Nice, I just bought Hetzner's 'EX101' and I'm extremely happy with it. Already hosting my own STUN, TURN, and echo servers. They give you plenty of IPv6s and adding additional IPv4s is very cheap. I'm happy with it.

I want to say that if any of you decide to try Hetzner and use their auction process instead of their regular packages - make sure you check out the details for the CPU. I made the mistake of buying an old server on there because it had plenty of RAM, disk space, and bandwidth. Then I saw the CPU was ancient and had only 4 cores.

You know there is something quite unique and strange about Hetzner. They charge you no money until your first invoice date rolls around. So you essentially have access to their servers for free until whenever the next invoice date is. It seems to me... how to say it? Kind of crazy and insanely trusting. But it works, I guess?
Because other providers use server hardware and better networking.
Yes, but that list becomes much shorter when you're making 3D games.

Economically it seems hard to differentiate as much further right than the previous Labour governments. It's certainly spending a lot more on the NHS (in real terms). Furlough was a pretty eye-wateringly expensive state intervention.

Traditional conservative economics don't seem to be on offer in the UK these days.

Not many details in the article but it says they built a station, which probably means the trains they have contracted come from a station on the main line (not owned by Tesla), branch off and run to the Telsa station and then go back.
Agreed - but 27001 doesn't have an opinion on that. It only requires that top management have set the context that the rest of the information security management system hangs off of. It doesn't specify what that context should be for your company.

It's completely unlike SOC in that regard.

Well, Vote Leave was the official campaign. And they did set out a post-Brexit plan. They had the opportunity to define what Brexit meant, but they didn't do it.

I wouldn't have minded this so much if there was a continued democratic process to decide between various possible Brexits. There's an argument that the decision of elected MPs constitutes a democratic process, and I am sympathetic to that argument. I guess I would counter that this was such a momentous change and that very few people had elected their local MP on the basis of what their position on the EU was.
As someone who decided to get BSc degree in Math & Stats after 5 years in industry this thread makes me questioning my decision.

Everyone says you don't need degree, but in my experience if you want to do advanced stuff (machine learning, cryptography, algorithms) you probably need one, unless you are extremely talented and can pick up everything on your own.

You probably don't need degree if you want to work as SWE in mid-tier companies, once you have experience there are no problems with finding jobs.
Is there any official announcement of this? I'd like to know some more details on what they plan to do with the existing API.

All I can find is references to something posted on twitter, which I refuse to accept as official communication.
Too bad this ship has sailed long ago.
Does anyone know if they can force users to do so in EU? It sounds like it's gonna make the product unusable if not registered, therefore revoking my previous rights to use a product without an account.
I don't think I've ever seen a coffee cup that would let me do that. As I said earlier, I don't really trust their roundness, and that's on top of them usually being made of some kind of ceramic and thus having grain.

(Maybe a cheap, single-use plastic cup would be smooth enough and stiff enough and round enough, given the production process.)
> Something needs to be done about young children accessing pornographic content, and terrorists and paedophiles using end-to-end encrypted chat systems to cover their tracks

When you come up with an approach that doesn't involve breaking the system for literally everyone else, please let us know.

There isn't anyone who would dispute that these issues are serious but hammering backdoors (of which clientside scanning is effectively one) into encrypted chat systems is not and never will be the answer.

It is not the case that if you put a backdoor into WhatsApp that the criminals suddenly have nowhere to go. They will simply move to lesser-known and possibly even more effective platforms instead, ones that are outside the scope of regulation. Perhaps they'll just build their own. It isn't exactly difficult to do — all of the necessary pieces are out there as open-source.

What we absolutely cannot accept is that all of the mass-market platforms become broken to the point that everyone else, including the less technical users who don't know about the alternatives, can no longer trust them.
Regarding security: entity expansion bugs have been fixed long ago. In the other hand: people still use eval() on json objects to parse them. So i don't get that.
Json schema: which one? Afaik it's not there and there is no single json schema with the tooling depth and breadth of xsd.
Protobuf: nice but unreadable for humans. Might as well use corba or asn.1 coding.
We need a no-tether law.

If you buy a product you should be able to use it even if you completely break all ties with the original vendor. Otherwise it's a service and not a product.

There’s very little a wolf can do to a person in armor. A fight between an armored knight armed with any kind of sword and a single wolf would probably only last a minute and would end very badly for the wolf. Wolves are extremely careful, cowardly and their only fighting move is to approach you and bite you. Source: have spent a lot of time with various wolfdogs, wolf hybrids and actual wolves.

Thank you for introducing me to genius scan. I have been getting more and more frustrated with CamScanner as the UI degrades with each version push, even as a paid user. Genius scan is great.

