Heavy quotes when a hacker says that i'm sure. Proper opsec in that line of work requires alot of "Vacationing". Also, your comment still completly ignores the main point; Regardless of the local, the merits of extradition here are wild. How can you charge someone for copyright law when the infridgment was never conducted in the united states?
Change the law so that design flaws arising from a culture/system that deprioritizes safety are considered criminally negligent for upper management (at least for safety critical domains like aircraft or cars).

Then you just have to prove that they intentionally deprioritized safety/engineering in their systems and culture.
Yes, mostly. That is, if a Photoshop plugin is well-behaved and doesn't make use of undocumented aspects, it's pretty much going to work.

Also, when it is clear someone is abusing the email you provided, you can nuke it. Perhaps some functionality to be had here between aliases and haveibeenpwned detecting an alias in a breach, queuing for alias cycling or invalidation with a human approval step.

Everyone bears some responsibility if you've ever interacted with any entity that profits off of TM or helps TM make profit. I don't find it's particularly useful to spend any thought on what people with minuscule responsibility should do differently. It's just bike-shedding when there are important problems to solve.

People use password managers so they can conveniently have a single password without a single breach compromising all of their accounts.

I don't want to take any credit away from Fabrice Bellard and his work on QuickJS. All of the serverless QuickJS derivatives like Shopify's Javy and AWS's LLRT owe a debt of gratitude to Bellard. They're all very thin wrappers over QuickJS (which is by design obviously in order to reduce cold start times). Use whichever verb you prefer in place of 'created'.
Some airlines like Spirit now have direct integration into Google Flights so you never need to log in.

Even when being directed to Delta or Alaska to purchase flights, I usually have the option of an expedited sign in or account creation through Oauth, which is largely what the author was trying to point out.

> What was different this time is that, for the first time in a while, I was traveling as a tourist with my family, and thus visiting things like museums, making restaurant reservations, etc.; what stood out to me was just how much information all of these entities wanted: seemingly every entity required me to make an account, share my mailing address, often my passport information, etc., just to buy a ticket or secure a table. It felt bizarrely old-fashioned, as if services like OpenTable or Resy didn’t exist, or even niceties like “Sign In With Google”; what exactly is a museum or individual restaurant going to do with so much of my personal information — I just want to see a famous painting or grab a meal!
The weirdest thing was that in the resulting conservative backlash many of them switched to Apple Maps which resulted in a bunch of people all getting stuck in the same cul-de-sac and having a road-rage induced shootout. It killed this poor teenager.

I don't think the author was trying to position herself as "special". It's a pretty universal experience to try something unkonwn and feeling like a failure. I think the author is trying to convey that it's ok to feel that way.

What for? Are you trying to make the rankings of this somewhat serious? Are you aware that even with this patched, it remains trivial to build an user script that automatically replaces the flag with the country name? Probably within half an hour you could have a script that also plays the game for you!
This feels a lot like how NFT owners wanted people not to be able to right-click and save their "property". This is how the internet works, you can run stuff on your machine that does absolutely anything with the data that is sent to it.
Sure, you could choose to fight back. You could move from emojis to images of flags with random filters and distortions applied, or implement some click tracker that checks if the mouse/finger movement is natural, or even something more complex and effective. But the question is: should you? Should you really destroy the beautiful simplicity of this game in order to make the leader boards more accurate? And does anyone really care about the leader boards?
Ah, this is nice. It brings the Apple Hide My Email functionality (though not compatibility) to all platforms, which is something I do desire since using Hide My Email makes non-Apple platforms unusable for logins.

> What about a pan sensor created by taking an RGB sensor and removing the filter so it's producing an image with 3x the resolution but in pan?

This got me thinking about how subtle and slippery the concept of "resolution" is.

The relationship is not strictly 3x; an ideally demosaiced Bayer filtered image still contains some information at the original capture resolution, because R, G, and B are correlated in nontrivial ways. Nyquist is a nice and simple result for the special case where nothing can be predicted about the original function, measurements are assumed to be perfect, and the criterion for reconstruction is "exact" - but in the general case of "recovering information, more is better" even a simple interpolation procedure with tame priors like "luminance exists" might perform so much better than the naive approach that we'd be silly not to use it.

Even the Nyquist frequency itself is less fundamental than it first appears; a less well known result is that a function can also be perfectly recovered if sampled at half the Nyquist frequency, if the slope is captured as well as the value. In other words you can losslessly convert a 2MP image into a 1M value+slope data matrix and back. What resolution is it? Depends on your point of view.
Simplest answer is a private wifi network for the scanners.
What I'm saying is that there was no law of the US that was even violated within the jurisdiction of the US. This is different from incidents of hacking where US assets get attacked. As such, the I.P. charges seem entirely baseless to me.

The extradition treaty applies only if a crime is actually committed in a jurisdiction where it is a crime. I do not see this here.
> The most prolific writers are journalists

You state this as fact without providing a dataset to back it. I think
this is not true at all.

> most of the most successful people on the planet write little or nothing

It depends on how you define "success".

