There are solutions external to the browsers that work pretty well and where you have control on your data :

Floccus for bookmarks (https://floccus.org/) : it works also on mobile devices : a great plus ! You need only a webdav server (or a Nextcloud account), I use Dave (https://github.com/micromata/dave)

Vaultwarden for the passwords (https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden)

A huge advantage of this solution is that you can have synchronization also between different browsers and on mobile devices.

>That was the setup until 2020 and it worked. Especially for the leadership who have grown up in that requirement.

And people were very happy with carriages until cars came along. Things change, the world changed, WFH became the new reality. Being stuck in the past way of doings just because it was done in the past is idiotic. Leadership is especially bad about adapting to change because it means actually having to learn and try new things, which 100% explains their resistance to WFH.

Much easier to glance at badge swipe-in times and go chew out some peon than to figure out how to actually do the work of management.

>Onus is on the pro-remote side to provide data that that works.

Sure, and that's already been shown. In 2020 there were dire predictions of productivity drops when WFH was implemented on a large-scale. Turns out, that didn't happen. All attempts to determine the effects of WFH show no-to-positive effects on productivity.

Ergo, it works.

So, again

>Why should RTO need data?

Because, as noted above, there hasn't been any measurable drop in productivity due to WFH. This is why in my first comment I said that the justifications used by management have become increasingly abstract, because there is nothing concrete they can point to as support for their decisions.

Sorry you work in such a harsh environment, consider changing jobs.
> Miraculously, most games just worked despite running under a different DPMI server from what they were originally developed with. There were occasional issues with specific games. Popular ones include games which assumed that all memory was physical and games which assumed the interrupt flag was unvirtualized, but for the most part, things worked well enough that the remaining issues could be treated as app-specific bugs.

It's funny because at that moment in time I was running DOS games, and most of them worked without issues and I was thinking that Win95, wasn't too different and just a UI, like it was Win 3.1x

If you've never worked with a rules engine that interacts with the mushiness of human interaction than you don't understand how insane it is to claim there needs to be "very clear" rules.

Human interaction is fuzzy, THAT'S why the rules are fuzzy. Also, the SEC itself isn't the arbiter of what the law says, that's the court's job.

Go ahead, try to write a complete and comprehensive and unambiguous system for defining human interaction.
Inconsistent enforcement of rules is a proven way to instill caution via fear and uncertainty.

When you are dealing with sociopaths (i.e. most of the industry that the SEC regulates), reason and compassion are useless as tools for getting people to do the right thing ... but fear still works.

What is a solid but a, relatively speaking, very, very cold gas?

Put two solids together with no intervening medium, and heat everything up, and you'll see some mixin' and mingling. Often, the reason you don't see more of that sort of thing is because everything is immersed in an oxygen rich fluid with a tendency to create large, relatively reluctant to mix and mingle oxide coatings before anything fun can happen. Hence why another word for cold welding is vacuum welding.

Materials, when you really look at em' are not as 'solid' and 'stable' as you may think. Hence why I have a mechanics of materials book I peruse from time to time.
Why are large industrial motors three-phase? I almost always see large industry getting three-phase, which I assumed either gave more power or more efficiency.
For most monitors, as a user you cannot know which are the true colors of the pixels of the screen and this is completely irrelevant.

What matters is which are the colors that will be reproduced on the display when you send the digital codes corresponding to pure red, green and blue, through the DisplayPort or HDMI interfaces of the monitor.

All the good monitors have a menu for the selection of the color space that will be used by DisplayPort and HDMI, and the menu will typically present a choice between sRGB and Display P3 or DCI-P3. Even when in the menu it is written DCI-P3, what is meant is Display P3, i.e. the menu changes only the primaries, without changing the white or the nonlinear transfer function.

All monitors will process the digital codes corresponding to standard color spaces to generate the appropriate values needed to command their specific pixels in order to reproduce a color as close as possible to what is specified by the standard color space.

The cheapest monitors are able to display only a color space close to Rec. 709 a.k.a. sRGB, those of medium price are normally able to display a color space close to DCI-P3 and a few very expensive monitors and many expensive TV-sets, which use either quantum dots or OLED, are able to display a larger fraction of the Rec. 2020 color space (laser projectors can display the complete Rec. 2020 color space).

Even when a monitor can display bright and saturated reds, as long as it remains in the default configuration of using sRGB over DisplayPort and HDMI, you cannot command the monitor to display those colors. For that, you have to switch the color space used by DisplayPort and HDMI to a color space with a wider color gamut.

Some monitors, typically those that are advertised to support HDR, allow the use of the Rec. 2020 color space over
DisplayPort and HDMI, but most such monitors cannot display the full Rec. 2020 color space, so the very saturated colors will either be clipped to maximum saturation or mapped to less saturated colors.

