mass production of books originally in china was with the blessing of the state. mass production of books in europe, centuries later, started in the places with the weakest states and often over the protest of those states

i feel like the fundamental discoveries of radio, information theory, error correction coding, automata theory, language theory, type theory, mathematical logic, instruction set design, compiler optimization, etc., which form a much better medium for distribution of books than hot lead ever could, are fundamentally not that dependent on states and mass production. yes, there is a huge difference between the billion-transistor chip i'm running this browser on and the 3500-transistor cpu in a commodore 64. but the commodore was already a weapon of mass instruction, as anyone who used commodore bbses in the 80s knows

if states collapsed, would we still be able to make computers? i suspect we would, though we'd have to do a lot of innovation to adapt to the radical new environment
Stremio OS is a good open-ended solution to the problem of non-active torrent users. In the existing desktop client, the user only participates while watching a particular stream - but with Stremio OS, the capability for torrent participation is a lot more viable.

Watch for an update to Stremio in the near future with a toggle for 'participate in torrent sharing while not watching' ..

I love a good conspiracy just like anyone. And i certainly hope the relevant authorities will take a good, deep look at what knocked over the dominoes CrowdStrike set up in a line. But i just don’t see how those state actors would benefit from this. There is damage, both financial and humans harmed, but is that the best a state actor could do? I would have thought they would sync such an action with other measures for maximum impact.

That is always wise. Can you tell us more? In particular could you spell out how the Kaspersky ban factors in here in your opinion?

> As for your opening statement "Some part of a company already aware of an issue but different part still ships is a pretty common tale" is not applicable here since this code runs in kernel mode (in both OSes) and thus would be subject to far far greater scrutiny and testing than an ordinary app.

Are you saying that this scrutiny is somehow enough to overcome companies natural tendency to be disparate and unorganised?
> As in, progressively learn to deal with those two aspects that are instant triggers for an ADHD mind to run away?

Regular life will do that to you anyway; not sure how a game is going to help.

If anything, particularly when aimed at kids, it's main effect is likely exhausting the video game time budget parents allotted to the kid, possibly souring the whole class of entertainment to them. Which I guess may look like a win to outsiders if the kid happens to use videogames to cope with ADHD. Not sure if it's a win for the kid.
Yeah, same. Honestly I’m flabbergasted at the state of things.

In princple, yes, if you have third-party Ring 0 kernel-mode drivers, they could crash a POSIX system as well as a windows one.

But that doesn't seem to be what happened here.

Random idea that I haven't fully thought through: continue to run the kernel at Ring 0 and userland at Ring 3, but move "tools" like this to Ring 1.
It's a completely different situation for sure.

But I think the argument is still valid for other reasons.
The Maras Dondurma sellers in the stalls also like to mess around, especially with kids and put on a show. For example, the give you the ice cream in two cones (stacked on top of each other), and then pull up their big spoon (see one of the pics in the article). Because the ice cream is sticky, it pulls the upper cone with it, and you're left holding an empty cone.
You can add the popcorntime plugin to stremio and get the best of both worlds.
I've found chess very good for this. I can easily play for 3-6 hours in one session while getting completely in flow / losing track of time.

I very much disagree that Pin is as hard as everyone makes it out to be. Using the pin! macros, the pin-project crate, and enough as_mut() to get it to compile and it's not hard at all to get a future impl working. It would be good to get this native (which is what boats wants) so it's easier to discover but it's not at all hard by any means

I think a lot of people think pin is confusing but don't actually try to learn it. When I've sat with people and helped them they understand pretty quickly what pin solves and how it works.

I very strongly think move constructors would be even more complex than pin.

Sure, you can get stuff out faster by using a web view, but it will suck. It's the usual conflict between speed of development vs control. In the 90s we had Visual Basic for that, but if you were serious about quality you would use something lower level.

Linux is kind of a special case because its ancient ancestry and open philosophy means it doesn't offer standard UI components at all (and with Wayland, there's not even a standard API for creating windows). You either draw the pixels yourself on the screen or you use some library for it. But if you're targeting primarily KDE you would use QT, and if you target primarily Gnome you use GTK.

