Easy to get root anyway, just add an alias to sudo to .bashrc and whenever the user follows an online instruction guide into fixing something they'll get root privileges.

or overwrite LD_PRELOAD for the user

or replace the users desktop files and pretend to be another application (because you can overwrite /usr/share/applications launchers in .local/share/applications)

When I first went to Josemar bank as a kid there was a display talking about how exploits may theoretically exist. This would have been early 1990s.

I went a few years ago with my kids, about the same age I was, and they had a counter which was in the thousands.

I had a Fusion Drive on my iMac and it failed after 6 years. Instead of ripping that hard to repair beast open, I ended up switching to external storage. I first tried SD card since there was a handy slot in the back but those wear poorly too. They’re very fast on that model of iMac because of the bus connect. I ended up using a 1TB external ssd which was pretty small, cheap, and had no issues with wear. Reads and writes over USB were faster than the Fusion Drives. The main problem I had was waking up from sleep as there was as a race condition.
Why would the license matter in cases where your actions aren't restricted by patent law and you don't need to accept any license and any limitations in it?

If you have a valid patent for e.g "A Device or Appparatus that does FooBar", you get certain exclusive rights for just that - that device is the "patented invention" where making/using/selling one is an infringement of the patent, but the description of that device (for example, the patent text itself) is not. A book about doing FooBar isn't a device that does FooBar, and neither is a tutorial or a blog post - the description of the patent is public, the knowledge in it is public, and you're legally allowed to redistribute that knowledge.

However, using the "patented invention" is an infringement[1], with no exceptions, so if the reader of that book or blog post would like to follow it and actually implement the patented method or follow the patented process in the privacy of their home, that would technically be a violation even if they are unlikely to be sued as the patent holder won't find out about it.

[1] 35 U.S.C. 271 Infringement of patent. (a) Except as otherwise provided in this title, whoever without authority makes, uses, offers to sell, or sells any patented invention, within the United States, or imports into the United States any patented invention during the term of the patent therefor, infringes the patent.
"I'm in Europe so I don't have to care because software patents are not enforceable here" isn't the solution. Yes, patent law doesn't apply - but copyright law does, and they very much can take down content that references the spec just based on copyright law alone.
Seems like a very editorialized title. The podcast is called ‘Aquired’ and it’s recently become semi-popular.

The maximum bandwidth for LoRa is 27 kbps. That is shared with everyone in 5mi range. Home automation doesn't use much bandwidth but enough users will saturate the channel.

LoRa is perfect for sensor networks that it was designed for, and good for mesh messaging as long as it stays niche.

Social Security was established as a pay-as-you-go system. In 1987, the income side went into a significant and unprecedented surplus that accumulated by 2020 into a $2.8T Federal government accounting entry called the "Trust Fund"[1]. Al Gore's "lockbox". We've been anticipating the "bust" forever because it's still pay-as-you-go and the demographics and structure don't work past the 2030s and never have.

This "Trust Fund" is pretty silly, especially in today's cleptocratic political environment. It's not like the trustees can invest it according to their fiduciary duties. And, it's not fair an entire generation has been paying more than required to support current retirees, only to have the system revert to pay-as-you-go for their own retirements. For this, as many economic gems, we apparently can thank Alan Greenspan[2]?

Sounds like you’re looking for a company where you make meaningful contributions to the code and push yourself. In that case, look for positions at smaller companies. Figure out how much of a paycut you’re willing to endure, because you’ll probably end up working overtime with no additional pay anyway.

My biggest suggestion though would be to find a way to cope with what you have. You got annoying coworkers that try to be managers and go into too much detail at standups? Guess what bud, that’s never gonna go away. Part of your career growth is how you deal with things when your work situation is very mediocre or at worst, very toxic. That means having to make tough decisions and weathering storms gracefully. Take your time, and never let your ego or emotions influence your decision.
I think they imply that the officer had access to private photos stored on seized media. And some of the photos might be intimate and thus of interest of the said officer.
The article says a lot about CPUs reordering memory instructions - is this actually the main cause of the issues with the shown code?

Speaking of x86 specifically, instructions are aggressively reordered but as far as I understood it, the results are generally committed in order. The ISA has rules about what memory reorderings can occur, and looks like most reorderings are forbidden.
This stackoverflow explains it well: https://stackoverflow.com/a/50310563/7064452

In this queue example I'd say the elephant in the room is the compiler, not the CPU. The code has no language-level synchronisation, therefore the compiler is free to do whatever - it's not surprising memory ops get reordered. If you want to be pedantic, the code is UB with no synchronisation present. Perhaps besides the point to discuss CPU behaviour in this light.
I'm in the U.S., but I stopped paying attention to national news years ago when I realized how much of a waste of time it is to worry about things I can't change when I have a hard enough time living consistently with my own values day in and day out.

