Good find. Disproves the "only useful for web fingerprinting". It's also useful to their users for a fairly common flow.

Don't assume malice, but do consider side effects of your decisions.

This does add an extra bit to web-fingerprinting, it's only 1 bit. Someone intentionally trying to add fingerprinting could do much more malicious things. Unique font names or uniquely generated font w varying letter widths could completely de-anonymize a user. This seems scoped to identifying team-viewer users, not identifying/fingerprinting individuals.
> You know… suggesting that someone that they’re delusional and uninformed isn’t a very charitable way to discuss anything online.

I think there's no reason to exaggerate what I said just because I don't love your pet principle as much as you do. Here's what I explicitly describe as being part of well-written (or poorly written) code, which has very little to do with FP vs OOP vs procedural:

"Poor naming, branch/loop structuring, scoping, data modeling/normalization, module structuring, logging, and dependency selection/integration"

>The phrase “well-written” may be doing a lot of lifting here

I think if you read the entire comment, you'd see it doing a lot less lifting because I explicitly detail what "well-written" is. And I think it is cross-language.
> Societies also implemented security measures after terrorist attacks.

i would argue that those measures are costing more than the attacks themselves. It's security theater - high cost (in terms of time and resources), high visibility (politically). But doesn't really prevent any terrorist attacks, because terrorist attacks are fairly rare all things considered.

So you can say that those terrorists' attack succeeded in making the lives of those they attacked worse, and it's because we let them dictate due to "fear", rather than rationally ignore them.
My reading of the legislation is that this kind of message is only permissible if the Gatekeeper also includes that message when installing the native equivalent. The legislation requires that on initial setup of the device, the user be given a choice of services like browsers, and the Gatekeeper cannot unfairly prejudice competitors by, for example, including such a warning for only the competitors.
I would have used the Mozilla docs as a more official reference.

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/HTTP/Status

You want to bring up pollution, what about the plethora of http status reference sites we already have. At least OP kept it to CLI. It’d be nice if it sourced it from Mozilla so it wouldn’t need updating.
nepo at candidates was in my opinion favored to beat magnus...he dominated the candidates harder than anyone else has in the history of the candidate matches - and it was not an easy pool of candidates, either. Sure, there were a lot of sloppy games, but only a couple vs nepo - with one of them being after the 1st place spot had been guaranteed.

If nepo plays like he did in the candidates, I would not be so quick to favor magnus.
If they were shown to be false, I would have expected that discussion to surface occasionally. However, all I've heard is silence.
The message is contradicted by it's form. I think that counts as irony, perhaps with a tinge of sarcasm. Intentional, to make a joke, yes.
There is always coupling. The question is whether a certain architectural design is coupled loosely or tightly. If you read Fielding's blog post referenced in TFA, you can see he is an advocate of loose coupling.

I have demonstrated this design in my post above.
Ah interesting. I've tried looking at Behance and Dribbble to find someone but went back to Upwork because I found it easier to browse profiles and portfolios. I'll definitely check twitter, thanks for the tip.

Would you be willing to share your designer's profile/website? (if so my email is josh.salsen at fastmail.com)
Right? I thought it was annoying that No Such Thing as a Fish kicked on into the exact same spot every time I went for a drive. But that's a million times better than anything by U2 or whatever Songs of Innocence is.
What's the device you're using? Color me interested.
By binary analysis, it sounds like you mean to claim that 99% effective isn't close enough to 100%. For most people that would be enough.
Because I don't know how else you could conclude that gun regulations are bereft of any benefit whatsoever, even hypothetically, without manufacturing such an unfair hurdle to obfuscate the obvious: gun violence requires access to guns.

It seems like you want to say that broader mental health problems are more important than gun violence, but that's only more reason to restrict access to guns. Most other places in the world are able to recognise that mental illness and guns are a bad mix, and act accordingly.
The US has had nearly one third of the mass shootings in the world since the 60s yet people like you continue to defend access to guns as though it's not a contributing factor (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_shootings_in_the_United_S...).
That alone seems to point to one of those broad problems affecting the populace. It doesn't have to be the only cause, to merit a treatment.

