A big slap on the wrist. Still, the same people stay in charge with the same incentives in place. Instead of paying engineers to solve the problems, they can simply hire better lawyers and focus on fine minimisation in the future.

And once that 10 billion is divided up between all the victims, it will hardly be worth anything at all to them either. So many victims, so much harm, it's barely a drop in the bucket.
This is _exactly_ why it is important.

Most of what you write will be skimmed or not read at all. The only way to increase your odds is to make your writing engaging (to improve chances of it being read) and clear and concise (to improve chances of comprehension).

Another oft overlooked skill is to know when to repeat your message in multiple places, and how to do so without it being irritating or noisy or irrelevant (see also: when not to write anything at all). Again, this increases the chance your message gets across.

Great points. Thank you for the links. The one trade off here is that uncompressed blobs will require longer downloads than PNG and I think usually the network transfer is slower than PNG decoding.

But maybe the sample gist takes a Tiff blob and encodes it to a PNG on the client and then maplibre decodes the PNG to canvas. That would be quite inefficient if that's what it's doing.

In Apple's defense, it is still two of those things. (No longer slow though!)
I wonder if it'd be possible, at this level, to create an E2EE voice connection between two devices.

I'm not familiar with the stack or the voice data stream through the hardware.

If code in the blob is responsible for encoding maybe it would still be possible to use a methodology similar to video mpeg where the raw data producer is aware of the blocking scheme and can formulate the data in a way that it is not compromised by encoding.

If the stream is encoded in userland I suppose it would be quite a bit easier.

Another feature this makes me ponder on is if perhaps you could send arbitrary data over the voice channel (if the above is possible, this should be). Since most providers these days provide unlimited voice, you could proxy your internet traffic to a second device located elsewhere and gain unlimited data, as well as perhaps reap the benefits of the steganographic nature of the channel.
Your PR was not ignored, and the author explained why they could not merge it as-is.

Some "new" hdds are absolutely insanely loud.. I got some recently where having 3 in an otherwise quiet case made them very audible from the other end of the house! I sent them back.

Looking at the datasets for the WD Red Pro for example, there's idle/peak dBa from 34/38 for the 10TB to 20/32 for the 20TB

34 dBa idle. Are you kidding me?

I ended up settling on the 18TB btw, as that's all there was at the time, 20/36 dBa.. and quite happy with them, and they're "normal loud". Noticable sitting next to the pc, more so when active, but not from more than a few metres away - and ZFS doing a scrub no longer sounds like a an industrial accident either, so thats nice.
> They argue that ChatGPT's ability to produce detailed summaries of their works indicates their books were included in datasets used to train the technology.

If ChatGPT can reliably answer "what happens on page (x) of book (y)?" that would provide fairly convincing evidence, as summaries or study notes on a random book are unlikely to be that detailed. Moreover, if this approach worked consistently, it would enable the entire book to be summarized - or even rewritten - page by page.

Newton died 300 years ago. What have developments in astrophysics contributed to “real world” problems in the last 50 years?
The frustrating thing about these testing discussions is that they so often boil down to extreme positions, such as:

- only write integration tests

- only write unit tests

- never use mocks

- mock all your dependencies

- always use fakes instead of mocks (or the other way around)

- always use factories instead of fixtures

- unit tests can only test a single class/method

- there can only be one assertion per test

and so on.

What gets me is how divorced from the pragmatics of our tests these discussions are. It's as if we don't apply the same nuance to our test code that we're comfortable applying to our main code base (namely, that different parts of our code may require different coding styles).

First and foremost I wish testing wasn't treated as such an afterthought both in education and in actual practice; many developers say "I don't check test cases in code review", but badly written tests are as much a maintenance burden as other bad code.

We should work towards an understanding of different techniques and styles in testing, just as we cultivate an understanding of architectural patterns. When having to write - or maybe refactor - tests, we should start with a set of leading questions: what is worth testing more, the logic of the component itself, or its interaction with other components? is the external component that I use regular and predictable enough that I can get away with a shallow fake or is it weird, stateful and complex, so that I should run the tests against a real instance (e.g. a test container)? how can I write the tests such that they're comprehensible and maintainable? how can I write them to be as fast as possible while still giving me the guarantees I need? if I have a set of tests that are particularly hard to work with, or are really bad at catching regressions, how can I fix that and make the tests better?

