Another alternative would be to implement Binary Transparency, and make the app only download updates whose hashes appear in an independently-run jurisdictionally-decentralized append-only log. (Rolling out such a change might take too long to help the target of the current NSL, but it would protect future users, and announcing such a feature would itself be sending quite an important message).

I suppose if your business relies on keeping its source code secret, then you could just put an "if userName == the_target_mentioned_in_the_NSL" branch into the code, so that all your users receive the same update, but hopefully someone out there would be able to reverse engineer that code (perhaps after an anonymous tip-off).

Perhaps the government would be willing to pay for a software engineer to obfuscate the code enough that this malicious branch won't be detected in time, but I think that would put selective pressure on software companies to not distribute obfuscated binaries.
My favorite way of thinking. Should be applied to question the need for the existence of the given feature or function too, and best to delete the whole stuff.
There are uses for unsafe pointers beyond FFI. In fact, it's only feasible to prove that unsafe pointers are used soundly if the unsafety is contained within a well-defined program module. (Proper inter-module 'FFI' with unsafe pointers would need something like full separation logic, which is very complicated!)
I use Newsblur as my aggregator and it solves a few of the gripes. Adding feeds is as simple as pasting the url into the add field. Their web app is pretty good IMO as well as their native iOS app. I prefer using Unread on my iPhone to read my feed and am experimenting with NNW on the Mac but will probably keep using the web app.

I agree. Their email client, Thunderbird, is an amazing open source product. They definitely have the background on how to build a top notch standalone client.
I had to laugh at one of the authors being Christine L. Borgman. I'm sure all our data will be treated respectfully when fully integrated into their unaccountable profit-driven total surveillance system.
At least at the bar listening to someone drone on can be tolerable.
Bullshitting is a centuries-old phenomena, nothing unique about our age.

Harry Frankfurt's "On Bullshit" was a 1985 essay that got turned into a 2005 best selling book. Which itself restates a thesis by Mark Twain's 1880 "On the Decay of the Art of Lying."
This happens with a lot of full time YouTubers. They optimize the facets of their performance that boost the metrics with the mainstream and it often alienates the core audience that got them off the ground.

I'm not surprised Louis has gone all in on emotional anti-authoritarian rants, it must play well with 'the algorithm', versus laptop repair.
Consider me highly skeptical of any AI models predicting biology.

The way these models were is more or less by association. There is no foundational understanding of underlying pathways or likely decomposition products. The AI models can be used as a first stage filter: generate a bunch of putative products computationally, filter them through predicted toxicity profile, and then start real testing (though you are likely leaving out solid leads from false positives).

AI can be a human assisting tool, but it is in no way sufficient for leap-frogging into human testing.

There's a troubling tone behind this article.

It's a prophecy that demands to be fulfilled.

Starting with the premise "Data is useful", it proceeds to pick at all
the ways we've failed to make it useful... and we're damned well going
to make it useful if it kills us!

Maybe, just maybe (for those that dabble in the sceptical, explanatory
game we call science) it might be that "bare data" has little use
within certain contexts... say those that by definition are on the
cutting edge of knowledge and reality, best steered by imaginative
vision of leading experts.

Data driven market cybernetics may be very useful in some industries,
such as ones with physical logistics, complex supply chains, rapidly
shifting supply sources and demand sinks. But the primacy of "data
uber alles" should not be one-size-fits-all.
Maybe a couple git reverts/rebases away from bringing it back? :)

What I could never get over... Windows Defender (and all other client-side AV) is effectively pointless if you are operating as administrator on the machine. A carefully-crafted powershell command (running in an elevated context) can completely erase all traces of Defender in seconds.

Once you get your hands on a TrustedInstaller session, you are pretty much in god mode.
It's important to understand that everything, even fairytales went through censorship / ideology conformity reviews, especially in those years ("normalisation", after the events of 1968/9). Many movies were either not produced at all or banned after production, others were heavily cut.
Yes, even fairytales had to adhere to the communist ideology - for example the poor were usually shown as being morally superior, while the rich were decadent and mostly stupid, etc.
It used to.

