"How the hell is the OS meant to know whether this thread is going to turn out to be a rendering operation or a logging thread?"

Because this problem is incredibly well solved (I believe?).

Scheduling priorities in operating systems an enormously well explored topic.

Put simply: you must incorporate heterogenous cores into the OS thread scheduler.

There's three actors here:

Hardware developers.

OS developers.

End user software engineers.

The hardware developers are running into physical constraints.

The fix is to shift the prioritisation between the different core types, big little, to the operating system scheduler.

> This new Living Worlds app is a modern recreation of a set of dynamic pixel art scenes first published in the early 90s as part of an "illustrated personal organizer" named Seize the Day, and seen as screenshots across the Internet since then. These scenes were created by Mark Ferrari, legendary artist from such classic games as Loom and The Secret of Monkey Island as well as the recent Thimbleweed Park. Now, 25 years later, Ian Gilman, the original software developer, has resurrected the Living Worlds, with Mark's support and additional code from Joseph Huckaby. There may be copycats, but this is the only authentic version from the original creators!

Wow! When I first saw this site a few years ago, I immediately thought the people involved have to be pixel art geniuses, but I didn't imagine it went this far back or had such an impressive pedigree. Legendary indeed...
Yeah, but TFA then shows a graph of 1-fewer-than-mother.

Perfect answer.

We're working on a solution to gives you an experience like Heroku on AWS without breaking the bank, and I'm pretty sure we won't be the only one working on such a solution.

Flexibility of cloud and simplicity and convenience of services like what we're building will boost the speed massively, plus you'll never be concerned about outgrowing the solution as everything is built on top of AWS.
Find a company with >500 employees that has a principal engineer track. You’re probably joining companies that are too small and have no need for a super senior IC. You will have to deal with more politics though.

If you don’t like that, you can still resist and ask for “Senior” level responsibility but people will slowly lose respect for you as you get older. That’s how humans work: we want the older people to lead us with their experience.
Haha yeah. If it's a one-off zoom call, I'll use the background blur feature to avoid explaining anything. If it's someone I talk to regularly, it's whatever, it doesn't look _too_ weird.

I've had the suspicion that an attack like this has already been used in the past on a few Twitch/YouTube streamers.

They possess a large corpus of training data (heck, some of them play typeracer on-screen.), and would no doubt have a few with quite audible mechanical keyboards near decent recording setups.

Then again, good security hygiene still mitigates this. (Avoiding password re-use, using 2FA where available etc.)

You wouldn't be emitting the sounds of typing your password while using a password manager either... (Well, except for the unlock password. Also there's something to be said about clipboard implementation across different operating systems.)
Thank you for your thoughtful and thought-provoking post.

I can only speculate at the absence of methadone as a replacement for codeine pain meds. Two things come to mind.

One is the known respiratory depression hazard presented by methadone. This is complicated by the fact that methadone's clearance rate varies by more than an order of magnitude among individuals. In clinical practice, this means that the effective analgesic methadone dose must be established slowly. This isn't a problem in controlled clinical settings with patients who comply with treatment regimens. It's another story entirely in patients who are immersed in street drug polypharmacy situations. So there may be an element of caution, well-placed or not, that biases against use of methadone in place of other opiates.

The second is what you touched on - methadone (and all opiates, really) is a complex and emotionally-laden subject. Methadone has a poor reputation from its use in detoxing opiate addicts. Mentioning that you're being treated with methadone nearly never elicits even a neutral response. I think methadone's negative reputation is a serious impediment to its use in situations where it would otherwise be the logical choice.

I don't know about addictive properties of methadone. I know that my family member, who has been treated with methadone for chronic refractory migraine for ~17 years, doesn't show withdrawal symptoms when she misses her meds. Her headaches return, but there's none of the sweating, feverish shivers that characterize withdrawal from other opioids. She doesn't experience psychotropic effects, positive or negative. The principal side effect is constipation. In at least this anecdatum, there's no evidence of addiction even after a very long term of use.

I agree there's a shortage of rational thought and a great excess of emotion around opioids. I wish the emotional charge could be more directed to Purdue Pharma, the Sacklers, and the like, who have not only killed people in multitudes, but who also have compromised progress in getting effective and safe pain relief to the very many who would benefit. Sometimes, one can only live in hope of better times.

Thanks again.

