> In the US government's ongoing campaign to protect data in the age of quantum computers, a new and powerful attack [...] highlights the risks involved in standardizing the next generation of encryption algorithms.

I don't think that follows from the published attack at all.

As Bruce Schneier wrote nearly a quarter century ago "Anyone, from the most clueless amateur to the best cryptographer, can create an algorithm that he himself can’t break."[0] The only way to get good cryptosystems is to get as many cryptographers as possible, outside of the ones who invented them, to attack those cryptosystems in as many ways as they can think of.

But people come up with cryptosystems all the time. How do researchers decide which ones are worth attacking? And, how do we know that enough researchers have spent enough time attacking any given cryptosystem to conclude that, if none of them have found a flaw by now, then it's plausible that the system might hold up for another 10-20 years or so in widespread use?

One of the best ways we've come up with is, have people submit a bunch of proposals to a regulatory agency (like NIST), who then with advice from academia and industry create a shortlist of likely candidates, and finally advertise those as the ones that as many people as possible should try to break. And for any who do find weaknesses, you get to publish a paper about it and receive a bunch of recognition - rather than finding a weakness in a system no-one cares about and getting nothing.

This is the kind of result that standardising encryption algorithms is meant to produce. It's meant to leverage widespread expertise to find the weaknesses in systems before they start to get widespread use.

A few questions on dependencies: do you need to be using the paid Cypress dashboard? do you need to be using Github for your repo?
Yes! This is something that a couple of folks have brought up before so I'm definitely planning to look into how we can make that happen! :)
The problem is that it's inherently wrong, which I don't expect you to understand given your twisted moral compass.

Perhaps it would help you if you knew that ADOS are pretty upset that Yale keeps admitting the sons and daughters of wealthy African immigrants instead of them.

That doesn't make a difference to a morally upright person. But for a racist such as yourself, maybe know that the policy of racism you're advocating for doesn't even help the group you wish it did.

Not for 5 hours. Five hours ago. Author is talking about a "huge" database, but then mentioned 1GB, which is tiny. In that case there were no significant egress charges.
Look at the sentiment on these types of articles. Do you think Toyota wants that sentiment directed towards themselves? Supply issues might last for a couple years; brand image lasts for decades.
> it is quite easy and cheap to register as a public telecommunication utility

Is North Carolina one of those states? I'm intrigued…
I'm not quite a graybeard yet – even though the first shades are starting to appear – but I have been working for about 24 years now. Frankly, lots of my middle-aged colleagues have been sitting on a chair doing the same thing for 20 years and have not kept up to date. Experience is important, as is being able to predict what approaches will get a project in the weeds. It's not necessary to chase the latest shiny thing, but some serious effort is required to stay up to date instead of immediately assuming ageism. Experience would be so much more valuable if you have something worthwhile to add to discussions about the merits and challenges of newer technologies of the last 5-10 years like for example Javascript frameworks or Kubernetes and other cloud and hybrid strategies.
Ah, you agree with me. Great. You're just missing that bigotry of an individual is not equivalent to a systemic policy.
Yep, but only a very few (old) driving schools have these models (that would be anyway largely obsolete), and those that still have them keep them only for decorative/historical reasons.

Now what is (usually) taught is not "how a transmission works" but rather "how to answer the questions on how transmission works" (which is different).
Is there any basic language eg Common Lisp, vim etc that can run on these?
> Its analogous to if you were an American slave in 1800s, got your freedom and sailed to the UK. And on landing saw blacks in the UK wearing chains as a fashion accessory. It seems so disrespectful towards your struggle.

I would point out that chains are indeed a popular fashion accessory.

I think that telling people what to wear removes power from them. It isn't contradictory to believe that telling people that they must wear something and telling people that they must not wear that thing can BOTH be dis-empowering.

So while I think you should absolutely share your experiences and the feelings you get when you see others wearing a hijab, I absolutely do not think you should push for laws that make it illegal to wear one.
Considering that Google has lost (OK, settled) some high-profile age discrimination lawsuits over the years, that may not be an inaccurate statement, but it’s a pretty stupid move to say that to a prospective employee.
Yes — and the context of this conversation is discrimination in college applications, against Asians.
Swartz recommends reading books or long-form essays instead, and I agree. It doesn’t even matter if they were written recently. Like I said earlier, barely anything about the human condition has changed in the last hundred years. For example, I recently read “Meditations” by Marcus Aurelius. Even though it was written over two thousand years ago by a Roman Emperor, you could almost mistake some parts as being written two days ago by a millennial. There is an infinite amount of wisdom and knowledge to be gained from some of these old works that is impossible to earn by just reading the news every day.
It’s not stubbornness. It’s literally illegal in 48 states to sell direct if there’s ever been a dealership for their brand in the state. As the video goes over ford os trying really hard to dump dealers, it’s not easy.
> We discriminated against blacks in the past, so whites and asians deserve to be discriminated against in the present. Is this your position?

