Interesting how all of these "security content" documents frame the bug fixes as "improvements." For example, in this one:

This issue was addressed with improved data protection.
An out-of-bounds write issue was addressed with improved input validation.
A logic issue was addressed with improved checks.
The issue was addressed with improved memory handling.

Makes it sound like data protection, input validation, checks, and memory handling were fine. But now they are better. Whereas the truth is that they were bad and led to data leaks and remote code execution.

As it goes with improvements, they keep coming.

Wouldn't it be better for Apple to own up to the fact that these defects are indeed defects, and be transparent about what measures they are implementing that prevent such defects from being added to the code base or from being exploited?

Google wrote about the former a couple weeks ago[1] and Apple itself is not doing badly in the latter department.[2]

Ask HN: What's your go-to bug tracking tool, and why do you prefer it?
What's your go-to bug tracking tool, and why do you prefer it? Are there any key features that you feel are missing from the tool you're currently using?

I've been using Sentry for the past few years and have found it to be the best bug tracking tool in terms of user experience. I think, what I like most about, is definitely UX and the versatility of integrations it provides.
Just because many users are currently comfy in their Apple bubble does not mean that the bubble should be allowed to exist.
> The harsh truth is that the very people who are responsible for telling people to panic are, in fact, not panicked at all...

True. Or, at a minimum, they aren't doing anything concrete that you would expect if they actually believed what they're saying.

> ... and are using fear as a smokescreen to take absolute control over the entire world (zero hyperbole in that statement).

Zero? Really? I'm calling baloney on your claim here.
You could define soul as the fuel engine for life, which is basically burning carbon. As long as that furnace is functioning you're alive == you have a soul.
Mars is easier to send material to; gravity and rotation are also better there.
That's kinda a bogus concern. As-is, Facebook can already declare that they're moving all WhatsApp clients to their New Web Version and remove all the versions off the App Store. Same goes for the rest of their apps, and it's fully possible on Android too.

But, they don't. Realistically there's no reason for them to exist anywhere besides the App/Play Store, as long as those platforms play fair. This is a real strawman argument though, considering it's fully possible in the status quo. The problem isn't Apple or the government, it's that Facebook already has a disproportionate amount of control over your life. Apple cannot save you from that with a software update.
LosslessCut does work with HEVC, but the GUI doesn't support playing them so it generates a low-res H.264 video to use as a stand-in for previewing and then does the actual cuts on the real file.

I mostly use it for cutting up clips from an older GoPro so I don't run in to this often but I did borrow a Hero9 recently and it worked fine, it just was a bit less streamlined.
If this happened before her trial, she might have walked imo.
One thing I've done to identify infrequent log entries within a log file is to remove all numbers from a file and print out a frequency of each. Basically just helps to disregard timestamps (not just at the beginning of the line), line numbers, etc.

cat file.log | sed 's/[0-9]//g' | sort | uniq -c | sort -nr

This has been incredibly helpful in quickly resolving outages more than once.
There are core and optional components of KDE. kactivitymanagerd is a core component, so it reverse-depends plasma, that's true.

> You didn't actually try this.

No. I tried this and did more. Like using Debian for 15 years, KDE since 3.5.x days or leading a Debian derivative distro's development for 5 years, and deploying that derivative nation-wide from thin-clients to heavy metal.

> It makes me annoyed that you think you can go on the internet and just claim something and expect it not be verified; what a bunch of nonsense.

Same here.

Let's not project our prejudices to others unchecked, OK?

So Paul le Roux, by the message?

> 1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3 is Hal Finney's (Not Satoshi's) address.

Where do you get this?

EDIT: I am proposing not that Paul LeRoux is Satoshi, but that he is in possession of Hal's key, and produced that signature as a troll.
Yes. Definitely.

Disclaimer: I don't often use a modal text-editor like vi/vim, I use one like emacs that employs control-codes. ('jstar', a clone of the WordStar that I've been imprinted with for nearly 40 years)

All UNIX systems have vi/vim built-in. It pays to have a working knowledge of it, even when it's not your everyday text editor. It's got me out of a few emergencies with recent installs over the years. (Broken /etc/fstab, anyone?)
you assume that the rest of the internet aren't just chat bot instances talking mindlessly to each other?
Because South Korea is successful at what it does. If South Korea looked like Thailand it would be a different story. And that is part of why it doesn't.

The Russian invasion of Ukraine is actually a good example. Just the other way around. What is happening to Russia is exactly what happens when you neglect your industry and population to the point that you no longer have enough of an advantage in equipment or people willing to fight. Something South Korea can't afford.
For some types of apps, sure. But if you look at the list, the ones that sting the most are kernel or video parsing errors or similar. I am just not seeing these being implemented with anything else than an efficient, low level programming language. At least not for the foreseeable future.