I would consider people like Linus and Dwayne Richard Hipp and TBL to
be among the most successful people on the planet, and they write
quite a lot.

Do you call people who capture then give away a billion dollars the
most successful? I don't. To me the most successful are the ones who
create billions in wealth and capture just a tiny fraction--enough to
support their family and friends and live a good life.

> when we already have a tried and true method for syncing multicamera shots?

please inform me of these tried and true methods that allow you to take a mobile device that is not a dedicated camera and make it part of a multicam shoot. this is one of those things that shows how against status quo you might be. this kind of thing opens up multicam shoot to sooooo many more people than even BlackMagic's ATEM equipment did. People wanting to do traditional mutlticam shoots and all of the procedural nightmare that comes with that are free to continue doing it. Using something like this allows for so much more flexibility it strains credulity that you're unable to see it.
This has heightened my concerns, not allayed them. They have said perpetual licenses will always be an option but 1) I don’t trust corporate promises and 2) they could easily just price that out of reach to push people onto a subscription model. A six-month trial is a not a “try us” timeline, it is “make us indispensable” timeline. That’s a big up front loss of revenue for them which I only see them making back if they go for a higher-pressure pricing model.

Apparently the defense filed a reply to the response on September 11th 2023, but I can't find it without having to pay for it.

There doesn't seem to be any additional information, it doesn't seem like there's been a hearing on the motion.
You can listen on an anonymous port. It's similar to how the kernel allocates a port for outgoing connections. It's very useful if you want to listen ephemerally, especially in tests. The downside is that you need your server to report which port it's actually listening on, and if it restarts, it will get a different port.
Not a heavy graphic design user so would never consider an Adobe subscription, switched to Affinity for its low cost perpetual pricing which has been a great substitute for my needs, though still use Paint .NET for small edits.

Most of the functionality is there but it does a few things differently to Photoshop, fortunately there's a lot of resources in their docs, forums and YouTube videos to learn how it's done in Affinity.

What's the context for #2?
Real film does have (effectively—the aperture’s closed half the time so you don’t see a smear of moving film) a blacked out every-other-frame which makes the perceived motion smoother (some digital projectors can replicate this, though it halves the effective brightness so you need a really bright one for it to work ok) but yeah, I’d take a little judder over faked digital smoothing. It looks awful.

[edit] I just mean that an actual film projector does achieve smoother motion than most TVs displaying 24 fps the best they can “naturally”, but a TV’s natural best is still far better than the alternative of alien-looking digital motion smoothing.
I nearly did systemd-boot last install but grub2 behaves better if the motherboard is upgraded/otherwise factory reset so I shied away.

> But there is no "reasoning" occurring here - just syntactic templating and statistical auto-complete.

This is the "stochastic parrot" hypothesis, which people feel obligated to bring up every single time there's a LLM paper on HN.

This hypothesis isn't just philosophical, it can lead to falsifiable predictions, and experiments have thoroughly falsified them: LLMs do have a world model. See OthelloGPT for the most famous paper on the subject; see Transformers Represent Belief State Geometry in their Residual Stream for a more recent one.
Working at a faang level company is associated with a large enough increase in income that it could support a handful of families in developing countries. I don't know what purpose it serves to downplay just how substantial that amount of money is.
Do they have enough money to clean it? Here in Buenos Aires we have a small river that is heavily contamined by old leather procesing, but removing all the mud with chrome from the bottom is toooooo expensive. We are just trying to stop adding contamination and improve the water flow to keep the oxygen level at a minimum that support some fishes.
I agree that using the default OS on a smart TV is riddling oneself with ads and tracking.

But it is not common wisdom, and saying everyone deserves it is unproductive and lacks empathy.

I deserved it when I started getting ads on Twitch after re-enabling updates for it for no particular reason, because I know better. My dad who wants to use Criterion on his smart TV but can't figure out how to use a smartphone camera? Different story.
Great! So then why am I not allowed to run whatever i want on my $999 phone?
I have always thought that covet means strongly desire ( which the link also mentions ). Nothing about sexual fantasy.
I wish that had been my motto earlier. I bought a resin 3d printer off craigslist in perfect working condition, tried to update the firmware (for no good reason), and ended up promptly bricking the thing. I got it fixed in the end, but it was a huge unnecessary waste of time and energy.

More recently, I updated my Vision Pro to the OS beta, which broke my ability to open files off my NAS. That, too, is fixed now…but again, I should’ve just left well enough alone.

So when I use Windows Terminal and I press Ctrl-C, it always does the right thing: If I’m selecting text I want to copy it, if I’m not selecting text I want to kill the running process.

On Linux, every Terminal app I’ve used stubbornly refuses to copy when I press Ctrl-C, demanding I press Ctrl-Shift-C. When I paste, if I forget my manners and use Ctrl-V instead of Ctrl-Shift-V, I am punished by getting a weird character when I start typing again. And I am constantly pressing Ctrl-V because of muscle memory since no other app works this way.

Is there any terminal app for Linux that does things the Windows Terminal way and won’t slap me on the wrist for Improper Teletype Usage?