This is exactly the kind of methodology the attack in the article uses though. BLE peripheral devices are usually allowed to miss connection events to preserve battery life, and to increase the reliability of the connection in noisy environments. The attack exploits the ambiguity between "the transmission was intercepted and relayed with an additional 8ms" and "the phone/keyfob skipped a connection event". Allowing no missed connection events would probably make the system frustratingly unreliable as you'd constantly be re-connecting and re-authenticating with the phone/keyfob.
in that case, I would want another additional path for judicial review without waiting for someone to be hurt. I wonder how other countries do this efficiently (without reviewing the same law a bunch of times from all angles)
Fastmail really is a grest alternative.
The world was already producing less food this year even before the Ukraine/Russia war, which takes a ton of wheat-producing land out of service and has also greatly reduced the availability of chemical fertilizer, which will greatly reduce yields everywhere (including in the U.S., where there is a massive fertilizer shortage going on right now).

There's also a massive energy shortage, partially due to the Ukraine/Russia war (again, it was going to be a little bit bad and then the war made it tragic), which makes every part of the food supply chain tighter as well.
If you listen to Ben Thompson’s Stratechery podcast (paid), you will get a first hand account about what a zero tolerance looks like. He is an American who lives in Taiwan and caught Covid in the US. They forced him into what was basically really strict student housing with three meals delivered a day. The US is too big for that to ever work in the US and no one would put up with it.

It’s not the masks that are keeping cases low. It’s very strict lockdown that you could never do with 300 million people and porous borders.

The Covid pandemic has been one of the unvaccinated for over a year. Why should we enforce a policy for people who have voluntarily put themselves at higher risk?
There's a not insignificant number of people who think they have lupus who, in reality, most likely do not, to the point where lupus has become something of a meme.

It's characteristic of autoimmune disorders to be absolute pains to diagnose correctly as well as they often share symptoms with other disorders and entirely unrelated conditions (e.g. if you keep getting rashes that could be any number of autoimmune disorders or none at all, and more likely to be some environmental allergy than lupus).

> El Salvador is a failed state about to default on its national debt. It's not a real "government" in the way that most of us would define the term.

At least for now, El Salvador has enough cash on hand to pay the $800 million bond payable in February 2023. Current cash foreign reserves are about $3000 million.

I'd like to clarify though, that I'm not an economist, and that the processes required and implications of using those funds to pay the upcoming bonds due are outside my scope of knowledge.
Yeah, the earlier versions of SandBoxie used SSDT hooks and offered much better protection. You can completely bypass some SandBoxie protections today with a direct interrupt 0x2e or SYSENTER call. SandBoxie offers very little protection.
For people advocating use of C++ instead of C, keep in mind there are several platforms (mostly embedded) that only support C and not C++. Also there are many projects that make use of C only. If C++ is available, I agree one should use it, however that is not always the choice.

For context take a look at the more tech oriented threads where people making 6 digits USD are whining about having to go to the office or similar. Then compare to the threads about how bad "things" are. Then compare to the threads about how billionaires need to do their part. Seek the disconnects. Then recognize that it has always been this way.
Also, I've noticed that the list of products reviewed is limited to only those that _have_ Amazon affiliate links. If a product is only available on not-Amazon stores, they don't even get mentioned. Which is a bias in itself.

Thing with UFO is that there is very little data to research. Plus how does anyone collect sich data?
In the Sun-3 (Motorola 68K) and early Sun-4 (SPARC) workstations, you got just the monochrome logo. It was nice and tasteful, fitting well alongside a large black-on-white serif console font.

Then the first time you saw an early Sun-4 with CG6 graphics boot, with the full-color 3D image, on that black-on-white console display, it seemed a little out of place, but cool.

The Linux boot logo of the Tux penguin might've been a homage of how Sun did their logo. (And when Linux got symmetric multiprocessing support, a Tux for each CPU/core, IIRC.)

The saddest Unix workstation boot logo was when the nice big elegant Apollo logo shrank, to reflect the company being acquired, and we lost a very noteworthy platform. http://www.planetmulti.de/v2/index.html?http://www.planetmul...

Anecdotes from a nobody in Florida...

