> We have partnered with Tencent WeChat to scan for their tokens and help secure our mutual users on all public repositories and private repositories with GitHub Advanced Security.

This is GitHub scanning private repos and telling WeChat about them.

WeChat can already scan public repos.

They are not already screwed if they’re publishing something to a private repo, it might be the wrong way to do it, but it doesn’t mean they’re already screwed.

If you don’t trust GitHub’s private repo security then why are you using it in the first place?
Mankind is being retarded by committees manned by supposed gurus that are actually just Karens who circle the wagons and beat the dead horse of insisting that the rest of the world is just a bunch of racist ableist hicks.

I dont think the platform move was.. a cause of Apple's troubles, it was mostly poor product planing, marketing and OS related issues (which were not really made better or worse by the ISA move)
Mmm, interesting.. may I ask what is it specifically that your company does? Would your users (or is it customers?) be “calmer” if they could potentially see and control the data you keep on them? Are those complains/anger leads to churn?
Looks like the multi-billion dollar fine tactic is indeed a working strategy.
Twitter is a human psychology problem, more than an engineering problem. Get someone who learned the ropes early on how to approach human psychology issues and preferably someone with heaps of empathy and is a natural empath.
That’s fair, compelling uses of quadratics are legitimately hard to find, and usually it’s not significantly more costly to go to cubics. Here are few more reasons I’ve collected: the quadratic is easier to explain and understand, useful from a pedagogical perspective; quadratics, unlike cubics, have an analytic rotation minimizing moving frame (a normal and binormal that minimize twist along the curve); quadratics can be analytically sampled in steps of equal change in tangent angle (very handy for drawing, path rendering, tessellating for GPUs); and quadratics are much easier to ray trace (using a swept-circle or swept-sphere formulation). Ray tracing a swept-sphere cubic is solving an order 10 polynomial, while the quadratic is order 6 - but you can reduce the order to 4 with some constraints, which suddenly allows it to be evaluated analytically (in theory), while the cubic is permanently stuck in iterative numeric methods. One of the reasons I liked investigating the quadratic B-spline is because it suddenly makes clear that the order of a B-spline is nothing more than a smoothing factor. Quadratic and cubic and quartic are all the same curve, more or less, just successively smoother. Maybe that’s unsurprising, but from a practical point of view, it can allow you to reduce or increase the order without changing the high level behavior of your curves. Anyway sorry to geek out, I was just curious - I’ve done some work in ray tracing of hair, which is what led me down this path. I did not use quadratics when I worked in games or films, but looking back on it, I think there might have been good reasons to consider it especially on lower powered hardware, maybe for simulation and procedural animation more than hand-animated stuff…
> I'm a staunch supporter of libre software, but I don't see the harm.

The harm is we're still perpetuating DRM crap. The music industry has accepted that Spotify's DRM can be trivially broken and completely given up trying to police BitTorrent... it's time for the movie industry to realize the same. Sadly, Netflix failed to get enough dominance to bend over and cane the movie industry into submission, and regulatory agencies worldwide just accepted happily that movie studios went all-in on vertical integration again.
The actual title of this article is "The warrior monks who invented banking", but there is a fairly extensive literature on Roman banking dating back at least 1000 years previously:

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

In particular, the Sulpicii of Puteoli left some records of what look like modern banking practices:

https://www.world-archaeology.com/books/bankers-of-puteoli-t...

> "Much of the business of the Sulpicii consisted of short term loans, of amounts ranging from £1,000 to £20,000 and for periods of up to a month – for the sake of simplicity, I am reckoning a sesterce as being the equivalent of £1. A number of loans took place at auction sales – for these were a large part of the activity of a Roman forum – a Roman forum must have been very much like e-Bay. A banking house would manage the auction and supply immediate payment to the vendor, but would allow the purchaser several days to pay; if more time was needed, this could be provided at a cost."
The linked documents are still Markdown.

If I understand it correctly, the use case is to link existing MD notes visually. That's a different way of looking at the data than the two-way backlink approach that was the foundation of Obsidian (and other personal wiki tools).