But what it may do, hopefully, is getting rid of all that audio/video/photo stuff from the kernel. One has to ask why a video encoder can leak kernel memory in the first place. (This was rhetoric question, we all know why. It is just not sustainable to put more and more stuff into monolithic kernel as you add more silicon to solve some CPU/GPU intensive problems because it is just easy.)
I have a GMX account and I'm neither. A few decades back they were one of the few free email providers offering POP3 access.
Ballon framing filled with insulation and covered with insulating sheathing is far more energy-efficient than old walls made of brick, stone, or concrete in the winter. That's why in the freezing northeast of the USA, it's all balloon framing -- while in sunny Florida they can build with cinder blocks instead.
Honestly though, I'm happy he talked more in this situation. We shouldn't decry people who acted horribly unethically digging their own legal grave.
It will pass eventually since Big Tech are hell-bent on banning one of their biggest competitors from Western markets.
Nevermind whole classes of apps like NewPipe and F-Droid.
1) Not all signatures are on chain. All that is needed is to post the signature somewhere and verify it with the message and public key.
2) Whoever has the private key can produce the signature, and the signature can only be produced by someone who has the private key (assuming the cryptography is secure)

Sure it seems that way now, but what happens when a volcano appears under their house and it floods with lava? Or they go to war with the elves?
Hal Finney is dead, his keys were used in 2017 after he died in 2014.

Somebody knows his keys == nothing said to have been done by his key can be demonstrably proved to be him, even back to the beginning: how do we know when his private key was compromised?
Why not? It is our own choice. If you do not like it, buy a Nokia.
I do it all the time, first cutting up my long GoPro videos in to the actually interesting segments and then merging those all together. Works great.
Yet another example of the Facebook boogeyman being trotted out in an effort to explain why lack of user freedom, lack of consumer choice and anticompetitive business practices are actually good for the customers that are being fleeced by them.

This didn't happen on Android, macOS, or Windows, despite all of them allowing alternative app stores.
As of right now, and barring any future misfortune, this is a great feel-good story for any engineer. These guys brought their passion to life and created something unique and special that has been meaningful to thousands upon thousands of people over the last 20 years. It feels great to see them succeed in this way, and I hope they can continue to work on this for as long as they enjoy it. Congrats to Zach and Tarn, wishing them all the continued success.
I'm not really seeing any convincing numbers there. Mercury lasers seem to only be 10% efficient. I get that this is better than the lasers that were just used at NIF, but that still seems pretty far from useful.

If they’re smart they hopefully have incorporated and will only need to take money out of the corporation to pay themselves to cover their expenses. So they won’t pay tax on the full amount up front and will have most of the money pretax for future business expenses
They should incorporate an LLC and do some legal loopholes to keep more of that $$$
Lol “spacex makes trucks”. Way to throw on the anti-Musk blinders and completely ignore the back-half of the comment and misunderstand the first half.

> Does this indicate that they intend to charge more people in the organization under RICO laws?

No, there are no RICO charges here, and if SBF isn’t getting RICO, I doubt underlings are.

These are just regular conspiracy charges. It is possible sonenir all of the other alleged conspirators will be charged with conspitacy, though.
The analogy is apt in at least defining a separation between the overall complexity of what SpaceX produces compared to NASA, to say something of how the two different models of R&D work, but maybe off in degrees as you discussed.

"NASA makes precision scientific instruments and SpaceX makes precision scientific instruments that have higher tolerances with a higher focus on throughput, and there are rapidly diminishing returns in how much funding can be used to close the gap" is probably the right take if not as fun.

Most barns / barndomminiums don't bury the wood - they pour concrete footings like any other normal structure and then use steel stand-off brackets proud of ground level to ensure there's no wood in contact with the earth. Then yeah, tripled up LVLs are common as well;

> Also they have winter to deal with.

Europe doesn't really have winter compared to North America, unless you're making a quip about their energy crisis ;-). Compare someplace continental and ridiculously far north like Rovaniemi, Finland to, say, Fargo, ND; the latter has colder winters, despite being 20 degrees of latitude further south. And yet everyone in Fargo builds with stick frames.

A well-built and well-maintained wood house can last multiple generations and keep warm in the meantime. Though, granted it's probably more expensive to maintain than equivalent masonry.
The radiation flux in low earth orbit is also much milder, about 1/4 what you would be exposed to en route to Mars.
Good read! Aligns a lot with everything happening with the IndieWeb community[1] (including social readers[2]) and what I'm working on with Haven[3]. The additional piece (I know, more parts make everything harder for everyone) is using these tools for _private_ sharing. That's been my focus--publishing RSS with http basic auth for access control--while keeping subscribing as simple as copy/pasting a URL or using a browser extension that recognizes RSS auto-discovery[4].

$2m in the bank is enough to easily draw $100k/yr from interest, which fits the GP’s “set for life if we make wise choices” IMO. That is way above median income in wealthy countries. Assuming you don’t try to live in SF!
This is a privileged perspective, typical of the HN crowd. Good for you.

