A new monitor can be had for cheap, yes. But a new CRT monitor cannot be had for cheap. If you have reason to prefer a CRT, repairing a monitor you have is probably the least cost option towards getting a working CRT.

Many people don't have reason to prefer a CRT, and that's fine too. Lots of non-CRT options out there to use.
Other "brown" languages: COBOL and FORTRAN.

But I don't think that the amount of legacy code influences that much the love or hate for a language.
Using an image classifier on spectrograms is pretty funny. Not a bad idea, given image classifiers are dime a dozen, but still.

There is no non-commercial clause of the MIT license. They are allowed to fork it and change the license while not giving up the source.
I don’t think waronprivacy knows what exposé means in this context. Rather than addressing the very obvious implication that you meant a description of how a publicly traded company creates policy they found opportunity to talk about posting pictures of people’s homes online. I’m assuming they would’ve brought this up if you’d posted any other triggering key words like “newspaper” or “journalism”
The cause is that DNA mutations makes the cells go "feral", and turn into a new mono-cellular species that invades the body. DNA can be damaged in several ways, by UV rays or mutagenic chemicals, but it can also happen during cell-division. Any type of damage, even micro damage, the body sustains means that cells have to start dividing to repair it. But cells also continuously divide to replace old ones even without damage.

So all in all, it's just a matter of time until you get unlucky, something goes wrong and you have a cancer.

HTML and CSS are very forgiving for non-compliant code. I can morph the webpage at will by using <div>s everywhere and then manipulating the appearance in CSS. If I want to add data to the dom later on, I have a billion different ways to do so using javascript.

Compared to, say, XAML, where some elements can only have certain types of children, auto-populating data has to go in specific containers, and all the XAML tags map to actual C# classes, It's a much more strict, far less forgiving, and far less flexible syntax
I wonder how much it costed to install that ad, like wtf
Right, but again, you can do exactly that with breakpoints (especially if they can print and then auto-continue), and you can change your output, adding or disabling them while still running.
I'm not saying this is morally right or anything, but the other reason is to cause the spyware company's current and potential clients to lose faith in their reliability as a partner.

It's one thing to pop one of these companies and dump their tooling -- they'll just get a new set of 0-days if that's part of their MO and keep selling the tools, maybe changing them a bit to evade AV detection if that's a concern.

It is another thing entirely for their client list and the identities of their client's targets to get leaked. That's the sort of thing potential customers of these companies want to avoid at all costs.

All that said, I think they could have achieved much the same effect by just dumping their client list and maybe quietly (and privately) notifying the victims.
Thank you, those comments are helpful!

And yes you are very likely correct that the entire sub-genre of this fantasy is not for me (as in, I really would like plot and world-building and some character development, not 99% philosophy).

We are all tuned to different frequencies, and sometimes we change frequencies during our lives (or during a single year even) so I get it but for some reason I can't tune to LeGuin's frequency at all.

Oh well.

> And Ged kills a guy (which he didn't in the first three books) and gets to have sex right after, pretty explicitly as a reward - that was a bit of a "what the hell, author?" moment.

Two people with a long-standing attraction having sex after a life-or-death experience seems completely natural to me. Your framing of them having sex BECAUSE Ged killed a man is a misrepresentation of what happens in the book.

> The writers back then probably though 60 TFLOPS is such a ridiculously high sci-fi number for the world-ending AI, that nothing could possibly come close to it, and 20 years later consumers can have twice more computing power in their home PCs.

If you look at the top500 supercomputer list of the time [1], they actually nailed it, the #1 rank at the time hitting a peak of 40TFLOPS

> I used to think that between Lord of the Rings, Earthsea, and Narnia, all of fantasy was tapped out.

Depends what you mean by tapped out I suppose. There's great fantasy still being written. Some of my favorites vaguely recently are the Malazan Book of the Fallen, Mistborn, and the Stormlight Archive serieses.
When I was young I read that Vonnegut wrote most of material before the fam woke up. Around 4 to 7am. As a young night owl it was bonkers to me. Now I get it.
The 21” version was supposed to be solid but I have never seen anyone with one or seen it for sale. The price tag was probably too steep compared to the faulty 17” one. Sad to hear that the graphite model was just as bad though.
One problem is there are a lot of adjustments that are really best made while the CRT is on. Another problem is CRT circuit boards experience a lot of heat, so repair work can be frustrating; it's hard to replace components and what not when traces have lifted.
Good enough for PoC.
God ... this hit me like a pile of bricks. Bram has probably had one of the biggest impacts on development out of basically anyone. I mean not just Vim, which was genius in its own right, but his work with the ICCF and the concept of charity-ware. My deepest condolences to his family. Anybody set up a HN donation drive for ICCF Holland?

