I understand where you are coming from, but I think at the end of the day, if there are people on $platform who are willing to contribute, that's all that actually matters. If there aren't enough users, there will be nobody to support it, so it dies. In other words, it not about how much one platform "matters" over another to some users.

We can't expect people to work for free to support our platforms with no benefit to them.

If you really care, I guess donate some hardware, or pay some developer to work on this, or provide support yourself! I know that sounds rude but it is what it comes down to.

It seems like in this specific case X11 will still support whatever exactly this feature is but will put it behind a config option. The idea above applies in general to open source work though.
I've been using it and Google in parallel and have find it generally helpful, but I've had multiple instances where ChatGPT completely made up new library functions. Same for others I've talked to.
Turns out I misread part of the protocol.

I mixed up "b" stored by the server in the registration phase and the "b" used in the online phase. In that case, the adversary can't compute either b * C or c * B (by probably just CDH).

This being said, there's a more technical problem with the protocol as-is with how the OPRF is used. Currently, the adversary can malleate the OPRF messages resulting in a valid/invalid session between two honest parties without the simulator being able to distinguish between the two cases. This comes from the perfect blinding property of 2hDH and is discussed in the OPAQUE paper[1].

There may be other problems, but _most_ of the protocol passes a quick smell test.

Sorry for any confusion!

-- EDIT --

I'm not really surprised that this problem came out as the JKX compiler is quite nuanced (more so than the paper immediately lets on). So I definitely suggest walking through the proof before applying this protocol anywhere; however, the current protocol seems like a good jumping off point. I think there also needs to be a clear reason to use a SPEKE derivative as the aPAKE building block.
Yes. What do you think of this rephrasing?

Very true. As a teen, before I could program, I would dream up applications that I thought were cool (like an alarm clock application that plays a .wav or .mp3 for the sound!!1) and yep, it involved a gui.

My first programming books were for qbasic and basic and I was like, huh, where does the clicking stuff come in?

Then on irc or a forum, someone pointed me to visual basic and I never looked back. Plus, all the hard stuff like media playing and file picking was a built in control that I could use.

Later, in AP comp sci in high school, they were teaching us the swing ui stuff for java, and that was ... painful by comparison. Kids in class has no idea how easy it could be.
I get your point, but not all monopolies form from network effects.
Your comment implies it will break on anything that's not "Linux on Intel/AMD", but that's not the case. Most architectures are either little-endian or support both little- and big-endian (although not all operating systems support little-endian on a bi-endian architectures, e.g. I believe AIX doesn't).

I'm willing to bet that the number of big-endian systems amounts to less than 1% of all systems running X, and the number of those that use X forwarding is a subsection of that. I'm big on maintaining compatibility, but it's a fairly minor break which benefits almost everyone and affects very few people.
Fully agree!

> I can't imagine many teachers feeling this way, seriously.

Even the most well-intentioned teachers behave according to their incentives.

I didn't say everything. After all, I work on D for free. But you simply cannot run an organization with tens of thousands of people in it and expect excellence when there is zero incentive for excellence. It just ain't gonna happen.

Teacher pay is 100% based on length of service and which college degree. Nothing else. Nothing. It matters naught whether a good job is done or not. Even if one wins "Teacher of the Year", it is worth exactly $0.

OK, let's look at earth's oceanic heat vents.

A chemical soup and enough porous rocks down at the bottom of the ocean to operate as reactors powering endothermic reactions.

These are spread across the entire surface of the earth.

If, by chance, some set of reactions occur forming molecules (or groups of molecules) that catalyse their own formation, then you have constrained self-replication.

Once you have this - and you only need it once, there's an exponential (s-curve really) boom in the prevalence of the chemicals in question.

Any changes to these molecules that preserve the self-replicating nature of the soup will be preserved to an extent and those changes that improve self-replication will not only be preserved but will begin to outpace the parents.

If, for example, I stick a little hydrogen on the front of a structure it'll develop the ability to trace along ion lines.