Now you need an extension for desktop. And I have yet to find an extension that works on mobile.

Chrome is basically the same except that mobile doesn't support extensions at all.
Therefore they can’t optimize anything.

They have 0 visibility into any of the operations and therefore can’t derive any insights or install controls.

They have no idea if:

Some professors more effective teachers than others.

Which days students buy more food.

Whether taking a given prerequisite leads to better mastery of advanced material.

If additional spend is correlated with better student outcomes.

For people in tech businesses, it’s such a shocking thing to read it’s hard to fathom how any of the leadership at universities find this situation acceptable.

Yeah. Making = mean copy is a really bad idea. I very much like the solution in Rust where attempt to move out something that can't be moved out results in automatic copy if the type implements trait Copy.

It's very elegant solution for simple, small data types. But it further occludes how meaningfully Rust is different from everything else because thanks to that = sometimes does mean copy.

Reeder does the discovery for me. If I have a URL I can drop it into the app and it'll find all the RSS feeds (main, comments etc). There's also a browser extension to add straight from there, and it'll add your Read Later list, too, I think as a feed of its own.
I remeber that Small-C and RatC were hardly usefull without tons of inline Assembly.

As proven by books like "A book on C" from 1984 (Robert Edward Berry and B. A. E. Meekings).
Good point, I wasn't thinking about the Android side of things.
I appreciate when they work well as a general purpose language.

I might need more control in a kernel. Userspace support code benefits from being in the same language and needs some systems programming features but doesn't need as much control.

I also find writing tools in Rust to be a joy.

Sorry, too busy peddling meaningless features like "Colonways" and advertising for Disney.
I bet it's just a one big wrapper anyway
Discovery: this has never been an issue for me. I simply assume that anything worthwhile has a feed, and add the base URL to my reader. Almost always tends to be true.

Clients: there are a lot. OP uses some iOS exclusive and the Instagram reader (I always found it the worst of all the post-greader ones, but it seems to appeal to IG and Pinterest people), self hosting is my favorite way.
This article seems to imply that RSS users need to manually locate the RSS feeds. In all the RSS clients I've used, I just add the site by the main URL and it automatically finds the RSS feed if there is one, and this almost always works.
I understand that this is an example for the purposes of answering the given question, but when actually doing things with 3D vertices one should be thinking in terms of structures of arrays. As someone said here already: good generals worry about strategy and great generals worry about logistics.
Typically for that you have "headless server" - a server that has no display connected, and to which you access though other means (a web browser, an app, ...) → this is Jellyfin & Co.

Then you have "servers with a display", a desktop or workstation → Kodi. Kodi does not have a client, nor a client-server architecture.

All of these applications are primarily servers.
Agreed. Whether there is rent control, the local authority should be obliged to offer to let houses at the controlled rent to people wanting them, building new houses if necessary.

There are other applications, e.g. trading, where async is a godsent (monitoring hundreds of financial instrument for changes) but any sort of GC is prohibitive.

And where you also need the fine grained control that Rust provides.

E.g. halting all async tasks immediately while keeping a single core free to execute a trade as fast a possible.
That’s not deck rust so it’s not relevant.
If they would just add the feed detection feature and add a link to subscribe in my RSS reader I would be very happy.

I don't know if I want them actually investing in their own reader. It seems unlikely to add much over the current landscape and just drain resources.
No, that is not always the answer, in fact I’d suggest it’s usually not the answer.
What? The known/accepted tradeoff of async is gaining scalability (max concurrent connections) at the cost of latency.
It was made a bank holiday in Scotland in 1871. So I imagine if it was "technically illegal" it would've been some antiquated law along the lines of those "you can kill a welshman within the city limits on a Sunday" ones that would not have been enforced for centuries.
I think this is entirely down to the mentality of the developer. Feedback that the project will achieve traction and user adoption is motivating for many of us.
I know an author who had one of her books removed from Amazon (both print and digital) because a coauthor on the book was banned for violating terms of service. I don't know the whole story of the violation, but it had something to do with posting content froma different work on their own website and asking for feedback.