I'm interested in this, as I currently use a combination of Obsidian + SimpleMind, but currently SimpleMind has more features (full fledged mindmapping app), and I like having two separate spaces to sketch out ideas.
The discourse around policing is another one. Eric Adams addressed this in his recent op ed on moving the Democratic primary to South Carolina: https://www.cnn.com/2022/12/13/opinions/democrats-2024-prima.... Adams writes that the move could help “address[] the concerns of all people of color and working-class people, many of whom feel the party has misrepresented their beliefs.”

Adams is talking about white political elites rather than white academics, but as Elizabeth Warren illustrates, there’s a lot of ideological overlap between the two.
Thank you for your additional feedback. I replied to your comment below, but to reply to your additional feedback here:

There is no organization behind Veonid — it's just me who designed UI/UX and bootstrapped development of it. Currently, Veonid costs me $0 per month because services like Vercel, Hasura and Clerk are completely free to a certain extent. If there is more than 5000 monthly active users, it will cost just $25 per month for Clerk, and that price I can easily pay for 1-2 years without regretting. I plan to try to include some premium features in the next few months with a goal for Veonid make at least enough monthly income to pay for itself.

Of course, there is a risk of any app shutting and no guarantee that anything will remain for years and decades, but what I can say is I intend to keep Veonid hosting up for at least the next 12 months even if almost noone uses it. With more users, and especially if there are premium users at some point, I intend to keep it much longer.
What concrete, legislative privileges do I get as a Canadian immigrant living in the USA that an Indian immigrant living in the USA would not? That's unquestionably what's under discussion here, so please be as specific as possible, Chuck.
Data Teams' Outlook on Data Warehousing in 2023
And it'll just get worse when these kids grow up and become academics and make these lists even more overbearing. This is a stretch but I really don't have a hard time imagining a world where professors have to have a minimum amount of political pins/patches/posters/etc ("flair" a la "Office Space") to keep their jobs. Because as we all know, silence is violence.

The more of this we normalize for children, the worse it'll get as they grow up and do the same.
Huh? The M1 Ultra does use multiple dies according to sources. How's that different from what others call "chiplets"?
>somebody will have to maintain the mountains of C++ that all the younger devs don't want to learn

Don't know how old you are but why do I have the feeling that by the time you're 60 the following could happen:

"The AI tool subscription we have is already trained on the mountains of existing high quality C++ code written by seasoned graybeards such as yourself, so thanks for training it, but sorry sir, your services are no longer required." "Watch this: Hey ChatGPT 9.0, fix this codebase. Done." "What we're looking for is devs experienced in the latest MonkeButt frontend framework as it just came out so there's no trained models for it yet." "Enjoy your early retirement sir" :)
Yeah, I did read it. I see what they try do. I just don't believe it will work.

This judge rejected an anti gun law. Next-up: scotus will reject certiorari

Even in the unlikely event that it will end up on the scotus calendar, scotus will no doubt find it much easier to defend a constitutional right to bear arms, then to reject abortion, which for better or worse, is not mentioned in the constitution.

Besides this court has ruled against precedent many times now. I don't see why this stunt would make a difference. (see e.g.: https://theconversation.com/the-supreme-court-has-overturned...)

Bottomline, I'll expect this to further women's right only indirectly by serving as publicity for Newsom
there are aspect of copyright law, and ownership of that image (this is work done inside google) that a minor, which eventually be an adult have no control.
Additionally, minor images can be abused (I'm leaving at it, but you can assume that some AI breakthrough in generative imagines can be abused)
I use it daily for my company's API. It's still the most productive framework I've used, and I've used full stack Typescript too (i.e. the wild west).
I used APL in university and later on during Y2K conversions (fun stuff), but found out much later on that APL was the de-facto language and interface to of one of the first microcomputers - the MCM/70 [0]

I would encourage people who are a little technical to try creating their own solution to the problem that Pinboard.in tries to address. I did this with a similar ethos (simple design, plain html, no external js libs) and I've been running it for the last 2 years very happily.

In fact, I've said on HN a few times this year how I could never go back to anything else after the lived experience of using such a key tool that is built to do exactly what I want.[1]

a built-in KVM

My Philips 34" ultra wide has a built in KVM and it's great. Keyboard and mouse are plugged in to the monitor, my linux workstation is plugged in via HDMI and then I can plug in a laptop via USB-C and just switch between them by pressing a button on my monitor.
The primary other I looked at was an Intel NUC.

