Unfortunately one can claim to "forgot my password" and use SMS OTP to reset it. Now it becomes a single factor authentication with a compromised phone.

Password + SMS OTP is strictly worse than a password. At least you cannot SIM swap your password.

I actually dislike this kind of inverse vocabulary snobbery much more than I dislike deliberate overuse of uncommon words. You can easily look up any word that you don't know. But you can never know which word is going to trigger an inverse vocabulary snob's ire.
I have a feeling that we'd end up regretting it. It would get abused in all the unnecessary ways. Kind of like the magic Docker outputs, with output previews and multiple progress bars that break into a horrible mess the moment they hit a log file, instead of a terminal.
There are many, many more, probably ranging in size to tinier than a period (.) to the 33 Sol mass (so far).

The one at the center of the galaxy is along for the ride! A good video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-P5IFTqB98
The distinction is clear and relevant because the mass distribution is strongly bimodal. A stellar black hole is the result of the gravitational collapse of a single star (well, or two at most). And maybe some of them have since then merged with a companion body. There are zillions of these in any given galaxy. Whereas there are maybe one or two supermassive black holes per galaxy, sitting in the center, with mass of millions or billions of suns, and we don’t quite know how they first formed and how they have accumulated so much mass. If the difference between "one" and "billion" doesn’t matter to you, well, ok then.

The difference is even more clear-cut because so-called intermediate mass black holes are something of a question mark. For a long time it wasn’t clear whether they even exist in any significant numbers, and even now the evidence is not especially rock-solid, especially with regard to candidate objects in the Milky Way.
Can you elaborate on this part? I am trying to understand.

> in a mature product, reading and maintaining code takes about 10 times as much effort as writing it in the first place

Wouldn't that imply that rewriting a mature codebase from scratch would take ten times less effort than reading and maintaining it?

I only saw two instances where (different) management approved a complete rewrite of a working product and in both cases it turned out to be a disaster, because it is easy to severely underestimate how much effort it will take to match the features, quality and performance of the old codebase. I suspect it is almost universally better to refactor the old codebase incrementally.

Based on that, I take that you mean something else and I didn't get your point.
One key consideration is “provable fairness”. It’s my understanding that exchanges use techniques like long, same length fiber optic cables to all racks within the exchange datacenter to convince customers that everyone is on a fair playing field.

This is a lot harder to do when a server is virtualized somewhere on some rack on EC2. Exactly as mentioned, people will try to optimize by spinning up/down instances as close to the exchange server as possible. Customers will be unhappy because they can’t prove that it’s fair, even if they have the closest server.

Overall great, thought provoking writing btw
As a developer, I get that stateless applications are more readily scalable. However, for stateful software like databases and message queues, scaling becomes a challenge and necessitates a redesign of the architecture.
@OskarS I agree with you... In fact, I have been avoiding gotos as a matter of principle for years and now reading the different discussions, I think I was misled. This case is very, very common. You have 3 intertwined loops and you want to get out. The traditional solution is to add some intermediate variables to propagate the end of the loops, with a cascade "if (toto) break;" which are far from being exquisitely elegant...
Using a function for that is really adding some more complexity and some more stuff on the stack for nothing.

Excellent, thanks. So it sounds like I was alive, I was just either in an area where it wasn't used, or too young to remember, before it faded from popularity.

It’s amazing something so short-lived had such an impact.
I also used a flight stick with Descent and Descent 2. I configured the hat switch for strafe up / down and strafe left / right.

Later, I also bought a [Logitech Cyberman 2](https://wiki.preterhuman.net/Logitech_CyberMan_2) 6-DoF controller for playing Descent, but it wasn't as satisfying as I had hoped. Part of the issue was moving / turning along multiple axes which limited the range of input from the controller to the game. So if you only pushed forward, you got 100%, but pushing forward and sideways, you only got ~70% of each (trigonometry). But with a keyboard or buttons, you could get 100% of each.

I also ended up mapping forward / back to buttons because it was less annoying to hold down a button constantly for movement.
Well, your impression was wrong then.
I was never confused about what is more popular. Re-reading what I wrote might make that clearer to you?

My interpretation of the phrase strictly retains the semantics, including that of the word 'order' to essentially mean 'the state', or perhaps more generously 'the status quo'. Like I said, it's not one of the more obtuse slogans, like ones artfully designed to sound reasonable when taken at face value but is actually semantically overloaded, take any dog whistles like weird anti-trans rhetoric about chromosomes which was never actually about chromosomes. I hear they're on to hand-wringing over gametes now; I wonder what they'll run to next. This thin blue line stuff doesn't have any of that overloading (or resultant churn); the semantics of the phrase itself are no deeper than it first appears.
Yeah thanks for pointing this out. It certainly didn't _feel_ like Windows 95 supported preemption when I was using it :)

To add to a sibling comment, the distinction is important, because observed mass of black holes falls largely into super massive (millions to billions solar masses) to stellar (dozens of solar masses). There is very, very, astonishingly few observed black holes with an intermediate mass. So, how super massive black holes form is a mystery, and finding large stellar mass black holes starts filling in (possibly) that evolutionary gap in black holes. Not a physicist, just read/watch a lot of pop astronomy/cosmology.

Yes, that is correct. In my job I started referring to this as 'relaying', to prevent confusion with forwarding (Fw:) from an email client.

