I think the point is: In code reviews, if you see a blob like that you would ask for more information. Me as lead developer, I go every monday through all commits on master, and PRs pushed in the last days, because I unfortunately cannot review every single PR, but I delegate it to the team.. nevertheless, Monday, I review the last week commits.. Quite funny that it didn't raise any attention. One can say: "right, its open source, people do it in their free time", ok, fine, but not the people working for SUSE, which for instance allowed this code reach their packages, even though they have multiple review steps there..

You must be a boomer. They’re the only ones I have ever heard this from.

GenX here, and I haven’t heard that from any of my cohort or younger. My wife and I are DINKs straddling the threshold of our sixth decade, and have received NO pushback from being child free. And the younger people are considerably more progressive than even we are.

Think you've got that backwards, there's nothing fundamental about Dual_EC_DRBG that prevents anyone else exploiting it, while the xz vulnerability is gated with a specific private key.
It's time we start charging big for this negative externality of modern capitalism.

By the way, if our data is worth money then companies using our data without consent are stealing from us in the same sense that piracy or patent infringement is stealing. Big corporations cannot have it both ways.
I have the fami one too and was also surprised that it’s become my favorite. I like that it has usb support and comes with a usb wireless adapter in addition to Bluetooth, so it’s easy to use with something like a raspberry pi with no setup.

It has a nice macro system too. I was able to swap alt and win key positions to match the Mac layout. It’s done in the firmware so the layout is persistent between machines.

With 3rd party cookies going away, a lot of companies are relying on ipv4 and ipv6 hashes to correlate users across sites with first party cookies.

In other words, if Giphy has your email and IP address, they can help companies like LinkedIn and other brokers de-anonymize IP addresses more accurately with higher percent accuracy.

ISPs could mitigate this by rotating IPs every week, but of course you typically get 1 IP and it rarely changes.
> Edibles have to be of such low potency it is laughable.

I must be a lightweight because just about every edible I take knocks me on my ass. They certainly seem more potent than the flower I get at the dispensaries in my area.
By "local class return", do you mean a function that returns what Java calls an "inner class"? That's perfectly describable (in C++ as well) if the inner class is public rather than private. It's unnameable, not because of the type, but because of the access (private).
Thank you this game is incredible. I just learned about it from this post and I’ve already played three times mostly with people who have never played an rpg before. Instant hilarious fun for everyone.

> most academics are tone-deaf and incredibly petty individuals

Yep, their egos get inflated from interacting with students all the time.

If you have been teaching the same subject for 10 or more years, and you are constantly interacting with people who are learning it for the first time and struggling, it's easy to become arrogant.

I'll go 1 step further and say that most of the advice academics give out in terms of learning has been counterproductive for me.

There have been some exceptions, but I have been disappointed for the most part.
My favorite know-nothing gamer meme these days is "bad optimization". What they mean is that the performance is worse than what they would expect (?) on a given hardware configuration and game settings.

They haven't poked around with RenderDoc, they don't have the debug symbols to profile the CPU code, they have zero idea what kind of work the software needs to do, they simply know the lazy devs have failed to "optimize" their game.
I was expecting this statement to be expounded:

> Unfortunately this meant some of the performance wins needed to be sacrificed to avoid an increased memory footprint.
Untrue in my case. Needing to create a Twitter account stopped me going to the site at all.
Nothing is free. The internet always costs someone. If it's free, you're likely the product being sold.
As someone who knows people who died in a crash with another drunk driver, it is hard for me to accept your view. Certainly, at a bare minimum, the penalties for drunk driving that results in fatality should be much harsher than they are now -- at that point there is hard empirical evidence that you cannot be trusted to have the "skill and maturity" necessary for driving -- but we can't even bring ourselves to do that, not even for repeat offenders.

Eventually I am optimistic that autonomous driving will solve the problem entirely, at least for those who are responsible drivers. In an era of widely available self-driving cars, if you choose to drive drunk, then that is an active choice, and no amount of "social lubrication" can excuse such degenerate behavior.
That article does not back up the claim that Meta is a state-actor.

On git commands that accept pathspec, other git adjacent tools also accept path spec. e.g. I tend to use gitk or tig with a pathspec when looking at a bug in a particular file or directory.

> having to explicitly start/stop the VM, SSH into it, set up port forwarding, figure out a core count & RAM size which is large enough to be useful yet small enough to work on everyone's machine, having to set up rsync wrappers because the NFS host mount is unusably slow...

All this is still kind of true for Docker on any other platform than Linux. There’s still a VM behind the scenes, and you still have to configure and manage it.

