That's what they did.

If you're a science journalist and you can't tell a science paper like this is bullshit in in less than 15 minutes you should be fired.

Of course you never will be because the point of news isn't to inform but to get you to watch adds.
Personally I don't prefer the Tiny Weather Forecast Germany app as the Weather Notifications app has been super stable and reliable for me on several devices. You need own OpenWeatherMap API key, see full details here https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/wiki/Weathe...
If software engineers in a specific field (automotive) were held liable for bugs in their software, no one would want those jobs. Would you?
I think the parent is implying Google is better than Fitbit, rather than Google doing everything correctly. If the grandparent’s comment is correct, then I have no trouble believing Google will be an improvement.
As someone who has implemented SAML and SCIM, I agree with you about SAML.

However, I’m curious to learn why you think SCIM is a “bad” protocol, can you explain why you don’t like it?
Also I'm pretty sure I heard the sound of clearing the throat and spitting in the recording. Too many distinct categories of human-sounding sounds to be random electro mechanical or electromagnetic phenomena.

No, this prank was helpful.

Any system (in this case the system of how information originating in science makes it into the general public brains) needs to be tested from time to time to see if it works.

This prank was a test, the system failed (to stop this from reaching headlines).
I believe it's not actually contrails specifically but rather the effects of releasing exhaust (CO2) at a high altitude (which would happen whether the contrails form or not).
There are many alternatives like CyberArk, OneLogin, Ping Identity and others.
Annother interesting table one, tr/td/th outside of a <table> will never appear in the DOM. You can make up your own tags and they appear anywhere, but those three are magic and can only exist inside a table.

Forms are also weird, if you leave off the closing tag, an implicit one is included in the DOM. However, if you have inputs further down the page, and technically outside the form, they are included in the submitted form data.

(Don’t ask how I discovered that…)
Yes, I probably explained it a little too simplistic. Describing it as the commit is quite accurate I think. In my program I came up with the verb "book" for this, as book a transaction, but I have no idea if it is correct in the English-speaking world.
Hyperion Cantos is extraordinary. Well worth finishing the four books
This must be the explanation. The one thing I can't quite understand though is how someone could be simultaneously so very technically clever and yet execute such a mundane level of prank. This could be so much more epic if someone got more creative with the choice of audio track. I mean, it could be anywhere from totally hilarious to actual terrorism. Scary to think of the possibilities.
I hate that kinda rhetoric. Everything.. c'mon..
I'm confused by this post. First you wrote: <<Enginnering Head at VW>>, then you wrote: <<low-rank Engineer>>. Which one is it? Engineering Head at VW probably makes huge money has has 10,000 well-paid staff under them.
I'm talking about my company uses jira, git, aws, etc., and I'd like to centrally enforce SSO + yubikeys.
Like what? Must be things I do not use I guess, which definitely can be the case as I never plug in external monitors etc, but everything I use works very well for dev work.
> Yeah my impression of Apple at the time was that they leaked like a sieve

And yet there's still only one partial source code leak (for System 7.1) publicly available. Microsoft still has them beat on this. ;)
> Can you provide any detailed technical information that proves that Google intentionally crippled this new API for nefarious purposes?

This is not a technical decision by google, it is business strategy.

No company publically publishes strategy meeting notes, so asking for them is not a reasonable argument. Of course they are not public and anyone who was present at the meetings is under heavy NDAs.
If this is truly the explanation though, I wonder if the public will ever get to hear confirmation or if they'll just remove it and refuse to talk about it / threaten employees to keep it quiet.
Why LinkedIn's Future Is a Joke. As In, Lots of Them
We knew it - but in a kind of theoretical way. Like you know that there is poverty in the world. (Yes, it kinda sucks, but it doesn't suck too much because it doesn't really affect you.)

Now we know it in a much more tangible way that affected us (perhaps you yourself fell for it, I at least hears it in my friends' circle) and that made us act.

The short version of why SAML is bad is because it’s based on XML. This means that SAML is not only subject to the usual vulnerabilities that you’d expect, but also XML vulnerabilities!

