The US is large enough to have had its government break promises like this time and again. That’s why you’ll see a lot of people on here that will object to a design requiring you to trust the owners of your infrastructure.

Signal is the chief example of this kind of design. All they can provide a government is the creation date of someone’s account, and the last time they tried to check for messages. Neither message content nor metadata (who sent messages to whom) is accessible, assuming the app follows the design and the design doesn’t have defects.
True, but then you're basically back to having passwords. Weak ones even (assuming a 4 digit pin).

Again, FIDO isn't terrible in all cases, but there is certainly a push to get people to use it for things that should be more secure. I think they're hoping that with enough convenience we'll all just go along with it and start handing over so much more of our personal data and give all these companies so much more power over our lives. Maybe they're right too and we will, but I think our security will be worse off for it. We should be thinking about what specific applications FIDO is useful for and where it's best avoided, as well as exactly what we're getting in exchange for all that we'd be giving away.

Maybe those things can happen. But it's a race against time and we don't seem to be making progress on those fronts as much as we may need to.

Not always. My recently deceased Thinkpad 13 chromebook with an Intel 3855U held up despite lacking support for multithreading. My HP Mini 311 with an N270 played HL2 and CS pretty well for a single core processor (yes, the Nvidia ION helped).

I love RSS, I've built News aggregators which consumed RSS feeds in the past i.e. before Social Media took over as News aggregators and News outlets stopped caring about their RSS feeds(Not sticking to standards, garbage feeds etc.).

I'd like to get into News aggregation with RSS again now that I think there are some significant population who think Social Media may not be the best way to consume news. So I made a cursory exploration of the status of RSS feed support for major news outlets.

To my surprise, Many do still support RSS incl. those with paywalls. It's surprising because AFAIK Google doesn't mandate RSS to index their news, Apps like Feedly which started out as pure RSS aggregator went onto HTML parsing of major news websites by the time I abandoned my RSS feed aggregation apps.

Are the news outlets still supporting RSS because?

1. Legacy systems which depend upon RSS.

2. There have been a rise in demand for RSS feeds.

3. It's the right thing to do, for journalism.

4. None of the above.
Same here, but I required VISA sponsorship (or Canada's equivalent) and received the "had roles filled" before the first interview. I thought that they had prioritized people that didn't need sponsorship.

The strange thing is that now they followed up with another offer to join their Rotational SWE Programme. By that time I had already heard about the hiring freeze and figured the recruiters are trying to circumvent the freeze. We'll see how that goes...

This, pretty much. Whenever a new trend comes up, be it Bitcoin or index investing (both of which are poles apart in terms of risk), passionate people will defend them passionately. Good on you all.

I’m not sure I understand the question. Are you asking if 2 sites can link the same user/hardware device? The answer is mostly no.

FIDO essentially replaces a password (shared secret between client and server) with public key cryptography. The key pair used depends on the site, so 2 distinct sites will see 2 different public keys even if you use the same hardware device. So the 2 sites won’t know, from the public key, that they’re talking to the same user.

Clearly if you use the same username/email, 2 sites can link you. That’s the same with passwords and FIDO.
Echoing a similar concern over Talk pages.

Often enough, particularly in "controversial" topics, the information I want is in the Talk pages rather than the heavily guarded article.

This worked great in the past. More recently I discovered some sort of policy must have changed, which allows Talk pages to be archived/deleted, effectively destroying any evidence of a controversy.
Here's an example: https://deletionpedia.org/en/VList

Ten years ago pjscott mentioned "Phil Bagwell's VList" here:
https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=4657628 and linked to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VList which (of course) is deleted. The deletion talk page https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Articles_for_deletio... they're talking about how it's not notable enough, but the end result is that Wikipedia is (in my opinion) less comprehensive for the omission.

FWIW, this seems to be a copy of the wikipedia page: http://taggedwiki.zubiaga.org/new_content/f480db09ebb27d442b... and there are some implementations on Rosettacode: https://rosettacode.org/wiki/VList

I use raw rm. I just double check what the name of the file is before pressing enter. I've deleted something I shouldn't have maybe once or twice in the past ten years.

When I'm about to delete something with wildcard expansion, I'll first `ls` the wildcard expansion and glance over the results to make sure I'm not deleting anything I don't want to delete.
I've always looked at paywall sites as obnoxious cash grabs that try to reel you in with small samples of quality content... But this makes me look at them differently now. Perhaps the fact that you gave them money allows them to forego excessive advertising and clickbait and provide you with quality content that is actually worth reading because they can focus on creating good content rather than pulling people in with free clickbait and just do anything possible to keep us scrolling and watching ads. The unfortunate part is that it doesn't really make sense to pay money to subscribe to every single website individually... Maybe if google had a quality version of google news... lol

I find myself either going old-school with xpdf (which continues to have some very sane defaults, if an aged UI), and Zathura, which is a similarly multi-format reader, but highly optimised for keyboard navigation.

https://pwmt.org/projects/zathura/

The world of readers seems to be stuck in a rather uncomfortable local optimum, with applications which strive to be only readers (e.g., Adobe Acropat, xpdf), some of those single-format, some multi, and those which are either in themselves or within a larger ecosystem part of a document / library management system. None seems to have emerged as either dominant or satisfactory.

