> It's like the elephant thinking about the ant.

Accidentally a perfect analogy, because elephants do think about ants, and take steps to avoid them. The only other small animal they avoid is bees (not mice).

And just like ants, the EFF are one group that could have lots of tiny little warriors scaling up inside Facebook's fleshy trunk.

I hope tools like this can replace the extensive pesticide usage we currently have. If the energy usage and price per unit gets low enough, you could probably amortize the cost over multiple years and pay less than for buying pesticides every year.
So... same captive situation, you're just hoping they exploit you less?

Neither of them are particularly transparent or accountable from a privacy perspective. It's kinda funny that someone would acknowledge the helplessness of the present duopoly, then claim they feel safe inside the lion's cage because "I already fed him earlier".
It's fine & I've used that. Given a name (say Jones) then the possessive is with a "'s" suffix (Jones's) but for by convention you can elide the final "s" to avoid duplication (so: Jones'). I'm happy that can be done with a "z", hence Baez' is fine.
I'm not sure there is any conflict where "close to 100%" of war crimes are committed by one side. I'm not trying to "both-sides" this discussion, but that is in all likelihood an overstatement.
Working with raw bytes is not the problem, out-of-bounds writes is the problem. A language can allow you to read and write raw bytes while still ensuring (either statically or at runtime) that you aren't able to access memory that isn't yours.

Which it does.

Not to demonstrate real world doctor-patient communication complexity, which could be complicated even further, I expect.

I personally contact my doctor many ways, including through Discord, particular gaming world interfaces, or his wife.

I recommend that everyone find a doctor with this kind of availability.

That mascot/logo is adorable. I just want to feed it!!
True, but it gives people a jumping off point if they want to learn more. Many / most people don't want more than just the summary ("assume everything you put in the cloud might be leaked, so consider the consequences"), but for those who want to learn more, this is where I can point them :)
Thanks for the great reply, really appreciate it. I found the basic setup to be quite straightforward – using zsh which seems like a lucky choice now :D

I'm currently working on a backoffice software. You can do that with literally any language/framework. But as you mentioned, adding near-instant sync for different users would simply be a breeze compared to any backend with a React-ish frontend from what I saw so far. And I can totally see affordances for such a type of software going into this direction.
Wondering if someone can pick up that market gap.
Yes, this is their usual MO: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Firehose_of_falsehood
To jam something, you ideally jam the same frequency, PRN code, and direction.

If you don't know frequency, you need to jam a wide range of frequencies. Defences like frequency hopping make use of this. Bluetooth uses this for example, to prevent inadvertent jamming. In GPS, frequencies aren't secret.

If you don't know the code, you need to jam with as much power as the benefit of the code. For GPS, thats a 10x 1024 bit code, which provides 43 dB of processing gain. This can be increased almost without limit, as long as you don't plan to move much during the code period. There are clever methods to make encryption keys double-up as PRN codes that the enemy doesn't know.

For direction, it depends on the receiver. Your phone has an omnidirectional receiver, so the attacker is 'on par with' the real signal. A military directional phased array system might have 200 elements, and therefore 30db of gain.

Add that up, and the enemy needs to use far far more signal power than the real signal to 'outshine' it. Turns out that's pretty much impossible - and if they get near to doing that, your biggest problem is probably being cooked by their jammer.
That's so wide it says nothing. It's not even a soccer field, much less a goal post.
Well, there's always the possibility that this time it will be the last. Maybe the last peak is when it reaches global awareness and there's no new people to bring into the system. And I suspect it already reached that in the last cycle with Superbowl ads and Filipinos working in Axle Infinity.

Although, I feel cryptocurrency is already too big to ever end completely.
Tangentially I want to mention that rinsing dishes before running the dishwasher is a known anti-pattern. The first washing cycle is exactly that - a rinsing cycle. I know this is off-topic but saving water is always a good idea.

In my experience visual tools like RoseRT can quickly turn into an obstacle. I think it's super important to not only know what the non-code solutions may be good at but also keep the solution limited or at least be prepared to go back to code if the problem domain is complex enough.

Businesses that sell a lot of products that people actually want and do not end up returning. The money for advertising is not sustainable if it doesn't result in some sort of purchase down the line.
How does that help someone who has built your product into their working procedures? When you decide to stop doing it they are in an even worse situation than the Jamboard users because presumably you will repossess the hardware.
I wrote about some of these issues client-side, in a previous post about a Rust metaverse client. This is a much worse problem in a metaverse system, because there are no static game level maps. Every object in the world is in a database somewhere.

Second Life / Open Simulator makes a big distinction between assets, inventories and area state. Assets (meshes, textures, animations, sounds) are immutable, and are stored more or less permanently. (There's a garbage collection batch job that runs monthly or so) Those are basically files. There's a vanilla web service running on an AWS web server, and Akamai, both heavily cached.

