You could make the argument that the Enlightenment age spawned in Europe because of the vast amount of wealth generated by colonialism. And then you could make the argument that without colonialism as it happened, both the US Declaration of Independence and the French Revolution might not have happened, or maybe not in the same timeframe or with the same outcomes.

And then you could make the argument that all industrialization and social innovation that followed (such as modern democracy, medicine, space techology, computing) may not have happened either, or not in the same timeframe, or not in the same manner.

So when you start arguing about things "coming from colonialism", be aware that without history as it happened, we might not even be able to have this discussion here between people from all over the world. And that in general it's very hard to ascribe exactly which parts of today "come from" which parts of history.

I have a PS4 controller, not a PS5 controller. But I guess they did this for the PS4 controller as well? I would not have expected that from Sony of all companies.

Edit: As far as I can tell, the PS5 driver is hid-playstation while the PS4 driver hid-sony. hid-sony has had commits from at least one Sony employee since 2017, but doesn't seem to have originated from Sony.
So many words, so little information.
The problem is that "somewhat legible" is not a given and you don't know if the version that comes out of language editing (if it is still done, a lot of journals skip it to save money) is still scientifically correct.

Edit: A possible solution would be to have "good idea, please language edit and send back for further review" as an option along with "reject" / "needs major revisions" / "needs minor revisions" / "accept".
For me, the most intuitive explanation of the Fourier transform is geometric and is as follows:

If:

. you have a vector space equipped with a dot product - say R³
. you have a specific orthonormal basis of said vector space - say (i, j, k) in R³
. you have a vector V - say V ∈ R³
. you want the coordinates of V in that basis
. then all you have to do is take the dot product of V with each member of the basis (i.e. you *project* V onto each basis member).
. in other words: V = Sum_over_basis_members[ individual_basis_member * Dot_product[V, individual_basis_member] ]

And magically, that's all the various Fourier transforms are:

. the discrete Fourier transform (both signal and basis are discrete and finite, dot product is the usual suspect)
. the Fourier series (basis is discrete and infinite, signal is a continuous periodic function, dot product is the continuous version of the standard dot product, i.e. an integral)
. the Fourier transform (basis is infinite and continuous, signal is any "well-behaved" function, and the reconstruction of the "vector" involves a double integral, one for the dot product and one for the summation over basis terms)

For example, for the Fourier series:

. The "Vector" is any well-behaved periodic function (don't recall exactly what well-behaved entails, but not the most important part of the story anyways)
. The vector space is the set of well-behaved periodic functions
. The basis is the family of functions Exp[2*π*i] where the parameter i = {0, 1, 2, 3, ..., infty}
. The dot product is the cross-correlation between the function and a basis member: i.e. Integral[x=0, x=2*π, function*basis_member]
. You rebuild the function as:

function = Sum_over_basis_members[ basis_member Dot_product[function, basis_member] ]

And that's it.
Very cool! I just released a tutorial on how to do this using the computerender api!

Amazon restricting the use of purchased content the way they please, HBO removing content, just like other providers, I feel it was an essential and wise move a few years back not buying online available content anymore (have some still in my account, who knows how long can access). Same with streaming providers on beloved content, music frequently disappear from my playlists, it is a nuisance. Better managing content myself. It is common sence afterall, how could anyone trust these organizations in 5 yet alone 10, 15 or more years will still give you access the way you had and need. You better manage yourself then. More hustle but much more reliable.

I'm not sure about this. To me Gnome looks like it's a programmer's idea of what beginner-friendly UI looks like but actual non-technical users seem to think it's just confusing and switch back to Windows or MacOS.

About generic names, I'm quite sure that Apple, Google and Microsoft did some research before they called their web browsers Safari and Chrome, or even renamed it from self-descriptive but unique Internet Explorer to Edge.

Kubuntu did this generic names by default option at one point but fortunately there was an option to switch to proper nouns. Having three different apps called Web Browser was a bit odd, and at least to me the generic names give the feeling that the apps themselves are white label knockoff. But to be honest the 'k' everywhere convention feels like cheap house brand too.

I believe those were factors once upon a time, but modern cars tend to heavier and more aerodynamic than they once were, so drag is less of a factor... and the air gets warmed up prior to combustion, which minimizes the impact of its initial temperature.
They did add back non-cloud support a while ago after the cloud forcing didn't go over well, but it is a second-class experience.

The day after I set my UDM Pro up as non-cloud, it corrupted the login somehow and I had to factory reset it and redo all settings (as it hadn't been running long enough to run any automatic backups first). I capitulated and just set it up again as a cloud login to avoid having the same fiasco at some random point in the future again.

I immediately regretted going with the UDM to save (quite) a few bucks over a OPNsense/pfSense appliance to fit my requirement of handling a full 10G of WAN.

