tl;dr

Cryptographers are searching for encryption schemes that can withstand attacks from both classical and quantum computers, as the emergence of quantum computing poses a threat to current encryption methods. They have yet to find a problem that is provably hard for computers to solve. The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) is working on post-quantum encryption algorithms, with CRYSTALS-Kyber being recommended for public use by 2024.

This article discusses the history of encryption, the rise of quantum computing as a threat, and the challenges in finding quantum-resistant cryptographic schemes. It emphasizes the need to strike a balance between mathematical complexity and practical implementation for data security in the future. Cryptographers continue to search for encryption methods that can resist both classical and quantum computer attacks, given the uncertainty in the future of data security.
That's deliberately deciding so spend less on fighting fraud (i.e. no humans in the process) at the cost of collateral victims.

This shouldn't be legal.

You could say that of every social network that allows people to post whatever they desire. Of course I know there are many people who would rather see us go back to when only an approved set of people were given a microphone. There will always be authoritarians.
Why React is a top choice For Front-end Development in 2023 and why top companies like Facebook and Netflix are embracing this technology.

React's flexibility, scalability, and superior user experience make it a top choice for web and mobile app development. Elevate your projects with a framework that simplifies complex UIs, reduces development time, and enhances user engagement.
Any suggestions for a small agency that handles sites with a lot of personal information?

I work in a small shop and things are messy. Similar to having hundreds of WordPress sites, but we managed to standardize the main set of plugins we use on all clients (this has its own git repo), and clients will have their custom theme and some custom plugins (in another repo).

Ideally we would have a tool that lets us spin up a dev site for any client, fetch the production database from the last backup, anonymize the data, connect an IDE and have git commit access.
Autotools was a perfectly reasonable way of solving 1993 problems with 1993 tools. Whether it still makes any sense in 2023 a different matter... Having said that, given the choice between a non-working autoconf build scheme, and a non-working cmake build scheme, I prefer the former, but that may just be me getting old and lazy. Obviously, a working setup of anything would be much preferrable, but that seems like hopeless case if one is using anything other than the most popular Linux distro at the moment...
Why is the ad screenshot clean without the cedilla mark under K?
I agree with you mostly, but it's funny how you say we should move on, but then suggest using pixels, as if that wasn't repeating the problem with aligning to characters.

The alignment logic should be separated from the appearance: use some codepoint to mark each cell of a column, calculate the minimum x from all cells of the column, and then - when displaying text - apply eventual font hinting to round up (right) this x…
I live in a country with fast enough 5MB/s and huge ping (300ms+) internet. There is no problem with installing packages, downloading deps and so on, but realtime remote typing or gaming could be really clunky.

Don't forget that you don't need a fast ping for development (with local env). "Good internet" is a very broad definition.
Which wouldn’t be a particularly unreasonable position to take?

e.g. if we think about the US constitution and other similar documents
Absolutely, and argo really falls short when you have more complex patterns, like monorepos and promotion between different envs. Then you have to revert to argo events and workflows anyways and script your way through it.

The most awesome thing about Airdrop is when you can find the other device, and even more magical if you can do that on the first try: you can send files without being on the same network or heck, you don't even need to be connected to the Internet at all. That is neat.
Ha! I’m at Pycon MEA and yesterday a speaker from Namibia was talking about how one of the hurdles in evangelizing Python in Africa was that people thought of dangerous snakes and didn’t like it.
Why doesn't that sponsored ad show www.ķeepass.info? I only see the screenshot from browser where it shows that speck of dust there.
I appreciate that the author took the initiative to improve upon the original project, yet it's also understandable that the original developer might borrow some of those improvements. After all, that's the essence of open-source—to collaboratively make something better.
Don't need for book references, that is how it is today in many countries, and it has been always in less democratic societies.
I live in a non-english speaking country, technically we do have non-ascii domains, but they're very rare, absolute majority of websites use latin letters.

Though I think there's nothing wrong with punycode with dedicated first-level domains. like кремль.рф (does not exist, but I'm too lazy to find one).
Sounds like speculation to me. Anything to back that up?
Isn't ignoring ads easier (so 0. Use an adblocker)? How often would a scam rank higher than the legitimate domain?