One afternoon (daylight) around the late 90s or early 2000's I was resting on the tailgate of a pickup truck, gazing at the daytime sky. I noticed what seemed a star or perhaps planet near the zenith. Intrigued, I fixated on it until I noticed two other very similar 'objects'. The formation was three points in an L-shape, with the L expanded from 90 to approximately 120 degrees. At this point I was fascinated and continued watching them for 10 minutes or so. I viewed them through a cheap pair of 8x binoculars which made no visible difference. I also watched commercial aircraft in their regular flightpath pass seemingly well beneath the 'objects'. They remained apparently stationary until I called a friend who lived within 2-3 miles, unfortunately for that particular incident, under a large canopy of live-oaks. He was unable to spot them, but quite strangely, the moment he asked if they were moving and before I replied, they began moving south. I told him they were moving and quickly ended the call. They continued south in similar formation until pausing and essentially spiraling into an equilateral triangle, then into a single point. They then re-expanded back into their original formation and began drifting east. This occurred over a period of 20-30 minutes. I phoned in to what was then a small private airport and asked to be transferred to the radar/control tower and was. I awkwardly asked if anything unusual had been observed on radar and was told in a very cordial manner that nothing had been. I doubt such efforts would have the same result these days, but I did spend significant time there as a youth.

I've remained uncertain of their nature or purpose since, but haven't stopped wondering. I've had several similar sightings since, with witnesses, but only of single 'objects'. All witnesses were of sound mind and one was an employee of the establishment where I spotted the object from. Two of the sightings were at cafes, both having suspiciously good java.

I'm not a believer nor am I a fervent skeptic. There are certainly strange things up there, but for me they remain unidentified in the true sense of the term. I definitely keep fine optics on hand though, and continue looking up as often as I can without drawing the unwanted attention of overly imaginative, silly people. Two years ago, a friend and I spotted some kind of strange operation involving a large round object with what seemed a ladder or long appendage extending from it. That one was surely human.

This makes me chuckle a little because Inkscape is the refinement! There used to be windows all over the place when it was still sodipodi.

My understanding is that in this particular case, it's built in a very modular way. E.g. it uses an embedded version of potrace to do autotracing. It's hard to make a good and consistent UI when you're unifying so many pieces.

Sandboxie (by default), does not restrict access to existing files in your user directory (or anywhere else).

It stops malware etc. From persisting because it catches writes. Basically it kind of mounts an overlayfs over your drive.

You can configure this differently, and iirc the paid donation version has an option to make your user directory private.

I agree that this probably isn't the best default, but that likeöy was a case of not rtfm'ing, andlnot misjudging the risk level. I was confused by this at first too.

On a static site, the change would look more like: edit a file, rebuild the site, deploy to production.

basically at its core its about paths of upwards mobility, so people have agreed that women should be exploiting themselves for corporations as well. specifically now the more influential and lucrative roles in those corporations.

this is why other trades with heavy sex imbalances are ignored.

solve the core of additional paths to upwards mobility and all of these contrived abstractions dissipate. since of course, many men don't want to be exploiting themselves for corporations either but nobody will subsidize their life as there's no market of people willing to do that (well, the market of anyone willing to do that is men). if there was, the sex representation remaining within corporations would probably equalize itself - since the men would drop out - the distribution of choices that people are willing to take probably are close to evenly distributed across all sexes. one sex just lacks a choice therefore corralling them into the corporate sphere at all levels, while the other sex has mass dilution of representation in the corporate sphere due to their variety of choices (not suggesting any of those choices are structured perfectly, but there is dilution).
In general the Privacy Considerations section (7, slightly below what I cited, 5) is quite impressive & well considered. There are pretty strong & conservative recommendations: only use session resumption once, for one example.

I have a lot of faith a) these specs have identified the potential issues fairly well, b) they have adequate & good recommendations, c) most implementations will follw these recommendations, and d) the alarm/alert will go up if implemenatations start undercutting significantly on privacy measures.

Generally I think there's no present due cause for alarm, at all. Privacy is a real concern & risking it is an acknowledged existential risk that no standards bodies would pave over in todays or tomorrows world.

My impression from the first picture in the article was that these might be so tightly coupled car-to-car, a single car tilting (L/R) into a hole might be impossible. More fancifully, imagine they were so tightly linked wrt front/back tilt, the land train could bridge gaps all by itself.

I guess you don't use any other company either because every other company has committed something bad in the past? (Sony had rootkits in their CDs, Microsoft has been anticompetitive by forcing the hands of OEMs and inserting spyware in their OS, the list can go on...).

What matters is how each company answers to their mistakes. If they double-down, you are right to avoid them. If they recognize them and make amends, it's OK to give them a chance again.
