I've dealt with this multiple times, so let me give my perspective.

- It is hard for manufacturers to do this with small teams. Mostly because they do not always have good CI/CD or platforms available to keep being on top of vulnerabilities and so on and so forth.

- Not all manufacturers write their own software and often contract it out to other experts in the field. This includes firmware and app developers.

- If a manufacturer goes out of business or their website is hacked or whatever, the devices are going to send information to someone else, this is a big risk.

- A lot of blast damage can be contained if home devices use local / MDNS based service discovery as opposed to Internet based services. Many services could then either choose to reply locally or sometimes relay to the Internet if users policies allow. Unless people want other people unlocking their doors through the Internet, and they explicitly say it, Internet connection can not be mandated.

- If a producer goes out of business they should be forced to give out a signed firmware that disables the key checking, then they must put up their source code for any users who wish to build and flash it themselves.

- Some of these will not be practical to get manufacturers to agree on. IP issues will arise. Following decent open protocols for firmware upgrade and sharing platform specific specs can alleviate this. One should be able to re implement open firmware for their bulbs if everything else shuts down.

That's a strategy to keep the competition busy just keeping up: https://www.joelonsoftware.com/2002/01/06/fire-and-motion/

If you ask "what competition (from Android forks)?", that means it's working.
First, single-stage/two-stage triggers give you (with single-stage) a single smooth press with activation point somewhere in the middle, or (with two-stage) a consistent amount of takeup then a wall that you have to break through to activate the mechanism. So you can have the key pressed and resting on the activation point, and then press it the rest of the way when you want the input to register (for instance, if you're in a game and are waiting for someone to peek around the corner).

This is a cool thing, I’d want that on my mouse triggers also. The problem is that in practice it’ll never be what we want it to be because the distance of switches is too small to make that two stage thing be a thing (we’d need super heavy switches for this to be a thing). Now imagine mouse clicks which are supposed to represent a trigger (we operate as if everything is a hair trigger).

Burst/Single burst is mostly a timing thing at this point. Would be interesting to see it become a force based thing.

Fun ideas though.
"cpp" seems to work fine though, and returns many results that include "c++"... https://duckduckgo.com/?q=cpp&t=ffab&ia=web
I don’t see what that has to do with what the previous commenter said about the cable companies not creating “all the value” going over their lines.

In any case, in the United States, theft of service is generally treated as a criminal matter. I don’t see why this should be treated any differently, or how it would be fair to single cable companies out for exclusion from protection for having their service taken for free. Inn Keepers, other utility companies, and many other businesses enjoy the same or similar protections for their services.
And what happens if the server holding the keys gets compromised? I guess most manufacturers won’t care, but the more reputable ones would have things in their source they consider proprietary and would definitely not want to have to submit it.

Verification that it is, in fact, the actual shipped source might not be trivial either.
It doesn't deactivate the sound of the keyboard.
Ideally self-contained to avoid running wires in the mast, e.g.
A WiFi equiped Arduino with small battery and micro solar panel in weather-proof enclosure would be ideal.
I'd expect simple signals like the strapline being bracketed (suggesting lower importance for those words) and the lack of use of "American Slang, English Slang, and Urban Slang" and hence missing keyword phrases to make a difference, especially if the title and strap are then used in link slugs?

Are these sorts of signals moot nowadays, is there any on-page aspect left?
That's true but most people will argue for at least some limited screen time. For us only a complete ban got them interested in reading, outdoors, sports, card games etc again.
I believe it is derived from "crackerjack".
Can't blame them really, wrapping a few AWS calls in $lang and pitching it to VC as a "disruptor" is a decent techbro playbook. Don't hate the player, etc.
My assumption is wrong. As others have noted, it's clearly parsing the title of the first result wrong. Edit: It's the parsing of the title of the infobox.
The surveillance and EW electronics on the U-2 are kept up to date. You'd have to think long and hard about the value in developing an all-new successor to the airframe, rather than an incremental update to the U-2. The design is already very well suited to a very specific flight envelope. (as a practical matter, an all-new replacement made today targeting the "piloted and subsonic and fly as high as possible for a long time" would be required to have working stealth features and would be huge and cost a zillion dollars, and nobody involved wants to pay for that)

