According to WhatsApp’s filing, NSO gained “unauthorised access” to its servers by reverse-engineering the messaging app and then evading the company’s security features that prevent manipulation of the company’s call features. One WhatsApp engineer who investigated the hacks said in a sworn statement submitted to the court that in 720 instances, the IP address of a remote server was included in the malicious code used in the attacks. The remote server, the engineer said, was based in Los Angeles and owned by a company whose data centre was used by NSO.

NSO has said in legal filings that it has no insight into how government clients use its hacking tools, and therefore does not know who governments are targeting.

But one expert, John Scott-Railton of Citizen Lab, who has worked with WhatsApp on the case, said NSO’s control of the servers involved in the hack suggests the company would have had logs, including IP addresses, identifying the users who were being targeted.

“Whether or not NSO looks at those logs, who knows? But the fact that it could be done is contrary to what they say,” Scott-Railton said.

In a statement to the Guardian, NSO stood by its earlier remarks. “Our products are used to stop terrorism, curb violent crime, and save lives. NSO Group does not operate the Pegasus software for its clients,” the company said. “Our past statements about our business, and the extent of our interaction with our government intelligence and law enforcement agency customers, are accurate.”

> The resulting tsunami had run-up heights of around 10–20 m on the Norwegian coast, over 12 m in Shetland, 3–6 m on the Scottish mainland coast. ...

> We compare results from our multiscale model to previous results using constant-resolution models and show that accounting for changes in bathymetry since 8.15 ka, neglected in previous numerical studies of the Storegga slide-tsunami, improves the agreement between the model and inferred run-up heights in specific locations, especially in the Shetlands, where maximum run-up height increased from 8 m (modern bathymetry) to 13 m (palaeobathymetry).

The Time Team episode (mentioned elsewhere here) says the wave at Doggerland was up to 10 meters. https://youtu.be/XTvOcm5dgDI?t=1835 .

The most recent publication I found on the topic is https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/feart.2021.7674... :

> The Storegga tsunami has previously been theorized as having brought about a swift and catastrophic end to Doggerland, the submerged palaeolandscape of the southern North Sea (Weninger et al., 2008). However, a more nuanced understanding is beginning to emerge in the wake of numerical modelling of the wave’s dispersal (Hill et al., 2014; Hill et al., 2017), and the discovery of the first confirmed evidence of the tsunami from a submarine context, “core ELF001A” from the “Southern River” submerged river valley, recovered by the Europe’s Lost Frontiers team (Gaffney et al., 2020). Clearly the Storegga tsunami hit some of the coastlines of the southern North Sea with considerable force, but the severity of this impact was probably variable (Walker et al., 2020).

It cites "run-up heights in excess of 25 m recorded in parts of Scotland and Norway".

That's what I did.

The first time I tried becoming vegetarian I failed. I often had no reasonable options in restaurants nor social events. Also I live in a country where meat is cheap and barbecues are a key social activity.

Nowadays I still eat meat 0-2 times per week when my choices are limited, but that's much better than eating 14 times per week.
"tmate is useful as it goes through NATs and tolerate host IP changes. Accessing a terminal session is transparent to clients as they go through the tmate.io servers, acting as a proxy. No authentication setup is required, like setting up ssh keys."

Your assertion that he doesn't have 40 billion to spare seems unfounded.

Let's look at some actual maths.

His net worth has soared in the last 2 years. Forbes (1) has a historical chart with his 2020 NW at 20 Billion, and current at 269 Billion. Is there any indication that his borrowings against his shares has increased in ratio with their appreciation. I can't find info on that but the forbes articles notes the borrowings were subtracted from that NW.

As to what his borrowings were, there's a few articles I found that he had .5 Billion of personal loans in 2020. Since then he sold a lot/all of his houses. His NW also increase by 500 times that amount. Just can't credit your assertion that he couldn't borrow $40 Billion at the drop of a hat with some of his increased 250B share value as collateral.

Pull in a lot of transitive dependencies, without a system in place that automatically and strictly vendors or pins the versions of everything, and the probably of your build succeeding will converge to zero over time. Humans screw up semver all the time even when they're aware of hyrum's law and are doing their very best not to break user code.

I would say this starts becoming an issue when you're around 20-30 devs maintaining software that's a few years old.

All that's just for rebuilding when their are no changes to your code... pulling in security updates is a whole additional mess if your software is exposed to adversaries.

This isn't what the radeon driver does for AMD gpu's, and hasn't for years: loading the driver automatically enables the full rendering engine and disables the VESA modes, even if no firmware has been loaded. Which means that on a normal system with radeon.ko present but not the firmware files, you get a few seconds of kernel output followed by a black screen. For the systems where I don't want the firmware (servers), I must be very careful to blacklist the radeon driver or I completely lose the local console.

This has been the case since the SI chipsets in 2012. I'm not sure if the fault lies fully with the driver, maybe the hardware doesn't allow querying the state of the engine firmware before enabling the engine.