Yes, that may mean that more time has to be spent on tests. But the alternative is messy tests of questionable value which slow down progress and don't catch enough regressions.

This is pretty uncharitable. Applied category theorists aren't really part of "applied math" in the conventional sense (numerical linear algebra, HPC, operations research, and so on) and they're not trying to be. The thing they're applying category theory to is CS theory.

If the Broader Impact statements or their equivalents suggest otherwise, well, that's unfortunately how the funding game is played. If you took them at face value you would think all the molecular biologists are curing cancer and every theoretical physics research project is really just a training program. Maybe this reflects poorly on our institutions, but it has nothing to do with the intellectual merit of the work.
check containers too.. but good idea regardless as it's bioaccumulative so less exposure is better
> drive-by system takeover isn't on your threat list?

How would that "drive-by system takeover" happen?

AFAIK, Windows 7 came with its network firewall enabled by default, so most services wouldn't be exposed to the network. And that network is often a local network, with another firewall separating it from the rest of the Internet. For many users, the only exposed attack surface would be the web browser itself.
At my previous employer, our (very small < 10 dev) team was on a rotation with 2 devs per week. All devs were required to be on call (which I think was the correct decision - makes us ship better code because we don't want to be supporting its failure!)

Our head of engineering gave us 1 day time off in lieu (TOIL) per week of on-call support. I was pretty happy with that as comp.
Frontline has a great mini-documentary calling out the very real privacy and trust violations Amazon faces today: https://youtu.be/RVVfJVj5z8s.

- Ring allowing data access to all employees, and to police, without customer awareness. Amazon also created a special interface for police to access Ring footage, at will, in exchange for police departments pushing Ring devices (https://youtu.be/RVVfJVj5z8s?t=4702).

- Alexa as listening devices in very personal and private places, for which Amazon employees can listen and view "for training purposes." Dave Limp is on record explicitly stating this is false; "it's not a listening device."
(https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVVfJVj5z8s&t=4490s) And then ambient intelligence rolls out, right after this interview, where Alexa doesn't actually need a wake word to "hear" requests. See also: Ambient, Proactive Alexa (https://www.aboutamazon.com/news/devices/amazons-new-head-of...). Make no mistake, Alexa is always listening.

- Dave Limp also skirts accountability for the "cute indoor Ring device" that was hacked and scared a child to her very core, stating it is an "industry problem" (https://youtu.be/RVVfJVj5z8s?t=4783).

Notice how Dave Limp's eyes dart both in the "Alexa is not a listening device" and in the "we've already investigated that [the Ring hack] to make sure what the root cause was," along with the lip bite in the "Alexa is not a listening device" clip. Following the question on Alexa and Ring contributing to a dystopian Orwellian reality, notice the swallow after Limp states that "he doesn't want to invent the technology that would create that world." And then the dismissal statement of "that world happened before Ring or Alexa."

Watching people lie is fun.

- Amazon Rekognition (https://youtu.be/RVVfJVj5z8s?t=5002) uses Ring data as training data. And then markets that to law enforcement.

Andy Jassy himself states "with any technology, the people that use the technology have to be responsible for it, and if they use it irresponsibly they have to be held accountable" (https://youtu.be/RVVfJVj5z8s?t=5147).

Production and toxicity is less than 1/2 the story. We don’t need to let large quantities of every single chemical into the water supply. That’s where they really fucked up.

Florine chemistry has been killing chemists and factory workers for hundreds of years, but reasonable precautions let people use many horrifically toxic substances without significant issue. Yet for cough some reason people keep a thing like new = safe when by default it’s been obvious that stuff containing Pb or F is probably risky in some situations.

It's normal to be compensated for this.

At Google my team got $1600/wk because of the required SLA. At a startup I worked at, we didn't get paid extra, but we got an extra day of PTO for every week on call. (This is technically pointless, as we had unlimited PTO, but we did the rotation Thursday-Thursday and specifically didn't have meetings etc. on Friday so that the 2 people that were oncall last week could take a day off and not miss anything.)