A chemical soup that hunts its own food.

Of course, these mutations can lead to divergence - which eventually leads to a pseudo-competition.

Step by step, piece by piece, complexity builds up.

Structures integrate and develop the ability to funnel 'food' to where it needs to go for transformation.

And if it is possible for this to happen, then given enough time and enough distinct reactors, it is not simply possible - it is absolutely inevitable.
There are Interstate and US highways, both of which are federally numbered. Interstate highways have more stringent design standards and can get more federal funding in general.

The warnings problem is nicely solved in Rust:

• There's a built-in way to silence specific warnings for specific portions of the code. When the compiler is wrong, instead of obfuscating the code to hide it from the compiler, you can directly mark "I know what I'm doing". Standard C can't do it, and compiler-specific #pragmas are much more clunky.

• Builds of dependencies automatically suppress lints, so builds with a -Werror equivalent won't break on someone else's code (that you may not be able to fix), just because your compiler has added new lints.
Hypocrisy is mischaracterized conveniently to suit the discussion points presented. It also relies heavily on gaslighting people into believing it doesn't exist when it obviously does. Especially concerning the Internet and politics now more than ever. Many news and social sites thrive off of hypocrisy and gaslighting users.

Hypocrisy has nothing inherently to do with being born into wealth or influence, but the ideal that one was born into it, or earned it as some kind of a chosen "superior" soul in this kind of world is more like what hypocrisy is. It's ages easier to be a successful business mind if you are born into wealth, but then a huge failure if people think that business acumen translates into political skill, because being born into wealth can also provide a limited understanding of empathy for people who are not wealthy (happens more often than not).

Hypocrites work to convince the world that they are born leaders, when in fact they often are trust fund babies and children of influence under cover. This secretive wealth path works hard to stifle opportunity and entry as well as upward financial mobility of others, and it creates all kinds of special fraternities (schools, neighborhoods, and even actual membership clubs) that seek to unite one class and exclude other classes, often based on race as well, despite the world's constant and overly emotional denial that racism still exists in these forms.

To revel that anyone is powerless in this day and age is flippant, and hypocritical in a day and age where Democracy and Free Speech are supposed to preside. Even the wealthy class that now runs many Internet and social media businesses work hard under cloak to suppress equality and that free speech of others not deemed "worthy" of having a voice on their platforms, while they regularly display hypocrisy in saying that they support freedom and equality in all of their TV appearances.

Hypocrisy is the number one threat to our future, It should not be taken for granted as a serious failure of character in those who practice it.

My read is that Apple would very much like to move in the opposite direction where more people are in a locked down walled garden environment. I think if anything we’ll see macOS slowly moving more toward an iOS experience rather than enabling less lockdowns on apple devices.
Ideally, yes. But in the absence of wholesale reform, this does look like a pretty reasonable solution that could be implemented quickly.
I recently started a project in pure C (coming from writing C++ professionally for a few years). I love it. Honestly, the biggest advantage for me is the massive reduction in mental overhead. In C++, every single line introduces something to think about: is this a reference or a value? Does this incur a memory allocation? Is this copy expensive? Has this been moved from? It’s all a huge mess.

Contrast with C: none of these problems exist (well, maybe the copy one if the struct is big) I can focus on implementing my design, even if it does take a bit more typing.
Another confusion on my part, above the protocol Sc00bz writes:

I don't actually use Affinity much, I've held off purchasing a license at least until it gets to be fairly safe to run it on linux. I don't do much editing or art creation anymore. Just the occasional small edit.

For v1, this PR fixes saving: https://gitlab.winehq.org/wine/wine/-/merge_requests/1444.
There very well be more missing code, things in file menus or tools that I haven't tried. But if you build wine with this patch, it should run and save.

With v2 they seem to have made the big shift to windows store, which probably requires a lot of winrt junk.

