Cisco Confirms Data Breach, Hacked Files Leaked
Cisco has confirmed a breach of its network, where the attacker used voice phishing to convince an employee to accept a malicious multifactor authentication (MFA) push. The breach resulted in cyberattackers gaining access to the company's virtual private network (VPN) and the theft of an unspecified number of files from its network, the company stated on Aug. 10.

The attacker compromised a Cisco employee's personal Google account, which gave them access to the worker's business credentials through the synchronized password store in Google Chrome. To bypass the MFA protecting access to Cisco's corporate VPN, the attacker attempted voice phishing, or vishing, and repeatedly pushed MFA authentication requests to the employee's phone. Eventually, the worker either inadvertently, or through alert fatigue, accepted the push request, giving the attacker access to Cisco's network.
Hold the front page! --Researchers discover that, when you're tired, you find it harder to think straight.
So the way to fight mental fatigue is to make sure you get rid of those pollutants, or make sure they don't build up so fast.

To get rid of pollutants, your body needs to drain them away through your vessels. For this system to work optimal, you should regularly exercise and avoid cholesterol-rich or inflammatory food that clogs your arteries.
What could possibly also help is move around a bit to avoid overly tensed neck muscles.
well, they're making a shortcut to produce in-house content like Nintendo and Sony does.

Instead of discovering talented studios, (more or less) carefully curate and support them until the eventual point of acquisition (like Sony does IMO), or focusing on finding talented individuals to scale your in-house R&D (like Nintendo does IMO), Microsoft's strategy is to buy entire machines which create games proven to be commercially successful.

The downside to this is that those large studios Microsoft buys are currently complementing the in-house portfolio of all console-makers.

If those studios at one point stop serving all platforms for some strategic reasons of their parent company, many of the games they offer today might not be economic anymore and would end up not being developed.

I wonder how such a move would impact the variety of games available today...
I agree it's way too hard as a one-hour interview question! When I interviewed at Google a few years' ago I was asked to write a simple glob matcher that handled ? and * (like the one I've shown here: https://benhoyt.com/writings/rob-pike-regex/#bonus-glob-matc...). I think that question was border-line okay for an interview, though when I conduct interviews I prefer to give less algorithm-y problems. It was a tough question for me to do in 30-40 minutes, though I think with a little bit of help I got a working solution in Python (I probably didn't handle edge cases properly).
It sounds like you're not familiar with what signals are used for. I brought up the select(2) example because I wouldn't want to fire a signal for every byte (I probably wouldn't want to call a virtual function call, even).

But for clicking the mouse, scrolling a page, kicking off a network request - you could go up to a full ms and you'd still feel that the app is (in a vague general sense) "performant".
I still have a moment when I think of all the "hey look we have shaders!" games released in the early xbox 360 era when I hear the phrase "bloom filter"
I'm not familiar with goats. But this got me thinking: why would the goats even do that? Are they not well-fed? Are they hungry all the time? Do goats eat and poop 24/7 if left unchecked?

> 3. if you really want to improve public health, you might as well start banning harmful products and practices, and mandating healthy ones.

I would like to see that. More regulations or taxes or even bans and mandates (within reason -- we don't want a prohibition like situation that does more bad than good) applied to supermarkets and food chains (not individuals) are needed, for two reasons. The first being that they're taking my money for their healthcare, which gives me moral buy in into questions surrounding any self destructive habits that will take more money from me than necessary. The second being that the concept of free individual choice doesn't cleanly apply to any product that hacks our dopamine system, as with unhealthy food being sold to people who are addicted to unhealthy food, i.e. the morbidly obese.
No, the cheapest diphenhydramine I could find.
Another story from a fellow hacker with a backyard goat - It actually starts in a very subtle way. Goats have different tastes and moods, and it's not like they eat everything right away unless the density of a goat per backyard m2 is too high. I started giving mine some free "roaming" time with the chickens every day before the sunset. It looked very innocent - first few days she ate just some weeds, nettle and some low hanging branches of pear trees. No worries, I was planning to cut those anyways. After few weeks of not paying that much attention in the evenings, bottom third of all our ~12 trees were gone, she got into salads, potatoes, zucchini, pumpkins, peppers and cucumbers, all nettle was done, and she started checking out tomatoes (which seemed that she is really really not into at first). I am building a new goat house with it's own separate "backyard" with weeds that she won't be able to escape. :)

> Can you say get CLI apps in flatpack

For new users the CLI stuff is usually less important. I don't categorically hate snap, but for new users it's bad long-term, too, since it is only controlled by Canonical and therefore a bad reliance. Nobody can add repositories for snap beside Canonical.