Frankly, I preferred the cash. Many people on the team didn't want to be oncall, and so that meant more money for people that didn't mind, like me. It was good at the time, but certainly not for everyone.

Big companies with critical services do 24 hour oncall by having 3 offices and by having the oncall folks only be on call for their normal 8 hours. (12 hours is also somewhat do-able.) Even with this setup, extra compensation is expected. You can't go for a walk, or take lunch away from a computer, see your doctor, etc. And, you probably weren't going to work the weekend. So even 8 hours oncall requires compensation. I believe the Google SRE book goes into detail on the strategies that Google uses; SRE teams and SWE teams have different models.

At startups, this doesn't really work, because you're by definition a big company by the time you have 3 offices with dedicated SRE teams. (These places might call themselves startups so they can underpay you, but ... they're not.)

If I were starting my own company and needed oncall, I'd just expect that the founders/executive team take on the off-hours duties. You're the one whose company goes out of business if you have a bad outage. Being mad at some underpaid software engineer after the fact doesn't bring your customers back. And basically, it's unreasonable to ask people to be oncall. Some people with no life will do it, and they appreciate the cash, but other people literally don't have the ability to be available 24/7 unless you hire them an employee to take care of their kids or sick relatives or whatever.

With tech looking like a seller's market again (thanks AI!), I don't think you'll be able to build a team of talented and experienced developers if you require oncall. So get ready to do it yourself, or pay accordingly.
While true... That doesn't mean it will actually be any good at what it's trying to do. VR/AR is truly at the edge of our current technological abilities - Apple can have done everything to the best standard possible and still not be good enough here.
>If a line of code doesn't look like a function call, it's not calling anything.

In C, if you for example write past the bounds of an array or otherwise do something that causes UB, there is no guarantee that the code you wrote in the source file is actually going to be what's ran.

If an attacker can clobber the stack (for example), the control flow you see in the source code and the actual control flow of the program are not the same.

In the worst case, an attacker can get your program to execute arbitrary code of their own choosing!

Maybe some consider this unrelated to the no implicit control flow thing, but I think when UB caused by a trivial mistake can alter your control flow, you have much bigger worries than an operator being sugar for calling a function.

I consider UB and arbitrary code execution exploits to be a case of implicit control flow!
Not OP but pretty much in the same boat.

> Was it better before, when everything had carte blanche to do what it liked without your knowledge/consent?

Yes.

The caveat is I'm using a very stable set of programs, that I spent a long time to decide if I was OK with giving access to a lot of my critical information. I'm using Karabiner since it exists, and it's a worse experience and performance as it is now than when it was running unprotected and full carte blanche. Same with Bitwarden, it already has all my life's passwords, giving it access to read my screen is just an additional annoyance.

At some point VSCode could also go rogue, but I'll be more worried with it leaking my SSH keys than recording my face when I'm coding.
Technically, of course they are all encodings of the same thing (and can be transpiled into each other). The domain specific languages (DSL) crowd seeks to find the optimal encoding for a given problem. Sometimes this is quite blatant e.g. Go is essentially a DSL for webservers.

The Racket heads (PLT) focus a fair bit of effort on this, but I'm not sure if it's really a productive/fruitful development paradigm (although the book Beautiful Racket is lovely, and SICP through the compiler building etc. clearly implies the same direction.) On the other hand, Python etc. are just c wrappers!

Personally I love the usability of KDE, the speed (and information density) of the file browser, and love constantly discovering little "touches" of polish as I use it.

However, the thing that's killed it from being my primary DE is the inability to wake up from sleep on more than one occasion, resulting in me losing work. It's not happened to me on Gnome. (This is on Fedora Workstation on an AMD ThinkPad X13).
How do you drum up interest in expensive bit of tech with few apps and many undesirable drawbacks which limit its adoption to enthusiasts and in turn interest from third party developers? Pretend its exclusive and hard to get I suppose?

The opinions of Rodney Stark are neither unkown, uncontested, nor definitive.