Regarding the aircraft comparison: the U-2 is surprisingly cheap to operate. It's brilliant. The SR-71 pretty much pegged the meter in terms of operating cost.
Do actually poor countries have higher rates of clinical and self-reported depression? Do Colombians or Tunisians suffer worse rates of mental illness than Americans?

I am from a country where the median income is less than $10k, the gini coefficient is higher than the US, and where the six-day workweek is the norm. I literally don't know anyone on an SSRI. Sure, it's very possible someone is suffering in silence, but it's a far cry from when I studied in the United States and more than half of my classmates were medicated for mental disorders or went to therapists.
Did you read the article? It's specifically new gas cars, so no, everyone doesn't have to buy an EV by 2035.

Yes, EV charging networks are far fewer. Today, in 2023. In 2035 the availability is going to be way better, and by 2040 (when "everyone" has an EV) it's going to be just as easy as gas. Because if it isn't, they'll have to slow things down or risk public outrage.
This looks like a great resource.

Some context on why this is needed for a senior/master-level course:

CMU doesn’t really teach C++ at all (the core sequence is Python, C, and SML), and it is possible to go through your entire degree without ever learning it.

It’s even possible to do your major systems elective in Rust or OCaml if you want.

So it’s great that the teaching staff has put together this resource.
How much of either do I need to know to find value out of this book?
>"All I have to do is buy the company that owns the central server (or compromise it in some other less visible way) and I now have the ability to introduce malicious code to all devices that are receiving 'security updates.' You won't be able to make a rule to prevent asset transfer (correct me if I'm wrong) so you won't be able to close this hole."

Has this actually been a problem in the past? I do not know of any examples of this, do you?

I hate having to create and maintain accounts and subscriptions for so many devices, but I'm not sure it's a huge security problem.
Exactly: thieves don't care what you paid for it they care what they can sell it for and they can sell stolen Leica's for enough money that this is a real problem when buying stuff second hand. More so because whoever you buy it from may not know that once upon a time it was stolen. This applies to all goods that are resold but for cameras, laptops and smartphones it is a big issue because those are stolen with great regularity (and it is why manufacturers build in protection against theft in some of their devices and will not replace certain parts unless you can prove you are the owner of the device).

There is a whole industry in unbricking stolen laptops, for instance.
You are the one bringing it to the discussion.

TIL, thank you!

I'm really sad about losing native SSHFS capabilities on macOS (via FUSE, due to the kernel extension deprecation/ban).

I could even get behind the idea of banning all network file systems, but the fact that I can now use SMB and WebDAV(!), but not the one that I actually use all the time, is quite frustrating.

Labour are certain to win the next election.

Let's say that the tories threaten the ONS with a sharp cut if they don't "play ball". Here are the scenarios.

ONS decide not to do it : leak to the press, Labour promise to reverse funding cut, funding cut doesn't come into force, Tories humiliated, Labour look favourably on ONS.

ONS decide to do it : Labour come into power, discover what happened (someone will talk), blood up the walls, ONS disolved etc.

So, I do not think that this is politically driven.
Hourly estimating takes too much time and it never gives useful numbers even with various padding schemes when estimating innovative sw development. Cookie cutter web sites or repetitive work that you've done for multiple clients is easy to fix bid but I don't do that sort of work.

I just say this has a complexity of 1,3,5,8 or 'too big to say'. Each feature is a 1-15 minute conversation to get this number. Then they ask well how much time is that? I then answer "We have three months of velocity data, x points per developer per week accepted into production over the last ten weeks so those five new points for that feature will take one developer 4.1 days to complete with a variance of plus or minus 1.8 days. If you need better precision, we can take a day or two to really break down the work and get the uncertainty to at best a ten percent variance.