The rest of the world doesn't view gun access as a given, or even a good. It's earned and revered, or prevented, but never normalised.
It's why Abe's assassin had to make his own gun, because Japanese laws didn't make things easier for him.
It's why here in Australia, even gangsters don't even have guns, for the most part https://youtu.be/BYsXCnxbnj0?t=461

But we don't judge the effectiveness of these restrictions by some bogus standard of absolute zero gun violence.
We judge them by assessing our rare incidents of gun violence, and whether we think we think we could or should have done more to prevent them from obtaining and using a firearm.

And when we look at the numbers of mass shootings in the US, particularly in sensitive places like schools, we wonder how in the world you can think you're doing enough.
he's just fucking with Naka :D
I wish all PMs would go on call for a week at least. The OP's stint with on-call will be quite useful in his career since he can better intuitively view infrastructure more holistically. Then if the group is doing sprints, the "firefighting" will more easily get prioritized.
Not sure that is true, Postgres can rule our entire partitions and scan less stuff I think?
Rewriting text messages can help services to save money
It blows my mind how many people have bought into Apple's position on this. No, Apple restricting your freedom does not afford you greater security. You, as an adult, can choose not to install shady software. If you're not confident in your ability to tell shady from legit, just stick to the App Store. Don't demand that Apple treat the rest of us like children just because that's how you would like to be treated.
My feel is that from a game theoretical approach, a 3:1:0 scoring ratio would encourage enough players to at least try for a win sometimes that it would restore some of the interest and competitiveness to the sport.
E-bikes are limited to 26 km/h here, much faster than "most people regularly go on a pedal bicycle" and these faster bikes are used disproportionately often by older (more fragile) people.
save a hundredth of a cent per laptop

If only it was just about the cost of paint. I suspect this is really something more sinister --- engineered obsolescence.

A significant portion of the Apple cult mystic is built around status, image --- and let's be honest, pure BS.

What does a devout Apple acolyte with an old, scratched up, obsolete looking laptop do? Of course he buys a new one!

This is legally a much safer way to promote upgrades and boost sales than installing a software update to slow the old one to a crawl. When the latter approach was tried, it cost them half a billion dollars.

Yes, we have Via in Seattle, too.

It picks up people and takes them to the closest light rail station or takes them home from the station. It has a fixed radius of operation and typically there are 2-5 people in the van. It is a feeder system to bring riders to light rail trains.
This seems like a more limited version of Github CodeSpaces
Well in finance/trading, you need 24/5 or even 24/7 human monitoring. If you don't respond to that alert, you can wake up and see that the system just has lost tens of millions. Core engineers usually take on call duties, as fast diagnostics and response is critical.
> once you have to do anything more complicated than just commiting/merging

If you really have to do more complicated things with git.. why? I mean that seriously, if your workflow necessitates anything more complicated that committing or merging with any level of regularity, it sounds like you have a bad workflow. Committing and merging should be 99.9% of your activity within git, shouldn't it?
> Install any malware. Install any Trojanized App Store full of warez and viruses. Use an unsupported browser full of RCE vulns. Use sketchy payment system that steals you card. Use a spyware voice assistant.

Correct. Malware and trojans, everywhere will be unleashed on the average user and will make the crypto wallet an obvious target for scammers and criminals to take payment with and steal the users crypto.

Wallets will be drained via modified, cracked apps or hack tools connecting to dodgy smart contracts, and payment providers will be using anonymous cryptocurrencies like Zcash, monero, mobilecoin (used in signal messenger) etc.

