Note that this particular memory is often used by kernel exploits to store their shellcode. It's memory address is stable across different Windows version, the pages used to be executable, it's a huge address space, and it is seldom used for anything.

Even in the latest version, if you can get around SMEP and toggle the executable bit in its pages (or disable SMEP), you can still run shellcode directly from it.
I'm not so sure about that. Of course computers can do arithmetic operations, but this is not the same as solving math problems, proving theorems, etc.
Even mathematical objects are approximated up to an approximation error in a computer (like a differentiable manifold or a real number).
That's probably because you haven't spent enough time trying to understand the intent of the expression.

Benevolent here refers to the intent, not the outcome.

If I say "women are so caring" and then use that as a justification for why I shouldn't hire them, the result is a sexist policy with a benevolent origin.

You see this all the time with stereotypes - queer men are so good at fashion, Asians are so good at math, Black folks are such good athletes, etc. We might think these are compliments, but when they are used to deny opportunities they can be as harmful as any other stereotype.
>I don’t have to dig through some torrent sites, download it, then stream it to the tv.

You don't have to do that these days, either. There's software out there that will happily keep tabs on your favorite shows and films and download them as soon as they're available via torrent/newsgroup/etc., and then drop it directly into Plex, Kodi, or wherever, automagically.

Just like streaming, but without the cost.
No thanks. The day ads show up, my TV+ subscription will be gone. This double-dipping is ridiculous.
> I think flattening excessively pyramidal hierarchies are the only real solution for this problem, but that's not much comfort for those who find themselves derailed due to this dynamic.

although probably unpopular, one way around this is to have mandatory rotation of people between worker/leader roles, that way people get more equal opportunity to get leadership/management experience and politics would potentially be dampened because you'd be out of that role anyways in 6 months...

maybe that wouldn't work for every industry, but its something i've thought about a lot

> I could hear the hard drive spin up if somebody accessed the machine, and a little chug-chug-chug while Festival (the open source text-to-speech engine I’d installed) generated the voice. Like footsteps approaching before the door opens.

I recently put a 4TB 7200RPM Seagate hard drive into my dev box, split it into multiple partitions and mount them on /var/lib/docker, /var/lib/rancher/rke2 and a local nfs server (that used as an nfs persistent volume in my local rke2 kubernetes installation), and it's loud! It's like I'm going back to the 2000s. Accessing any services hosted in the local kubernetes platform or building a docker image would trigger a storm of clicking noises. Heck, even during idle, kubernetes is pretty chatty and would trigger clicking noises every so often.

I also had an instance of home assistant accessible from internet, but it's on raspberry pi so it's silent. My ISP has cgnat though, so I had to route all connections via my vps through zero-tier.

> Green IS traditionally an off-putting color

I don't think that's true for the reasons you put up.

Our eyes are specialized to distinct more shades of green from each other than with other colors. That's a useful evolutionary feature when you are an animal and have to hunt in the wild.

For humans that leads to the point that we're rather good in picking "unnatural" shades of green (gooish ones and self-emitting shades of green).
> I put up a free lemonade stand, and now people think they are entitled to free lemonade, and the customers never stop coming. Well don't do it then?

I don't think that's a correct or fair analogy. It's more like:

> Considering the term "privilege" (in that sense) was coined specifically in regard to male (and white) privilege, it is definitionally not "female privilege", though clearly that on its own isn't a very convincing argument.

That is indeed not a very convincing argument. A derogatory word invented by a political advocacy group is rarely useful. In this context however it was not coined specifically in regard to male (and white) privilege. It was coined in the social class struggle in regard to the privilege held by the nobles vs the common folks. The meaning was people with legal immunity or exemption from the law that the rest of the people had to follow.

That definition of the word hasn't change much since the 15th century. It is also from this period that the negative connotation occurred with the word pravilege, "an evil law or privilege".

From my limited experience, building a kernel is much different than assembling the parts from existing tooling.

> I think flattening excessively pyramidal hierarchies are the only real solution for this problem, but that's not much comfort for those who find themselves derailed due to this dynamic.