There is a segment in USA who are basically permanent renters and don't have the luxury of extra money to put in to stocks and bonds. They might "own" a car as their asset, and it rapidly loses value. If they have extra money in their checking account, the ex and child support enforcement go after it.
> you could have a business where you install unapprovable apps for people

I've heard that there's somewhat of a black market for this already. One person buys a developer subscription, then signs apps for other people so that they can sideload them using something like AltStore. Then, Apple sees that many apps have been signed by one dev account and shutters the account for terms of service violations. Finally, someone else registers a new developer account and the process repeats.
Congrats to them! Very rare to see people who follow their dreams no matter what their field become millionaires.

On a side note, I feel like I should like Dwarf Fortress, but every time I look at it, it seems completely daunting.
Honestly, that's fine by me. Epic made the game, they process the payments, they're not using the Google Play Store's services and storefront at all (not to be confused with Google Play Services), so why would they pay 30% simply to be on a store they don't use?

Same as on a computer, I use Windows, but it'd be absurd for me to download software only through the Microsoft Store app.

As I understand it, iron is the first element that absorbs energy under fusion, and therefore won't fuse further. Could be wrong, though.
1. 1Q2TWHE3GMdB6BZKafqwxXtWAWgFt5Jvm3 is Hal's address, so that means the message was written by someone with Hal's private key (not from Satoshi's).

2. Hal died 2014, that address last sent btc in 2017, so someone else (estate?) had access to the private key. I wouldn't be surprised if the private key got leaked (maybe even sold), so it's entirely possible that someone else signed that message (and recently at that).

3. Not sure if there's evidence that Hal even knew who satoshi was

But yeah, crazy... I verified the message too, I just don't think it's conclusive evidence of who satoshi is/was

Interesting and important note from playerTwo in the comments.
Moreso: they managed to put in 0.6 kWh of the highest grade of energy imaginable, and got out 0.9 kWh of hot neutrons, the lowest grade of energy imaginable (short of neutrinos).
> Prior to sheathing, the framing is downright rickety!

Some IKEA furniture, such as their cheap bookshelves, are an amazing example of this. Basically it's a rectangle that wants to lean into being a parallelogram, and it readily does, until you tack up the backing piece which is like 1mm cardboard with dozens of nails. Cardboard that would bend, twist, rip, etc. in many directions, but works perfectly at keeping that parallelogram rectangular! Same idea with sheathing/framing.
Also, the author of that book brought up the link to Satoshi. It's in his interest for the idea to be out there. Nobody would be looking up this book today, otherwise.
This... isn't quite right. Balloon framing as traditionally defined is all but non-existent anymore. The author is smooshing concepts together.

Balloon framing was purely a method of convenience back when consumers were able to get their hands on 30-40 foot framing timber. As such, it was only popular during a limited window when sawmills were popping up across the West and virgin old-growth forests were being clear cut.

The author is using "balloon framing" to describe the entire concept of modern framing. But if you start throwing around "balloon framing" to describe modern houses you will at best get weird looks from contractors and at worse draw the eye of fire inspectors.
This is where I think it probably should be. Solar w/o another generation or storage source doesn't accurately represent the full picture of what is really required to support the a whole day of electricity. So the combined total cost is probably what should be shown to represent the costs of a full day cycle of solar, or a rainy day.
Why? (Not saying you're wrong, just... explain/substantiate your claim.)
Ultimate Security in the form of preventing extremely sophisticated physical access/evil maid attacks[0] benefits people even if they don't think they need this security.

How do fusion bombs achieve "ignition"? It's not with lasers, right?

Also, couldn't the net energy from the ignition be used to continue the reaction, so you only need the lasers for startup?

Sorry for the newb questions, just curious.
This is one reason why it's important to not try to do too much over RSS. The question isn't "can we re-implement every social media feature using RSS," it's "what is the minimum amount of interop we need in order to for an ecosystem without gatekeepers to flourish," which hopefully will make things bearable.

Besides that, I also think this problem can be ameliorated to some extent by using and developing open-source feed parsing libs like Python's feedparser rather than using a plain XML parser and doing the rest yourself.

>Why would an app move exclusively to some alternate pain in the ass store if the users don't want it?

Moving from one store that takes a 30% cut to a store you own makes a lot of sense if you can carry over at least 70% of your paying customers.

There are pictures of CAD and experimental setups for the targets. They’re also pretty open with the setup numbers, so in theory, you could make your own NIF setup and try to get their target designs working.

From what I understand, a lot of the work from the past years has been trying to piece together geometries, pulse timing, stability, and quality of targets.
I don't think this is a correct representation of the interview. Sorkin starts by reading a letter from an FTX customer that directly accuses SBF of stealing. The next 30 or so minutes are repeated follow ups on commingling of assets between Alameda + FTX, and Sorkin highlights past statements SBF made that seem to contradict with current reality. Sorkin even has this:

SORKIN: I think the question is whether you supposed to have access to these accounts to begin with. If I worked at a bank and was a bank teller and I decided to leave the bank at the end of the evening and take the cash that I ostensibly had access to, even if I intended to bring it back to the bank later or with even more money to give them back — I still stole that money.