Yes but it’s not even just that, it’s that there has been a paradigm shift from how can I sell the most useful product I can to how can I attract and retain as many users as possible in my trap, using as much dark patterns as I can so I can milk their data and make money with it.

It’s too bad because we have truly awesome tech but it’s just full of traps and we aren’t allowed to own our own devices anymore.

Like many corporations nowadays, McDonald's is basically a real estate holding company. The actual franchised businesses that operate on their land are tenants, and as their landlord, McDonald's is, IMO, only incentivized to help them succeed financially insomuch as they desire to collect as much rent from them as possible.

This ice cream machine thing is, IMO, an obfuscated method of transferring more value from the ground level businesses to McD's corporate, via the Taylor machine vendor middleman. In other words, paying more rent.
I would never work for this company.
Or you could simply invoke a GC periodically (or every N times a key is removed from the map, or similar schemes).

Another simple way, if we don't like the idea of triggering GCs manually,is to allocate the same buffer both off-heap and on-heap: use the off-heap one for actual key storage, and the on-heap one just to generate heap memory pressure.

Pedantically you are correct, but it is and was common to use C++ compilers as a slightly more convenient dialect of C. This gives you the performance and simplicity of the C language with some very nice quality of life improvements.

Well that would require enforcement, which seems to be rarer all the time. Which means changes to infrastructure (protected bike lanes, blocking through traffic on side streets, etc.) are more likely to produce good results.
Oh hey, look at that, the FBI did get a warrant authorizing this action, and signed off by a United States Magistrate Judge: https://www.justice.gov/d9/2023-08/23mj4244_application_reda...

Now, are judges sometimes too easy with warrants? Certainly. But this is definitely not the same as entering your house without a warrant, because the FBI did get a warrant. The warrant involves them promising to a judge under penalty of perjury that the Qakbot Uninstaller they are using makes no further changes and collects no additional data on any of the victim computers they are running on.

So, the FBI is aware of your concerns and is taking steps to alleviate them. Does that make you feel better?
As someone who has made a good life over the years by taking advantage of the security bugs (either to build my embedded empires--aka, jailbreaking--or to directly collect bounties) caused by all of the people who hate abstraction so much (or are merely so bad at doing it that they don't know how to do it well) that they vehemently argue that duplication is not merely a temporary pragmatic decision to incur potentially-dangerous architectural debt which you intend to come back and fix later but is somehow better than even trying to address it, I guess I find this discussion thread of people almost 100% tearing into this article's fundamental premise... kind of fun? ;P

So, yes, yes: please do continue to ensure you have so much boilerplate in your "flat and easy to understand" code that you eventually make a fatal mistake (potentially simply while doing a merge commit), refuse to factor your safety checks out into abstractions that prevent you from making the same mistake twice due to your refusal to "obfuscate the underlying API everyone knows how to use", and (my true favorite) litter your code with multiple implementations of the same algorithms that have very subtle differences in them (so called "parser differentials") as you insist on every single programming language in use having its own copy of the algorithm "for ergonomic reasons, as IPC/FFI would be crazy when I can just import a second one off-the-shelf".
You don't have to write functions. Have you ever seen a 10,000 line code that was just a single function -- I have. It also had nested if statements 5 levels deep to handle all sorts of logic with lots of duplication. It was unmaintainable. Yet it did meaningful work and it could have been refactored to a fraction of the size and do the same work. But, to be honest, when I had to fix it I just went it and fixed in the 20 places that needed changing because it was impossible to follow.

You like good abstractions and you hate bad abstractions. I couldn't agree with that more.

sRGB/ProPhoto/DCI-P3 and HSL/HSLuv/Lch/Lab/OKLab are two distinct sets of functionality. The former defines the colorspaces (such as sRGB), the latter defines colors within a given colorspace. To see a visual demo of this, visit https://oklch.com/#70,0.1,165,100 and enable Show P3 and Show Rec2020; two additional thin white lines will be added showing the colorspace truncation points for the OKLCH color (70% 0.1 165).

https://caniuse.com/css-color-function tracks support for the colorspaces, complementing the above link for Lch/Lab, and showing essentially the same current data: All desktop and the two top mobile browsers now support it.

I'm really glad to see this. Thank you for sharing. That makes me much more optimistic about what will come of this.

(Note that all browsers are currently failing LCH and OKLCH tests 9 and 10, and Firefox failing 15% of the CSS Color v4 parsing tests, at https://wpt.fyi/results/css/css-color?label=experimental&lab... — but this is still a page full of great success for CSS Color v4! So happy.)
Maybe those riders live on that street, or need to use the larger road briefly to access a turn that isn't safe to access via the bike lane? Or maybe they're riding faster than is comfortable on a shared path (kudos to them -- racing is not safe in an environment shared with pedestrians). Bicycles have every right to the road that cars do, so those bikes are perfectly entitled to use that road. Do they really slow down traffic that much? If that stretch of road has traffic lights, it probably doesn't make much of a difference.