Maybe also 4. use a package manager?
> sellers don't want to sell because they all locked in killer rates on their current homes

What happens is that house prices drop way below what they paid, and ends up equalizing their monthly payments with what someone who buys at the higher-rate-but-lower-price is paying. Except these people are locked into their current arrangement, since they cannot sell at a price that would cover the debt.

Some can ride this out over a number of years, some will end up taking a big hit because, for one reason or another (divorce, child birth, etc.) they have to sell and move. If you're old enough you will have seen this play out before.

Mine looks like an annual calendar. A grid 3 wide and 4 down. Each box is a month. January is top-left, and December bottom-right. Each row is a quarter and starts with January, April, July, and October, respectively.

If I had to pick a shape, it would be a zig-zag.

No doubt that this is influenced by wall calendars.
If you're not a technical type you will not be bothered with setting up a website so that's why I think centralized services will always win.
It's similar to why people don't make their own websites but just post to social media.

I can imagine a 1-click solution that would set up everything. But bandcamp also has this functionality where labels can list their artists etc so I think it wouldn't work that well.
The so called AI is very infuriating indeed. I was once banned by such dumb script because I was trying to call my cell operator via a regular telephone number and there were some technical issues either at my phone or at the base station, and calls were dropping. After about 5 tries I got a robot answer that I'm now banned from ever using support line for "abuse". And to appeal the ban, I would have to use a support line. Ok, I thought, I'll try robochat at the website. No luck - banned there too.
So I have resorted to searching the Facebook page and hoping that a human moderates it. Thankfully I got to a human support and they revoked this ban.

I've stopped posting anything on the Facebook a few years ago and keep the account alive just to have a backup contact option with dumb corpos.

They probably mean in the context of the thread. Layoffs are not a good thing, definitely not with Bandcamp, where the curators and writers are essential. But they are specifically bad in this context if they target union team members.

There's a lot of debate about whether the first amendment (freedom of speech) should apply to private platforms like Facebook, but maybe such discussion should also include the sixth amendment (right to a fair judicial process), if we take the position that these rights are inherent things that society should guarantee, not just restrictions on what the government can do.
Not just AI, it applies to any form of automated decision making (https://gdpr-info.eu/art-22-gdpr/):

The data subject shall have the right not to be subject to a decision based solely on automated processing, including profiling, which produces legal effects concerning him or her or similarly significantly affects him or her.

But there's the usual "explicit consent" caveat, which Meta will argue they have because the user (as in: habitual consumer of harmful substances) has agreed to it in their TOS.

But then there is also a transparency requirement on automated decision making (https://gdpr-info.eu/art-15-gdpr/):

[data subject has access to] the existence of automated decision-making [and] meaningful information about the logic involved, as well as the significance and the envisaged consequences of such processing for the data subject.

This explicitly says that the user has the right to know what logic is employed by automated decision making systems.
Fascinating. It has always just been a straight line for me, left to right, Jan to Dec with year n+1 just following on.

I assumed everyone thought like this! Circular years just seems super strange to me.
No one can guarantee that, at most a remote worker can pick the one (or two if they are lucky) ISPs available to them. Anything beyond that is out of their control.

I have been working fully remote for years from a rural location. My only connection to the Internet is LTE and while it's decent most of the time, there are some days where it's pretty bad.

Luckily my dev environment is local first, which means that a few hours of high packet loss doesn't prevent me from being productive.
Another sad anecdote: A bank in Finland suspended an account for a text in free-form message field of a bank transfer. The message was for a vet visit of a dog named Ira. When you say "Ira's payment" in Finnish, you add suffix -n, so the text field said Iran, which of course must indicate money transfer to a sanctioned country. It is comforting to know that the bank system catches all the illegal activity that the sanction-busting criminals helpfully announce.

That is an absurd conclusion to draw without looking at the details of what the various organizations and institutions actually structurally do in practice.

It's not like the whole system is a magical black box that just does what it does and there is no way of knowing what is going on.