White people took everything for hundreds of years. Then, they turned around and said "Oh look, we own everything but let's just forget about skin color now".

Discrimination resulted in massive inequality. The median net worth of a white family is $200k. The median net worth of a black family is around $0. (goes up to $20k if you count recent immigrants, it's $8 if you only count people who were shipped here as slaves).

My position is that, white people took it all. Now they need to share. It's not discrimination to say that you need to undo stealing for hundreds of years and start on a level playing field, before you forget about skin color.
Passions change. Also, I'd guess most CS grads going to work for JS aren't passionate about stock trading/market arbitrage - they're passionate about the pay or maybe OCaml, but the actual thing that JS does, probably not - it seems hard to be passionate about in and of itself (would someone work there for free because they were having so much fun?). And even if someone might be initially, they likely won't be after 5 years and enough money to retire on comfortably.
Hooking Libc Functions in Rust
we are in agreement with at least one, but very important point - offering the dictatorship to escalate confrontation is counter-productive at this point (maybe not so much some time in the future under different circumstances), because the US will not be able to afford itself to save Taiwan if CCP decides to escalate it further this time.
It sort of does for modules [1] but not functions iirc.

Those precious margins will be their competitor's opportunity. Right now the cloud cartel is happy to all grow quickly and pretend compete with each other, but once that stops the margins will thin out.
Top 20 language is an, uh, interestingly narrow request. Is being the first computer programmer ever[0] not enough impact?

In programming languages there's of course Grace Hopper, one of the early advocates for machine independent languages, who implemented the first linker[1], and also created FLOW-MATIC[2], the first english-like data processing language. FLOW-MATIC was was a major inspiration for COBOL which, incidentally, was partially developed by Jean Sammet, also a woman.

I just want encryption and hashing algorithms that will last for a human lifetime (ie. 100 years).

There are plenty of real world things I can be pretty confident won't exist in 100 years... For example we won't be able to make an atom-perfect cloning machine. We won't have solved teleportation for people, we won't have cured all diseases.

Well I just want an encryption algorithm we won't have broken into.

Pence got really lucky that day, as did the United States. That could have gone entirely different if not for a few people keeping a clear head.
Here’s a good reason: people don’t deserve to be discriminated against on the basis of their race.

If it gets bad enough, manufactures can spin up new brands without legacy dealership cruft. Even without that, a number of dealerships have consolidated into mega conglomerates. Manufactures could probably band together to acquire these at arms length and ensure they get the first, and largest allotment of special vehicles.

But let's not pretend manufactures are innocent in all of this. For years, they tacitly encouraged shitty behavior from dealerships. They pushed margins so low that dealerships could only survive by hitting lofty sales targets and selling overpriced addons.

The reason dealerships are okay with buying up new cars and selling them immediately as new is because this was the standard MO necessary for years to hit quarterly targets. If the dealership was two vehicles short of their target, and no customers were coming in, it looks like a few managers were buying some cars to trade back in next week. Customers don't blink at buying a "used" new car because dealerships just call them "demo" cars or something.
You answered your own question...
Yet when people look at precisely this (class rather than race) they are still called "enemies of excellence" and racist against asian people and sued to high heaven (see the ongoing challenges for the TJHSST admissions changes).
Or worse yet you came from someplace like South Africa, where you were abused for racial reasons and then after coming to the US you get blamed for historical action of some plantation owner physically abusing others. Double points if you're Palestinian or something and barely made it here with the skin on your back.
In the paper on Twitter’s “Who to Follow” service they mention that they designed the service around storing the entire twitter graph in the memory of a single node:

> An interesting design decision we made early in the Wtf project was to assume in-memory processing on a single server. At first, this may seem like an odd choice, run- ning counter to the prevailing wisdom of “scaling out” on cheap, commodity clusters instead of “scaling up” with more cores and more memory. This decision was driven by two rationales: first, because the alternative (a partitioned, dis- tributed graph processing engine) is significantly more com- plex and dicult to build, and, second, because we could! We elaborate on these two arguments below.

> Requiring the Twitter graph to reside completely in mem- ory is in line with the design of other high-performance web services that have high-throughput, low-latency require- ments. For example, it is well-known that Google’s web indexes are served from memory; database-backed services such as Twitter and Facebook require prodigious amounts of cache servers to operate smoothly, routinely achieving cache hit rates well above 99% and thus only occasionally require disk access to perform common operations. However, the additional limitation that the graph fits in memory on a single machine might seem excessively restrictive.

I always wondered if they still do this and if this influenced any other architectures at other companies.

> You use the word "pseudoscience" to describe the training, so it's unlikely that you're receptive to this anecdote

Au contraire... I wish I had time to rebut this but I've got some interviews slated for the next 3 hours. I appreciate your perspective, though.