It wasn't 40 years ago, though, and I don't remember having seen any actual efforts to destroy SS from either party. I've seen both sides refuse to try certain things to save it, but I don't remember anything I'd have called an attempt to destroy it.
As I understood it, they weren't quite done. They were at, say, 90%, and confident they could do the last 10% after holidays and before release.

But the CTO insisted on Death March-style hours, so the author told the CTO they were at 80%, and then doled out the milestones from 80% to 90% over the week his team was away.

Had he said "Uhh, hey boss, we're already at 90%", the CTO would have said "Great, then work 26/8 over Christmas to get to 100%!".
No no, the decrease in sales couldn't possibly be related to the above-inflation increase in prices at fast food places. It must be those pesky consumers and their want to "spend frugally"!
My very casual understanding is that Mond really has been mostly discarded. The article says it's 'in trouble'.

We see some galaxies whose gravity is near the baryonic prediction and others where it is not.

- explaining this with dark matter is easy: some galaxies have a lot of dark matter and some have little.
- explaining this with Mond seems impossible. If there is some gravity law we don't understand, how can it have different effects on different galaxies?

- how do we explain the famous bullet cluster finding?
There are useful things that don't need a lot of interconnect speed. For example all of those XYZ@home projects (SETI, primes ...), or finding the hash for bitcoin blocks. Those just need aggregate speed and low energy use per computation.

This particular CPU might or might not have instructions needed to make those particular computations efficient, of course.
You've had periods where the Democrats control the Presidency, they control the House, and they control the Senate. If it is so easy to fix, why wasn't it fixed?

The answer is that it is not easy to fix, fixing it involves raising taxes, and people don't like taxes.

So the can gets kicked down the road.
Wat? CS is crawling with cheaters. Totally sucks. I can’t wait for the day when we have enough bandwidth that the entire game can be rendered on the server side and you just get a video feed. That would end most of this crap.
Looks very interesting. Does it mean that RegExp Derivatives can be used to parse languages which basic regular expressions cannot?

As an example basic HTML cannot (?) be parsed by RegExp because tag-pairs can contain tag-pairs:

<div> <div> </div> </div>

eludes RegExp matching, it seems to me, because a typical standard RegExp would only match "<div> <div> </div>" and would not see the 2nd </div>.

Can RegExp Derivatives do it better?
Depends on where people complain enough to convince the Swedish Environmental Protection Agency to deploy it.

There are many locations where this is used though (especially towards the north), some rainy summers people are unable to go about their daily lives due to the extreme nuisance.
Fun fact: for a year or so I shared an office with Colin Whitby-Strevens (co-author with MR of the BCPL book). Also have written BCPL although not a great deal. I think I had a 6809 compiler once upon a time.
I would dissagree on the chemistry. A working knowledge of chemistry is quiet valuable in the kitchen. Understanding of the maillard reaction, or of caramelization is useful for making better tasting food. I keep pH strips in my kitchen for use in making ferments, understanding chemistry will make it intuitive which foods to cook on cast iron or not to because the acids will eat the pans seasoning. Knowledge of polymerization lets know you can wash the cast frying pan despite the folk wisdom to the contray.

Just a quick note -- 1.0 goes a little further and rotates the WireGuard keys upon each auth session, so the private key never leaves the tunnel process memory. You need the Firezone client for that, though.
I really don't remember well, long long time ago in Window (XP?) either you can select multiple folders and zip each of them separately and/or you can select multiple zip files and extract them to separate folders within a single context menu
The key difference is that diversification of risk works for stocks. Yeah, if you invest in just one company it's like going to a casino. So if your portfolio only includes stocks from your employer, you might as well gamble all your money. But when you invest in lots of different stocks, you can make pretty stable profits, whereas you'll never make any stable long term income by diversifying your bets in a casino.
Which isn't going to do you a lot of good 20-30, even 100 feet off the ground.

Thanks for the great write-up! The Atanasoff-Berry machine gets overlooked in many histories. Part of the problem of obscurity comes from the fact that the PhD student (Berry, IIRC) finished his thesis, so, you know, reclaiming the lab space seemed more important than the machine's place in history, and it got dismantled.

Do you mean the Church is closed? I go to the Church often for worship and the Parishes are open very often, however its best to attend during Mass (Saturday evenings or Sundays) or other Holy days.

Also, most Churches plan many community events including volunteering opportunities and have other things like support groups. They will accept your request to join any of these, no question asked. You can check their websites for these details.

You are more than welcome to attend everything including Mass as an Atheist, if you feel like you need a place for solemnity, you can just sit in the back and observe or follow along!