A lightweight ORM library for Rust
The size is unexpected, but I believe this would have been an issue even if it really was 512-bit ECDSA rather than 521. Taking a random 512-bit number, which is what the PuTTY nonce function produced, and taking it modulo another 512-bit number, would also bias the output. Not as severely as having 9 bits that are always zero, but enough to be potentially exploitable anyways.

To avoid this issue, you either want your random value to be significantly larger than the modulus (which is what EDDSA does) or you want to generate random values of the right number of bits until one happens to be smaller than the modulus (which is what RFC 6979 does).

Descent's control system is for me what cemented the "invert Y axis" on the mouse for controlling first person gaming forevermore. My brain absolutely clicked with the 6DoF mindset, but it has meant that all FPS games from that point on had to conform to it, even if the game wasn't in any way flying-based.
Nice article. Wondering though why trading is not done in discrete batches, e.g. 5 second intervals? Trades in the same interval get filled equally or stochastically? Info about trades with that same 5 second batch delay? Is there some (theoretical) market efficiency thing at play? All this HFT feels wasteful and bad for 'regular' human investors.

Our regulatory agencies are worse for all of us when they're owned and operated by industry.

A peaceful change seems really, really tricky. Its so much easier to create regulations than remove them. Congress would have to ignore industry money and want to push through change, these agencies would have to be rebuilt from the ground up, and industry would have to deal with all the churn without cracking our economy since GDP and employment numbers seem to be the only things that really matter to our executive branch.
Barcelona bus route removed from map apps to tackle tourist overcrowding
Interesting read, thanks! Some points:

> Hogging instances might pay, if this stops competitors getting good hosts. This would eat into PnL and is also wasteful on energy.

Aren’t reserved instances cheaper than spot?

> Bad players could do a ping test to many thousands of EC2 instances, find those which are also at very low latency to their good boxes (assuming these are competitors), and DDoS them during trading hours to hammer the hypervisor’s NIC. This would result in critical overhead occurring for competitors sending orders out.

Leaving out the logistics of how someone could do this (why are your instances reachable from the internet?), wouldn’t you have a good case with your exchange to get them kicked out?

Generally speaking NPR rarely shows up on my radar. Punishing him for this article though sure has the opposite effect of what they hope to achieve. In fact, with this they just sent a message to all their journalists that they are not allowed to express viewpoints making their problem worse.

I am embarrassed because I looked up the quantum error correction paper and (guess what) I'm totally out of my depth on it!

So I could be being a complete plonker here, but what I can understand tells me that for quantum error correction there's an error rate which is the lowest bound on what can be corrected, but my reading of the Shor's Algorithm paper is that when there's noise the algorithm just doesn't work - so n>nc as n is 1?
Wisnots: I made a simple contextual and retrieval data storage system
Hey,

anyone had 35,000 links floating around with no idea how to keep them organized except folders? Yeah,I n that was me.

Every bookmarking service I tried required me to manually sort through them, which just added to the chaos.

So, I decided to take matters into my own hands.

Secret sauce? Contextual storage and retrieval. WISNOTS intelligently organizes your data based on its meaning and purpose, making it a breeze to find what you need, precisely when you need it.Just a simple solution to a frustrating problem.

No more endless scrolling or frantic searches. WISNOTS puts the power of efficient link management right at your fingertips. My first use case is tailored for users of bookmarking services like Raindrop.

And guess what? It works kinda ( - still working on it... ;) ) for folks like me who rely on bookmarking services.

Not being American, having far too much to do already, only being one person without a large enough network of like-minded relatively unbiased people who are willing to commit significant time to a project like this.

Something like this should be picked up by a university as a research project but current academia being what it is this is not possible in the USA because it will be impossible to abide by the 'unbiased' criterium. It might be possible for e.g. a Swedish, Dutch or German university to do this [1] but even if they did the results would be written off due to 'foreign actors' 'meddling' in 'American affairs'.

[1] not that academia in Europe is free from the type of 'hyper-progressive' bias seen in the USA, far from it. The rot has not sunk as deep here, that's all.

I bought a copy of Turbo Pascal 1.0 for DOS at the West Coast Computer Faire, where Borland had a little booth. Still is the most productive IDE I have ever used; that sucker was insanely fast. Of course, programming is a lot more complex today, but in 1984, that was magic.
If you're on MacOS an imgcat tool pairs well with an imgpbcopy tool like this:

https://github.com/williamcotton/dotfiles/blob/master/bin/im...

Then create a shell function like:

imgc() {
tee >(imgcat "$@") >(impbcopy -) > /dev/null
}

So you can:

cat image.png | imgc

Which will then show the image in the console, and if you switch over to another app you can simply paste in the image. And if you create a new file in Preview it will be the image in the paste buffer!

Thanks for the link. I think that 10^14 figure is the likelyhood of the disk error correction failing to produce a valid result from the underlying media, returning a read error and adding the block to pending bad sectors. A typical read error that is caught by the OS and prompts the user to replace drives.

What I understand by bit flip is a corruption that gets past that check (ie the "flips balance themselves" and produce a valid ECC) and returns bad data to the OS without producing any errors. Only a few filesystems that make their own checksums (like ZFS) would catch this failure mode.

It's one reason I still use ZFS despite the downsides, so I wonder if I'm being too cautious about something that essentially can't happen.