I can only see nothing but the same security issues on the desktop, but now made worse on phones enabling side-loading or alternative app stores.
Yes, but Apple will make sure they run at 50% lower speed. /s
I think CarPlay (both wired and wireless versions) requires Bluetooth.
The ISP can indeed block arbitrary IP addresses. As well as the risk of overblocking (and consequent negative consumer experience, oops, we forgot WikiMedia's controversial project X is also on the same servers as their famous encyclopedia so when we blocked the ~1 in a million customers looking at project X we also broke Wikipedia for all our customers) this is a serious administrative hassle. ISPs are for-profit entities so "We can spend $$$ doing this" is only justified if you can show why it increased revenue more than $$$.

You can't see "the presented certificate" on a modern web browser visiting most web sites. In TLS 1.3 (offered by > 55% of 135,000 surveyed web sites) every step after Client Hello is encrypted, so the certificate isn't available to snoops.

For now, you can see the SNI in that client Hello, telling the server who they wanted to talk to. However ECH (Encrypted Client Hello) is intended to get rid of that too.
This is very interesting - is that just a general acupressure spikey ball? I am looking for one on Amazon, if you had the link?

Also, reading up on the vagus how is the vagus stimulated via the foot? Reading on wikipedia on the vagus nerve I cannot see how it is connected to the foot in any way?

Thanks in advance
Looks pretty good, and I wish my country (USA) would pass similar things.

Still, as an Apple customer, I like having Safari pre installed and I like the Message app so I hope it’s functionality doesn’t change.
The point of DoH is preventing 'others' - such as ISPs - from snooping and interfering with plain-text DNS queries. Encrypting network traffic is generally good. Anything that hijacks DNS requests is going to no longer work, as designed.

Devices should still allow setting a custom DoH server, and they should use it. You should still be able to run your own DoH server and use that.

Any device/software that ignores your network settings (such as classic DNS or DoH) is bad, just like an ISP intercepting your DNS requests is bad.
Yeah, I have Sony WH1000-XM2 and XM5 and both work perfectly for Zoom and other video calls with my MacBook Air (M1) as well as my MacBook Pro (Intel 2019), I'm using it daily for work. Zero configuration, just pair and go. Sorry I can't help you with setting it up but I really didn't have to do anything, it worked immediately all by itself.
Disappointing, yes. Except this is the norm in science if we look back historically. Theories that were accepted for hundreds of years are replaced with more accurate representations through the scientific method. For example, planetary epicycles.
Oh, that's fancier than my ready-at-hand qute for these situations, which was 90s-girl-rocker Ani DiFranco: "so I'll walk the plank / and I'll jump with a smile / if I'm gonna go down / I'm gonna do it with style".
I just read this story in Jordan Ellenberg's book, "Shape: The Hidden Geometry of Information, Biology, Strategy, Democracy, and Everything Else" as part of the section on decision trees, evaluating state, etc. Tinsley is the GOAT.
The Pentagon does not want a force of this size. A few romantics, usually from the Democratic side of the aisle, now and then suggest universal military service, to no effect.
Wait doesn't randomizing make one more easily fingerprinted? Unless every check returns different results. And even that behavior could be a strong signal to distinguish Brave from other browsers.
Spraying water on your house usually doesn't accomplish very much unless your house is on fire. But if your house really is on fire, it is likely the only thing that works.
They forgot the noscript/basic (x)html interoperability for the web. That does enable the possibility to use other browsers than big tech browsers. It is related to the "core messaging interoperability".

And making core messaging functionality interoperable is fairly not enough because we already know what they will do to lock users on their software: they will accelerate their planned obsolescence, will increase the complexity/size of their protocol (or open source software) in order to kill alternatives which cannot have full-time bazillions of devs.

Ofc, they will hide their malicious behavior behind words like "they have to evolve/adapt" or other security fallacies (I would not be surprise if corpos(=state?) paid hackers start to abuse the system in order to give corpos "good excuses" to trash interop), etc, well you get the picture.

Simple, but good enough to the do reasonably the job, stable in time is the way to regulate them.