Inventories are like file directories. They have asset UUIDs and some metadata (name, etc.) Those are in a database, but that data is dynamic and not cached. Each user has an inventory, of course, and it can be huge. 50,000 items are not unheard of. This is a metaverse; you can build stuff.

Area state is in server memory for each region. That's saved periodically, once a minute or so. This is a backup file, not a database. If you wanted a more continuous save process, you could keep a log of recent changes on a different machine than the server. After a crash, reload the server state and rerun the recent changes. Area state is under a gigabyte per region (A region is 256x256 meters).

With a three level system like this, none of the levels are severely overloaded. The greatest data volume is from the asset store, and because that's immutable, it can be and is cached extensively. There are three levels of caches - asset server, CDN, and client. It's still a problem getting assets out to the clients fast enough, but with prioritization and concurrency, that's solveable. The inventory database is mostly-read, so the usual scaling techniques for mostly-read databases work. Area state is in memory. The main trick is taking a clean backup without visibly freezing the system.
Um, mass quarantines of healthy people is not unprecedented. It was, in fact quite common through history when outbreaks seemed to be getting out of control. First they'd quarantine families. Then neighborhoods. Then entire cities. In fact, during the pre-industrial times, entire cities would be quarantined and sometimes, if anyone tried to escape, they would be executed. While a reasonable arguments can be made about whether the various flavors of Covid quarantines were necessary or effective, to say they are unprecedented is simply wrong.
FCKGW-... is the OG XP key.
Google's business model is such that it needs to invade privacy in order to make money. It's also made up of human beings who are subject to self-serving bias (believing that they have no bad intentions, therefore nothing will go wrong). So yeah, they're going to lobby for less privacy and claim that they want more of it and feel just fine about doing that.
Polonius Revisited: Part 2
Cryptocurrencies have not actually invented much new technology, they mostly combined existing ideas in new ways. Merkel trees, for example, are an almost 50 year old idea, zero-knowledge proofs are almost 40 years old, proof of work predates Bitcoin by 15 years which makes it 30 years old.

I think this article is over the top. You don't lose control of your data if you store it, let's say, on S3. Use encryption if you wanna be safe.

You can write a similar article about storing data on a local system. It can get stolen, it can get hacked (ransomware). If you delete a file from your local drive there may be still data on disk. Software and OS often ping home and may read along. To think you have control if not in the cloud is an illusion.

Sure, cloud services have different security concerns but to think that it is uncontrollable is just a step to far for me. Also note that there a lot of different cloud services. A lot of privacy concerns have been related to SaaS. To think that you lose control of your data at the moment when using dropbox or S3, start a container (or an enclave),is just not realistic.
I respect that, and I hope my question didn't seem like criticism.

I suppose we're fortunate that options like Xfce and MATE are around, but I can relate re: compatibility. Truthfully I'd be just as happy with MATE as with GNOME 3.x, but last time I tried I ran into issues with high DPI and mixed DPI and didn't want to invest time trying to get it all working to my satisfaction.
i appreciate this counter-example; thanks. i was hoping there was a way to get real enums in go.
In addition, it's unwise to consider this outlet a reliable source of information for anything to do with twitter; their 'thing' prior to the buyout seemed to be tweeting videos that quite consistently went hyper-viral. Post the buyout they seem to be having a degree of difficulty achieving the same virality. One may speculate as to why that is.
It's less of an equation and more of a counter example for how absurdly oversimplified and privileged the position of "just ignore it" is.

>Yes the solution to racist speech is to just ignore it.

Citation needed. As a foreigner living in Germany it's pretty obvious they've drawn different conclusions than that.

I'll also point out that there is nothing obvious about how free speech is defined (by Americans). There's obviously limits to speech, it's just been delineated into the constitutional "free speech" and the colloquial notion of "free speech". Which you seem to be conflating (or assuming that I care about). The OP is squarely about the more colloquial understanding of the word.

No, you don't. If your module relies on compile time checks for validity, there's no reason for you to also include runtime checks. Other developers breaking your defined contract is not your responsibility, it's not even a bug.

Possibly, but that doesn't change anything.
I maintained my disc sub to the bitter end. Although I rarely used it, it was frequently the only way to view many older or more obscure films without an outright full-retail-price purchase, and even then, good luck on availability. I lament its passing and worry very much that it's function as a pseudo-film library for the average person is no longer available anywhere.

Similarly, someone mentioned to me recently a novel that they had read partially, but could only remember that it was originally written in Spanish, was very long, had a number for a title, and centered around themes of rape and murder. When I told ChatGPT I was looking for such a novel, it refused to help me. When I reset the context and told it I couldn’t remember the name of the novel, it immediately gave me 2666 by Roberto Bolaño.

I have to admit I felt a little judged that ChatGPT refused to cater to what it saw as my overly prurient interest when it thought I was seeking a book recommendation as opposed to trying to remember the name of a novel already known to exist.

