What microsoft has done to make the transition as smooth as possible?

What are game developers told to do to make their games compatible?

Why doesn't visual studio offer the choice to build universal binaries?

It's no wonder Microsoft didn't make its own chip, they are slackers, they do not deserve their position as leader
But this is exactly why it's standard procedure. I worked for a huge Credit Reference Agency and it was very obvious that this is ass covering.

Sarah and Bob in the New York Office of Huge Corp must take the training so that the CEO can swear all his employees know not to bribe people. In the event that Manuel, who is given $100 000 per week of company money to bribe the locals in Melonistan so that they don't interfere with Huge Corp's operations is actually brought before the government and forced to spill the beans the CEO will insist they had no idea and some Huge Corp minion gets sacrificed. Manuel will be replaced, Melonistan will be assured quietly that his replacement will provide make up money ASAP.

In Arms this is even worse, because there it's secretly government policy to bribe people, even though it's also illegal. So then sometimes even if you can prove there was a crime, the government will say "We'll take that evidence thank you very much" and poof, the crime disappears, if you make too much fuss you'll be made to disappear too.

When I used to program Java I absolutely loved hot code swap and was always amazed how little people even knew it was possible.

If you have a massive codebase no matter how fast your compiler is, re-compiling is going to be slow. But hot code swap is even better in that you can keep any state around without having to set it up all over again.

In Java I could change a method implementation with the program running and as long as I didn't touch my class state it would just work. Re-compilation was slow, but hot code swap was _fast_ and I maybe did a recompile 3-5 times per day total.
You don't have to keep it going 24/7. If you connect every once in a while, you will assist clients that come and go for parts they need. You don't even need to have the complete torrent either -- the tracker will know you have those parts and direct clients to you.
I have been using Acorn since...wow, 2009!

After the first $49 purchase, I spent another $15 and then $19 on upgrades over the years.

It's very effective. The interface is extremely familiar if you're used to Photoshop, and it's wonderfully Mac-native.

I highly recommend it!
When I think 'welding' I'm thinking of high-tech welding systems, aluminum TIG welding, or the laser-welding assembly-line shop I worked in before going to college. The people running such shops are skilled professionals, certainly, even if they didn't hold graduate degrees in materials science or applied physics.

Maybe your view of welding is that it's comparable to digging ditches? And one doesn't have to go into hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt to attend some exclusive college to be smart, motivated and curious.

I use the term freelancer too freely maybe, I'm mostly a full time consultant and I often have very long clients (years).

Still, I tend to choose high pressure small environments (I honestly get bored in low productive corporate environments).
Interesting.

IIRC, libgen used IPFS for preservation efforts.

Anna's Archive (seemingly the successor) appears to have migrated to BitTorrent.

I wonder what motivated the move?

Edit: asking as someone who works daily on building p2p software. We've abandoned mainline BitSwap (IPFS) in our work for similar reasons as the rest of the rust-libp2p community, but haven't found a particularly good "successor" protocol for a generalized use case yet. We are currently using our own ad-hoc hand-rolled chunking/transfer protocol as needed.
React and Pytorch

compare that to Angular and TensorFlow, such a difference in culture
So...Golden SAML isn't a vulnerability, as the CyberArk article quoted in the post reiterates, it's a type of attack that requires completely comprising the box before using. Unless I am misunderstanding something, I don't see any particular flaw, per se. As Microsoft (mocked in the article) would say, it's not crossing a security boundary. SSO will ALWAYS have this particular tradeoff. If your SSO infrastructure is compromised, everything that uses it is at risk of being compromised.
It's already on BitTorrent. IPFS doesn't do much BitTorrent doesn't already, most of it is a new coat of paint and making the same mistakes BitTorrent figured out years ago.
Everybody wants cake, but nobody wants to crack an eggshell
That is either patently untrue or there are a whole lot of loopholes. I used to live in Phoenix more than 20 years ago and had a lawn that matched anything you'd find in Chicago. I still have about a dozen friends living in the Phoenix metro and all of them have at least a patch of lawn, not to mention the grass areas maintained by the HOA.
I don’t think they sell VPSes though
There’s a great book about the development of Cell and Xenon (which went into the Xbox 360) called “The Race for a New Game Machine” that was co-written by a couple folks who worked on them at IBM.
We made a simple way to lock QBittorrent into a VPN in a container [1]. It's probably simple enough to follow what we did in the config script to set it up for your use case (all open source [2]).

