boston area for away games.

B) See that "greater Boston area" above? That's your "city", for the purposes of this discussion. That the "sports-fandom city" happens to stretch across municipalities and even states in your case is kind of irrelevant; in principle it's no different than rivalry between various districts within a city about where to put the stadium. Wherever you put it, of course the immediately surrounding area gets more of that revenue than areas further away. :: It is zero-sum for "the city of Boston" as defined by Bruins-fandom.
I wonder if such projects should be collaboratively maintained rather than attached to your name? Then anyone who is part of the ROS community and ends up needing them can take on fixing any issues they encounter. As long as the org holding them has a liberal enough membership policy, this should work well.
Extant American ballistic missile defenses don't seem sufficient to repel a committed ICBM/SLBM attack from Russia, or even China. THAAD and Patriot can only protect a relatively small area around each installation, not even remotely enough to protect the whole country in a war like that. GMD can intercept ballistic missiles mid course and has substantial range, but no more than a few dozen interceptors total for the entire country. Aegis is formidable and numerous, but the SM-3 interceptors used by those ships have substantially less range compared to GMD interceptors, and only some of the missiles carried by Aegis ships will be those SM-3s.
This is survivorship bias. I've played pick-up basketball with a ton of dudes whose parents sunk hundreds of hours and thousands of dollars into training and coaching, and they're generally stunningly mediocre.

Tim Duncan, widely regarded as the greatest power forward of all time, held a basketball for the first time as a freshman in highschool when hurricane Hugo destroyed the pool and he had to pick a new sport to play.
UDRP is not meant to say "you're the asshat, so I'm giving it to the one I like"

RedHat have good reasons to want the other chap pushed off the cliff, but thats not what UDRP is for. The asshat has a basis to want their platform, they used it to do what they want, and they have a basis to believe they applied for it, legitemately under terms of use of the name, which met the rules

If you want to pull toys from an asshat, find the right rule in the rulebook to do it. This wasn't the right rule.
Having some experience in software solution related to these platform, I think too many companies are using these AI-powered recruitment platform in a wrong way. It should be a mean to filter out extreme outliers in a high volume staffing scenario, not as a convenient and automate analysis for employers to make hiring decision on.

AI is built on hundreds of thousands of data points, to accurately utilize it you have to depend on people to input the right data, in this case job seekers accurately listing abilities, skills or nuances of their experience within a specific industry. Given the slight idea of where these platform get their data, the AI model should give a yes for an applicant that work well as cog in the machine, which might worked well for most companies, but you might be missing out on the anomaly data/applicant make your startup the next unicorn.

Then again, humans are good at doing human things.
I’m sure the lawyers could figure out how to argue that the MITM attack this person did is some kind of illegal identity fraud.
This will end in criminal charges.

Mark my words.

If it gets to trial the judge won't understand anything and all he'll hear is hacking. Same for jury if one is involved.

Most likely a plea with probation and now he has a criminal record (possibly felony).
North Korea is fascist, but harmlessly so. Despite endless flexing and threat inflation, they haven't actually done much harm since invading the South 70 years ago.

The main problem with fascism in Nazi Germany, Zionist Israel, and Banderite Ukraine is that these fascist states have overt policies of ethnic cleansing.

IOW the "fascism" part isn't necessarily bad (unless you are a liberal chauvinist), it's the ethnic cleansing part that is bad.
I think a lot of hackers start with just seeing what’s going on without any intent to dig deeper. But then something too good to pass up gets them high, and with weakened inhibitions, they make bad decisions that require responsible disclosure (in lieu of saying and doing nothing and possibly getting into more trouble). Of course a responsible disclosure is always prudent, and these companies certainly did not deserve one, but the hacker here got too excited. They didn’t cover their tracks first, necessitating a responsible disclosure.
Yes, I know and agree with the guideline.

True believers rarely retaining their senses of humor was the point I was trying to make. I promise not to make fun of UFOs again.
Not every market is a free market. Also there’s not only one rubles market rate.
Wisdom is knowing stuff. Politics is something else.
your point implies that environment can have no effects and that you can dismiss them out of hand. Is that really true? surely some environments hamper learning? if you'll admit that, you should admit that you actually need to prove that we aren't in such an environment.

i.e. you assume a kind of "conservation of learning" without proof.
> Couldn’t help myself but do one more request changing the ID. Brought another card number and name.

weev. If one doesn't know his story, the one shall do no such web requests. Or at least should know what the Tor is :)

Interesting possibility here - say somebody intentionally left that as a backdoor for a little side hustle of card fraud for themselves and associates or just to sell it and masqueraded it as just sheer security incompetence, and the author just happened to be a convenient patsy of opportunity.
Does it mean they have the full right never pay me ans I can't sue and get my funds? My lawyer is suggesting sueing card brands in federal court for allowing Stripe holding our funds for no reason
“The ODNI specifically stated in the 144 cases of UAP they were not able to identify that exactly none of them were from testing US Special Access Programs technology. This is in the official report”

I’m going to be extremely generous and assume you have actually not read the report you state says exactly none of them were SAPs.