To run v1:
1. compile with this patch
2. run regedit and set the renderer to vulkan (see https://wiki.winehq.org/Useful_Registry_Keys)
3. install dotnet48 via winetricks (maybe corefonts too)

I spent a half dozen evenings trying to implement stubs and interfaces for v2, I've got it running, but it crashes if you open the edit menu for example. I'm not the best c developer, and honestly its too much work when there isn't some finances behind it. I have a job too aha. (not to mention wine makes it even harder because they require you write all the dll's in c, but most of the windows code is c++, so its a bit trickier to re-implement things from their headers)

But we are... the product of code, read by machines, processing input to produce decisions.

How are not information processors ? Do you think computers are not a natural extension of us ?

There is absolutely discussion of life as information processing, for instance Stanislas Dehaene is super interesting but I ve heard conferences in biochemistry explaining why all amino acid would work to code information, but the 4 DNA uses have chemical properties that help persist and clone it better and the like.
Considering that is how our public school system is run, off of unpaid teacher hours, I highly doubt it.
There is "code as art" where the code itself is art. A while back there was a program floating through the nerd community that was C code laid out in the shape of a giant C, which actually compiles to a valid program.

Then there is "code as an artform". Think code golf, or other such challenges that encourage incredibly creative solutions.

Then my personal favorite is simply "beautiful code". Sometimes an algorithm or a function will just be elegant in its construction or simplicity. Sometimes you have a real hairy problem that seems very complex at first, but the solution ends up as a small, clean function with no frills, no bugs. It's about beautiful solutions more than the text of the code.

Code can be art, but it usually isn't. The first two categories are something done intentionally as a form of expression, but the last is more akin to a sunset or a rainbow. Sometimes beauty appears when we don't intend or expect it. But I think that still qualifies as art.

You mean companies never fail and go out of business? It happens all the time.

Did you read in the news recently that Amazon axed Alexa? Because it was losing $billions?

Besides, it's rarely possible to tell in advance whether a new product line will be successful or not. The thing to do is try it and see. If it fails, you axe it. If it succeeds, you put more investment into it.

It's like a TV series. "Yellowstone" was wildly successful, and Paramount is pouring money into prequels and sequels. "The Time Traveler's Wife" didn't do well, so no second season.

Exactly as free market principles predict.
There are code execution vulnerabilities in common software, including the kernel and your favorite browser, probably at least once a month, and likely more.

You can go checkout a CVE listing website if you don't believe it.

The thing you may be not thinking of, is that the software itself doesn't have to be intentionally designed to be malicious for it to do harm. Lots of software is written in memory unsafe languages and is full of nasty subtle bugs that can be exploited.

There are also supply chain issues, your favorite open source project's maintainer might have their github credentials phished, and code to do something nasty sneaked into an otherwise normal seeming update. This has happened and is not just a theoretical scenario!
After a week of storms the reservoirs had moved from 33% full to 34% full.

Try and make a refactoring for something that has no unit tests, or upgrade a db for tests that directly validate the values in the db. I'm not sure I get where that claim that mocks lock-in implementation is coming from, if anything they make it less locked in.

I don’t understand. If you can’t run the workloads you want why in the world would you buy one?

“But it could! It has enough power! All they would need to do is overhaul the OS, open the file system, and… Well ok it would probably be easier to add touch to MacOS, how hard could it be? Well ok, to do that properly would take a lot of work but I’ve got it all figured out and Apple is stupid for not….”

Every time people complain about how “crippled” the ipad is they inevitably point out some task that is perfectly suited to a laptop. On top of that, the laptops are less expensive and now have longer batteries. Apple has made the ipad very good at touch and pen computing with a very safe, simple OS. If they stick to that paradigm that will preclude running IDEs, servers, databases, and running arbitrary code. Most of the complaints boil down to MacOS not having touch which I don’t understand either but I wish people would just give the crippled ipad narrative a rest.
I don't know if there is a technical name for it, but I call the grip you describe as the "fist" grip.