By OS, I meant Operating Systems, not Open Source :)

Their apps are such foreigners in their ecosystem that they make Electron apps look good by comparison. Also, Creative Cloud spreads itself over every folder it can touch, keeps nagging me to use cloud-whatever, fights me for auto launching and updating, etc.

That's what I meant as a bad platform citizen.
Before getting into computationally intensive effects, the one thing I thought was really cool was reaction-diffusion where 'textures' would be coherent through a volume. A cut-away of a marble block or cellular-like structures would be great to see in one of these scenes. We see single surfaces but seeing that they're not only on-the-surface gives it more substance.
I used to be there, until I discovered Mullvad, which is so fast and reliable that there’s no downside to using it permanently. The only time I ever notice is when, very rarely, a particular node is flagged by some website (most often Reddit) as problematic and I have to switch to a different one.
He's not saying that copyright literally burned down the library of Alexandria.
Uhm… The boom in AI with LLMs wouldn’t have happened without about a decade of major focus on images (both generative models and DNN models that blew traditional image processing out of the water), and planning/optimization type problems (alpha go, chess, etc.). Seems incorrect to claim that chat starts every cycle.
They help to eliminate lots of vulnerable code from the TCB. If that’s what attackers are hitting, then it will definitely help. If hitting the other stuff, it won’t help. How valuable it is depends on how often each is targeted.

Kernel up used to be the most, targeted layers. I’ve been out of the field a few years. I don’t know how many black hats use 0-days on basebands in practice.
Those guys are top tier you have to admit— tank their company, get acquired, keep their jobs, eventually wrangle their way into managing their acquirer, tank the acquiring company… this is god tier MBAing.
> I have this mentality problem where I don't like using my VPN except when I specifically need too.

This is extremely suboptimal. "I only hide my activity when it's worth hiding" paints a giant target on your back. VPNs as a matter of course protect you from all manner of anti-consumer tactics, and if you don't obfuscate all of your traffic, it tips off surveilling parties to only focus on the subset of traffic that routes through a VPN.
Don't forget React. The most popular frontend stack at the moment. Been that way for some time.

And GraphQL, Relay, Stylex...
This kind of thing permeates through our society. We can all see it, we all know it's absurd, but we can't change it. That requires the people with the money and power on board. I don't need to tell you how they got that money and power. It's not only the buildings that have owners
The comment doesn't mention anything about the "previously kids" growing up with nintendo.
nohub doesn't attach nor redirect the stdin/out/err, it intercepts the HUP signal that apps receive when their controlling TTYs are disconnected.

Implying "tail -f $LOGFILE" is akin to tmux reattaching to a console is a stretch.
> Maybe Russia was counting on getting a 15-minute warning of ICBMs approaching, but if a hostile military can station missile right on their southwestern border

Give me a break. You can throw a rock from Estonia and hit Saint Petersburg, look at a map of the area sometime. Estonia has been in NATO for over 15 years or something like that. Somehow Russia's been ok with that situation so far as to not start a shooting war over it.

This war with Ukraine is purely a war of aggression based on a Russian chauvinistic narrative of history. Putin explicitly says so in his writings, e.g. "On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians".

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear. I'm not storing this data locally. I want to seed it from the Internet without a connection to me except for SSH. Essentially, how can I get a seedbox with crypto.

Though it does strike me now that any such service will be primarily used by criminals.
Pantographs are used in woodworking too! Put a router in place of a pen and have the stylus trace a jig and you're cutting accurate, repeatable tenons! Here's an example https://woodgears.ca/pantorouter/setup.html

They're also used horizontally to trace letters/drawings into wood as in the traditional use of the pantograph https://woodgears.ca/pantograph/index.html
That was in large part because the CPUs they run on lacked hardware memory protection and any process could crash and take everything else down with it. No hardware support and no support for those features in the OS. That changed quickly as the CPUs improved. All the UNIXes of the time run on CPUs with memory protection and never crashed.
Lyon's Musée de l'Imprimerie et de la Communication graphique is also 15th century and very oddly angled. https://www.imprimerie.lyon.fr/en/edito/presentation_musee https://thisislyon.fr/things-to-do/museums/museum-of-printin... Also in Lyon, the church of Saint Paul was built in 549 and rebuilt in the 11th and 12th centuries.
I suspect in part it's the required capacity. This Project is far beyond what even the largest private trackers could host but if anyone comes even close to be able to keep this alive when the copyright mafia comes it's the torrent community.
The correct response to false allegations followed by insults and threats is anything but to admit it. The software in question is a popular free and open source software that has more than a decade of trust. The AI feature fundamentally requires the user to actively engage with in order to use it [1], with no nagging or coercion whatsoever. In fact, the only people reminding us of its existence are the Mastodon mobs, not iTerm.