I'm including e-book reader hardware and software in this classification. Arguably "web browsers" as well, which seem to be hell-bent on becoming surveillance / application-delivery / commerce platforms, rather than being document-oriented.
An analogue project for the German Wikipedia is Marjorie Wiki (https://marjorie-wiki.de/wiki/MARJORIE-WIKI). Do similar projects exist for other languages?
If interest rates continue to increase, the market is in for a very rough time.

COST is about 40 PE right now which implies 2.5% trailing yield. You can get 3.1% on a 10y treasury risk free right now.

Of course equities have growth potential, but also risk, typically the spread between risk free rate and equity yields is much higher.

Plenty of 30-40 PE companies at index level with close to 0 growth. Companies like NET still at 30x sales.

If inflation persists and the 10y runs to even 3.5-4%, could be looking at close to 50% downside. However there are signs that the consumer is likely to collapse within the next 6 months, which should lead to disinflation, but also likely an earnings recession

Most of the stuff is "officially leaked* to some places before the new releases anyway

When was the last time people were surprised by what they saw? I think it was on the iphone unveiling.
What power? You as an individual employee have absolutely no power to change Apple's behavior. Case in point the director of this story quitting because they couldn't convince Apple to change.

As the other comment mentioned the biggest individual power you have is quitting and a union doesn't prevent that.
There is technical debt associated with operating at a high level of secrecy.
I used to work in a place that did classified work for the three-letter agencies. The teams working on the most classified projects tended to stagnate. They had advanced technology in narrow areas, but had fallen behind commercial technology across the board. They were still building minicomputer-based systems a decade later than they should have been. And they'd get stuck in dead-end niche technologies.

As a rule of thumb for bidding purposes, we assumed that classifying a project doubled the cost.
I would recommend you to read the Richest Man In Babylon. It is a small book that explains how one can go about building wealth. Briefly,

1) Save some money regularly (min 10%).
2) If 1) seems difficult, figure out a way to increase your earnings or reduce your expenses till you can do 1).
3) Invest the surplus wisely. Trust it to people who are trustworthy and seem to know their stuff.

Overtime, you will have enough passive income.
Hmm… I don’t exactly see how but maybe I should specify.

I very much keep up on the development of the game, & I think it’s going great. I think we have another 3-4 years to go before what I’d imagined when I first heard of the game (a few weeks after it’s public announcement) is possible. Server issues are likely to be a bulk of what needs ironed out.

Unfortunately, as for me not personally touching the game - severe physical illness that makes it very hard to be at a computer. I would definitely be playing every major release if I could comfortably do so.

If that still makes your comment correct - in what I’m saying makes the GP seem more valid - I guess I have a misunderstanding.

If SC ends up being a complete flop - it will be unfortunate, but I truly believe a great amount of tech will come out of the disbanding teams. If you think all of their hundreds to thousands of something employees are all in on a grand conman scheme & they’re doing literally nothing but sinking their collective reputations - I’ve got some… lemme see… maybe horse dewormer to sell you, perhaps other things…

The cherry on top for me is the longer it takes to ship (heh) the more likely it is I’ll actually be able to comfortably play the game I’ve dreamt about for some time, definitely before SC was ever announced. Some of my friends who’ve backed are literally going to have become doctors or with kids approaching middle school before 1.0 :)

Yes, that is it essentially. You are looking at businesses which have cash flow and the other criteria mentioned above.

I agree, but the new MacBooks have had a fair bit of excitement around them. So maybe you just have to make several duds first?
The fact that something is short does not mean it's "simple". Simple is something that's easy to understand.

And while it's pretty clear that one could explain this in simpler terms, it's never going to be "simple" because it relies on a side effect and direction of (what may seem to be) the core logic (in iteration i, put the largest number at A[i]).

So no, this ain't the "simplest sorting algorithm".
A big problem with Tauri is that it doesn't use the same browser everywhere. You should maintain support different browsers, with different version on different platform. With Electron it's a just fixed version of Chrome.
But then, a book won't fix your muscle memory.

I'm also one of the many people suffering for the loss of the old tools. Maybe we should create a support group?

Anyway, I would keep them installed, but the new ones interfaces just make a lot more sense, so even though it's hard to write the correct command (they could be better documented), it is much easier to decide if a command is correct or not after it's written.
To describe security benefits, we use threat modeling. If there's a threat that's prevented by system A but not by system B, and all threats prevented by B are covered by A, then A is colloquially "more secure" than B.

Here are some threats that are prevented by FIDO and not by TOTP:

- An attacker compromises DNS infrastructure and makes a web page that looks 100% identical to the one you're expecting, hosted on the same URL. They wait for you to log in and use the TOTP you send to authenticate to the real site's servers as you. FIDO prevents this threat (phishing via MITM) entirely, TOTP provides little protection. KeepassXC if you don't use your clipboard to paste TOTPs provides limited protection but the matching is DNS-based, not cryptographic like FIDO is.