With MacOS and Windows there is a rich set of standard UI controls implemented by the OS, that ensure integration with the OS and a consistent look & feel. When you use a webview you lose all that.

This is actually an interesting take on the RtO problem. By restating the issue in a way that "upper management" might understand better it clarifies the problems that RtO creates for the "normal" workers.

And as far as the Dell workers choosing remote over promotions, I completely understand and agree. In fact, if I were a Dell worker put into that position I would gladly accept the decreased change of recognition, stay remote, and do everything in my power to leave the company for greener pastures. Dell (and other companies with RtO mandates) are cutting off their noses to spite their faces.
The nature of open source is that people work on what they want to work on. People work on async because it interests them. But to the same level many people in the lang and libs team don't know async that well. You may perceive it that everyone works only on async but this is just not true.
> there's only one prestige Dutch dialect though

Which one would that be? AN which nobody actually uses (at least here in Flanders)?

I don't know much about how it works within the Netherlands but within Belgium at least the Dutch accent gives you no prestige at all. I would expect the reverse to be true in the Netherlands (whichever accent one would choose to represent the Flemish) since the Dutch sometimes don't even recognise Flemish speakers as native Dutch speakers and answer in English instead.

Afrikaans is a related but separate language. Suriname, as the third Dutch speaking country, does use the same spellings as Belgium and the Netherlands.

You are correct. All the electron motion in a CPU turns to waste heat or electromagnetic radiation which eventually becomes waste heat.
You don't store direct memory offsets if possible. You have a system of handles and store the handle keys instead ofndirect pointer addresses.

Yes you still need to validate the keys to avoid logic errors, but you can avoid the memory errors.
"but can you even pass a file descriptor across a file descriptor in plan9 the way scm_rights lets you do in bsd and linux?" No, the mechanism was even simpler. We had the #s device (usually bound as /srv) for this, whereby you could drop a file in /srv containing a single integer representing a file descriptor, and other processes could open() that file to get another reference to that file descriptor.

My mandatory access control experiments abused the fact that I could have open file descriptors and barely anything bound in the namespace by the time I exec()ed what I wanted to run. What files did those file descriptors reference? You didn't need to know, and you couldn't see them.
Question to the community. I managed to expose all customer data of a well-funded D2C brand and when I reached out to them I did not ask for bounty before I shared the fix/the security hole. I only got a 200 USD gift card for their shop :D

What is best practice here? Do you first tell the company that they have a security issue, ask for bounty and then help? Is that unethical? Blackmail?
I don't think the question was in the context of computers or even electronics in general, as the original claim cited ("70 percent of the world's power production ends up as waste heat") was certainly not restricted to computing.

In the context of CPUs, yes, the heat produced is equal to the input power. However this is not at all true for light bulbs, for motors, for battery chargers, etc. A light bulb in particular transforms some of the electrical energy into heat, but some of it into emitted light.

Even in incandescent bulbs, some the electricity gets turned into heat, raising the temperature of the filament, but past some point, the temperature no longer increases and all the extra energy gets converted into light. That is, if you were to submerge an incandescent light bulb in a large quantity of water and leave it on for 10 minutes, you'd get cooler water than if you submerged just the filament (ignoring the possible shortcircuits): if the temperature of the filament is kept below the point where it emits light, than all the electrocity goes into heat; but if it starts emitting light, then some of the energy escapes and doesn't heat the water.
How are heat and entropy different?
Yes for sure, but that is the parallel. You won't let your boss know during the process.
I already use Stremio with LineageOS on Raspberry 4, it's android so you can install a lot of apps directly from the store, stremio included.
Phonons aren't particles, they are quasi-particles i.e. excitations of the crystal lattice that behave a lot like particles. Weird for an MIT article to get that so wrong, they aren't subatomic either as they are "made" of atoms (which is an over-simplification as well) and can span many unit cells in a crystal.

I'm more worried about how divisive the race will be if they nominate her (black vs white). It'll allow the media machine to paint numerous "oh it's because she's black, isn't it" kind of rhetoric as a smear on the Republicans.

Reading this entire thread tbh has been a sad and worrying re-affirmation of my beliefs that we're all collectively "fucked". We literally can't put aside differences (myself included) and argue on facts and details, and instead resorting to tribalism.