What your source actually says:

“USG or Industry Developmental Programs: Some UAP observations could be attributable to developments and classified programs by U.S. entities. We were unable to confirm, however, that these systems accounted for any of the UAP reports we collected”
Here in Germany there are still a lot of them around. Though any rando WiFi hotspot would propably do the trick

Excuse me?
No chance. I know two people who want to be 30 minutes offset from UTC and they could give zero shits about UTC. As a pilot, I'm attached to UTC and really don't want to deal with any non-zero minutes offset. Everything in aviation is UTC based - you make a position or pilot report, you use UTC. Weather, NOTAMs, flight plans, clearances, all UTC. I'd be irritated as hell to have a 30 minute offset from local. I think most of the (aero)nautical industry would be against it.
Which one gets 2% more?
Sure. Fine.

They’re solving a problem that, in the past, has caused me to be dramatically less productive. I set up Tailscale on all my devices in 20 minutes. It’s like magic.

You can bet that the next time I’m working somewhere and we face a problem Tailscale solves, I’m going to advocate to use it.
> Using anonymisation proxies just makes it all the more suspicious

If you're referring to the author's use of Charles Proxy, it's *not* an anonymizer or anything of the sort, it's just the macOS equivalent of Fiddler: a localhost HTTP/HTTPS proxy that lets you decrypt TLS traffic (provided the client software isn't using certificate-pinning, which it wasn't).

From TFA:

> Wondering how I could feed them to the app, I set up Charles Proxy and pointed my phone to it. I honestly thought this wouldn’t work – who at this time doesn’t have SSL Pinning?

As a curious user of other applications I've done the same thing the the author has described, so this kinda stuff isn't uncommon - except in my case I've never had an opportunity to stumble across anything as bad the author.

As for phone-app' insecure back-end web-services: that's about par for the course thesedays, even for banking and other "secure" services. It's depressing. I have plenty of my own pet-theories as to why things seem worse today than they were 10 years ago, but that's another discussion.
Public libraries are much better for this and easier to find.
This could be interpreted as a commentary on annual subscription models
Also when none of it ever leaves their own computer? It seemed to me like they were poking around for curiosity, not to publish any dirty laundry substantial enough to be a reverse engineering or copyright issue.
Agreed. That part is just mind-bogglingly awful, and fairly unique to C/C++. AFAICT all the other problems are common across most alternatives, many of which are actually worse.
How about some libraries that help with building TUIs?

I'll start with https://github.com/rivo/tview/ and https://github.com/gdamore/tcell
Popular NPM module node-ipc added malware targeting Russian developers
Musk started that school. They go to the school made by their father. I am sure they are getting quite an "aristocratic" education.
Has anyone used this library before? It looks very very nice. Type safe templates would almost be a win on their own, but being able to use the full power of react to customise views and forms without all of the ceremony of buying into the full react ecosystem sounds like a real sweet spot.
You can do it for free at a library.
This is beyond delusional. Absolutely no evidence or case studies to support this.
Either sue or accept their ruling but stop polluting HN this is not 'Stripe customer support'.
It's not a leak to publish your own original research.
> It would awesome if there was a better way to search repos.

Not having that is kinda the whole value proposition of Big Data.

Github gives you free bandwidth and disk space. In return they get to "grep like a boss" running complex queries with no fuzziness; you don't.

Similar story with search engines and their crawler output. And Amazon's product catalog.

None of these let you turn off the fuzziness and run large/frequent/complex queries, even if you're willing to pay for it. Amazon's "good" product search API is ratelimited by how many convertible leads you send them.

I dunno, it's kinda lame, but I guess that's how things work.
Quite frankly it's not even what you wrote.

It's the zero barrier access to porn.
Ah yes, the "kids these days" line of reasoning.

Some other things from the past which were argued to inevitably corrupt the younger generation from the "good old days:"

* Reading silently
* Ballroom Dancing
* Chess

As someone who leveraged playing and thinking about video games and emerging technology into a $300/hr consulting fee and being offered a "create your own role doing whatever you want" at a multi-billion dollar corporation after having been subpoenaed as an expert by the US government, advised cabinet nominees, consulted for about 10% of the Fortune 500s, and had CEOs flying in their oversees franchise management teams to hear me speak -- all before I was 30, I can acknowledge it was very corrupting indeed.

I left that career not just to play video games, but because I realized there's diminishing returns on personal wealth but inversely increased value on personal time as the available supply runs out.

