I guess it's a matter of how strongly you interpret the word "significant". There's absolutely a difference between SHA1 and SHA2 which results in the attack not working; but I'd personally characterize it as a minor tweak which turned out after the fact to have larger than anticipated benefits. I'd say that the difference between SHA2 and SHA3 is 32x larger than the difference between SHA1 and SHA2.

Is it a serious concern among cryptographers outside of NIST?

Today? Not really, because we've had years of research showing us that SHA2 still seems to be safe. But when the major breaks of SHA1 were happening? Absolutely. In my "everything you need to know about crypto in 1 hour" talk I explicitly said "use SHA2 but be ready to move to SHA3 if needed because the attacks on SHA1 are scary and we're worried they could generalize to SHA2 as well".
I bet at least some of the vandalism of Millerite churches was carried out by recently made ex-Millerites who were mad about being duped. Of anybody around, they had the most reason to be upset. Some of those people gave up all their belongings because of the cult, and subsequently had nothing to lose when their belief system crumbled.
That's.. not a bug. Just because it's on their "bug tracker" doesn't mean it's a bug. It was a normal enhancement request.
It is because doing the calculations on the server does not scale well, so no one wants to do it, usually what happens is that all the clients have to run the simulation anyway so the devs make sure it is the same simulation and all the server does is ship what are effectively the keypresses around. this is why desyncs are such a problem.

Note that having the server do the calculation can solve some of the cheating problem, I remember a modified quake server that would not send location information if you could not see the player, which made wallhacks not work. I just got totally nerd sniped by the memory and while I can't find the demonstration video that impressed me so much at the time. I did find that it was darkplaces quake that added the option "sv_cullentities_trace" which prevents wallhacks.

I'm not sure why would anyone would trust what Musk says without independent confirmation...
But you don’t know what happened in this instance. Wait for a while to see if the van stands and/or Twitter makes a statement regarding this. As of now, it just seems that everybody on HN are taking part in a collective confirmation bias session.
Elon's content moderation decisions so far:

- no swastikas

- no continuous real-time doxxing

The people who shrieked loudest that Elon would allow hate and safety threats on Twitter are now shrieking that he's banned hate and safety threats on Twitter. @DavidSacks
I was literally typing up this message when I saw your comment. I assume that the answer is yes?

> I'm pretty naive, but would this enable one to self stream to a limited audience? Like if I wanted to just steam my desktop to <5 people. I've kinda been surprised that there's a lack of tools that can accomplish this.

It would be really cool if I could present something from my desktop, show my face, and whatever, while just handing my friends a link and not requiring them to download anything.
They're saying that Elon was very obviously lying from the start, yet many people credulously believed him.
Aaron Rupar says he linked to the Facebook page which displays the location, which he assumes is what got him banned.
I wasn't expecting to see uncanny valley translated to music today.
"unhinged pathetic ignorant fuck" doesn't seem accurate, nor fit for a comment on HN, no matter how much you may dislike him or think his actions are deplorable.

The previous poll was bad because 3x of them were basically "No" and 1x was "Yes"

New poll is heavily leaning yes regardless
Sad.

Yeah I think he's lost it - all that money seems to really have gone to his head. Really he should be doing one thing well (pick cars or rockets) and enjoying life - spending hours a day personally banning people he doesn't like on twitter can't be good for his mental health - frankly the emperor has no clothes
emacs may probably let you do this too, and better. The big problem is: You need to know emacs beforehand, which is seriously a lot, and likely bizarre to any modern person. I do, and I will likely never give it up, but I've been at it since the 90s.

In my mind, emacs suffers the same problem as TeX/LaTeX. Some parts of it are very antiquated and just don't fit into the modern world anymore. They'd need an overhaul.

But, that overhaul is hard to impossible to do without losing compatibility. And that compatibility is why you simply cannot replace emacs or LaTeX: There is many decades of features, packages, and whole ecosystems in there. Throwing that away would be a giant loss, people will always continue using it. Other editors can't catch up. Maybe if they survive for ~50 years, too?

Just to drive home how old emacs is: At one point, the popular joke was that emacs stands for "eight megabytes and constantly swapping". Yep, 8MB large software was so bloated that it was funny and debilitating.
Get out of here with the CP angle. It's not true.
Also hachyderm, which as of the last count I saw had over 30k users.