However, I personally do avoid that — when I use Docker “on” macOS, I skip the hassle of actually running the Docker daemon locally, by instead having a little headless Linux mini-PC that exposes the Docker control socket over Tailscale to me, and configuring my local Docker client to connect to it. This not only gets `docker run` streaming to a local PTY, but even streams input files for `docker build` to the Docker daemon, entirely transparently. It’s really nice, as I never have to worry about whether Docker Desktop is running, has enough memory, is taking up my local disk space, etc.

Surely there’s a way to do something like this but for vagrant? A Vagrant “thin client” that runs all the VMs on an IaaS service or in-office hypervisor cluster?

> Vagrant is great for setting it up, but it doesn't really have a solution to changing it. Want to add a package? Nuke the VMs, start from scratch, and hope nobody runs into install issues.

Option 1 (centrally managed Vagrant VMs via MDM): Keep the VM’s rootfs volume separate from its /home + /var volume, and push updates to the rootfs volumes via MDM (ideally using a binary diff system like Courgette.)

Option 2: build a chroot under /opt with versions of everything you care about, using e.g. Nix. Then create an apt/RPM package that in turn uses chef/puppet/etc to update this chroot within the VMs. (This is basically what Gitlab does for their self-hosted installable.)

Still not as good as just pulling a new Docker image… but possible.

To things in perspective, Canada has roughly the same number of immigrant and foreign student as the US but they are 1/10 the population.

And regarding the house prices... last year they built around 200k new homes (all types, including condos) for >1M new Canadians.
1. both lzip and xz are using lzma compression library internally, so there is no difference in their compression ratio/speed

2. lzma compression is LZ + markov chains, while zstd is LZ + order-0 entropy coder (similar to zlib, rar and many other popular algorithms)

markov chains are higher-order entropy coding, i.e. one using context of previous data. it's slower, but sometimes gives better compression. but text files don't get any benefit from it. OTOH, various binary formats, like executables or databases, get significantly better compression ratio. in my tests lzma-compressed binary files are ~~10% smaller on average.

so, many claims that zstd and lzma provides the same compression ratio, are based on testing on text or other files that don't benefit from higher-order entropy coding. of course, I imply maximum-compression setting and equal dictionary size, in order to make fair comparison of compression formats rather than particular implementations.

(I'm author of freearc and several LZ-based compressors, so more or less expert in this area :)
Easy. Just redefine hope. Problem solved.
Unregulated data collection = $, use some of that $ for lobbying and campaign contributions to hold off regulation as long as possible. Politicians can hold a couple hearings then throw up their hands and feign confusion so nothing gets changed.

Eventually, the public won’t stand for it, but you can keep the music going for a pretty long time by just greasing the palms of politicians.

Wow. Giphy must have drastically changed since my last interactions with the dev team ~2016. Back then they actually went out of their way to respond to (and fix!) my bug reports for obscure Firefox forks. I was really impressed with them.

The natural lifecycle of free image hosts is well known and short though. Enshittification is inevitable.
Docker is infinitely better on linux. There is a lot of merit to the idea that if you're building for linux servers, build in a linux environment.

So much life-force is wasted in trying to make Docker on another OS behave like linux.

It is ironically, easier to run Docker, an linux inside something like a Virtual box an enjoy near native experience.
Where it turns into mania, in my experience, is when you start doubling down repeatedly. If your good feeling comes from believing that you are making a huge change in your life, you get anchored to the rate of change, and start needing bigger and bigger feelings to keep up.

It's a kind of self-ponzi scheme - nothing has tangibly gotten better, all you have is the belief.
> Have you tried looking at zig?

I have given it a very cursory look, but ultimately it doesn't fit my needs for reasons unrelated to the features of the language. Specifically, I'm releasing my C work under the GPL and would not like to write off the possibility of integrating into GNU. Zig doesn't have a GPL implementation (Rust has one which is committed to reaching maturity).

Well, docker is basically the same thing without the excess resource usage (wastage in many cases) of a type 2 hypervisor.

Also, had a long-forgotten setup with vagrant that I later came back to and couldn't start the VM after a couple of upgrades to vagrant & its dependencies. So take that as you will.

You may be able to find an extension for your browser of choice to do just that! I have one for Firefox but I’m on mobile right now and can’t find it. I can send it later if you’d like. But they do exist!
If that's the case, then it looks like legislation may be the only fix here.

Retirement communities are housing, and more of course. Yet housing is well protected, so whatever legislation protects such homes should be expanded it seems.

It's very simple: Because these machines were for the most part cost-cut to the very bone for people to be able to afford buying them at all.

When I bought my first Amiga, an Amiga 500 was the most I could afford. When I could afford to add a (sidecar) harddrive, that was all I could afford. If I were to wait until I could afford an Amiga 2000 and an internal harddrive, that might have been cheaper than the combination but it would have meant waiting a couple of years to get one at all.