A slightly longer explanation is that SAML is based on a garbage cryptographic signature standard called “XML-DSig” which, among other issues, allows for partial signatures and stores the signature inside the XML element that it signed.

Honestly, SAML is something of an info hazard. I don’t recommend learning more about it. But if you really want to, this blog post goes into more detail: https://dev.to/workos/fun-with-saml-sso-vulnerabilities-and-...
Most people are ill equipped by intelligence, education, demeanor,and available time and to substitute for an entire building full of teachers. Schooling doesn't have to take place in the home but most parents are unsuited to the task by themselves.

The number of people home schooling went up during the pandemic but it is a single digit percentage not spreading like "wildfire". I expect home schooling to be sufficient for only a minority while a larger portion might well benefit from a partially or wholly online experience.
Apologies that my question wasn't clear enough. I am building a remote company and we use a ton of products. I'd like centralized authentication + sso + ability to enforce yubikeys for AWS, Jira Cloud, Bitbucket, and a ton of others that OKTA supports for SSO.
FingerprintJS adds Cloudflare integration to bypass third-party ad blocking
Right... another way to look at this response is it's really passive-aggressively hoping they figure out they are wrong; it's still looking for their approval.

If you are truly dependent on specifically them, eg for visa reasons, that can only lead to a "partially managed decline".

If not, it's better to make your own decision to switch tracks in a controlled way and leave their bullshit and your need to care at all about it behind. You only have so many days on the planet, you will regret wasting them with people that make you feel like this.
I think you're confusing storing user password for access to Okta vs storing passwords in Okta for access to other applications.
If you're going to use Okta as a password manager and store passwords to access other applications you can't hash the password because it irreversible and you won't be able to get the real password to authenticate with the other application. So you must encrypt the passwords instead.

Around this time there was also Apple project “Star Trek” which ported System 7 to x86:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek_project

It worked, but all the apps needed to be recompiled for x86, and it didn’t tick any of the advanced feature boxes like Pink/Taligent did. (Which notably ticked all the boxes and never shipped.)

Still I think MacOS on x86 could have been a contender against Windows 3.1. Had Microsoft refused to port Mac Office to x86 or tried to pull their licensing shenanigans against Apple, it might have made a stronger and earlier antitrust case at least.
They’re talking specifically about client-side hashing. You’re right that the system will hash the stolen hash, but only in cases where the system can’t be bypassed (which client side code always can be).
Instead of tricking the syntax, I just check in the command. I have a cron entry set up to run every Monday, but I limit it to the start of the month with:

How about just globally disabling focus stealing by all applications? That would prevent a lot of this outright. For some reason this basic security hole has been around since day one with no desire to correct it.

Then the scientists should spend their time naming and shaming other articles that those very journalists and papers have written, not contribute more bilge that others have to factcheck. This is not equivalent to ethical white hacking.

I don’t think I have it in me to become an old programmer.

I absolutely love programming. It’s the best feeling in the world.

A decade of doing it for money, being treated like an assembly line worker who gets bossed around by a PO that has no technical knowledge, and being constantly asked to drive the bus in the wall has sucked every last bit of enjoyment out of it. Or forcing me to go with a brain dead design that I’ve warned will cause us 10x the headache afterwards.

I’m not even 40 but can’t wait to retire and leave all these dumpster fires behind.
Genuinely, they ate not annoying to me at all when debugging. I check whether function returned what I expected from its inputs and either look for bug there or move on.

I don't recall much jumping put and in.
Pihole blocks ads for an entire network, so why does a content blocker have to be built into the browser? Can't it just be a separate app you run, outside the browser? Even if the browser is using HTTPS the URL and IP address for everything not from the site you are on is visible. The app could even run as a fake proxy. Scripts would be harder to block if they are sent encrypted, but since you can view the scripts in a browser and hence know the exact content of the script maybe it would be easy to snip them out of the encrypted stream by automatically generating signatures or formulas for what to snip for the scripts from various sites. You could even use an embedded browser in the app to decode and format the entire page, automatically determine what to snip, do the snip, and then forward the modified stream to the users primary web browser (with some delay). Any checksums could be modified appropriately. The app could present a GUI in the primary browser that the user could use to decide what to block. Are the page contents protected by a cryptographic signature? Does not seem like it would matter since the embedded browser certainly has the ability to decrypt everything. Data in the reverse direction could be sent unmodified. Maybe the slowdown caused by filtering everything this way would be unacceptable to users? Some users might find it acceptable in exchange for greater control.
If your employer is a for-profit company, why would you work above and beyond what they're paying you to do?