Just because a show could hypothetically end and the assets would go up, may not be a convincing argument. Hypotheticals could go either way.

One company owns the IP, the rights to the characters, to produce shows, they have the expertise, and it is exactly the show and the brand that drives the demand for merchandise sales. This is well established. They advertise the merchandise.

Now, without the advertisement, there could remain a niche group of people who would pay a lot for collectibles, but nowhere near the amount of people or capital under their management than during the heyday of the show actually airing and constantly making the memes (pokemon, yu gi oh, whatever) relevant and driving demand.

By your argument, LBRY the company could fold and people would continue to use LBRY tokens. Which is exactly what happened. So does that mean it wasn’t securities sales after all?

As for the other issues you mentioned, the court explicitly stated that just because some people buy the cards for consumptive use doesn’t mean they all do. You could buy 100 tickets to a ball game, but intend to only take your family, and scalp the rest. One of the criteria for a securities sale is did you buy more than you could ever conceivably use? And if you keep the cards in mint condition unopened that’s pretty much textbook definition of investing into collectables. Then the only question us how much are you relying on the expertise of the company producing Yu Gi Oh content to… continue to produce Yu Gi Oh and keep it relevant.

Now, if Yu Gi Oh was in the public domain and lots of entities could keep the memes going, sure. It would be super decentralized (although a strict reading by the SEC could nevertheless see a “common enterprise” horizontally across all of them, much as they are considering now for Ethereum!)

But since all these initiatives (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, the music and movie industries etc.) work off massively relying on copyright protections, so they are the ONLY ones authorized to use / license the characters, then yeah you’re kind of relying on the efforts of a third party promoter to make sure a lot of people give a crap about your mint condition charazard collectibles!

Do the following thought experiment … if some group were selling the same exact type of trading cards in the form of NFTs, and creating Telegram channels to promote them, creating all kinds of episodes featuring those characters, are they a “common enterprise”?

You are mistaking syntax for features.

C++ got popular because it managed data structures under the hood automatically. I.e, you didn't have to keep track of memory offsets or function pointers.

Java got popular because it did that and also managed memory allocation under the hood automatically.

Python (and Javascript) got popular because it did all of that and also managed types under the hood automatically.

The future is exactly this. Some language (or Python 5 or 6) is going to do all that except manage common processing algorithms for you automatically. For example, you will not need to import a library to convert xml to json, the .toJson call will be put through an AI inference algorithm that will essentially generate the required code for you on the fly, and more then that, it will do it in a much optimal way because it will recognize that the xml data follows a particular structure so it can optimize the search of the tags rather than doing a generic approach.

I need clarification on what that sentence means before I can even look for a good example! Otherwise I'll just point at something that decided to not be a security and never had enforcement. There's a million kinds of collectible that fit that category.

If it means that when the SEC invokes the rule it has never failed, then that probably just means they're going after the strongest cases. It doesn't mean you can't "evade" it.

The answers and comments on [0] would seem to suggest that's not true.

Seems the power grid has the capability of delivering three phase power, but many (most?) homes in quite a few European countries don't actually have all three phases delivered.

> No matter how you put it, the US residential power grid is conceptionally lagging.

That's only the case if you believe the US is "missing out" on all that much with our split-phase setup. I don't think that's the case, really. Even for EV charging, using the 240V across the -120V and 120V lines is more or less fine. We've been doing the same thing with our electric stoves, water heaters, etc. for quite some time now.

Certainly there are some things you can do with 3-phase that aren't really feasible with split-phase, but I don't think most people living in the US care too much. It's true that those who do are probably upset about it, though!

Also consider that the US power system is trivially 3-phase! We just don't wire all those phases to homes, as we a) don't generally see the need to, b) chicken-and-egg problem suggests that most people wouldn't be able to use it anyway, since appliances made for the US wouldn't be able to take advantage of it.

Good work!

There's an immediate application to this research, and that's answering the following question:

How does the implementation of their geo-fencing enforcement actually work? As you may know, you can't use starlink in India (or Iran etc.), even with a roaming plan.

Sure, it is possible that the satellites just "go off" whenever passing over these territories. However, from experience, there's a good chance that this isn't how it works. Perhaps there is some cooperation from the client side (at the software level). Perhaps the terminal being hard-to-root had made it "trusted enough" for this purpose in their security design.

If anyone is up to answering that question, I'm sure they'll get a bunch of karma on their HN post.