Which foot pedal are you using? I tried a cheap one from AliExpress but it doesn't actually send PageDown keypresses, rather tries to simulate dragging. And it came broken anyway.
Whenever I read something like this I sometimes wonder if there is a viable model for a consumer electronics company which works akin to a non-profit that has irrevocable principles it has to follow where something like this won't happen and where shareholder value, buy outs and angel investors can't force the company to become like that.
A company that makes use of open standards and hardware, respects right to repair, user privacy, local/offline first, open sources its hardware and software, works with sustainable ecofriendly materials and processes whereever possible, has a transparent and fair salary structure and open inclusive company culture and won't engage in toxic or anti-competitive behaviour.

Now I realise that a lot of those points are not as clear cut and products would probably cost a bunch more but somehow I would prefer that. What do you guys think?
It was also widely reported that she had no apparent security background, so maybe provide some evidence that the shade was unwarranted?

Of course lots of people get into tech from non tech but it's not a reason to go off on the commenter with an angry screed.

Also, she was CSO not CISO or CIO not that there's much of a difference between those titles in practice anyway.
Aha, so they get paid the same, regardless of if their research works or not. And possibly some bonuses if things go well for the company? And if they all the time do nothing useful and manipulate data, they get fired?

But that's different from a PhD student -- they're not embedded in any organization that would notice if the research works or not?

Maybe if the universities partnered somehow with different companies, and the researchers got extra compensation if a company decided to make real world use of the research?

(On top of some base salary)

But who would determine if a company had made use of a certain research paper? What would the company gain, by keeping track and reporting back? Maybe more good research

(but I'd guess few companies would be that much forward-looking?)
but the quality of OSM maps is way above Google in terms of details.

They had a TUI installer which was just a rebranded `bsdinstall` from FreeBSD. They got rid of it around ~2009 IIRC because it was objectively bad and they moved away from doing releases. Nowadays they've added a new installer, and as far as people told me it's way better. I still install Arch the Arch way, of course, or rather, I haven't installed Arch since 2014, I've been `rsync`-ing stuff around for a while until 2017, and then `zfs send`-ing the same install over from one computer to another. It's faster and less annoying than setting everything up from scratch IMHO.

> I don't really understand how its able to base64 decode values it has never seen though

You are surprised by this but not by its ability to translate languages? You can train a base 64 decoder and encoder neural network trivially, so it is very easy to see how it could have one lurking among all of its many parts give it has likely seen many millions of base64 encoding examples on the internet.
> In your case you want to define `data` as a struct type with a Display field (and whatever else).

So first of all, the reason things are defined that way is to interact with the golang templating libraries. Secondly, your suggestion wouldn't really solve the issue in this case: content of "Display" is different for each web page, and so the only way to assign both types to the same value is to make it an interface.

> Any use of `package reflect` in application code is a similarly huge red flag. 99 times out of 100 it's a design error that ought to be fixed.

I'm not using reflect for fun; there is literally no other way to check for nil with interfaces (other than manually checking nil for all possible types).

At any rate, I wrote code in a way that's intuitive, at least to a C programmer (using 'nil' value as an indicator that there was an error); the code had a bug. Sure I could have rearchitected the whole function, and if this were a commercial product I may have. But it's a simple webapp to help scheduling discussions at my project's conferences; a quick fix that robustly works around Golang's deficiencies is perfectly reasonable.

EDIT: And honestly, there are exactly three ways of addressing this:

1. Separating the two page paths, duplicating all the logic which is common to the two. This makes it less DRY, which risks checks becoming inconsistent, increasing the chance that there will be a security issue.

2. Make the *GetDisplay() functions return a second value to indicate failure. This is honestly kind of a dumb thing to do to work around a language deficiency.

3. Continue to use 'nil' to indicate failure, and fix the check to be able to properly check for nil. This can be done by listing out the various possible values of 'nil', which is ugly, annoying, and fragile (since it would silently break if we added a third type); or it can be done using reflection.

#3 is obviously the most reasonable thing to do here.
You can just copy the files, there is no need for tools to prepare boot media. UEFI will look for efi/boot/bootx64.efi file (on x64 arch) on your removable drive and boot that. There are no magic boot sectors anymore.

The issue is with filesystems recognized by UEFI firmwares. The only mandatory filesystem is FAT32. Some implementations (e.g. Intel systems) can read NTFS, but unless you are targeting such a system specifically, you get to use FAT32, period.

And here comes the issue with the Microsoft's ISO files: the install.wim file is larger than 4 GB. It is possible to split it into multiple wim files, or recompress into esd archive (which is what the Microsoft's tool does), thus fitting into FAT32 limit.
Yeah FreeBSD is not happening, sorry.
The whole IoT world is a huge mess. A large number of the products are a massive privacy nightmare, security is questionable in interoperability is a pipe dream.