I also use several raspberry pi for some smaller iot things, but I find it is nice to have one decently powerful server to run a whole bunch of services on.

It also has two external 8Tb drives in software raid0 that I use for my NAS storage.
But won't people be labeled conspiracy theorists (or some equivalent) the next pandemic as well? The authorities will claim it's safe and that'll be good enough for a lot of people.
I am really excited about the possibility that Rails finally get something in the way of ActiveDeployment. This tweet https://twitter.com/dhh/status/1604856555848884225 and the commited changes make me wish and wonder.
And there's nothing saying you have to use it, this doesn't remove the regular notes.
You can now control Matter devices with your Amazon Echo
Not a purchase, but a discovery: my Kindle (EDIT: Fire) 7 2017 can be rooted[0] and loaded with LineageOS[1]. Now, it's fast enough to be a pleasure to use. I read email newsletters with it, play music from my Funkwhale server, and watch some videos.

About 2 weeks ago, I re-flashed it without Google Play services. Last week, I put a slideshow app[2] on it to show pictures of Mom at her wake.

I dont think you can claim an API key is your information. It is quite by definition information created by WeChat and Github is sharing only that with them a few minutes before it shares it with bad actors.
Word lists, ai, free speech, Orwell, NLP, newspeak, the great firewall, FBI in every social media, feds riddled throughout our newsrooms, shadowbanning, content moderation, needing karma to post, brigading by special interest groups, Epstein, social credit rating systemS, no fly lists, warrantless search… I don’t like the future.

That is fantastic! I've never been satisfied with Draw.io at a cross platform option for this after getting so comfortable with OmniGraffle in my OSX days. Can't wait to take this for a spin.
My pet theory (which I'm sure is not original) is that absolutely all intelligent life, through AGI and/or genetic engineering, eventually converges into an undifferentiated super intelligent state.

These super intelligences continuously decide, for one reason or another (but always the same reason(s)), not to expand their presence into the universe in an invasive way.

Maybe it would simply be unnecessary for them to do so, or maybe they consider it unethical, or maybe they do it but in a way that is undetectable to non-super intelligences.
There's no paradox. Technological civilizations destroy themselves relatively quickly. That's becoming painfully obvious.
My last interaction with a black bear (trying to get into a trash can, naturally), I saw the bear, the bear saw me, and we both quickly went our separate ways.
Coincidentally, I was thinking about this about a week ago. If you look at my post history my career traces a pre-ipo FAANG where everyone knew how to spin up a service and connect it to the internet (think bootstrapping 101). I had a thought experiment last week where if I were to ask this to new grads entering FAANGs, the majority of them probably would not be able to elucidate the steps required.
Further because a sufficiently powerful compression+encryption scheme would be indistinguishable from noise, how would we even know any pattern is or isn’t a natural noise or an artificial noise?
I was pretty sad to see the pattern matching PR reverted for 7.1 [0], but I guess the Rails team wants to make sure they nail the execution (?) even if that means being late to the pattern matching party, which is arguably one of the best additions to Ruby since the 1.9.3 hash syntax.

For now, I'm good with the little gem that kddnewton put together (https://github.com/kddnewton/rails-pattern_matching).

Making a law with the express intent of having it overturned, is not what I'd call lawmaking.
Bold and odd. I read Under the Skin. Excellent and innovative sci fi, but nobody goes that far and spends that much even for a Kobe beef burger. Even here on bloody barbaric Earth, weapons exist mainly to keep trade from being disrupted and the largest military has an environmental compliance department.
I don't take their comment as dishonest at all. I take their claim at face value, as you should. It isn't fair to immediately discredit someone when they express a fear of your words becoming ever more violent. I think you should look inward and ask yourself how you can do better with your discourse in the future.
How is this different from Figma?

my only issue with Figma is navigating through the screens once you create this gigantic canvas.
amd overclocking is fantastic with corectrl. they added (recently) overclocking the memory. but amd performance on linux is much better than on windows.
For me it boils down to- would an advanced civilization beam out a very strong locating signal on purpose? They would have to be very certain they were the baddest strongest civilization in the galaxy. I can’t think of a way intelligence and that idea go together.
Yea that is just not going to happen.

I have dated so many divorced and separated women that just couldn't deal with the video games anymore. Way more so than financial problems. Financial problems didn't make them feel actively and completely ignored day in and day out.