I guess the only argument I can come up with of at the short moment I have left is that similar arguments are made about religion in general, even ones that the mainstream would consider to be "cults." This doesn't actually debate the point you made about my pseudoscience claim, but what I'm saying is that I might agree with you in that sense you were describing regardless of whether unconscious bias training is scientifically valid or not. (although I think there are other problems with it even if some good can come of it)
I largely agree, but here's an attempt at a "steel man" of the opposing point of view:

Unjust discrimination is complex, often subconscious, and deeply rooted in institutional structures and culture. It's too complex and elusive to address directly beyond the obvious removal of explicit regulations (desegregation) and finger wagging. Those things have already been done and yet extreme inequalities persist, so addressing outcome is the only way people can think of to go any deeper.
I run a Pi 8GB booting from a USB3 NVMe. It runs a PiHole, plus acts as a WireGuard server so I can VPN into it permanently on my phone and actually get useful adblocking on the go.

I also run a Navidrome instance on it and use Subtracks on Android so I can get all my music whilst out and about.

It also runs a Mopidy server so I can play music at home over the proper speakers using Mopidy Mobile.

It also acts as a DDNS informer so that I can always get home when my ISP decides to change my public IP.

It also acts as a SSH gateway and runs a RDP instance on it. I did used to use it as a desktop device and a Moonlight/Steam desktop streamer but now the PC is in the same room, and a Pi400 is downstairs with the TV. That runs much cooler.

All in all a great useful device and not sure how I'd live without it.

A tip to keep the oil from separating: I add about 5ml of water to a jar of peanut butter and stir in well. This creates an emulsion that thickens the peanut butter and prevents the oil from separating out. It improves the spreadability as well.
I enjoy spontaneous cooking and eating, but meal planning is the only way I've been able to maintain a reasonable weight. The way I do it is that I cook meals (breakfast and lunch) for the work week on Sunday. I cook dinner the day of, mostly by keeping a set of staples around that I use to create different dishes. This last one has a little more spontaneity to it, but is still generally about selecting from meals I've already pre-calculated to work.

It is a lot less fun, but I've lost in excess of 50 pounds with meal planning + exercise. It is definitely more boring, but that's been an acceptable loss in the bigger picture.
I like One Big (virtual) Server until you come to software updates. At a current project we have one server running the website in production. It runs an old version of Centos, the web server, MySQL and Elasticsearch all on the one machine.

No network RTTs when doing too many MySQL queries on each page - great! But when you want to upgrade one part of that stack... we end up cloning the server, upgrading it, testing everything, and then repeating the upgrade in-place on the production server.

I don't like that. I'd far rather have separate web, DB and Elasticsearch servers where each can be upgraded without fear of impacting the other services.

Kuntz Law: in ANY/ALL resource constrained systems, giving advantage to 1 individual directly gives disadvantage to another.

This is true whether it is seats on a bus, distribution of aid money, or college admission.

You cannot give race based preference without simultaneously race based discrimination
In the culture wars, it's all about positioning yourself as being of higher moral standing. If you position yourself as being for the downtrodden, you get higher social status. For historical reasons, this can't be done with poverty any more in the US so the playing field is selected race and gender groups.
So use that then. Take median wealth of applicants families and discriminate against anyone who is richer. Entirely objective metric.
Fantastic quote indeed! I let out a laugh and smiled when I hear that, and looked at Dev in a slightly better light.

People hate new housing because it’s 95% luxury condos and McMansions in the US, precisely because we rely too much on the private sector to build housing. Of course they will only focus on units with the fattest margins.
Also consider policy [1].

It's become a dirty word because it's been somewhat hijacked by
management-class values and wrapped up in an unthinking "compliance
and audits" mind-set.

Thinking about what you want to allow, where to draw lines, planning
in advance and sticking to it (including using tricks that force you
to stick to it) is mature security thinking. You only have to be an
organisation of one person to have a security policy.

In the US, race is very much tied to socioeconomic status and class.

It's not a 100% indicator, but its essentially what the quoteunquote CRT in schools was meant to show.

Many black communities are not poor simply because they're poor, but of on-the-books policies of redlining, discrimination, and overpolicing that enabled a wealth gap to form in the post-war period. Many white families were able to buy houses, build generational wealth, etc while many black communities were prevented from buying homes, getting loans, all the way to their neighborhoods being wholesale demolished for highways, malls, power plants, etc.

Being colorblind has the byproduct of ignoring real material policies and historic events that contribute to modern conditions. It is a fact that generational wealth enables rich students to afford SAT prep classes, have parents that can take them to extra curricular activities, and have the ability to not need a job during their teenage years.

Race-based affirmative action is meant to equal out these factors to an extent. Whether it works as intended is another matter.

Cases of "Working hard" and "picking yourself up by the bootstraps" is statistically negligible in the grand scheme.

That may be part of a new thing. Fearful of sanctions from manufacturers, many dealerships have created shell companies, sold their supplies to the shell company for MSRP, who has immediately sold it back to the dealership for MSRP, and now sells it as a used vehicle with <100mi on it, and $20K above the new MSRP.

Works doubly well for the dealership as they continue to get new cars for behaving.