The feature wasn't added out of pure hype either. It was likely inspired by user feedback [2], and the dev ultimately added it because it was useful for him personally [3].

Despite all of this, people are raging about unprovable nefarious motives and making claims about spyware, as if it's Windows we're talking about. They pretend as if it's maintained by some faceless for-profit entity trying to screw us over instead of a sole developer trying to create good software in his spare time. Some are even openly fantasizing about inflicting physical violence [4].

This kind of behavior should be condemned, not praised.

They did that in FTA:

> In the months and years following the SolarWinds attack, Microsoft took a number of actions to mitigate the SAML risk. One of them was a way to efficiently detect fallout from such a hack. The advancement, however, was available only as part of a paid add-on product known as Sentinel.

So you sell me a submarine with screen doors, avoid fixing it for years, cripple internal processes that would fix it, and then you want to charge me for a water alarm? That's chutzpah.
I think there is too much confusion in the details of the actual attack.

You have to steal the private key for the SAML signing certificate for an app. The correct answer would be to scope any token to only have access to what the app has access to, the second layer which is documented in their 2020 article, is to require mfa on admin actions, and the 3rd layer is to disconnect azure admin accounts from on-prem admin accounts preventing this type of attack.

But disabling SSO altogether is non-starter for most businesses, what are we going to do tomorrow? Spend months recreating 100,000x accounts in various applications, no.

We decrypt ssl traffic in our company, someone steals the private key and now can read the entire stream including your bank account details, lets stop decrypting ssl traffic because someone might leak the key? The answer from the infosec communinity has been its worth the risk.
It actually comes down to the SiriusXM receiver that is being used - I've witnessed the built-in sirius/xm on on the latest GM platform (a $100,000+ Cadillac) sounding like AM radio to immediately sitting in a better-than-apple-streaming quality rendition of the exact same channel on an older lexus a few minutes apart...

The mobile xm receivers (like ipods) that they used to sell also had very good quality and I never noticed any quality shortcomings even with good headphones.

I think the "high" quality stream is 256kbps/16k which is fairly high compared to most streaming services that come in around 128/160.
How about favorable places given an anonymous virtual credit card that you bought on a spamming-services forum? (As in, if you don't have to worry about being identified, and it's just a question of wanting the seedbox itself to be unlikely to get taken down)
Figma for all UX design.

Affinity Photo for bitmap editing (which is vanishingly rare these days).

Affinity Designer for a few vector operations and tools not supported by Figma.

Affinity Publisher for print design (aka when I need to update my resume...).

Instead of Adobe Stock, I use Pexels, or just generate a sufficiently generic image on ChatGPT.

Instead of Adobe Fonts, I just stopped being a web developer, ha ha. Google Fonts, of course, is one alternative.

I got rid of all Adobe products in 2019. Or so I thought. Last year, my laptop fan started going crazy, and the whole machine was heating up. When I looked at my processes, I saw that some little remnant of Creative Cloud had refused to be uninstalled through the regular process, had survived on my computer for years, and just at that moment decided to attack. Maybe it was trying to remind me why I hate Adobe.
> Depending on the wording of Qualcomm's architectural ARM license, it seems like that might cover Nuvia's IP?

Right, but ARM says "Nuvia’s licensing fees and royalty rates reflected the anticipated scope and nature of Nuvia’s use of the Arm architecture. The licenses safeguarded Arm’s rights and expectations by prohibiting assignment without Arm’s consent, regardless of whether a contemplated assignee had its own Arm licenses"

Basically ARM says Qualcomm should pay more than they did before because no, their blanket doesn't cover Nuvia.

> so this will eventually collapse into a new licensing agreement that covers all claims

Obviously. That's the crux of the matter. Qualcomm says they shouldn't pay more, ARM says they should.
I don't recall an outcry about standing when Dobbs was decided (and as a lawyer, I am attuned to such things). Looking at the wikipedia page for Dobbs, [1] there's hardly a mention of it. Perhaps you're thinking of the student loan forgiveness cases, which raised this question?

> But there will be fine-tuned on Civit AI.