I've noticed that the offline experience on Spotify is utterly broken and has been for a while. I remember it being quite good when I first started using it, but it just seems to have got worse to the point of being unusable. I figured it was maybe just Android but my kids who are iPhone users said the same.
We live in a rural area and use Spotify on the move a lot (on buses, car journeys, bike rides) and are often without signal so offline is essential. Maybe Spotify devs assume everyone has good 5G/Wifi and never actually test it out?
Whatever the reason, having the option to make my own offline library to work around deficiencies in the service I'm paying £16.99 a month for seems like fair use to me (yeah, I know UK law has no such concept but I can sell the idea to myself at least).
I might even dig out my old MP3 player as mentioned in other comments.

My experience doesn't agree with what you posited. I know more people who add water and/or ice to their whisky here than don't.

Some years ago I spoke with the master brewer of the Glenfiddich distillery in an event in London.

Knowing that there was some controversy around adding ice and/or water to whisky (there are all sorts of arguments around that - I even heard one stating that the ice breaks down the whisky molecules, which made me laugh a little) I asked him about it. Who better to ask after all?

He smiled and said that it's perfectly fine to add ice, that he does it all the time, and of course it doesn't do anything harmful to the whisky.

Same goes with water. "In fact," he said, "adding water is a good thing as it brings out the flavour. I do it every time."

Drinking whisky straight anaesthetises your tongue/tastebuds/mouth, you'll not taste the flavour. I've had superior whisky drinking experiences with adding water and/or ice.

I think framing a life as a "game", which implies that there is a specific goal upon which one can either "win" or "lose" is the core of your disagreement with that particular way of thinking. Some people see things as more of an open-ended, "freestyle" exercise, rather than a win-or-lose plan

Our experience of waking reality is extremely well fit to the universe and generalises very well, however much you want to argue it isn’t in and of itself ‘real’.

Dreams may reuse many of the same underlying cognitive mechanisms but there is very little to learn about the outside world from the memory and logic of dreams, and implying the two experiences are somehow equal isn’t very useful or interesting.
But there's one giant flaw on MacBook touchpads. After hearing everyone drool over them and finally getting to try one ( newly issued corporate laptop), I'm shocked that you can't independently control the scroll direction of the touchpad and mouse scroll button. There's an option in both submenus ( touchpad and mouse), but they change the same setting, resulting in a really unintuitive (for me) setup. Where's Apple's attention to detail here? Why do you have two different toggles in two different menus change each other? Why are you forced the same way on two completely different devices with different UX?
In pretty sure Inkscape will preaerve these.

Inkscape is very much an "SVG editor" and largely preserves what you have. I think most if these other tools are general design tools with SVG output which means that you don't expect much correlation to the input.

Great tool. Although it does not have a fine enough resolution to cover shadows from fences and trees, I will use it when looking a properties.

> I would love someone to do a cost-benefit analysis of these sorts of tools against the time of using (and sometimes debugging) Make and/or Bash.

Nix does essentially the same job as Make. The differences are:

- Make embeds a shell code interpreter, whilst Nix just execs a binary; given its path, a list of args and a set of env vars. (Note that almost all Nix definitions use bash as their binary!)

- Make does meta-programming with a mixture of "automatic variables" ('$<', '$^', etc.), 'eval', macros, etc. whilst Nix uses a programming language.

- Make relies on timestamps to figure out whether to re-use existing outputs; Nix relies on the hash of the definition (this works recursively, since hashes are included in filenames; hence changing a reference will alter all the hashes up the dependency tree).

- Make runs commands in the directory where 'make' was invoked, Nix runs commands in a temp folder (and optionally restricts network and filesystem access)

- Make runs commands with the same environment it was invoked with, Nix specifies the environment of commands in the build definition

Nix also has a killer feature that Make can't do, called "import from derivation". This lets us define a build process, like 'fetch this git repo', then import and use Nix definitions from its result. In comparison, Makefiles can't (reliably) fetch and import each other; e.g. my C project's Makefile can't fetch the GCC source tarball, and depend on its Makefile's "install" rule to provide a compiler.

My hypothesis is that this deficiency of Make is the reason for a whole bunch of unneeded complexity in the software world (e.g. "package managers", "OS distributions", "configuration managers", etc.)

From a practical point of view, Nix is almost always used as a wrapper on top of something else (Make/Ant/Maven/Cabal/etc.); but that's just because most projects benefit from those "ecosystems". Note that we could just as well wrap such Ant/Maven/Cabal/etc. projects in a layer of Make instead of Nix, but nobody does since it wouldn't give us any benefit ;)

If you're happy to ignore those "ecosystems" and just have a simple "bash + Make" project, you could instead have a simple "bash + Nix" project and avoid all the layers of Make/Ant/Maven/Cabal/etc. (as well as any Docker, Ansible, Apt/RPM, etc. that others might also decide to layer on top!)

What made the Lie exponential click for me is the definition of exp as a limit: exp(x) = (I + x / n)^n when n goes to infinity.

A tangent vector x at the identity is split in n chunks, each chunk is added to the identity to get a matrix (I + x / n). Each of these matrices gets increasingly closer to the group as n increases, and these n matrices are composed together to approximate exp(x), in a similar fashion to forward Euler integration with n iterations and integration step 1/n.

The actual formula ends up being the usual power series and is useful for computations, but I find the limit above really captures the essence of how the exponential works.