I don’t believe the parent made a distinction between the two. Presumably they used “HTTP” to include both bare HTTP and HTTP-over-TLS?
When you highlight something you can click the three dots and activate “ghostreader”
If Musk dropped off the face of the Earth tomorrow it wouldn't meaningfully affect operations at SpaceX. If anything it would probably increase productivity there.
yeah, it's pretty unsurprising, that they're both uncanny valley like a messy circus.
3D Printed House Is 100% Recyclable–Because It’s Made of Sawdust
I started a job in 2018 and someone commented “what are you still on Atom for? Everyone has moved to vs code”. So yeah it’s been kinda dead for a long time now.
Norway has the world's largest sovereign wealth fund, worth $1T. The US doesn't have one. Franklin would approve of using it to seed one.
People hate on electron, but it's a pretty amazing piece of tech if you ask me. I can turn a browser game into a steam game with basically no effort which is nice because browsers change over time and electron helps you get a working offline snapshot of something you created.
When you read "instance", think "email provider". Does it really matter if you use gmail or yahoo or protonmail or anything else? In some ways yes, but in many ways no. You can read emails from any other email provider. And if you don't like one, you can move to another.
Human ancestors may have evolved to walk upright in trees
I mean, Twitter is/was also a bastion of misinformation but that didn't stop it from being popular.
Exactly. Pragmatism has a place in this world. Not everywhere, not everywhen, but more than you might think.

Most of the people in my area don’t lock their doors. A decade ago in a very different neighborhood we had locks, alarm systems, and hyper-vigilance, and still lost thousands via property theft and damage. 5 miles away.

It would be maladaptive of me to bring the same level of vigilance to a different setting. It wastes resources and clouds one’s ability to trust. It slows you down every day.

I don’t know how I could have been more clear that I don’t endorse committing secrets to code, in fact I’ve been a champion for code hygiene and security everywhere I work. I just recognize and think others should as well that there are diminishing returns for precautions where they aren’t used. The returns can diminish so low that they go negative.

Even in the safe neighborhood, one might lock up when they leave for a trip, or make other reasonable preparations to increase security and obscurity.

Yes, I said everywhen, and yes I am asserting that I just coined it and that it’s brimming with greatness :P
> It seems like a good rule, but in this case the application of the rule seems less impersonal than it could be

I don't think it seems like a good rule. Not only is the information public but I think it is not hard to dream up reasons why it would legitimately be in the public interest to report on the comings and goings of someone's private jet.
In his new poll the majority are saying to unban the accounts now:

https://twitter.com/elonmusk/status/1603609466301059073
Everybody here seems to be jumping to conclusions immediately, which frankly seems intellectually dishonest.

Take a breath, wait for a while, see if the ban stands (or if it was some technical fluke), see if Twitter/Elon Musk comes with an official statement regarding this matter. Right now, it just seems like all of HN are having a gigantic confirmation bias session together.
I started my programming blog mostly because it was one of the common recommendations for marketing ebooks (the idea was that you could share your blog posts on HN/Reddit/Twitter/etc and hopefully readers would get to know about the books).

I don't have analytics on my blog to know how effective that was. But, I did manage to write some posts that I'm really proud of.
True, but Musk is supposed to be smarter than us mere mortals.
Damn - glad I missed all that.

I was part time staff + channel admin on various language channels ( #C etc.) until 7+ years back and avoided drama politics as much as possible.

Seems like a shame and a reason to drop into Libre.
I can't tell you how common it was or is, but I can tell you that I worked with at least two banks in Europe in the early 2000s that were rewriting core transaction processing and routing systems that were originally written in COBOL, and for which they had lost the source code. They patched the systems when necessary by patching the object code in assembler. The systems were 30 odd years old at the time. Nobody seemed to be able to explain how the source code was lost, other than that it had something to do with corporate mergers and acquisitions. The fact that they were spending millions to rewrite them was an indication of unsatisfactory they found the situation to be.
Links to androiddev.social are banned on Twitter as well right now.
You can hit the rate limit, just open 50 tabs and try to load them all at once. You will get IP banned, likely if there are a lot of cache-miss queries (querying old pages rather than recent ones).

There are many services you can use that will filter traffic and prevent DDoS. It's relatively easy to shift traffic to them if there is a problem.