P.S I'm a Roman Catholic but pretty much all Protestant Churches operate more or less the same.
I'm working on a small web app right now inside a VM and it's consuming around 2.5 GB of ram (and I believe Firefox is taking 2 GB). It's i3wm, tmux, vim, zeal, and php. So theorically, I could work on a 4 GB computer easily. But we have people here hollering that 8GB is too low for a modern machine.

Buying a beefy computer for a developer is cheap, but forcing everyone using your software to default to a 16GB computer isn't. And that's why we get when consumer software takes more ram to run than Windows XP.
I’d like to answer that question, and I think you’re not gonna like the answer.

I believe the response would be similar but not identical. There would be mass protests, just like there were in 2021, 2018, 2014, etc. I also participated in these protests. These protests would be smaller but still loud. Student movements would also call out their universities and demand boycott, just like in 2021, 2018, etc. But we probably wouldn’t see as many students participating, nor would it spread to as many school.

We would still see an ICJ case, however it wouldn’t be South Africa charging Israel of genocide. It would be the General Assembly charging Israel of apartheid. This case is also ongoing in our universe, and and was agreed to before Oct 7. Delegations would use that case to voice discontent with that universe’s version of the Gaza atrocities, no matter how scaled back it would be. But I think they would stop short of calling it a genocide (assuming Israel wouldn’t be committing one in that Universe). The security council would vote on a ceasefire and the US would veto it, just like in 2021, 2018, etc. The general assembly would also vote on and agree to to a ceasefire.

The BBC and Al Jazeera would quote statistics straight from the Hamas run Gaza health ministry, the BBC would say Hamas run, but Al Jazeera wouldn’t, just like in our universe. People would criticize BBC for that from both the left and the right (just like in our universe).

The truth about this universe is that Israel has been braking international humanitarian laws for a very long time, and the world is tired of it. In this alternative universe, the world would be equally tired of it, and would condemn Israel for it. Settler policies, apartheid, constant bombing campaigns in Gaza, constant raids on the West Bank, etc. all of that would be the reason the world would condemn Israel in your alternative universe. Israel’s settler colonial and apartheid policies would be a problem. And the accusations there of would be just.
Is it inaccurate though? I would expect that most people on earth have been exposed to potentially toxic chemicals, especially including PFAS. You'd have to avoid essentially anything made of plastic or that has touched plastic in its life cycle. Teflon is incredibly ubiquitous.

Nitpicks:

1. Command to unquarantine in docs is wrong. It should be `xattr -d com.apple.quarantine /Applications/peazip.app` not `xattr -dr com.apple.quarantine /Applications/peazip.app`

I feel like this is the obvious play considering they've been building AI features into their chips for _years_ and under utilizing the hardware. If Apple could combine ChatGPT + Siri they'd have the best voice assistant.
I really enjoy the culture novels and I agree. I feel similar about Dune. No one Dune book is all that great on its own. But the scale and world and story arch are unique enough to make the sum greater than the total of its parts.

Maybe I've got this all wrong, but back when I was an active player, mostly in the CS:S days, you didn't need onboarding. You could just play a game and not think about strategizing. Really good players would do this, but for most, it was some skill shooter that was still mostly run and gun.
The article does mention in the end that a trivial translation of the queue code to x86 will work.

It is broken on other architectures though (aside of the obvious UB because of races).
> devs couldn't be bothered

I think you just don't get it, and maybe this genre wouldn't be for you, which is fine. It's not about the devs bothering to write lines, it's about the devs enabling you to create your own world. I don't want some shitty NPCs slapped in there by a dev trying to hit a deadline. I want to experience my own story, freed from the shackles of the on-rails experience that game devs must currently provide.

> Have you actually tried asking ChatGPT to tell you a story?

What you're not getting is that the storytelling will be cooperative. You'll still be able to consume content to your heart's content. Some of that content will soon be people creating compelling stories in cooperation with LLMs. LLMs will also be great at storytelling too, but the best stories are ones that you can help write yourself.
That doesn't surprise me at all. I can tell hot water from cold by how it looks when you pour it, (steam aside).
There's always doubt about software. Even if it's your software, the compiler or the distribution site can be compromised. It's not a technical problem - it's like saying "you shouldn't interact with people if there's any doubt about them".

The solution is choosing an acceptable level of trust and putting safeguards like sandboxing where possible. (And ideally monitoring on the possible violations)

I've never heard that linear algebra was "hard to understand" - relative to calculus or other math classes.

If there's a recent trend of linear-algebra content going viral, that could be because it is (often promoted as) a prerequisite for studying machine learning, which is very hot these days.

I think this is the common take on culture novels. Most recommendations I see for reading order start with something other than Consider Phlebas. Player of Games and Use of Weapons tends to be more recommended as a first book. I adored Player of Games because the whole concept is so different than most sci-fi I've encountered. And it really examines what it means to be a citizen of The Culture.