If you are an avid CLI user I recommend using containers instead of snap. This way you can even keep the sandbox with dotnet for example.

> flatpack seems to be same RedHat/GNOME crap, pushed by force and not be it's quality.

However it is not controlled by RedHat (and also not solely developed by them). At least everyone can add repositories to flatpak. Which is probably my biggest gripe with snap.
The Grav CMS also internally uses Markdown for the page contents and generates static files: https://getgrav.org/

They do use YAML FrontMatter for attaching metadata so the CMS knows how to process certain pages (e.g. page title, page type etc.), but it isn't too complicated in practice: https://learn.getgrav.org/17/content/content-pages#page-file

They also have an admin plugin, which you can use if you prefer a more traditional workflow, even if it just generates the same file format under the hood: https://learn.getgrav.org/16/admin-panel/introduction

I'm actually using an ancient version of Grav for my own blog, although I had to put the admin path behind additional auth (in addition to the one it already provides), for safety: https://blog.kronis.dev/

I really like hybrid systems like that: a CMS for blogging or just writing in general that's based on Markdown, generates static files for decent performance, but is also extensible with additional functionality, and also has a decent web UI if you want one.

(there are probably other CMSes like that out there, or more generic solutions, too)

Of course, the actual use case for the linked solution is a bit different, being able to dynamically render Markdown client side is also pretty cool! Feels almost more flexible in a way.
Thanks. I figured there will always be a side effect from pills so I avoided them. I use them a lot now but I am hoping to only use them when I need to force myself to sleep early.

What kind of people adopt a pet, and then release it into the wild? People doing this with cats is one of the reasons stray cats are such a big problem in many places. People dumping cat litters in the woods and what not. And rabbits can be an ecological menace too if allowed to multiply, which they do like rabbits.
I think the argument is that it wastes lots of code space on uninteresting parts of the world, and also has higher resolution there.

For the first, about ⅓ of the world’s population lives in 0110, and about 0 of it in 0000, 0010, 1000 and 1010, combined.

Do we even have an established definition for blockchain?

My understanding is that a blockchain is just a data structure. Saying there aren't that many uses for blockchains is like saying there aren't that many uses for tries or red-black trees.

Blockchains don't have to be decentralized for example.

At my former working place we had a freelance consultant on retainer who looked into cutting his hours down for health reasons and thus explored new ventures. Because he already had a few sheep he decided to offer sheep rentals as a "biological" lawn cutter.

But there were 2 problems:
Sheep can be somewhat picky eaters, so they let some grass stand. But the bigger problem was, that while his prospective customers liked the idea of having their lawn cut "biologically", they pretty much did not like the sheep droppings the sheep left behind in practice.

Umm + 100 to this. It surprises me how much recruiters (from all size companies) want you to leave your current role for a role that is worse in pay or growth opportunities or wlb or perks (usually all of the above) for the chance to "make future impact". What does impact even mean and why I care about it if I am not making more money or learning more or being challenged or growing or leveled up? I gotta really learn how to be shameless from these recruiters!!!

I like these hacks, it’s also a mindset that needs to be at the forefront of all of this, why not eudaemonia over hedonism? Ive been interested recently around eudaemonia, Whilst i’m familiar with some of its stoic principles im just barely scratching the surface,

this is just my take, but there’s noticeable patterns within literature in subjects such as minimalism, buddhism and stoicism. All pointing towards eudaemonia over hedonism. Sam Harris in his Waking Up Book / App covers this hedonic treadmill well too

we don’t embrace the impermanence of things

we’re programmed in the western world to be constantly chasing desire, these hacks build gratitude, which is a trait in eudaemonia,

thanks for sharing

Mac is not enough although I have a MacBook Pro on my desk sitting and collecting dust. I only use it to test sites with Safari because emulators never give the same result.

I install ubuntu on old laptops to utilize them and as VM on my current windows machine.