Even using Vim or Emacs would add some obufsCTRL[dbiobfuscation from all the spurious keystrokes.
Ah, electronics hobbyists these days... I repaired my first TV at 16yo, it was a Nordmende B&W set with a resistor directly on the output of the flyback transformer. That resistor was broken which led to a nice corona discharge lighting up the inside of the set, looking at it was like looking at the set of a 30's Frankenstein movie. This set me up for a 'career' of repairing televisions and (later) monitors while at university where I came across all sorts of interesting light/sound/smoke effects from those 35kV flyback transformers with cascade circuits (called 'tripplers' since they were used to raise the output voltage) on large-tube sets.

I never got zapped which is a good thing since yes, that can be unpleasant and - depending on when and where it happens - dangerous. Discharge those tubes and cascades before you fiddle with them, use a screwdriver connected to a ground wire which is connected to the metal tube frame. If you want to do it 'professionally' you'll want to put a HT resistor in that wire, otherwise just zap the thing by sticking the screwdriver under the plastic cap on the high tension connector at the tube.
Youtube serves the audio and video separately; yt-dlp (the successor to youtube-dl) can download only the audio part, so there isn't any extraction necessary.

Honestly, I don't understand "piracy" much anymore -- almost everything folks want is legally available on a streaming service for cheap or no-charge. If something has been censored or banned (or the owner refuses to sell it anymore), then that's a different story, but legal services are cheap and easy now.
I think about this attack when streamers on Twitch logs into websites etc.
Lazygit and Lazydocker are great. Now can you please make a Lazynginx? :)
There are large tracts of the US that are mostly ethnically homogeneous - most everywhere is not an urban Babel like NYC or SF. Meanwhile, the Habsburg monarchy was the prototype of a multiethnic state, and its capital was everything but uniform.

Some places use touchscreen keypads for PIN entry exactly for this reason: to allow randomization, e.g. for opening a locked door, or for authorizing a transaction.
Why is it not possible for a cone? Slide it up the (frictionless) cone with kinetic energy equal to mgh and it should stop on the point.
Could be done by using a device with a display - e.g. an "ereader" - to present a random keyboard layout. But, good luck being efficient typing on that. At that point, better use a different input model.

Or, use techniques such as those in the article, such as random keypresses played during the actual ones.
I believe that is the generalisable version of the attack. You're not looking to learn the sound of arbitrary keyboards with this attack, rather you're looking to learn the sound of specific targets.

For example, a Twitch streamer enters responses into their stream-chat with a live mic. Later, the streamer enters their Twitch password. Someone employing this technique could reasonably be able to learn the audio from the first scenario, and apply the findings in the second scenario.
(Semi-)local here, definitely a real story, the local press has been going wild with it.

It's just the risk. Most components in a modern TV are very safe to work on. Even the PSU is not that bad. CCFL backlight had voltages only in the hundreds of volts, and modern LED backlight is even lower. A CRT is totally different business. The author of the article pointed out another thing, wire insulation properties at such high voltages.

There's just a lot to consider, and extremely high voltage stuff isn't really my area. I tend to do more low voltage stuff. When things go wrong with high voltage they tend to go wrong pretty spectacularly, and can cause serious bodily harm too. I just prefer not to take the risk. I'm similarly cautious with Li-ion and Li-Po battery charging circuitry. I don't like to mess around with those and if I repair them it's purely a like-for-like repair.

Another thing is that when I started with electronics CRTs were still very common and I wasn't skilled then, as such I had a lot of respect for them and a lot of caution. As my skills grew, CRTs became obsolete so I never really got comfortable with them and the apprehensive feeling remained.

But I think I have skills with electronics yes, I repair a lot of electronics, designed some of my own and I also built and modded some radios, and came up with some of my own mods (I have a ham license too).
If you are open to some game-y element, I highly recommend the Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective series.

I guess it would be the Europeans who are worth the most, right? Since they have smaller countries.

Unless we were to consider the whole of the EU as the unit of carbon-blame.
For Australian fans it's probably easy to import the DVDs and Blurays from some other country - since all have the English sound track.

Personally I'm going to miss to be able to collect current Disney and Pixar animations on Bluray and they are going to miss my money in the long run.

Disney already stopped releasing the films in 3D format. First in the US (no Frozen 3D there) then in Europe as well. I had to import the last one from Japan for a price of 1 year of Disney +

Compared to collecting Blurays and DVDs, Disney+ is currently cheap and good value.
But that's unlikely to stay that way. They will at some point raise prices a lot and/or introduce ads.

Also even now:
There's the problem with the picture quality (and internet connectivity) compared to Bluray. You also don't get to import out-of-area versions. Want to watch Pixar's Coco in the Mexican Spanish Dub? Not possible here.