You might feel an obligation to your users, your manager or your teammates to go the extra mile. But recognise that what you're ultimately doing is enriching the owners of the company - people with capital who aren't working at all for the profit you generate. Which is absolutely fine while you're getting paid fairly for your time. Work is work, volunteering is volunteering. Keep them separate.

People are more likely to value and respect the things they pay for. People often forget to value things they get for free. That includes employers with your time. Unpaid overtime often goes unnoticed, or just becomes expected.

In my professional life I occasionally go above and beyond. Usually when I'm both enjoying the work and the thing I'm doing is highly visible. But those times are more than balanced out by the time I have slacked off in core hours. And I have still delivered value, been recognised for it and advanced.

I perhaps could have advanced quicker if I'd done unpaid overtime. But then I would have been more stressed, and have had less time to invest in other areas of my life. Some of these extra curricular things have been helpful to my career. Like learning promising technologies I am interested in, whether or not they have immediate relevance to my employer. Or doing job interviews.

>Searching for another job is not an option at this point

I wonder why this is not an option. If it is because you lack the time or confidence to do so, then cutting back on working for free should help with that.

Germany Unveils Digital Tool That Will Ration Gas in a Crisis
Great answer that I wish I knew years ago. I was that guy.

So I started just doing as little as possible and... nobody seemed to care. It was on paper a sweet gig. Decent salary, lopsided work life balance. But you're right... despite what sounds like a dream job, I was constantly bitter about it all.

I finally moved jobs, am actually working again, and much happier. Wish I'd done it 5 years ago.
if game controls feel odd to you compared the original console - enable vrr support in windows settings and in gpu driver for desktop programs.

you can also use specialK injector independent flip against browser.

this is as much as you can do to reduce browser output latency (it has 1-2 frames of internal latency compared to emulator).
No, this pipeline is not more readable. It is a annoying to have to constantly have to read it. It makes it harder to figure out what larger algorithm and design is.
> The first is that it protects the privacy of users better.

That is an unjustifiably absolute statement.

In security you need to look at threat models, not just declaring something better or worse.

There are multiple parties you may (or may not) trust. For instance, the browser developer, the website developer and the extension developer. Different people legitimately have different threat models.

You seem to trust the browser developer (an advertising company driven by ad profits above all else) the most. In that scenario, your statement makes sense.

I trust the ad-blocker extension developer more than the other parties, so of course I want it to have full acess to block evil behavior.
Nick Clegg to decide on Trump’s 2023 return to Instagram and Facebook
Naming is probably the single hardest part of writing scalable, legacy code. Cache invalidation is a cakewalk in comparison. I believe this is in part because naming is a miniature exercise in empathy for future readers particular of a piece of code.
Reminds me of this week's Vice Motherboard story of astronomers investigating a second interstellar meteor reaching Earth. What I hadn't expected is that they were given access to classified US military data, from sensors designed for missile detection:

Hadrien Devillepoix, research associate at Curtin University’s School of Earth and Planetary Sciences, told Motherboard over email that the raw data Loeb and Siraj are pulling from is classified and having even high-level bolide (meteor) data from that database is a “blessing” that’s been helpful in some applications but found to be limited in others.

"Does this mean that those sensors are bad at the job they were designed for? No,” he said. “The satellite sensors behind the CNEOS catalog were presumably designed for detecting rocket and missile launches. Since the average meteor comes in at 10 times the speed of a ballistic missile, it is not surprising that in some cases the speed of these fast meteors can be poorly estimated.”