On the contrary, the “boring” deaths should be taking very seriously, there is nothing light or humorous about pointing out that most people die not from sensationalized ways that make good headlines, but from avoidable conflicts.

For example four US State Department employees killed in Benghazi Libya got wayyyyy more coverage than the millions of Libyans living in a violent failed state, including the thousands who were just killed in a Kakhovka-like dam disaster directly attributable to NATO’s invasion in 2011.

Or for example one Kashoggi got wayyyy more coverage than the millions facing starvation in Yemen. YCombinator even mused aloud whether they can take Saudi money BECAUSE OF KASHOGGI. This is obscene! What about the other people, do they count? Did millions of dead Afghans count? Bengalis?

As for Bucha — yes of course there were war crimes which should be fully investigated and prosecuted, and dozens of people were killed in gruesome ways. But FAR MORE people in Bucha were killed in the way I said — shrapnel during a firefight - fleschettes indiscriminately hitting civilians including with neutral white armbands:

https://amp.theguardian.com/world/2022/apr/24/dozens-bucha-c...

That should not be surprising. You should look past media’s hunger for sensationalism… I spoke to ACTUAL PEOPLE who went through Bucha afternath, I heard eyewitness accounts from people from Kyiv who were there and saw the holes in top floors ripped by tanks, firing at fighters that have RPGs. And even the Azov battallion had people in Bucha, deployed to fight agains the tanks…

https://mronline.org/2022/04/06/questions-abound-about-bucha...

…and ALL of it could have been avoided, including while the tanks were going to Kyiv in a comically slow plodding way, with stops along the way “running out of fuel”. Here is the Israeli PM in his own words saying he negotiated a truce in principle between the two presidents, but was blocked by USA and UK: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0yma0LxyVVs

It is not, at least not since I've had my eyes dilated in exams (every year or every other for the past 25 years). OP was editorializing. There is no mandated minimum time between dilation and driving, though obviously people should be cautious if dilation strongly impacts their vision. For me, I'm usually back to "normal" (near vision still sucks, but I don't read books while driving; far vision is fine) by the time I've finished ordering new lenses and paying.
>Why not ban utopian authoritarians?

Because we can’t ban everything doesn’t mean we shouldn’t earnestly try. It’s not a viable option, but the lesson must be relearned every generation or so. It’s always self-nullifying. People want safety, but need freedom.
Lots more logistics involved with physical compared to streaming. Time is zero sum, you they could of had a small profit off the 1 million users but they probably found the focusing on other lines of business would be more profitable or less of a hassle.
It's stuff that just creeps in. Enum values can come from outside (json, anything non-literal). Now you have to do validation, because the bad values parse and for sure exist at some stage in your program.

Grindr does operate in Europe, though. And its core functionality relies on hella location data (my friend in college used to check whether his roommate was home by opening Grindr and seeing if his roommate was the closest match... 5m away? guess he's home!) so I think requiring them to use that data appropriately is prudent.
Note that this is a vulnerability in the encoder, not the decoder.
>What relevant contributions did RMS made, since gcc and emacs?

Let's be fair here: stall man's last technical contributions were when he was Linus's current age. Some people will code to their deathbed but I don't think that is a requirement to properly champion tech. He's more than paid his dues there.

Tech is relatively young and Stallman is one of the oldest living people left. Older than Gates, older than Jobs if he was still alive today. I see Linus less as a comparison so much as a torch Stallman's generation passed on.
I tried to make a graph of the total number of discs shipped from the timeline, eventually I got lazy and just did a search to see if someone else already had that graph. Instead, I found this graph that breaks down the revenues by DVDs versus streaming:

In most data architectures the DB is only the backing store, because no matter how fast your database is it's going to be slower than RAM.

Once you start caring about the performance the second thing you do is stick a cache layer of one sort or another in front of the database; the first thing should be making sure you have the correct indexes.

In any case, it sounds like a distributed cache problem. I wonder if you could just abuse redis for your game backend?

> did we mess up somewhere and fail to convey this aspect of the hacker spirit to the youth? or are things just changing too rapidly?

I think that young people today don't perceive themselves as having any free time, and so they treat new things as they're taught in school: optimize the solution, get your grade/get paid, and go back to the precious little free time you have available to enjoy your life.

The disappearing free time is partially true, as the reach of the school environment grows and homework/extracurricular burdens increase. It's also partially imagined, because most young people burn 4-9 hours per day on their phones. It's not their fault, since phones are designed to be addicting for young people specifically. However, the end result is that the class of people who should be the most restless, virile, excited, and driven in society--kids age 12-20--is the most over-scheduled and exhausted.

If you took a modern young person and stuck them on a reservation where the level of technology and pace of life matched the '80s and '90s, they'd start behaving like young people again.
That's part of it, the other parts are the rise of ransomware (enabled by cryptocurrency?), geopolitical drama with Russia/China, and large commercial ML models appetite for data. I would say cloud is 3rd or 4th down the list.