The big reason we're resorting to tribalism, I think, is because of a peculiar element of human nature about wanting to "right" past "wrongs". So if me looking in from the outside, see the other side winning unfairly last time round, I'll support my side's wrongs despite them being objectively wrong (or what I don't even want) because I want to right the wrong of the past. That topped with the fact that the stakes are a whole lot higher each time means that neither side wants to "take one for the team" - because they know that if they did, the other side will just use the opportunity to the detriment of their opponents.
We use rrweb as a DOM-recorder in our extension, and it does come with some limitations. Taken from our docs:

- DOM recording has the fundamental trait that nothing outside the DOM can be recorded. This latter limitation means that only content on the specific page is recorded: Data in popup dialogs or other tabs is not recorded, neither is anything outside the HTML document like native MacOS/Windows menus shown for native HTML selects.

- On top of that, some embeddable elements like <canvas> are not recorded (e.g. Google Maps, Figma).

- When playing back DOM recordings, there can be visual glitches, like duplicate elements being shown. Even when there’s no obvious glitches, a DOM recording is unlikely to look exactly like the page as experienced by the session reported.

- Security configuration like CORS on the recorded site’s hosting, and Bird’s own CSP policy can prevent the loading and rendering of embedded elements, like the original page’s font.

- Because DOM recordings don’t include all information (e.g. image files are only linked to), DOM recordings can drift apart from the time of the recording in fidelity over time, if the content of the asset behind the URL changes, or even degrade, or when the assets are no longer accessible at all at the URL.

Having said that, we found that rrweb is quite reliable on most situations and works well for most of our users.

Replay.io is a different beast altogether. They implement their tooling on their own browser (Chromium-based), so they have access to much more precise data than a JS-library like rrweb does. More info here: https://blog.replay.io/how-replay-works

I'm not totally familiar with Himmler's exact beliefs and plans - but if say, he was almost as bad but not quite as bad as Hitler, then I would certainly be voting for him instead of Hitler. I would hope every other voter did the same.

Turn photos into oscillating wave animations -- just upload a picture, then drag the sliders to adjust the waves that are used to manipulate the image

You can control the sine wave frequency and amplitude in both X/Y directions. You can create a video export to save and/or share your animation afterwards.

I've been going through the comments on previous posts. I think one of the biggest issues with the article is the title. It seems to act as an anchor for a lot of people to the point where they'll argue against things that aren't in the article, just implied by the title (without context). So there'll be people arguing that she doesn't want to validate at all and just wants to parse, when really the article is about where you validate your data (and what you do with the result). It is not about getting rid of all validation.
Utilize strong type system to make the error case unrepresentable. This is great advice to reduce bugs in software in general. It takes more time to think about the problem and to make a design following this. However, a lot of times it is worth the time.

Doing it in a GUI should be fairly trivial, it's just update/replacement of the file pickers with a few more options.

As far as the command line goes... that's the problem. We don't have any standardization for command line syntax. My first instinct is to try to impose it, but that seems like a "boil the ocean" approach.

Next up, something like pipes? Maybe a new set of delimiters to pipe capabilities, and allow testing of them in some fairly transparent way?

People drink the kool-aid and believe that Linux needs antivirus. So many vendors tried and failed at scaring people into buying Linux antivirus that I've lost track over the years.

My perspective is that it is a very very poor idea to have an anti-malware solution running on a Linux system. CrowdStrike is very persistent in their sales pitches and do FUD campaigns better than the competition to convinse people with decision making authority that Linux and Containers and what needs an antivirus.

It's a good question. A lot of people seem to think SpaceX can build it and the demand will appear, but that isn't how things have played out so far.

SpaceX has lowered launch costs and they do launch a lot, but they're mostly putting their own satellites up. The demand from everyone else has increased a bit, but not really enough to support the "build it and they will come" theory.

The failure of the Falcon Heavy to generate demand speaks volumes about how much demand Starship will see, IMO. Sure we might get an occasional space station, big telescope or Moon landing, but that will add up to a handful of launches. The demand for three launches a day like Musk wants just isn't there, and won't be for a very long time.