Lastly the content of HN is almost entirely text, high read, very low write. Nearly all writes are behind an account, signup can be protected by a captcha or turned off entirely. The architecture means that reads can be cached, and the caching, serving, and traffic layers (assuming they are there) can likely scale horizontally nearly unbounded.

Then hacker news is full of tech folks who would probably enjoy investigating a DDoS.

DDoSing seems high risk low reward.
Building https://sqwok.im and love to have ya! Just added search and unlisted posts, more on the way.
Oh boy. The massive leaps in logic that this study will create on HN will be the greats leaps in leap history.
I haven't used QuickTime, but OBS does allow you to record multiple things and overlay them in any way that you please. Which is why streamers typically like it. The "share window + camera overlay" is common, but you can also add templates, multiple video streams, etc. Can you do this in QuickTime? I know most basic screen recording tools you can't do this so easily.
Have you heard of “storm surges”?

I didn’t say NYC would be flooded, I said it would have significantly more sandy-like events (where the storm surge was already 3-4m in battery park city).[1]

And I don’t know how much you know about tides given your above comment, but starting out a meter higher usually has nonlinear effects on how far inland waves can travel.

I was a noob when Atom was new and I remember thinking it was unusably slow. Took a minute to realize that I had loaded my entire computer's directory, not just the project I was working on.

"Any account doxxing real-time location info of anyone will be suspended, as it is a physical safety violation. This includes posting links to sites with real-time location info."

While you did not embed the link itself, that nuance is a distinction without a difference as the intent was still to share the location to a site with real-time location information, which as stated, will result in suspension/ban.
I am gobsmacked that the market share for Unity and Unreal is "only" 61%. I am interested to know if the remaining 39% is made up of other third party engines or independent engines predominantly.

Godot is definitely a positive light in the future of game engines, and I am hopeful for its future. At the very least, even if it all goes wrong, you could still use the standalone godot executables for years to come without any SaaS nonsense.
To add to everything else people are reminiscing about, here's Atom's very fun announcement trailer from 7 years ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y7aEiVwBAdk
I think of it as about the same as the recent complaints that Elon Musk posting 'prosecute Fauci' means he is responsible for Dr. Fauci receiving death threats, or whatever the actual consequence was of that. That is, the idea or information already exists and is publicly available to anyone, but it has been 'amplified' here and this makes it much more serious.

(I disagree with the logic in both cases.)
For better, certainly. Electron has in particular been an enormous boon for Linux users, because it's so easy to make cross-platform applications now that even companies who wouldn't have bothered otherwise now have a Linux download. No way that apps like Slack would have a Linux desktop version if it wasn't for Electron.
> I would be grateful if they monitor the database for some horrible queries; and, use their knowledge of which deployments made that bad query, to file a ticket to the right team so they fix their code or add an index or whatever is necessary.

What you're asking for is:

a) SRE wrote an alert for slow queries, because slow queries affect all shared infrastructure users
b) SRE gets woken up at 2 AM by his alert
c) SRE sees Dev wrote a bad query
d) SRE files a ticket for Dev
e) SRE goes back to sleep
f) SRE gets woken up at 2:30 AM by his alert, because the query fired again
g) SRE has a restless night
h) SRE goes into work, asks Dev to prioritize the ticket to fix the query because sleep
i) Dev tells SRE that maybe it'll get into the next sprint, in the meantime the alerts are SRE's problem

No thanks.
If I'm going to use an "all in one" reader app it needs to support comics and graphic novels.

$7.99/month

This seems rather steep when there are already reader apps that do cloud bookmarks for free.
Does this also check for private keys - SSH, OpenPGP, X.509 etc?

Also what about 2FA secrets like TOTP/WebAuthn?
But what value is that, over the website?
https://archive.ph/J5Fz8
Yeah, it was public ADS-B data. A lot of the suspended journalists never even posted his location, they just posted about the situation or the supposed stalker incident.
Ah yes, the old "anyone who disagrees with me is a conspiracy theorist / racist / fascist" trope. Do better.
Not only did he restart the poll when he saw “Now” winning, the new poll still has “Now” winning by a hefty margin.

He posted these after a very brief appearance on a Space hosted by journalists. I can’t blame him to leaving —- talking to the press right now is a lose/lose for him. But what was he thinking, joining in the first place?
Ex-Twitter worker gets prison time in Saudi 'spy' case
I'm a happy user of Atom as my daily driver for basic note taking and scratch pads. Even though it's being sunset, I look forward to using it for years to come.