I don't see a problem. The SVP was correct to do what they did. IMO they should have fired this guy, not just threatened them.

This was a junior engineer posting about internal company work on social media. The junior engineer knew they were supposed to reach out to the public relations team (per the article); but the engineer kept posting anyway. The public relations point team was asking the guy to stop and he was refusing until directly threatened with termination.

How would you handle this? Imagine if someone in marketing started committing code and force pushing code to production? That's effectively what this junior engineer was doing with marketing.
Maybe that's because AWS' own aws-cli setup encourages you to store these credentials on disk in plaintext in a standard-named file in your home directory, and their best story for temporary roles is to invoke `aws sts get-session-token` and copy paste values from the JSON output to env vars.

It's really disappointed that aws-cli doesn't easily support this type of workflow, when using MFA and setting up multiple AWS accounts with cross-account roles are two things recommended as security best practices by AWS themselves.

Don't get me started on how you can only have a single U2F key attached to your root user.

A study finds that women are viewed more positively than men, then researchers coin phrases like "women-are-wonderful" (equally "men are bad") and "benevolent sexism" (no, it's just sexism).

Hmm, almost like it's ironic. or something. So blatantly obviously ironic, in fact, that I begin to wonder whether they were aware of their own joke. Any by joke, I don't mean social science in general or anything.
Wow, that's a messed up story.

Thankfully I haven't run into very many actual bullies during my career; though I do sometimes wonder if, in fact, I had but I simply was seldom the target (I'm male and white). I only really had one, at a company that's somewhat known for having a higher than average number of bullies. I already had a lot of experience and so was confident and a fairly senior engineer while I was there, so I tried to use that privilege as best I could on behalf of the rest of the team, many of whom were more junior or on visas or otherwise more vulnerable.

I lasted a year before moving on for better pay and less stress (again, a path open to me that's not always open to others). That manager moved on as well, but just to another team at a different location. That didn't do much for my impression of the company.

I don't know what good, if any, I accomplished in my visible and consistent pushing back against this manager. I hope some. If nothing else, I hope it showed my less experienced co-workers who might not know better that the way our manager acted was not ok, and that there are many other companies and ways of working out there.

VR headsets look dorky and isolate you from other people in the real world. I'm inclined to agree with you that's probably enough to mean it will fail to ever go mainstream.

Ironically, AR/some better Google Glass might be a hit, if it didn't look so stupid and the people pushing it were less hated. Wait until TikTok makes an AR headset and gets K-pop groups to promote it.

I used to keep my home dir on a separate partition, but I was always worried I'd wipe it out during the OS install.

Instead I backup my home dir with borg backup to drives/cloud.

I have a script to borg mount my most recent borg backup, so when I set up a new OS install, I just run the script and copy my files over from my backup to my computer's SSD.

I love this method because I can easily install a different SSD, switch to a new computer, or just do a clean OS installation very easily.

A while back the wireless charger I use for my phone stopped working, a few months after I bought it. Certain that the charger had died I contacted their support for a warranty replacement.

One of the many benefits that the metaverse introduces is immersion into virtual presences. You’d realize this if you ever tried anything more than Google cardboard. That’s not to say that VR doesn’t have many temporary downsides that will be addressed with tech improvements, but to not see its potential is the same way the internet was treated by older folks in the last century

> The www did things better than anything that already existed.

Older folks didn’t realize this since they waited a long time to actually try it, similar to how older folks treat VR today

Still, your statement on the internet was not true especially when it came to low res videos and many other flaws which we have since addressed over time. Back then surfing the internet also tied up a household’s main form of communication.
These AI tools tend to verbatim copy existing content without permission, so it's not really your content. Machine learning learns the statistical relationship of words and sentences in a way that preserves meaning, but that meaning originates from an actual writer. It's their work you are plagiarizing.