Want to watch a film without "Skip Intro", Age & flicker warning or the complete end credits? Want to easily pause a film to analyse a scene, without some overlay covering the picture?

With Disney's track record on annoying logos and other distractions, I don't trust them to keep their user interface clean or not suddenly force ads and trailers on their paying audience.
Because the real data stream would still be there, just mixed with some noise. It feels harder to analyze whether the noise sufficiently obscures the real keystrokes than it does to ensure the actual keystrokes reveal no information.
I've been using them since I let my personal domain expire. The personal domain on Namecheap allowed for DynDNS updating, but I couldn't really justify the $10/y cost for no real gain.

I use DynDNS for a Wireguard VPN with WG Dashboard hosted behind my home firewall on a Proxmox CT (LXC). Works great for allowing me to tunnel traffic on untrusted Wifi, and of course, to hit LAN devices remotely. I'm lucky my home ISP (FIOS) doesn't cheap out and CGNAT me like so many seem to be doing now. In the past, I used to open 80/443 and self-host websites, but that's pretty silly nowadays.
Finally, a use for Buffy's Swearing Keyboard.

Barbie was 'The Butcher of Lyon'.
We need some kind of set theory for describing both human and AI capabilities so we can classify their differences as time goes on.

For example if we say

( AI != Human ) it's both obvious and useless as saying ( John != Bob ). If we were comparing John and Bob it would be easy for most people to see the differences, we would use our internal understanding of being a human and make a list of differences. Bob is tall. John is athletic. Bob is good at math. etc. How do we do this with AI, and will producers of AI perform valid tests and publically release them?

Defining in a more scientific method of the differences between human and AI should at least help us some as these thing progress.

It is true that writing modern C++ is much more fun than writing old C++ in the old days. The code also _looks_ better than in the old days, too, but still far from pretty.
That blog is worth a deep dive, it goes into deep and fascinating detail about how this stuff is measured, as well as the sociology of the field, which has continued to add epicycles to dark matter theory to an extent that is starting to make even true believers uncomfortable.
I got downvoted above, but it isn't a joke. Vietnamese coffee beans are often roasted in butter. Robusta beans aren't as common in the US, sadly. After living in Vietnam, it is my preferred bean now. I like the extra bitterness and higher caffeine content of it.

Buy some VN coffee, the beans are often shiny from the oil.

Thank you for engaging.

I have no problem with slower or more introspective stories, mind you. But even if I accept the notion that Earthsea is about wizardry being more about observing and a holistic approach (which I can accept easily) I still got disappointed because there was barely any magic, and it did not move the plot. There was no conflict, factions, clashes of interests etc.

Part of the answer lies within myself as you pointed out: though I more mean in the sense that my life has not been easy, and dark thoughts and introspection have taken plenty of time from it, so I absolutely cannot get fascinated by these things in books.

If you don't mind the sex analogy, this is very similar to assertive and dominant people usually needing to be submissive in sex to get off. It's like this: you got plenty of X in other areas of life and you don't want X in your free time as well. You need Y and Z.

So I can mostly hypothesize that's why I don't like the books. I get part of the philosophy but... I wanted some magic, man. :)

Can the Modified Newtonian Dynamics (MOND) theory adequately explain the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation and the persistent mass discrepancies observed in galaxy clusters?

Furthermore, as a laiman, I'm puzzled by how certain versions of MOND requires introduction of new fields. Doesn't this effectively the same as saying there is some new particle we neeed to discover?
That write up is fantastic but it's undated and probably from 2016/2017.

Exactly. What are the available debugging tools, and what are their pros and cons? That's a much more fruitful question.

Today I had to investigate a bug in a C program. With a conditional breakpoint in gdb I could spot the problem and devise a solution in a matter of minutes.

When I'm debugging SQL (which happens frequently), that depends. If the query is light, I often use a "Prolog-like" approach: make the expression more general until I find the clauses responsible for the bug. On the other hand, if the query is too heavy, I consider spending some time reading the expression very carefully to see if I can find the issue without incurring in a costly execution.

It all boils down to what sorts of problems you have, and which of the available solutions will be more appropriate.

More and more, I'm starting to believe that we are witnessing one of two phenomena.

So the solution to climate change is to break up China into smaller countries that have emissions that are utterly irrelevant!
falsifiable science relies on adjusting to new evidence, so if an invisible being that doesn't interact in our world in any way was able to be quantified in a reproducible experience or experiment, the science would change to accommodate its existence and all fundamental assumptions about reality

Unfalsifiable things are distinctive, in that there is no evidence that would change the assumption. its working backwards to support the unfalsifiable view, as opposed to working forward and adjusting to any result even if it doesnt match the view
So many memories!

Also nice to see that it's running pure-ftpd.