Macbook is sluggish (mouse moves) and very limited customizations/options. None of the communication software I use work all at the same time on either on ubuntu nor macos. For example, I use Skype, RingCentral, WhatsApp, Teams, Discord open in one 32" monitor. I must communicate with multiple people everyday for business purposes. I can't fanboy and go for Mac or Ubuntu and ruin my businesses. (I have 4 x 32")

Another monitor has KeePass, putty, and winscp running. If a client sends me an excel file for a reason and it has macros in it, office is the only way to open it. OpenOffice or Libre sucks. I also occasionally update company blogs and must edit photos and videos. Adobe works flawlessly on Windows and has many advantages using it on Windows compared to MacOs edition.

For my security cameras, I use the camera system's only supported windows software. There is no other platform supported. SonicWall VPN sucks on mac and unsupported. I won't spend 2 hours each time VPN fails on Ubuntu. Windows works flawlessly and I tried on Ubuntu. Can't connect to client servers remotely with Ubuntu or crappy mac vpn software called MobileConnect.

I use FreeCad but tried AutoCad in the past, only works on Windows properly. FreeCad sucks on Ubuntu, AutoCad is not supported. This is for my another business unrelated to the other software.

I have more computers than I can count but I am always ending up using Windows for work. To make everything work on one computer, I must use windows. If something new comes up, I won't spend hours and days to try to make it work on Ubuntu or feel sad for not even having it for MacOs.

Nice to see I'm not the only one obsessed with Snake. This goes directly in my bookmarks :P
A complex number represents a 2D point in the complex plane, but multiplication by a complex number on the unit circle also happens to correspond to a rotation in the complex plane, e.g. 3 × i = 3i, which is a rotation of 90 degrees anticlockwise, or -5i × -i = -5, which is a rotation of 90 degrees clockwise.

So if you use the complex numbers 1, i and -i to represent the actions “go straight”, “turn left” and “turn right” respectively, you can update a complex number representing the current heading of the snake (1 = east, i = north, -1 = west, -i = south) by multiplying it by the action. To get the snake’s current position, add up all the “current heading” numbers you’ve seen so far.
I like my terminals a little bit cleaner:

That seems to match my experience. Not the !g usage, that's much lower for me. We're at a point where if DDG can't find something, then neither can Google. Google will just drop keywords if it can find something, and frequently it will be the most important keyword that gets dropped.

The unrelated result seems about right to me, 1-2%. It depends on the subject, it will typically be search terms that have been SEO'ed to death. The same search on Google will often yield similar poor results, or an entire page of ads.

If Kagi is as great as people claim then that's great, we do need more competition among search engines. It might hurt DDG a little, but I would hope it move more people from Google to alternatives.

The key point for me is really how bad Google have become. The search results aren't amazing, Bing and DDG can easily compete. They have vastly overdone the ads. Some results are now almost an entire page worth of ads and no actual results. The important part is to have good alternatives to Google.

Because C was originally for PDP/DEC equipment and the instruction set had standard register access modes including both pre and post increment.

So the (for example) strcmp "while (s++ == d++);" made sense as efficient code, because the pointer access and the post increment effectively compiled down to almost a single instruction.

I don't understand why this is stunning. You have a vast, complex networked system and a critical part has failed; it's not a shutdown switch that ends the system outright. Components of the system will logically continue to work until their requirements are affected enough to compromise their function, and, if an intervention is organized to restore those requirements before such a time, it stands to reason that they will continue to function.
Zorin OS, is exactly what you describe, it's free but you can pay for support and some extra bells and whistles.

I am a long time Debian user but I transioned both my parents away from Windows using Zorin OS.

Really happy with the experience overall. I am not sure they really grasp it but they love it, for them it's just a "free Windows my son installed".

It's only small faces that are distorted, and they are often heavily distorted, it's not an "uncanny valley effect", they look like disfigured pieces of meat and skin. It's the same in dalle-mini.

Dalle2 can clearly generate super-realistic faces without any problem, if you look at most of the posts at r/dalle2

The issue with small faces might be architectural if there is context-aware upscaling going on in the network, where a face needs to start larger than some smallest scale or it won't survive that process. That in turn might be an issue of too little training. A small face in a photo in the training data won't generate as much error gradient if it goes wrong as a larger face, but as you suggest we as viewers are much more prone to scrutinize faces even though they are small.