Due to the noncommercial licensing, there will not be nearly as much finetuning as with SDXL.
I observed they chose profit over usability and user needs as well (the list is toooo long, I save all of us from pouring all here, let's say I am contemplating getting a completely different job where I do not have to run circles around the way Windows is corrupted), so this fits into the big picture afterall.
I'm kind of surprised that we haven't started integrating the spores of Pestalotiopsis Microspora into plastic products to break them down faster later. They could seal spores between two layers of a bioplastic, then have the non-bioplastic as an innermost layer to protect the bioplastic from liquids, and the outermost layer be a mix of plastics and bio-plastic. This way it will still degrade, but slowly, until degradation reaches the spore sandwich layers, which will then quickly degrade and inoculate the spores to begin growing and consume the rest of the outermost layer and begin degrading the innermost layer. This (in theory) should eliminate nearly all, if not actually all, of the plastics involved.
Permanently seed is more about the data being reliably available at some point in the future more than continuously seeding.

As for the VPN side you should be able to configure your VPN to always tunnel your torrent app but not always tunnel your entire computer. The best/easiest way to do this varies by the specific VPN application and your OS.
today that means "too big to fail". in wall st it's called "jackpot"

I wonder why US voters don’t call for banning outsourcing. Their jobs are shipped overseas, for the benefit of investors and managers.

Photopea is fantastic. I've paid Adobe thousands over the years because my spouse uses Photoshop and can't stop (I use Sketch when I need something).

I had enough with Adobe mostly due to cost. It's robbery to pay those prices for a tool she uses 3 times a year. I tried installing Krita for her and she struggled with everything. Couldn't find anything and just complained all the time. It occurred to me to try something else and Photopea is absolutely amazing. Wish I knew about it sooner.

Possibly, I don't think so. It happened right at the top of the bank and stopped as the plane began to ease out.

There were no weather issues no other incidents of turbulence or jostling around. It seemed as if the plane was having problems banking at that angle.
"I don't want to receive DMCA notices passed through my ISP because it might disrupt my service" type use cases don't imply you also care about general privacy concerns or other use cases of VPNs too.
> Something is harder to read if it takes more effort to read it.

I think the smiley was a sufficient warning not to go there. Define harder. For whom ? etc.

> hold that information on a stack in your head.

I have proactively addressed that point, it is a matter of coding style and "good practices". But since you can only believe me on that, the discussion can only go in circles if you don't agree.

> It's just transparently obvious that reading Forth code takes more effort than reading lisp code for anyone who has spent equal time doing both.

It depends by whom this code was written. I can certainly craft Lisp code which is a nightmare to read. I've seen many times Forth code that was not designed and written in the best style. "Readability" is a relationship between the reader and the writer, it's something that becomes clear when you do code reviews. I think people would generally agree that C++ is "more readable" than both Forth and Lisp, yet if you use lesser-known C++ features - or just omit parens around expressions because you assume that the priorities are obvious - you can easily lose intermediate level reviewers.

Anyway, after reading many online threads about "readability", I came to the conclusion that it is a non-argument, and that discussions about it are most often pointless. But I wanted to use that to show how Forth solves this apparently huge problem, and introduce a bit of its philosophy.
Lockstep determinism has a lot of issues.

First, building a PERFECTLY deterministic sim is brutally difficult. Even for a single piece of hardware. It’s so so hard and expensive. A single bug “crashes” the game with a “desync” error. Making it work cross-platform was never really an issue.

Second, you’re bound by the slowest client. No one can go faster than the weakest link.

Third, you can’t stop cheating. Every client has full and complete world state. This is fine for co-op but a major issue for competitive.

Really the ONLY benefit to lockstep sync is it minimizes bandwidth. In the days or 56k this was a strict necessity. But these days client-server is almost always a better choice.

Several big IEEE conferences have regional "affirmative action" for papers, and you used to be able to tell which APAC papers took advantage of this. The research quality has been rising fast in China (and IMO dropping in the west).

They labs in China often do write a lot of papers, though, and they always cite their own work and the work of sister labs. People around the world do this, but it's much tighter in China than other parts of the world. They may have found that Chinese research papers (on engineering topics) are much higher "impact" for that reason.
One major benefit of IPFS is that people seeding individual works and people seeding the large archive groups can share data. It seems that these torrents are blocks of data that aren't of direct use.

That being said while the IPFS protocol is decent the implementations kind of suck. Bittorrent is well established with many high quality implementations.