Agreed. Also, the kinds of passive safety needed to not burn your house down in the event of a code error or other design issue.

The hardware design is the last line of defense before you can do real-world damage.

Things like fuses, ESD and surge protection, watchdog timers, often get overlooked in a hobbyist or even open-source design... it takes (sometimes hard-won) experience to know when these things are required.
I was almost convinced to use electron because it uses the same language as the frontend (JS) and has "better" support for production apps.

Ultimately went with Tauri because more people need to push the needle with alternatives and wanted to be there. Most ppl that build electron apps can definitely use Tauri because they're probably not writing much backend code.
Somewhat similar to how some electric vehicles make noise to emulate a combustion engine.

SLAPPs (Strategic Lawsuit Against Public Participation) can be an issue in any system of torts. Solutions vary from specific anti-SLAPP laws (which Massachusetts actually has, but apparently it's hard to prove), to making awarding attorney's fees to the winner a typical outcome.

The issue is always about balancing the two sides, since it's really difficult to increase the barriers to filing frivolous lawsuits without also increasing the barriers to filing legitimate lawsuits.
it's commonly used in CI workflows for downloading assets and sending webhooks between tools.

> I think these companies should have just used a license like BSL from the get-go

I think that's the general attitude the software companies will have going in the future. Why even bother dealing with negative PR and push back against their ability to make money by going with FOSS? In hindsight, TF should have been released with BSL from the beginning.

I am not a huge fan of Hashicorp changing its licenses for future releases but I am also skeptical of OpenTF's motives since their members have big financial stake in that decision.

There's a long-form profile on Claremont posted about a year ago on 3 August 2022, "How the Claremont Institute Became a Nerve Center of the American Right"

<https://www.nytimes.com/2022/08/03/magazine/claremont-instit...>

It mentions Aristotle, and quotes Jaffe's son, Philip, but there's no mention of Jefferson Davis or Ayn Rand.

I don't find anything including those elements in a broader search (beyond nytimes.com) either.

How is it "real crafty wordplay"? 16/32-bit is Motorola's own designation, and that's the width of the registers and the ISA's immediates. When programming the 68k you work directly with 32-bit longwords instead of having to manually herd multiple 16-bit words to achieve the same. Register-combining instructions like those in the Z80 do not exist in the 68000, nor are they necessary. Your comparison is invalid. Perhaps you have no experience programming the m68k family.
No it does not mean current gas cars have to be traded in for EVs.

> 30 years of expected support is pretty unreasonable.

I happen to know, having been with a Ford unit at the time, that the Ford EEC-IV engine control unit in 1980s Ford cars and trucks was designed for a 30 year lifetime. Many are still working.

The average age of light vehicles in the US is 12.2 years.

This is more in NHTSA's wheelhouse, though.
Depending on who you ask, the value of the crude helium there is around $300M to $360M. The $2-$3/cf for refined helium isn't really that relevant, since what is included is unrefined, if it were refined it'd be worth many billions.
You're obviously thinking of Helios 44 and other Russian lenses, but there are also many outstanding m42 lenses, including Pentax Takumars.

> Life takes energy and lowers the entropy of the planet. Why shouldn't humans able to do the same? Any technical reason?

Reducing entropy necessarily produces waste energy + entropy elsewhere. So the technical reason this cannot be done at the planetary scale is called Second Law of Thermodynamics.

Yes, we could try to put all that excess entropy & heat into space but there are limits to that (Stefan-Boltzmann law, among other things).
We're thinking of a way to sync this with git or some link to a schema somewhere (e.g an OpenAPI yaml spec).

That all seems like a fair representation of his positions, but I don't agree with your analysis of them.

I do agree that individualism is important to liberty, but I can't connect your dots.