I have an old house, where it location of a few switches are just completely illogical. One solution would be to install a few "smart" switches and a relay or two. If I want to stay secure and care the least bit about cost and privacy, there's no choice other than run an open source gateway solution, funnily enough it's also the only solution that will work with almost everything.
They're still not selling to the Nordics, even though (most of us) are in the EU or at least very similar law-wise.

There a lot of talk about just doing leetcode and getting into a FAANG. I have done many interviews (as interviewer) at FAANGs and leetcode is good for an intern or straight out of college gig. For more senior roles, yes, we expect you to demonstrate that you can program by writing code, but the yes/no decision will be based on your experience and your ability to describe it in detail and have insights about it.

On the other side of the leetcode discussion, I’ve worked at a company that managed to hire someone with zero ability to program based on their ability to bullshit. I personally loathe doing leetcode myself, but I won’t hire someone who can’t take a stab at it, and I don’t want to work somewhere where my colleagues might be bullshit artists.

Now this doesn’t apply so much at startups, because founders generally don’t tolerate hiring decisions that would kill their company. So for example our first engineer at one place had a six hour interview where they broke down this game engine that they themselves had written. So, “it depends”.
Hence obsolescence management to litterally keep the trains running, sometimes even on time. And no, regardless of what smart phones do, you do not update a running, and certified, piece of equipment with a real technical need to do so. One of the reasons rail, and air, travel are as safe as they are.

And it is not just signaling, it is rail car and engine systeks as well, down to the last mechanical and electronic component.

I do not disagree with your opinion. I also think more research is needed.

However, one must not read too much into observational studies, either, as many times their interpretation isn't corroborated by stronger science. A good resource for laymen on how to read studies would be this one:

https://examine.com/guides/how-to-read-a-study/

Meanwhile, minimizing the risk of CVD, the leading cause of death worldwide, does seem like a good idea, no?
Possible. But I guess I should maybe wait for the change to actually happen, then send the equipment back to them and ask for a refund, and only sue them if they are not refunding me?
How are you dealing with the overwhelming amount of GenAI coming out?
[Title] Do y'alls think it's a bit too excessive. We're experimenting and coming with a lot of things at the same amount. Dalle-2, Midjourney, Stability, ChatGPT . . . more and more coming out. I don't know what to make of this, sometimes it feels a bit overwhelming. At the same time, people start saying these GenAI will replace this, that etc. etc.
How much of it will actually hold true.
This is wonderful! Thank you very much!
Nothing changed in the legislation from when those companies stated their concerns.

I am not OP but one of the things I have seen these people do is to insist on removing words like "nitty gritty" from our developer documentation by calling it racist.
Not a dig at OP but putting "senior developer" on your resume after only 2 years of experience really sets expectations.
Oh that I fully agree; sorry, I was only thinking cookies. I too have got Android devices with built-in crapware that ask for permissions and ad tracking again and again because I keep tapping "no". Chinese brands are the worst at this, even the damned built-in file manager has ads.
Looking at pre-car city street scenes, not many people rode horses. Most horses pulled carts and coaches. Of course, a shying horse attached to one of those can still kill people.

> unless you are extremely talented and can pick up everything on your own

The question is more whether anyone will look at your CV if you didn't do these advanced topics at uni. Most things people can and do learn on their own. If you look at how uni works, what did you do? You went there and found out what you needed to learn, and then spent a bunch of time studying it on your own. There was never enough time in a class to learn things just by watching.
Only if:

- you want to boot in legacy mode (and your machine supports CSM)

- your UEFI firmware supports NTFS (only mandatory filesystem is FAT32).

Otherwise, if you want generic, UEFI boot media, you would have to find out how to boot from FAT32 partition and once your system runs, how to run installer from another partition.

>as scientifically accurate as anti-vaxxing

I don't know what the ultimate answers are, but the arguments skeptical of the COVID [mRNA] vaccines-that-proffer-neither-immunity-nor-any-lasting-protection are on completely different grounds than what was previously called "anti-vax", being against vaccines that do provide lasting immunity. The use of the term "anti-vax" should not be used in such a confusing way, it would be like insisting on labelling a well known and safe anti-viral as "horse dewormer".
It does. It has to boot in the first place. Only after windows kernel is running, it can read filesystems it supports.
For certification, I don't think it's important for FAANG - a referral or other way of getting a recruiter to get you to an interview, and passing the interview, is all that really matters.

The only part of a degree course that really matters in an interview context is algorithm analysis. You need to understand how the cost, in space and time, of code you write scales with the size of inputs.

Degrees and certificates from reputable organizations may be important for getting a H-1B visa though, should you want to emigrate in the future.

My understanding is that for triglycerides, lower is basically better, outside of "extremely low as an indicator for disease". For example, https://academic.oup.com/clinchem/article/60/5/737/5621637 . Can you point me at reading on the lower bounds for them?

(I ask because my labs routinely show very low triglycerides - generally in the 65-70mg/dL range - which I've been told is a very good sign for heart health.)