Those guys are smart, their evil will be too.
no, dude. it would take at least couple years of intense training for Serral v Magnus to be somewhat interesting
I guess you're right. My bluetooth experience is Macbook, iPhone, Apple keyboard, Apple mouse and Apple headphones. Everything works extremely well. The thing that I like most is power indicator integrated with iOS and macOS. Allows me to charge those things before they run out of power. As long as you stay in the garden, things are smooth.
The most attractive thing to me in that SRE handbook is the error budget. I don't mind poking at your thingy but I'm only going to do it a few times before it becomes your problem instead.
We had something like this in the exurbs of Calgary in the 1970s, it was called "DART", for "Dial-A-Ride Transit".

It was semi-on-demand, and not door-to-door.

The scheme was, you called the DART line (from your land-line, obviously) and gave your address, and there was a mini-bus that made the rounds of the residential neighborhood, which would come to your address on its next round. It would then take you to the local transit junction point, a nearby shopping mall with several bus bays where a number of regular bus routes converged, and you would make your connection and complete your journey in the regular way.

It seemed to me to be a reasonable way of efficiently delivering infrequent transit service to a large area, although I personally only used it a couple of times to visiit a friend.
I have a vague recollection that there used to be a Word Processor for the Atari ST with the same name, but I could be wrong.
As I understand it, the real dubious thing about MOND, and what makes most physicists discount it, is that it looks a lot like an exercise in curve-fitting[0]. Maybe that'll actually lead to an explanation of reality, but in general physicists are like programmers: they like elegance. They want to start with a simple equation or modification and, after applying all the math, find that it suddenly explains a bunch of data that never fit the old model and makes testable predictions.

[0] IIRC this wasn't really true of the initial form that only explained galactic rotation anomalies, but every other anomaly we credit Dark Matter for has required more and more tweaking to explain with MOND.
This comment is completely unnecessary and adds nothing to the discussion. How is the author publishing source code on his own github repo "burdening the public".
There are van taxis that do this in third world countries, they're not terrible. Faster than a bus line and cheaper than a regular taxi. I think if pooling was more of a norm and people were a bit less time sensitive it'd work great here with the support of an app.
Considering how they bend to the local rules around the world, they will bend to this too. I remember only Google shutting down news in Spain and leaving China because of censorship. Apple looks at the money. There are too many money in Europe. They'll put on some sort of a fight but eventually we're going to have third party software on iOS that Apple doesn't approve.
The terminal in VSCode. Over the past 6 months or so I've been forcing myself to move as much of my workflow into the terminal as possible and I've found things have been continually getting easier and easier. A lot of arbitrary restrictions based around half-baked UIs get removed when there's no more half-baked UI.
Try RustDesk. They have a open source server for self-hosting.
slack is a horrific place to store valuable things. search sucks, threads suck, and information literally floats away up off the screen over time.
You must have read too quickly. The section of the article I quoted says that 3000 km range requires LESS space than is currently used for ICE engines and fuel so no carrying capacity is lost. It is for a 20,000 km that a third of the cargo space needs to be dedicated to batteries.

Again, the article goes into all of this. If you want to discuss this productively, you need to read the article and criticism where their assumptions, model, or calculations are flawed.
> #1 got in the way of #2 because all the elite grandmasters...

... also focus on grabbing draws. Draws against lower rated players (that is, everyone for Magnus) drop your elo. Winning the world championship may very well drop Mangus' elo score if it involves only a handful of wins and lots of draws.
and thousands more died due to motor traffic accidents (https://injuryfacts.nsc.org/motor-vehicle/overview/prelimina...)

The outrage always happens on politically charged subjects, but worse outcomes happen on the roads, and nobody talks about it as though it was normal.

Kids should fear crossing the street more than an active shooter. While i don't disagree that gun control is a good outcome, the difficulty of achieving it in the US is real. Effort is better spent addressing the root cause of gun violence, rather than attempting to take the guns away and just hope that the violence doesn't occur.
I have a Honda and if I plug my iPhone into it's USB port it will auto-play the first song in my Apple Music/iTunes library which for a long time was "A-YO" by Lady Gaga. The opening lyric of "heeerreee we gooo" was amusing and appropriate for a while until it got incredibly annoying once I switched to Spotify.