How does closeFile get implemented? That is, how do you consume a linear type without having to either pass it to another function or return it?

Does every linear value ultimately have to be passed to an extern function that doesn’t follow the linear typing rules?
A question to the Rust experts, would lifetime annotations 'a in Rust have similar benefit as "in" or "in out" or "out" in Ada and other languages? With the additional benefit in Rust where the compiler can deduce those automatically for most cases?
Could you elaborate on how you came to that decision? I really want to understand how to think in graphics, and I feel like there aren't any good books that explain that.

Historically, the development of the torpedo in the late 19th century lead to the same sorts of consternation vis-à-vis the battleship (equivalents) of their day. A small boat armed with torpedoes could easily sink the most expensive ships in a navy's repertoire. But this didn't lead to the extinction of the battleship, it lead to the development of torpedo boat destroyers (now shortened to just "destroyer") that was designed to specifically target torpedo boats. After all, ships don't go it alone in a navy; they sail as part of the fleets, and if some elements of the fleet are capable of countering the threat, that doesn't mean that the big capital ship has to be capable of countering it by itself.

I'm not a naval expert either, but I would be strongly cautious of writing the carriers' obituary just yet.
I suspect this isn't the case for you since you've spent time thinking about it. But for some people, it might make sense depending on their privacy settings, which can deny fine-grained location information to apps.
This is such a simple take.

Bitcoin != FTX. There are many fair arguments to be made against crypto, but this is like saying stock market is BAD because of Bernie Madoff.

He should have just done one of those Elon Musk crypto livestream things. Would have made more or equal $ with no risk. I dunno why people try to rip off big companies like this. The Risk vs. reward is terrible. All audited and everything traced closely.

With no disrespect to anyone involved, can someone explain to me what the navy crew are doing that leaves them sleep-deprived leading to these incidents?

From my comfy armchair, for a peacetime navy ship cruising around, there is "nothing" to do, but keep the lights running. Routine maintenance, monitor foreign ships, etc. I would expect boredom to be a more significant problem than overwork. Clearly, I am missing something.

Even if satellites did have exact, continuous data on the location of a target (they don't, and in wartime there would be aggressive countermeasures being used against them), the targeting data has to be relayed to the launch facility/missile itself and the human components of the chain. Then, once launched, it takes at least minutes for the missile to reach its target. You can imagine the satellites automatically sending data to the missile in flight, but hypersonics aren't particularly maneuverable. If you're ten seconds from reaching the target and it's a mile away from where you thought, it's not trivial to reroute. And your $100M missile just explodes in the open ocean, a very expensive tea kettle.

That all said, none of this is impossible, and first tier militaries are putting a whole lot of effort into this problem; in a sense, "it's just engineering." But so far no first tier military has actually seen how their system would work in the field, and the results remain to be seen.

Particularly, if China were sure that it could sink American carriers at will, it would already be invading Taiwan.
Inability to have own bedroom is quite normal, single bedrooms are expensive.

Afaik, mandatory dorm living is rare, but again that is rare in America too. Most American students attend local state schools. Students eating meals made by school incredibly normal and incredibly traditional - it is not some kind of new development. Both in EU and America.

There are employees responsible for dorms in Europe too. The rules wary between place to place, so you would need to be more concrete regarding what "rules about how to live" you have in mind. I have seen rules about visitors, noise, time when visitors come etc. In America you have additional rules about alcohol, cause their legal underage is 21, compared with Germany 16. And this is largely legal requirement.

There is no equivalence of Greek life where you pledge to live by fraternity or sorority rules, which tend to be quite expansive ... but oddly these are not framed this way .