This column, which appears as the last page in the print magazine, is generally pretty good and often fun to read (https://www.science.org/topic/careers-overline/working-life). IIRC the stories never end on a down note (perhaps not true to life).

But, taken as a whole, they offer some ways out of the single-track-grindset that some people in the academic system have -- and that the system promotes.

It turns out that there are a lot of stories out there of people who had to give up on something, change fields, recognize their strengths or weaknesses, etc. People don't talk about this stuff as much as they should.
Good to make a conceptual distinction though.
I've been working on this for almost six years now. The initial idea was to solve the "get stuff into a SQLite database" problem as effectively as possible, because my https://datasette.io/ project was only useful if you first get your data into SQLite.

It's since grown to handle all manner of manipulations. Possibly the most useful is its support for advanced schema alterations via the "transform" CLI command (and accompanying table.transform() Python method):

https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/cli.html#transfo...

https://sqlite-utils.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html#...

A complex example from the docs:

sqlite-utils transform fixtures.db roadside_attractions \
--rename pk id \
--default name Untitled \
--column-order id \
--column-order longitude \
--column-order latitude \
--drop address

This addresses one of the most frequent complaints people have about SQLite - that it doesn't support a range of table alter operations beyond simple things like adding a new column.

sqlite-utils transform is an implementation of the pattern described in the SQLite docs - https://www.sqlite.org/lang_altertable.html#otheralter - where you create a new empty table with the modified schema, then copy the old data across and rename the tables as part of a single transaction.
What to do when a colleague seems to have a communication problem
That happens a lot in Linux world since people design software in extremely limited way in the name of simplicity and "Unix philosophy" which limits their composability.

So only interfaces became limited to what's available at that moment and the limited set of Unix software abstractions. Those abstractions are also made extremely use case specific even though there are opportunities to unifiy them like Android did with Binder, Windows did COM and dotnet.

Of course technical difficulties of designing efficient and long-term surviving interfaces also play a role. There are too many hobbyists in the Linux desktop world and too few professionals who also have to work with hobbyists. Many contributions to Linux desktop happen when people are studying and then they leave. This creates disincentives to design long-term systems because they take too long and they are a slog to design and keep up-to-date.

I don't think it has much to do with that. Before the collapse of the Soviet Union, bootleg tapes copied from friend to friend was the only way my parents had to share banned music. After the collapse, we were priced out of Western content by a weak economy so that black market morphed into a state-tolerated industry selling pirated tapes and eventually CDs and DVDs. Any time I'd go back to visit in the last few decades, I'd buy movies, entire discographies, and video games for a few dollars a piece from market stalls and specialized stores that sold nothing but pirated content.

Ignoring foreign copyright was a survival mechanism and by this point, it's almost culturally ingrained.
I used to worry about cellular modems, but now I think it will be just plain old wifi they use. There's Comcast Xfinity, Amazon Sidewalk, and probably other companies that turn their device into a communal wifi hotspot.

>> Unions are intended to protect workers.

> But they actually don't.

Unions protect workers as an abstract group, but consequently not all individual workers.

Lobbying for a minimum wage will induce structural unemployment: the union would rather keep some people unemployed, to maximise the combined income of the group.

In an international labour market, unions are just protectionist for some local population.

I’m sure some international socialists will disagree.
It's been like this for years. However, with one of my own domains and a catch all rule in the e-mail server. Why? From time to time, some services require that you send emails with exactly this e-mail address as the sender. And that doesn't just work with most services. Because in such a case, you have to turn exactly this e-mail address into a real account with a mailbox.

Blood boil? No.

Royalty commanded resources which Euler wanted to access, even if indirectly. In the modern world, geniuses have to do the same to e.g. gain funding. Maybe there is slightly more meritocracy now in determining who gains that level of power, but the improvement is not nearly as dramatic as you'd like to think. Nepotism is alive and well.
When I first joined Microsoft as an SDET back in 2006, the culture was such (at least in my org) that any SDET could halt shipping.

A bit less than a year out of college I found a pretty significant bug in the compiler (I forget the bug! I do remember the one major bug I let slip out into a release though) well after everything had been signed off on. I brought it up in the team meeting and the principle dev asked me directly "Do you think we should cancel the release to fix this bug?" I wasn't sure of myself and he told me that "it's your call", and I said that yeah, we should fix the bug.

For anyone under 35 who is confused by this, was before releases were rolling and shipped online. When Microsoft released a major version back then, it had a (IIRC) ~10 year support contract attached to it (and if you found a bug and were on a good enough of a support contract, the dev team would develop a custom patch for you to fix a bug in a 9 year 6 month old release!), and a lot of gears were set in motion to make a release happen.

This was the norm at Microsoft for a long time. I was originally attracted to the SDET role because they were the last defender of the customer experience, they were the engineers who held the line on quality. The entire industry is worse off for the SDET role having been eliminated across all major software companies.
How often has this been a problem though? How about not keeping your boarding pass, or ticket, or credit card for that matter, visible for the world? Just put it in your wallet, I don't know.