Almost like the ultimate aphrodisiac in 2022 is a guy who hates video games.
Also consider that real videos and CGs are "shot" by 24 fps, but 2D animations aren't shot but drawn by human. Animator decides what picture should be an inter frame.
I'd like to find statistics on this. I'm less familiar with Texas than Florida, and my firsthand experience with Florida has me curious. I drove from Georgia to South Florida recently and saw lots of new development, including high rises and other multi family dwelling all over central and south Florida. Even the single family neighborhoods I saw were on average denser than what I am used to in Georgia. Florida may not be developing at the same density as NYC, but it is not all single family homes either.
Which is the whole point. The offense is the context, not the word itself.
What's the alternative? YAPF is even worse - it will flip flop between styles even on the same version! Its output is much less attractive, and there are even some files we had to whitelist because it never finishes formatting them (Black worked fine on the same files).

Not using a formatter at all is clearly worse than either option.

It’s not just public repos, it’s private repos too.
It took a solid 4 seconds to display the text on the first screen. Holy moly so many requests just for this one paragraph.
I run much heavier networking equipment (enterprise routing/switching + rack server) but I also host at home using cloudflared on a slow DSL connection. It works very well and the CDN's caching helps with my low upstream bandwidth.

You aren't tied to Cloudflare in the sense that there are other CDN services to choose from, each with their own pros and cons. With the servers on your own infrastructure you can choose the provider you like and easily switch between them. I also have ports forwarded for services that I don't want to proxy.
Great to see so many new features in Rails. Tbh, one of the reasons I use it for certain backend projects is how simple to do complex things.

Managing files and image variants is a pain when developing a site. Rails make it easy and even adds more features around.

However, I still think the UI layer is too coupled to the backend. Webpacker was a try, but I understand why it's deprecated. I would go on supporting common frameworks, even if it's just a template to organize the code.
There is obviously no single sorting criterion for people. I do agree there is a huge moral hazard where people in privileged positions (eg college administrators) want to fall back on a less-relevant "identity" to deflect legitimate criticism.

Ultimately, it's not about the person, but rather what you're attacking. Are you attacking their position and policies, or are you attacking their ethnicity? The former is punching up, the latter is punching down.

If you're attacking their ethnicity because you don't like their policies, that's essentially still punching down, and makes for a terribly ineffective criticism of their policies.

If you're attacking their policies because you don't like their ethnicity, you could be trying to punch down while cloaking it in an aura of punching up. But your criticism would still need to be evaluated on its own merits regardless. It's likely that your criticism of the policies won't be that great, and people will see right through them.
Sorry to say but this is an absolutely pointless article without an inch of any useful or coherent information/opinion.
George Lewis Ruffin, America’s first black judge, described Phillips as “wholly color-blind and free from race prejudice.

Just saying that would be enough to damage or destroy Ruffin's public image in today's climate. In the religion of identity politics, racism is original sin. If you're a member of a group that's currently considered white pretending you haven't committed the sin is committing the sin.

I really wish there were more people interested in addressing racial discrimination without hammering a wedge between races. Tell people day and night they're on a particular team and there's nothing they can do about and sooner or later they'll start playing for that team.
My point was that you're never going to find consistent principles in a group that's really a coalition of the persistently unhappy, beyond "this isn't progress".

- I didn't know this is the expected behavior of FF

- I'm paranoid about getting locked out of certain accounts by stupid accidents (particularly on badly designed web sites). I temporarily copy old password too, when changing to a new one.

There's some nuance there though. Doubling down is (almost) always a stupid move but it isn't always stupid people that do it. It's rooted in insecurity which is independent of intelligence.

It's definitely not cheaper, but it's much better for the environment. It is clear today that digital pollution happens mainly during the production stage rather than the using stage.

It literally says, all over the documentation, requires Spotify premium. Spotify’s docs say that things like this require Spotify premium. They also very clearly enumerate features that are only included with the premium tier, which this provides. Without saying too much, the modification is very clearly to remove a “did you play us, if not die” check which is quite intentional.

You should be aware that this thing where you pretend to be confused because you don’t like the answer is a pretty weak defense. You might be impressed with your mental gymnastics, but I assure you that the court will not be.