At best they are niche and contraversial (admittedly it's the phrase "revolutionary and controversial" that most commonly appears on his book reviews).

I spoke of modern capitalism which is a well understood term, as acknowledged by bandrami.

If you wish to speculate on undocumented pre history then it's reasonable to assume that work from home predates first documentation and goes back as far in time as large works with small parts existed.
So how much is it interfering, and how much is easy to mitigate? The limit should probably be a little higher than zero.

> In a study, published in the Astronomy & Astrophysics journal, scientists used a powerful telescope in the Netherlands to observe 68 of SpaceX's satellites and detected emissions from satellites are drifting out of their allocated band, up in space.

Huh? If you "use a telescope to observe the satellites", that's not proof of interference.
The risk is that the baseband could be implementing similar features that this userland adds to the "distro" running on the modem (call, data, and SMS recording), and these features could be driven by signals from the cell network. Unless you have a tap on the data egress path to the RF section, it would be difficult to know if data like this was being exfiltrated from your device as it completely bypasses the host's stack.
Not sure about that. Desantis seems to be having a jolly good time of making up random stuff and everyone going along with it.

For anyone wondering if this works, the EPA seems to think it does:

>>> High-pressure membranes, such as nanofiltration or reverse osmosis, have been extremely effective at removing PFAS. Reverse osmosis membranes are tighter than nanofiltration membranes. This technology depends on membrane permeability. A standard difference between the two is that a nanofiltration membrane will reject hardness to a high degree, but pass sodium chloride; whereas reverse osmosis membrane will reject all salts to a high degree. This also allows nanofiltration to remove particles while retaining minerals that reverse osmosis would likely remove.

>>> Research shows that these types of membranes are typically more than 90 percent effective at removing a wide range of PFAS, including shorter chain PFAS.

Someone reading the code should also be capable of understanding the problem that it solves and documenting the use of the code. If your code is fairly well written, I mean.
I guess we can’t escape it. Hopefully it’s not too harmful.
> don't instantly nuke the account if a payment goes astray or delayed

Hetzner deleted my server just one week after my payment due date. My credit card failed the payment for some reason. I didn’t notice this because I was ill with Covid. They sent me one email (or at least, I received only one email) as a warning. I only realized the server was gone when my services stopped working. I’m not sure if such a short warning time is common practice among hosting companies, or if it’s unique to Hetzner.
Normal vises just have jaws, but this one looks like it has teeth.
I think the key here is that we can't trust regulators, though I would certainly welcome their contributions...

Perhaps what needs to happen is engineers developing a cheap rapid test where it becomes possible for consumers to become aware enough of the invisible problem that it becomes possible to advocate for a solution.

At the moment, we are left fighting ghosts, some of which may not be real. How are we to hold cities responsible for their water when it's possible they are part of the good 50% as far as we know?

What if the bottled water we buy to avoid pfas has higher concentrations than the tap? We are powerless to even hold manufacturers responsible.

Actually Yugoslavia and Pre 1978 Romania were not that bad. They produced a lot of their own things. Yugoslavia had a strong economy with lots of industry. Same for Romania and their prospects for oil development.

The issue came in because the US wanted to break up the soviet bloc so the World Bank went to town and made sure that happened.

We will never know what would have happened if Tito and Ceausescu would not have been squeezed by debt and foreign interference.

Maybe the reason you don't see a good example of Communism besides maybe China/Viet Nam is because the west is actively engaged in making sure that doesn't happen.
I am not writing socket code. I am trying to get residential customers to the websites they would like to visit.

Maybe it wouldn't have made it any better to expand the header and change the version but then again maybe it would have. Why even have the version value in the header to start with if it is always going to be set to 4? What is the point?

I have to keep dealing with ipv4 until companies like amazon and github and every little smb that has a vpn stop. It would have been amazing yes had they designed ipv6 differently and just increased the header and address sizes and added a padding value for the high bits. We could have front padded all of the ipv4 32 bits at the router level and made it almost seamless to the end users.
Nope. The machine's behind a router and its own firewall. Most JavaShit is disabled in the web browsers. Why would a drive-by attack be in my threat model?