For art I think plagiarizing is forgivable, because that's what art is, you take things, you mix them up, you get surprising results, it's all an experiment. But for actual communication please don't waste my time using an AI to blow up your prompt to thousands of words, especially because you may end up communicating something you never intended.
Strictly a web server doesn't appear to would have required manual intervention in the course of those exact updates. But the point is that manual intervention is required from time to time. Also, Keycloak is very much on my TODO list to host.

> In any case, just subscribe to the arch announcements mailing list and you'll get an email notification in these cases. Not sure if I would put pacman -Syu into cron though.

That's exactly my point. With Arch you're expected to watch out for mailing list updates and running updates automatically with no human supervision is not a supported usecase. With Debian it very much is a supported usecase.

It doesn't mean that Arch is a bad distro. It just means it's not suitable for some scenarios that Debian is suitable for.
IIRC the idea is to send a chain of probes at regular intervals, and the probes would relay signals back along the chain.
If the possibility of your tooling being discontinued is a real concern for you, paying for a Jetbrains license is your best bet. Their entire business is developer tooling: IntelliJ isn't going away until Jetbrains goes under, and they're not going under until people stop paying them. Microsoft, on the other hand, could decide to drop VSCode at any point as soon as the bean counters start questioning how it's benefiting the bottom line.

And if Microsoft decides to kill VSCode, I seriously doubt anyone is going to keep maintaining it at the place where it is now. Even if someone decides to continue maintaining the base editor, Microsoft abandoning it will pretty quickly dry up the plugin ecosystem.

"It's open source, so it will always be available to me" only really makes sense if your backup plan is to maintain it yourself. In the case of VSCode, you are relying on a whole ecosystem continuing to survive after the sponsor abandons it.
Yep. And calling it "benevolent sexism" is absurd. By that same logic the bias that "men are smarter than women" is benevolent sexism.

I don't see the logic there.

The "benevolent sexism" is in regards to equating women with "nurturing" characteristics (in this specific case, that's not the only example). My poor understanding of the subject is that the problem is that you are then saying that woman need to be nurturing or they are failing somehow or not meeting expectations, whereas you might not place the same expectation on a man. And that this expectation should guide the roles and opportunities women receive. But it isn't used as a put down against men, just that people don't have the same expectation that men need to be nurturing.

The stance "men are smarter than women" is just plain old sexism since the statement can easily be written as "women are dumber than men".
FWIW all the interesting checks in Trusted Advisor (literally 100% of the good ones) are gated behind an AWS Support contract. We don't use Trusted Advisor because it's useless without a support contract, and as a small company we don't want to pay for a support contract that we don't otherwise need. I think it's not so great that AWS charges for these automated checks.

I'm looking for people with knowledge or researching the dynamics of work groups. I find there's so much inefficiency that there must be a better way. So much human waste due to bad hierarchies.

Sometimes people "badly" promoted don't even seek power, they just end up at that spot, and the heat makes them turn sour, or stiff, because there something in us that makes us want to keep appearances up (and also probably the financial benefits, but I'm not even sure, and some did say so to me, that it's worth the money)
I think as human working/living conditions get bleaker and cost of living in population centres gets higher, having an option work from a beautiful environment of your own choosing and present an identity of your own design will become more appealing. It costs a lot of money, yeah, but escapism for a month's rent seems like it could be worth it.

I don't think the experience is immersive enough or high enough resolution yet, but it will progress. When we reach the point where the limitations on legibility are the same as those limitations outside of VR then I'm sold. A perfect work environment with all the screen real estate I need, perfectly adaptable, hideable, summonable, etc? All while in whichever environment I can create/purchase? How is that not appealing?

I have friends that live on the other side of the world. Being able to each throw on a headset and work in the same environment with our ideal setups whenever we want to is tremendously exciting to me.

The biggest issue I have and the #1 reason that people aren't getting excited about this is Meta. It's the dystopian, regulated, centralized nightmare of a curated and supervised gateway to the workplace. It's the lack of freedom to own your own space, work, and visage. If I can't host my own place in the "metaverse" or craft my own representation or secure my own data, then I can't see myself entrusting a good percentage of my life to it.

Rambling thoughts, probably reading too much Neal Stephenson.