> At least in Germany, housing, catering and sports facilities are usually in the hands of a seperate body so there is no incentive for the university to try to use their power over students to force their use.

Afaik, with exception of PE which does exists in EU too, students are not forced to use school sport facilities. They do use them cause they are available and free or cheap.

American schools have that bundled together and the prominent expensive ones are basically mini self sufficient cities. So yes, they are under one banner.
It’s hard to compare v scale to aus scale and I’m definitely not very familiar, but googling says that v10 is roughly equal to 31 on the aus scale. Of course bouldering is also typically 5m tall or less, and it’s very hard to compare boulders to routes. I think the equivalent font grade is 7c+
Then I really hope it's just a case of the media reporting on civilian deaths, while most of the time they're avoided altogether and not newsworthy. Hopefully.
You don't even need that. AV does not know what "malware" is. It only knows heuristics from known bad ware. If I make a program in visual studio that does some bad stuff, and give it to you, defender won't do a thing about it because it's doing the same stuff good ware could also be doing.

This is why AV's are low on the list of security. Prevention is far better than detection.
RSA keys aren’t deprecated (apart from those with shorter key lengths, e.g. 1024 bits). What’s deprecated is the use of SHA-1, and in consequence the signature algorithms that combine SHA-1 with RSA. Instead you have to use signature algorithms that combine other hash algorithms (like SHA-2) with RSA. RSA itself, and RSA keys, remain unaffected.

Another thing that may get deprecated in the coming years is RSA 1.5 padding, requiring to use PSS padding instead. Again, that doesn’t impact RSA keys, but only the algorithm parameters used with RSA.

In the context of TLS/SSH, it just means that client and server have to negotiate the RSA-based algorithm variant they both support and both deem to be safe, using the existing RSA keys.
Technically you can install whatever you want the traditional way by "layering" it on your base image. I.e. just do a `rpm-otree install <package>` instead of `dnf install <package>` then reboot.

The hard/fun part is just figuring out a way to install and use the software you want without doing that, since that kind of defeats the purpose of using silverblue in the first place. In most cases, you can use a flatpak, a toolbox, or a container.

However, if you can't figure it out, there's no real harm in giving up and layering whatever you want.
Firefox used to have that functionality built in, but they removed it in late 2018
What is it you are proposing? If it were every institutions obligation to make sure, that all its instrumental functions were obvious to every potential user and keep any user from engaging with the institution under any false assumptions, nothing in our society would work.

That it not to say that scrutiny is not important. You should certainly be allowed to point at any individual function and demand more upfront transparency, over what is currently being offered. But be aware of the massive additional cognitive load you create, for everyone, when you are not just demanding information availability, but that this information is being delivered to anyone it might concern. Any individuals preference to not care about a function would have to take the backseat to the opinion, that they have to at least somewhat consider the function before engaging.

Considering how expensive this process is, "Google Chrome CrUX" would probably be pretty far down on the list for me personally, as "crucial things everyone should definitely know about before possibly engaging" goes, but to each their own.
> When the size grows there should be no more "trust" unless compiler can decipher if it is safe to use ref instead of value basing on value size

I believe that the Rust compiler at least does exactly that. Large structs will be passed by reference under the hood even if it passed by value in the code. I suspect C++ compilers do the same, although I'm not sure about that.

To be fair, deck's photo looks more like sand than rust. The trace like pattern does not have much sense for rust, but will be easily created with muddy sand.
I think the exact opposite: government should know as little as is required to provide its services, as should any company. If you imagine a company can do damage with your data, wait til a bad government has it.
None of those things translate into a specific word count goal. That's the thing I'm specifically pushing back on here. Word count goals for a journal or blog or some other personal writing project make no sense. If you have to finish a book, and there's a specific deadline that you need to have that project done by, then a word count goal can be helpful in pushing you to make forward progress towards that objective. But for journaling? A word-count goal is a cargo-cult practice.