I think the issue lies somewhere between Honda's implementation of the iPod standard and some weird backwards compatibility the iPhone is providing. When in this "iPod-like" mode I lost functionality like queuing songs via the Play Next option. It just disappeared from the long-press menu on songs.

Anyways I just bought a Bluetooth adapter from Amazon and plugged that into the aux input. Waaaay better
There was ESNI. Hopefully they will introduse it again.
Yes, they specifically reference browser engines.
53p (+20% VAT) per litre for a car that uses 7.5 litres per 100km is about £48/1000km.

The average UK mileage has dropped a lot over the years and is now just below 7000 miles a year. An odometer duty for that would be about £200, or £17 a month.

If HMRC bring in £35bn a year in fuel duty a year for 45m drivers (the number of people with active driving licenses) that’s more like £700 a head. Why the threefold difference?
Okay, ban all that stuff too. Why do people need more than pistols, shotguns, and basic rifles? I can’t own a nuclear weapon. So clearly there is a line.
> They forgot the noscript/basic (x)html interoperability for the web

Noscript has nothing to do with this.
No, it's the opposite. You don't want people to drive because of the environment, health, noise, road "accidents" killing people, how it destroys cities etc. So the taxes are a direct incentive to find alternative modes of travel.
Would I pay $40 a month to have strangers watch me at work?

Absolutely not!

I would however pay $40 a month to be free of all snooping, tracking, and telemetry (including a guarantee that there was no stranger watching me via my web cam.
I glanced at Wikipedia earlier to learn about the California project and they claim that despite costing x2 or x3 what similar European and Chinese efforts cost, that's mostly due to the cost of land and 3 mountain ranges being in the way.

It also mentions that it's costing less per mile than HS2 in London. So if this is extravagant waste, it's not that extravagant.
Yeah my mom has HP wireless printers and I always uninstalled the HP software and it works every time without having to install anything else.

Maybe because I’m used to the MacOS world but that should be the default first thing you try is do nothing and let the OS handle it.
This is still web fingerprinting. They are using this, specifically, for fingerprinting. They don't care about the font; they care about being able to spot TeamViewer users in a crowd. The only difference here is it's being done for a beneficial purpose. "TeamViewer installs font only useful for web fingerprinting" is absolutely true; only the word "suspicious" is untrue because now we know what it's for.
> But they need to make sure wins give you e.g. 3 points and draws only 0.5.

As black under such a system I might be more strongly incentivized to go for the draw than under the current system. I'm already starting at a disadvantage by having black, so pressing for the win is extra risky, and if I do go for it and lose my opponent gains 3 points on me.

If you want to reduce draws by playing with points you probably should included something that takes into accounts white's advantage. You want to make sure white has a strong incentive to push for the win, which in turn also increases the chances white will go too far, giving black a good chance to also push for the win.

For example, asymmetric scoring such as black gets 3 points for a win, 1 point for a draw, and white gets 2 points for a win, 0 points for a draw. That system was tried in a couple or so tournaments around 2005 or so.

As far as the format goes, I wonder if a small tournament coupled with something like the promotion/relegation system used in many soccer leagues would be good?

Have a Champions Tournament that consists of 4 players that play a double round robin (or maybe a quadruple round robin?) for the World Championship. The participants are the current Champion, the runner-up from the prior Champions Tournament, and the top two from the Candidates Tournament.

The Candidates Tournament would include the 3rd and 4th place players from the prior Champions Tournament, the 3rd and 4th place players from the prior Candidates Tournament, and some players who are invited based on rating, World Cup, and Grand Prix results.

Maybe also make the Candidates bigger than it is now, say 10 or 12 players. That would be too long to hold as a single event, so split it. Play some of the games as part of the World Cup event and some as part of the Grand Prix events.