OpenAI Is in Talks to Sell Shares at an $86B Valuation
I wish they went back to this. A two year release cycle, alternating iOS and macOS could result in much more polished software, and more meaningful updates. If they took their environmental stuff really seriously they could do a two year cycle with devices too, alternating iPhone's and iPad's. I guess everything is so tightly coupled on the software side that this probably isn't possible (at least the alternating part).
Native applications should be downloaded via your distributions' channels, not from random websites.
> It's truly pathetic how Congress and the media are giving the Biden administration a free pass on refusing to acknowledge that the endless interest-rate hikes AREN'T WORKING.

The President doesn’t control interest rates, the Federal Reserve does. And the President does not control the Federal Reserve. The President nominates the board of governors and the Senate confirms them.

The current Federal Reserve chair is actually a Republican first nominated by Trump and then nominated for a second term by Biden (in fact, against pressure from the more left-leaning Democrats like AOC and Warren).

Laying the interest rate hikes solely at the Biden administration’s feet expresses a lack of understanding about how the Federal Reserve and interest rates work in the US.

There’s plenty of blame to go around here.

Edit: here’s a link to the vote for the current chair’s renomination (https://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_votes/vote1...)

I think it’s interesting because you see as diverse a group as Cruz, Hawley, Rubio, Sanders, and Warren voting together (nays) against the overwhelming majority of yeas (80 to 19 with 1 senator abstaining).
> taxes were relatively simple because I basically had two sources of income (job and interest investments). You enter 2 forms, ignore a lot of prompts in the tax software (do you do X? Do you do Y?) and go for it. You can even file your taxes for free - in theory - if you have a simple life like that. A lot of taxpayers do.

That's way too complicated. In the UK, for the vast vast majority of people, there are no forms. if you meet the criteria in this quiz [0] (self employed top 5% of earners, or other large incomes), you get a pre-filled-in form that you enter extra numbers into. For the vast vast majority of people, you never see this form, and most people who fill in this form just click through it.

> Tooling and QA folks rarely get called up at 3am on a Sunday morning because prod is down.

My (devops) team did the tooling, but we've worked very closely with QA, and while they didn't get the pages, both teams felt that they shared the responsibility of making the final product (well basically a cool tech demo) rock solid for the viewers. In 4.5 years there I've touched ca 600 projects, but I agree with you - it was still easier than doing the frontend work. Arguably less glory but definitely more life.
> Presumably such a person wouldn't need tax-return software?

Wrong. I did my first tax return by manually filling out the PDF form. Even though I only had a single income and was filing the EZ form, it took at least an hour or two. Then there were state taxes.
Airdrop is very nice when it works. Modern apple hardware has a second wifi modem for an ad-hoc connection so it can be faster than normal wifi as well.

But Apple only.. makes it much less useful, even for “Apple people”.
That is great news!
Our legal systems have already become like this. Only those with the knowledge on how to navigate the system or those qualified to interface in the expected protocols have any hope of achieving results.

I bought an USB-C to Magsafe 2 (for my 2015 mbp) cable off AliExpress to cut down on having a device-specific charger just for it.

It works for exactly one second and it fails.

It was SO BAD that AliExpress emailed me that "this product is a counterfeit and you should ask for a refund" :D

Agreed on ASCII not being suitable for a huge chunk of mankind for messaging. That said, in lieu of a better defined set of characters, it is a reliable set of characters that largely don't overlap when it comes to homograph attacks on human readable identifiers.

The only single character ones in ASCII with noticable issues are 0/O and I/l/1 (this is also why on latin alphabet gift cards, you'll often see these characters omitted entirely). The other homograph attacks on ASCII are mostly font kerning dependent (and even the two I mentioned can still be made distinct from each other in fonts).

I'm not dunking on Unicode here to be clear, Unicode is awesome. That said, bolting Unicode into unique identifiers humans are meant to read is a bad idea because of the homographs. Again; just look at how non-latin alphabet countries generally (don't) work with Unicode in things like usernames.

> As a practical step browsers should ask the user whether they want to allow URLs in a certain language the first time a non-ASCII character is entered.