If more kids these days figure that out earlier on, the world will be better off for it, not worse.

Besides, I'm less concerned with the loss of potential in kids these days not becoming wage slaves for maximum productivity and far more regretful at the lost opportunities for our ancestors born without the right anatomy, skin color, or wealth to pursue their own potential.

Even for those that did - given how much more interesting Da Vinci's notebooks were than his portraits - how much more interesting a world would we be living in were he and other geniuses to have not needed to finance their unfettered curiosity and interests with bullshit time wasting catering to the petty interests of the rich?

We only have so many hours in life, and in my experience much of society spends far more time at far less value on things like "stay at your desk until 6pm" than "solve this puzzle in this dungeon."

Video games are the least of the things holding back humanity.
I really hope Patrick joins and helps, I would be very surprised ! We collected application fee from each sale connected accounts made. But due to this, charges are on connected accounts not under platform. And platform that uses Stripe Standard Connect with direct charges is not responsible for refunds/disputes of connected accounts. If they refund all transactions of connected accounts, that doesn't affect our balance as charges are not under us and we are not responsible. You can read about this here: stripe.com/connect/pricing
Install it on all your computers. Now all your computers can talk to each other.
Your IP is still in the access logs. The advice is good and we do this sometimes when not wanting to spend work time to deal with corporate politics around the reporting (though frankly the back-and-forth with the CERT is often a game of its own), but it wouldn't have helped in this case.
I don't think the author blames it on C. C didn't choose to become the ABI of 99% of the world. But yet, it is.

> You have to speak the C ABI to talk to the OS [...] What is your alternative that doesn't involve a common ABI?

Emphasis is on the _C_ ABI. The alternative is something that at least tries to be designed as a universal ABI.

> there are a lot of different kinds of hardware, and sometimes multiple software ecosystems evolved in parallel on the same hardware

If there was an explicit ABI standard though, evolving ecosystems would have to go through the standardization and thus you just couldn't get conflicting ABIs for the same thing.

If such standardization could cut the number of ABIs in half, it'd still be a huge win. And I think it'd be possible to go much further than that. Furthermore, it may be possible to split orthogonal things apart, such that instead of e.g. 50 targets, you have 5 OS targets and 10 arch targets, each specifying a separate part of the ABI. (current ABIs obviously do this to some extent, but not in any specified & structured way)

> As a C fan, it's hard to see the language itself blamed for what are (in my view) just fundamentally difficult problems.

I also like C. I agree these are hard problems. But I don't think they're problems that C should be dealing with. But we're pretty much just stuck with C.

For the record, the evidence of 'widespread' fraud is extremely weak:

See Antoinette Schoar's (MIT) work: https://www.nber.org/papers/w20848

It makes for a good news story that regular Americans understand and frankly want to hear (the banks were bad). But if you really dig into the reports, e.g. Financial Crisis Inquiry Report, almost the only fraud comes from misreporting of income which is essentially consumers lying. There could be other documentation issues, but underwriting almost entirely depends on credit score + income, so they're fairly trivial.
Yeah seriously, people talk about the UK's defamation law being bad, but in Germany you can get in trouble simply for insulting someone or making a rude gesture (Beleidigung).
Columbo will be to TV what Sherlock Holmes is to literature. The last episode just makes the cut for 20 years.
No, do not talk to the police. Anything they need to hear before charging you can be published publicly on the web. Anything they need to hear after charging you will be communicated to them in writing by your defense attorney.

IANAL, but I suspect that it is considered unauthorized as there are many avenues in which a dependency will get updated without a user specifying this exact package and version. I think the key here is that there is clear malicious intent.
I don't think places you can rent machines are common (except libraries as noted but these may require ID) but the steps "buy machine with cash, take machine to anonymous cafe outside your area and get wifi password, upload info" still seem reasonably secure. You can throw the machine off a bridge later if you're paranoid - and work hard at sanitizing your info while you're at it.
Your “obvious truth” displays the standard ignorance around this topic. If you were intellectually curious and not pre-judging based on an emotional response you might find yourself digging in and learning the science and lived experiences of trans folks. Alas.

This very issue came up in 2014 in relation to a selfie taken by a monkey that became popular on the internet: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Monkey_selfie_copyright_disp...

The US copyright office wrote:

"Only works created by a human can be copyrighted under United States law, which excludes photographs and artwork created by animals or by machines without human intervention" and that "Because copyright law is limited to 'original intellectual conceptions of the author,' the [copyright] office will refuse to register a claim if it determines that a human being did not create the work. The Office will not register works produced by nature, animals, or plants."
Not that environment has no effect, just that our current environment still produces you geniuses.

It’s quite likely that a different background would have pushed him into studying something else. But, shuffling who is remembered for what isn’t inherently a good or bad thing.