Wokism is collectivism, as you seem to recognize. But how is his message of being anti-woke also collectivism? I don't get that leap.
>you cannot sell copies of your Hermione spin-off, because that'd be copyright infringement, because it is a derivative work

But you can distribute it for free, as fanfiction.

Also, a no-CD crack does not contain any of the original work. It's akin to a program that you can use to modify, say, your legally-purchased Harry Potter ebook in order to change all instances of "wand" to "wang"

For what's is worth, it's about 22.6 M cubic meters, a cube with a side of 2.83 km.

I didn't check if they are storing it as a compressed gas but they probably do. 1500 psi is about 100 bar. No more a cube but still a very big array of 28.3 m tall tanks.
In this scenario all the "o" instances are "Notepad+".

The error seems to be coming from the right sidebar which displays "Notepad+" as a title as well. It seems to be getting the "Heading" from the wikipedia page

Here is the object where it extracts the heading from, it seems in this scenario it is not extracting "Notepad++" in the about but "Notepad+" which is another application.

```

Abstract: "Notepad+ is a freeware text editor for Windows operating systems and is intended as a replacement for the Notepad editor installed by default on Windows. It has more formatting features but, like Notepad, works only with plain text. It can open text files of any size, and a single instance of the program can have multiple files open simultaneously. It supports dragging and dropping text within a file and between files, and supports multiple fonts and colours. Notepad+ is available from the company RogSoft. It was developed by Dutch programmer Rogier Meurs. It was first released in 1996. Originally, it had the advantage of being able to open files of any size, because until 2000 Notepad could not open files larger than 64 KB."

This has less to do with the technical merits of Plan 9 and more to do with the fact that nobody has ported a modern web browser to Plan 9 (there are some browsers, but none with the feature parity of Firefox or Chrome). A slightly easier route to YouTube support for Plan 9 would be if somebody ported youtube-dl, but this work is also non-trivial.

It’s the classic chicken-and-egg problem of adopting new platforms: the platform needs software to attract users, but developers won’t develop unless there are users or there’s a high likelihood users will come. It’s not that Plan 9 isn’t made for our world; it’s just that Linux/Windows/macOS/BSD and their software ecosystems are good enough for many users, and those who want to take advantage of Plan 9’s features have to contend with a lack of software in many domains. It’s similar to the reason I code in Python for my machine learning job despite the fact I’d prefer a Lisp or a statically-typed functional programming language: Python has a far richer ecosystem of machine learning and data science libraries.
I think one thing some early compilers did was read the source serially in one pass and write the output serially in one pass. If you were doing multiple passes you had do that for each pass. That means your compiler speed is IO bound. So one pass is faster.

My cousins ex had a workflow in the late 70's that involved two floppy drives and a little dance to compile and link. Later he got a 5M hard drive which improved things a lot.
What's clear is that the site comes at events and history with a clear, extreme, and ideological framing.

The general principle of copyright law is that copying/distributing work that combines multiple copyrightable parts requires the permission of every author/copyright holder. Copyright law does not attempt to establish a single owner for any given work, it's perfectly fine with multiple parties having copyright protections over a single work, in which case any of them has a practical veto to doing anything with the joint product, as permission to use 99% of the work isn't sufficient.

For a very common example, let's look at a translated book. Copying and distributing such a book requires separate permission from both the author of the book and the author of the translation; the translation is a derivative work, it's covered by the copyrights of the original book and the author, but the translator also holds independent copyright on the translation in addition to the author's interest.

IMHO a derivative work of a program patched with someoone else's code (no matter how small, as long as it meets the very low copyright law bar of 'the slightest touch of creative input') is quite similar.

But the specific case of Razor 1911 might be disqualified by US copyright law section 103a which says "[...] but protection for a work employing preexisting material in which copyright subsists does not extend to any part of the work in which such material has been used unlawfully."

That's a fair point, lenses, film, chemicals etc do add a level of style, and I guess it's a bit more tactile than digital if you're developing them yourself with chemicals rather than in Lightroom. No batteries to worry about either (for the most part)!