These were the market realities these machines were built for. And, yes, that made it a lot less attractive for machines targeting business customers.

But I'll note not so much because of the cost of the boxes - my first harddrive cost almost as much as Amiga had cost. Used. It'd have been almost as expensive as an expansion card for a big box, because the controller was pretty much a full computer on it's own, and the drive itself was ridiculously expensive.
Basic math. I'm amazed how little I remember 11 years after finishing high school.

I also want to learn some frontend.

I started learning Rust some time ago.

I really need to remind me a lot of basic IT topics.

The problem is how much I'd really learn.

I enjoy the gameplay, the mechanic of building up big words to eat through the opponents structure is really cool! I'm a big addict of wordle and quina as well. Word games in general still feel unexplored, I always expect them not to be fun and then get sucked in.
Video calls are a big missing feature, that's one of the only reasons I have an alternative installed alongside it. From what I've heard, the devs have said that the reason why native audio/video calls aren't planned literally just comes down to complexity and the maintenance cost.

Matrix has been focusing more recently on trying to break some core functionality out into modules that can be imported -- encryption being the biggest example of this. Movement in that direction for video/audio would be a big deal. It's not just that Fluffychat needs help getting video working -- that would only leave them with another chunk of code to maintain. Ideally, they should be able to import a common library for this, but as far as I know, none exists that's usable for their needs.

Matrix video calls are a good example of this kind of ecosystem need in general -- Element had video calls before the spec actually supported video... because it used a Jitsi plugin. And that 3rd-party offering bought time for the spec authors to come up with more robust native support.

The problem is that 3rd-party clients offering the same support is still wildly complicated. There's a lot of room for improvement there.

Skyrocketing wealth, skyrocketing quality of life, and decreasing wealth inequality?

It explains it as-is. It’s an economic powerhouse with almost zero drag on its markets (thus skyrocketing wealth) that also semi-effectively mitigates productivity capture by the upper classes.
It's not a "donation", because it's not NOMPY (Not On My PropertY); we're not talking about expropriation here. NIMBYs are opposed to other people/companies/the government doing what they want with their property. They're not taking from you in the form of a coerced donation, you're taking freedom from them.

This applies to the financial perspective as well. Contra NIMBY fears, development increases property values. A plot of land where a developer can build an apartment is worth vastly more than one restricted to single family housing; a home close to amenities and well connected by transit is more desirable than one in the middle of nowhere, etc. A plot of land in New York City ain't cheap, and it's not because NIMBYs managed to keep it nice and quiet - it's precisely because the city was allowed to develop and densify. So, again, it's the NIMBYs taking from others (and themselves), not vice versa.
Whats the definition of long-term?

A lot of mining towns became ghost towns (i.e. Cerro Gordo [1]) and in those situations even the merchants are out of business. It's not like we stopped mining silver though; the prospectors moved on to other areas.

Like if TPUs replace GPUs then Nvidia is looking at a decrease in growth. The horse shoe sellers go out of business just as fast as the horse shoe maker does.

If a man in the middle relays a public key challenge, that will indeed result in a valid connection, but the connection will be encrypted such that only the endpoints (or those who possess a private key belonging to one of the endpoints) can read the resulting traffic. So the man in the middle is simply relaying an encrypted conversation and has no visibility into the decrypted contents.

The man in the middle can still perform denial of service, by dropping some or all of the traffic.

The man in the middle could substitute their own public key in place of one of the endpoint's public keys, but if each endpoint knows the other endpoint's key and is expecting that other key, then an unexpected substitute key will raise a red flag.
> it [GPL] does require that you make the source code to your changes available downstream, to the people you distribute the code to

Many corporations don't distribute GPL derived software to users, but "package" it as a web service instead. That way they are not required to make their changes open and available to users.

> [> Open source should be open, for everyone] ...for everyone, except for users of modified versions of the project, apparently?

If modifications provide enough added value to users (so they use less open modified version instead of the open source product), shouldn't the developers be able to freely decide which business model they want to utilize? Not everything can be made sustainable using the GPL license.
It's a "does this compile on this platform" test, not a "does this function return what we expect" test.
After reading about the situation that Lasse Collin was in with xz before their mental health problems were exploited by a likely state actor I'm 100% not fucking apologizing for using that word to describe how unpaid maintainers of critical open source software are being treated. It is more or less fucking appalling and if I have to use shocking language to get the point across I absolutely fucking will. And I'm tired as fuck of how we can't use any strong language to talk about situations that demand strong language because some theoretical person might take offense to it. This is fucking bullshit and needs to change, and we need fewer language gatekeeping assholes who aren't making anything better. So sick of this shit.
Yes all of that stuff you posted was sure objective. It’s amazing how triggered you got at the mere suggestion that Elon might have made a mistake. Real snowflake energy.