- A hacker compromises your computer while it's on and keepassxc is unlocked. With keepassxc TOTPs, they now have your TOTP secret and can impersonate you at any point in the future. With FIDO on a separate non-key-extractable token, they haven't gained anything. Sites can verify that the FIDO authenticator you're using disallows key extraction as part of the protocol, and can even blacklist known-compromised second factors without your intervention.

- A hacker is able to guess exactly 1,000,000 passwords in one minute. They have stolen your password but don't have your TOTP secret. They guess the TOTP using their ability within 999,999 attempts, since that's all TOTP with its default six-digit generator provides. With FIDO, the secret is 128 bits, and they'd be guessing for thousands of years.

I'm not saying FIDO/U2F is "better" than TOTP. They're just different. But you, as a security-conscious user, do get concrete advantages (in the form of protection against particular threats) using a FIDO credential over using TOTP.

Additionally, FIDO doesn't requiring storing a secret key per site; TOTP does.
At this inflation rate saving money makes no sense.
You need a bigger gun than infantry carry, but (as the article discusses) that doesn't necessarily mean a tank.
> Any compassion the state shows is a lie to cover for discretionary enforcement, which is a pernicious type of corruption

You actually think there is no discretionary enforcement of the law in Singapore? Like every other jurisdiction on earth, Singapore has prosecutorial discretion. [0] A handful of jurisdictions, such as Germany, traditionally reject prosecutorial jurisdiction in theory, but that theory belies the fact that even in Germany it has always been inescapable in practice–no prosecutor on this earth has the resources to prosecute every known crime in their jurisdiction, they always have to pick and choose which cases to prosecute and how much effort and resources to put into each prosecution, and there is always going to be an element of subjective judgement in that decision, which will inevitably be coloured by the prosecutors' beliefs/culture/politics/attitudes/biases.

And, is prosecutorial discretion in Singapore applied in a purely impartial and non-discriminatory way? Considering Singapore's lengthy and ongoing history of politically motivated prosecutions (see for example [1]), it is rather obvious that it isn't.

Most jurisdictions accept that factors like intellectual disability need to be taken into account as mitigating circumstances, frequently leading to more lenient punishment, and sentencing which focuses more on protection and rehabilitation than less on retribution and deterrence, compared to an offender with normal (or above-normal) intellectual capacity. The idea that intellectually disabled people ought to be treated with particular leniency is one supported by the United Nations, and even by the US Supreme Court (which held, in the 2002 case of Atkins v. Virginia, that executing the intellectually disabled is unconstitutional)–so extending them that leniency is hardly a "lie to cover for discretionary enforcement", nor a "pernicious type of corruption"

More or less. Of course, I am advocating to leave out any company where it does not fit this criteria: " are generating a lot of cash and a lot of profits, have a moat/USP/technology advantage, and are at the forefront of where the world is headed in terms of trends, or at least are following a sustainable trend".
Stackless Python has also been a problem for EVE. Due to the cooperative multitasking of stackless tasklets the main loop of EVE can't leverage SMP. They've coped with this mainly in three ways. One is offloading as much as possible (network communication, for example) onto other threads. Another is "time dilation" where each 'tick' of the main loop is given more real time to process. This means the game runs slower, sometimes to an absurd degree in large engagements. Finally, there are hard limits on the number of players that can be present in a "system." The limits vary depending on what hardware a given system runs. On occasion these limits are too low for the number of players that might otherwise participate, which makes it a tactical matter that players actively exploit.

Seems like an unfortunate choice in a world where compute cores proliferate but clock rates increase only incrementally.

The original designers made this choice because they believed it reduced developer burden; they could deliver the game faster because the programming model is simplified.

I have been haunted by dreams of implementing a game engine to 'solve' EVE for about 15 years now. One imagines perhaps golang and it's goroutines efficiently distributing tens of thousands of players and other entities across a 64 core CPU... Or perhaps something akin to io_uring written in asynchronous Rust. I can't count the number of times I've diagrammed the memory structures and algorithms.

Amdahl's law is the ceiling of what is possible, but just approaching it would deliver staggering possibilities.
Do you really think that the subject of a Wikipedia article should decide whether they are notable or not? Seems a bit hypocritical given your deletionist stance.
For those playing at home, you need at least base 4096 to equal the data density of base64, because utf8 uses two bytes for anything over 7 bits. It is only because of a somewhat arbitrary Twitter rule that this works. On Twitter.
I agree there are implementations that would be more secure, but they'd still require a password (even a weak version of one via 4 digit pin) and at that point we might as well just unlock our phones and click on the icon for a password manager.

The dream of a life without passwords sounds great, but I don't think FIDO can get us there and if it can't, we have to think about whether or not the extra convenience we can get from FIDO is worth what it would cost us in terms of all the data and control we'd be handing over to 3rd parties.