I do not see how take home assignments, leet code questions, whiteboard programming and binary tree inversion can fun and fulfilling.

I want to explore potential co-workers, what the employer would value in me, what interesting hard problems they have, what they do for fun, how they celebrate and how they learn, if they actually code or have meetings, what I would be doing, what they need help with, what I can bring.

I think all of the above can be understood in a meeting or two and should take about 2-3 days from meeting to offer and not be stressful :)
Yes - there are enough legitimate reasons to avoid Okta that we don't need to go making more up.

The Lapsus$ incident was a disaster, and simultaneously showed a lack of technical competence, PR maturity and trustworthiness.
Farewell Stellar.org
In 2014, after getting excited about Stellar.org's vision and team, I signed up and accumulated around 6000 stellar. I even participated in the upgrade from stellar to lumes (1:1) - and then forgot about them for the longest time.

Fast forward 8 years - i took my private key and public key (GD7HMJV4QQ4H3SJTGIT7GNVBJGEUB7DIJ5XUIIC7Q4JM4PYLS5TT5F6N) to see the balance on the official account viewer and was disgusted to see zero payment history and 0 balance. No 6001.999975 STR. No XLM. Almost every initiative from that time period is now missing. Pre-slack chat - gone. Slack gone. links - 404'ing. webapps - 404'ing.

Before leaving the community once and for all - may this be a friendly reminder to communities and small time holders/hodlers to not be surprised if see things just go poof even if you have your keypair.

This post explains Markov Chains using an example 3 state system whose only resemblance to a board game is that state transitions are made from a single die roll.
The defintion of belief is "an acceptance that a statement is true or that something exists."

I blindly believe in almost everything in science. For example gravity, I don't understand gravity beyond some of its effects.

You think that's strange? Should I say I don't believe in gravity? Belief and understanding are two different things.

Let me pivot here and say "in most situations should just believe whatever the majority of experts in a particular field say is true but that has the highest probability of being true"

Okta works really well in your use case. I recommend trying it out yourself.

Since you mention YubiKeys, I’d also suggest that you try removing passwords from your setup entirely by using YubiKeys and one or more other factors.

If you don’t want to use Okta, I’m also happy to give you my take on the alternatives to consider. Feel free to reach out to me directly.
Err - OK - my google fu is failing me. What is MORF (I assume it's some kind of acronym for refactoring ...)

> UBlock Origin is not the only extension that uses the webRequest API that people use.

You are not required to install every extension in the world. Only install the ones you trust.

As the authors of ad blockers disagree with you, what evidence do you have to support your position?
>Many even now are (blower on/off) and (flame on/off). Only the high end ones have variable blowers and flame heights.

> What the study exposed is that science journalists, whose literal job is to understand this stuff and explain it to the general public, suck at their jobs.

I was under their impression the job of a journalist was to get attention of readers to generate ad and subscription revenue.

Not that I disagree with the claim that they should explain things to a general public to accomplish the above, but that's not how our system is currently set up. If doing a poor job makes them more money - that's the real issue.

There's an issue here. 80% of the global sulfur supply comes from removal of sulfur from fossil fuels. Among countless other vital industrial uses without which life as we know it ceases, sulfur is used for making lithium batteries and fertilizer.
Did you really fooled them? One common theme that I have found when looking into bitter/pungent/spicy substances was that they all had in common was that they improved insulin response and helped blood sugar regulation. Cinnamon, sumac, pepper, chillies etc. My intuition tells me that probably cocoa has some effect in that department.

No one is the villain in their own story - but if you want this bit "I am honest and passionate" to jive, then these bits "How to implement the do the bare minimum? Searching for another job is not an option at this point. I would rather wait for them to fire me." gotta go.

Either do a good job, or leave for somewhere else where you can. Anything else is not the activity of an honest and passionate person. You can rationalize all you want, some things are out of your control, but the one thing solely in your control is how you behave. Staying on a job doing the bare minimum until you get fired because you've decided that the effort involved in improving your situation is "not an option" is a choice, and not one that reflects well on you.