This would probably help on top of the usual algorithmic blocklists that Firefox and Chrome already use (which largely rely on trying to match what sets of Unicode are used in a domain name to pick between Unicode and punycode rendering).
Yep, I have bought that a few times.

But that wouldn't be 100% of your electricity because of lights and appliances, which are still at those absurd rates. What you should do instead is install a transfer switch and a generator at home. You could even get a natural gas generator to hook up to utilities and not have to worry about refilling gasoline or propane.

That way 0% of your energy will be green!
> Punycode is of questionable use anyway

Lots of people might want to register their name, or the name of their city, etc. These all sound like valid use cases. You could say that anything beyond ascii is of questionable use, but non-English natives will always digress.
IMO email+password and/or Google sign-in are much better options.
> In a free-market economy, the companies that make less optimal decisions will have their lunch eaten by those that don't.

When the downfall of some of these companies takes more than a life time, who gives a hoot?

Lots and lots of companies are starting to be too big to (fully) fail.
I once had a specific device that wouldn’t airdrop to anything. Beyond that one device, it has always, just worked. Instantly. First try.

I wish everything were as simple to use.

Documents is the other app I use for sending files to and from iOS (primarily iPad, from Linux laptops). But I’ve run into a lot more bugs with that, and the transfer setup process requires generating and entering codes. It’s a pretty good UX, but it always reminds you how effortless airdrop is.

I love the idea of a cross platform, open source, airdrop. It’s a lofty, but worthwhile goal.
Well it's clear to me that if we want to assert humans == intelligent in all cases, then the definition must be loose enough that no healthy human can fail it, even the dumbest ones.

The fact that we are even talking about this means that there is clearly a large scale of inteligence, from mosquitos dodging a bug zapper to Von Neumann making the rest of us look like drooling idiots. It's pretty clear that the average LLM is lower than the average human on this scale, but it may also be above the dumbest one. And that scares people because we won't improve further and LLMs definitely will. Or LMMs will anyway, LLMs by themselves are a bit of a dead end with only text.
Yes, yes it does. You can specify "share by link" instead, in which case you get a HTTP server URL. In this mode, you approve each pageload in the app.
> If Apple banned 3rd party App Stores, the money would just become more concentrated. Therefore, all the developers will go to the Apple App Store...

No, they may leave the Apple ecosystem as main development platform and only use a company Macbook on the side to port their app to the appstore.

As long as Linux exists I don't really need Mac OS, I need a laptop & OS which lets me install & build arbitrary software.
iLife was the reason I bought a Mac. I dreamed of getting one for years as a kid specifically for that software suite. The web creator product in iLife was really fun, letting you publish your own good looking websites with zero know-how.
> As a practical step browsers should ask the user whether...

No, humans are far too well-trained in "just say yes and forget it". The browser should loudly flag any non-ASCII name (maybe there's a buried-deep option somewhere, to less-loudly flag it), or else it should do a bit of OCR and pop up a "DANGER - Look-Alike Domain Name..." warning.
uBlock Origin is cool and all, but what does it have to do with IDN lookalike attacks? It certainly did not block this one for me.
Or they could, you know, spend some of their billions on employing humans to review these cases.
Tragedy of the commons, essentially.

Useless and also "non-profitable".

We have seen this happen with Google+. Only Google pawns trying to convince people to use it.
The URL is an IP and a port, so it can be typed by hand. Each connecting client needs explicit approval in the app, and then gets the list of the specific files that have been shared using this method.
With cursive you don't lift the pen so you write faster, which is the point, to me at least. Like touch typing, not for everyone, but comparing it to stone carving is a stretch (although funny and thought provoking).
The first "punycode attacks" were using letters that were completely indistinguishable from the "real" ones (e.g. by using Cyrillic letters). I guess the assumption is that the user would be able to identify any letters with diacritics (even if they're indistinguishable from specks of dust on your screen) and avoid them - after all, you wouldn't go to "göogle.com" either?

How is it more ethical if you don't pay for the product and no money goes to the author? Writers always say that preorders and direct purchases really matter. Of course DRM is bad, but why is piracy ethical in this case?