I will admit having the app to monitor usage remotely is a somewhat neat trick. I find the firewall configuration in GUI obtuse enough to be next to unusable.

I can’t discuss my former role in too much detail, but it has convinced me that all the above is insufficient in a number of very realistic threat models.

One issue is that software has vulnerabilities and bugs. I’m not talking about the software that users run in sandboxes environments. I’m talking about the sandboxes environments. I’m talking about cryptography implementations. I’m talking about the firmware running in the “trusted” hardware.

The other major issue is as you alluded to: the need to trust vendors and hardware. Without protection and monitoring at the physical level, the user has no way to verify the operation of the giant stack of technology designed to “protect them”. Without the ability to verify operations, how is the user to trust anything? Why do companies tell users to “trust them” without any proof they are trustworthy?

This may seem like a minor point, but this is really the crux of the issue. Building this giant house of cards on top of a (potentially) untrustworthy hardware root of trust does not buy anyone anything. Certainly it does not buy “security”.

Large companies and nation states are the most likely adversaries one wants to be wary of these days (e.g. journalists, whistleblowers, etc.). What good does the technology do them if the supply chain is compromised or vendors are coerced to insert backdoors? These are the threats that actually face people concerned about security, not whether or not their executables are run in a sandboxed VM or not. Great, you’ve stopped the adversary from inserting malicious code into your device after purchase. Good thing for them, they did it prior to or during manufacture.

The technology you alluded to above is mainly useful for protecting company IP from end users, IMO. That’s how I’ve mainly seen it used, and the marketing of “security for the user” is a gimmick to justify the process.

EDIT: I forgot to mention this entire class of security issue since I am used to working on air gapped systems. I don’t care if you are operating in a sandboxed VM with a randomized MAC over a VPN over Tor. If you’re communicating with any other device over the Internet, you have to trust every single other machine along the way. And you shouldn’t.

the "ref" in amazon links aren't for referrals/affiliates. They refer to something else. For instance, if you go to amazon.com and hover over the amazon logo in the top left, you see the url is https://www.amazon.com/ref=nav_logo. The actual parameter used for referrals/affiliates is "tag".

> how to make backups safe in age of encrypting ransom ware.

Versioned, offsite backups. For instance, if you have a database in an AWS account:

* Give the backup process write only (I.e. no delete permissions) to a GCP account.

* Create the backup in AWS and timestamp it

* Copy the backup to GCP using the above permissions.

* If you want to be more secure, copy the backup to a USBHDD (daily/weekly) and unplug it.
A lot of the most useful software I've made for myself has been browser extensions.

Spend too much time on Hacker News? I made an extension to freeze the front page so it updates once every 6 hours.

Spend too much time on Reddit? I made an extension requiring a password to be input for every page I visit.

Want to extensively filter LinkedIn jobs, and track which jobs you've applied to? I made an extension to apply very specific filtering to LinkedIn job postings, and to track my application status.

I do wish the Chrome extension API wasn't so annoying to use. Each time I make an extension I sort of dread the process since it's not a good developer experience, but I always find the result to be very useful in my day-to-day life.

Personally, my time in my car is some of the only pure "me" time I have, and I would hazard a guess that it is the same for many others.

A car to me is a personal, climate controlled cocoon, where I can turn on whatever music I want, have a coffee or a snack, and escape for the 30 minutes or however long it takes to reach my destination...without the chance of being bothered by anyone else, much less any of the other belligerents that you are sure to find on public transit from time to time.

I will continue to own and drive my own car for this simple fact...

IME they very much do care, they're simply not aware that a constantly changing user interface is not just something you have to deal with, like death or taxes. Every time I play tech support for friends and family it's the same story about how everything looks different yet again and how they can't find that thing that was right here just recently.

So I went with xfce which doesn't change much.

Maybe I will try out KDE again sometime.

The advantage of vim isn't just shortcuts. It's the ability to compose movements with editing commands. For example, da" cuts text enclosed in quotes. ct; changes text up to but not including the next semicolon. Every movement command works this way with every editing command.

For me, the other big advantages are staying on the home row as much as possible and reducing chord shortcuts. I used to use Emacs but pain in my left wrist led me to search for a way of editing code without Mod+Key on one hand. I have some custom keymaps in vim that allow me to move to the start/end of a line with Shift+H and Shift+L, move up/down code blocks with Shift+K and Shift+J, and page up/down with Ctrl+K and Ctrl+J. In most standard editors, I find moving my right hand to the arrow keys and home/end to be unreasonably slow and error-prone in comparison.

That said, I'm not an evangelist. I don't care what editor other people use and I'm not sentimental about vim. It's a dinosaur with a lot of legacy cruft and I would switch to something else if I could reproduce a similar setup.

Again the STX Arrow is literally the only crosse with that particular design AFAIK