Perhaps it will have a good fork one day, but honestly it works great as-is. Sometimes software reaches a point where it just works, and you appreciate not having a team that wants to change everything.
Tweeting publicly available information is not “doxxing”.
There is now no good use for twitter other than steering people off of twitter.

The fediverse is where microblogging should happen now. We should collectively turn our backs on twitter. Twitter needs to collapse into nothing.
Huge thank you to Atom for birthing VS Code!

To this day Atom is the only editor I've written an extension for, because they made it so easy and accessible.
I think it's time to step away from social media for a while. I'll stick with Twitter as long as it delivers what I perceive as valuable insight, but in general there are better things to do, especially heading into a rough economy. Things are going to get weird anyway with these generative models capable of generating passable tweets and articles.
Many places where COBOL survives, it survives because of at least one (sometimes more than one) mega-failure in which management spends tens of millions on replacing it with a new system written in Java/.NET/whatever, only for that replacement to turn into such a complete disaster that it ends up completely abandoned and the whole development cost written-off
The new poll also has a 24 hour timer, so 'now' is effectively a 1 day ban. I kind of suspect the length of time has other motivations (but that's really just me being cynical).
It's a new policy.
Advertisers don't care if some users are banned or if the platform is 'unfair'.

Advertisers care if their advert shows up to something illegal or bad for the brand.
They should have the option to suspend themselves
> I'm just saying they were part of the system, and when they stopped working the system failed.

No, when the last one finally succeeded in what it intended to, the system failed.

The last coup in Turkey hanged 10,000 left wing politicians, intellectuals, activists, trade union leaders, and basically anyone who opposed neoliberal wave that was sweeping the west. The ones not hanged were either jailed for decades, or banned from politics.

The result was a totally far-right slanted landscape in everything - from economics to nationalism to religion. In this environment the Islamist factions prospered because the coup government and its successors used Islam as a 'counterbalance' to those pesky left wing ideas that hampered corporate profits. It didnt take ~20 years before all of these resulted in a hellscape in which poor people had only Islamist organizations to get any support from because practically the entire country was privatized, labor protections loosened, wages bottomed and social services were gutted for tax breaks. The result is the Turkey you see now.

In all respects, the current government of Turkey can be considered much more representative of the poor majority than all the post-1980 governments of Turkey since with all its problems, this government at least does something for the poor majority - either through the scarce social programs that are left, through its municipal governments, or through the Islamist organizations that are associated with it. Financial aid, food aid, education scholarships etd - all of which are described as 'bribes' by the secular minority - things that they took away from those people in the post-coup period neoliberal craze, leaving the these segments were left to rot. Which is the reason why those segments will never let go of Erdogan and his party and vote for any competitor.

...

Think of the last coup in Turkey like the Chilean coup against Allende.
Electron is essentially an operating system that runs on every operating system, so you can target just a single OS and your application works everywhere.

> "Own" in this context means be responsible for.

I understand this, this is what I was trying to direct my distaste at. Unfortunately, it seems to have been misconstrued by responders.

> you own and are responsible for the part of that service delivery

No, I'm just responsible for that part of the service delivery. I own none of it.

I object to it in the same way that I object to hearing "we're a family" from leadership.
> low risk hack

That seems to be quite high risk hack to rely on such security through obscurity.
At 4:53 the video states clockwise curl is positive, contradicting the diagram which labels clockwise curl as curl F < 0 (and similarly for ccw curl).
In the last three months, VTI (total US cap weighted market) is +0.15%, TSLA is -48.02%.

Are you secretly deliberately making a bad argument?
I hope that this is satire. But the cynic inside me is saying, "if you say so, buddy."
Seems 100% accurate and fit for the situation to me.

You don't tank a company and your reputation like this if you're not unhinged.

You don't ban people linking to a competitor if you're not pathetic.

You don't fire the entire engineering team only to roll out a half baked checkmark, only to have to remove it a couple weeks later if you're not ignorant.

Anyone that treats other people, and especially their own coworkers, with as much contempt and cruelty as Elon has is absolutely a fuck.

Unhinged pathetic ignorant fuck it is.
No that's a fair criticism since it says "Now"

This is 2022 Twitter-brained audience, now doesn't mean 24hrs these days.
Grimes and Elon broke up, as far as I know. So that's probably unrelated?
