Meanwhile Facebook is flooded with AI-generated slop with hundreds of thousands of other bots interacting with it to boost it to whoever is insane enough to still use that putrid hellhole of a mass-data-harvesting platform.

Dead internet theory is very much happening in real time, and I dread what's about to come since the world has collectively decided to lose their minds with this AI crap. And people on this site are unironically excited about this garbage that is indistinguishable from spam getting more and more popular. What a fucking joke
It's much easier to follow someone using a public ledger than having to beg/subpoena banks for records with the broken/outdated AML/KYC/KYB system, with bank secrecy in many places, with banks participating in illicit activities too sometimes, etc.

> Theoretically it's possible that people use it for legal means, in practice 99% of people do not.

This is a completely made up statistic and it is showing your bias and/or ignorance about the topic. The lower estimates from industry sources like Chainalysis (0.15-0.62%) contrast sharply with higher academic estimates (23-46%) because the latter tend to include illicit activities that happen off chain but get "washed" on-chain which explains their own huge range of estimation... it is hard to quantify but nobody serious ever came close to 99%.

Something for which there are estimates close to 90% is the volume of transactions happening on centralized exchanges, and since these are required pretty much everywhere to follow AML procedures, just like traditional banks (sometimes even more intrusive than banks), it means it is just as easy, if not easier, to prosecute criminals who would use these... with the added bonus of having a public ledger with records of their activity on-chain.
Sometimes someone writes 50 lines of simple logic. And then sometimes someone else needs to figure out why it’s not working. That person gets very cranky and wastes a lot of time when those “simple” 50 lines aren’t debuggable.

If shell scripting didn’t exist I would be totally fine with that. There are far more scripts that I wish were written in a real language than the other way around.
I feel many job adverts are just brand marketing / intel gathering exercises. Probably 5-10% are genuinely looking to fill positions.
Msys2 (mandatory), ahk, rapid environment editor, notepad2, winaero tweaker (bigger fonts, disabling nonsense).

Not sure about "install", but I think all of them can be just copied to your Documents/MyApps folder and run from there and/or associated in explorer.

I also write all my cli tools in typescript. It’s just a matter of copying a project from my template and running yarn link. Now it’s available in PATH as <toolname>, links directly to project folder (no need to “reinstall” on changes).

Learn how to add menu items in explorer https://stackoverflow.com/questions/20449316/how-add-context...

In msys usr/bin, copy at least the following: echo, find, grep, mkdir, sort, bash - into `x${name}`, so you can run xfind, xbash, etc to not clash with windows builtins. You’ll cp more tools later, but these are immediately necessary.

Use a cmd-prolog for bash scripts:

script.cmd:

:<<BATCH
@xbash %~dpf0 %*
@exit /b
BATCH

echo "bash here"

Powertoys FancyZones work better for me than any K/G/tiling wms.

For Excel, I used `npm i winax` (COM automation) at my last job. You may find it useful for advanced scripting.

> The hospitals, airlines, police, etc. that bought into CrowdStrike should have primary responsibility

This is ridiculous.

None of these business can (or should) handle all of their infosec internally. They must use vendors. And because they don't have infosec expertise, they have no way to verify that a vendor has good quality control.

You're essentially arguing that a hospital should also be responsible if people die because they bought the wrong MRI machine brand or one of their trucking suppliers had a crash and couldn't bring them enough of a certain drug.

There is no universe where vendors shouldn't be responsible for failing to deliver a safety-critical service that they 100% guaranteed they could deliver. There was nothing in the CrowdStrike contract that said, "Updates may inadvertently disable all systems that receive them," because that would mean no one should ever use it.
I cannot comment on Let's Encrypt's reliability. Maybe I had just too many bad experiences from DigiCert outages and I'm bit pessimistic. However, their status page does not give much confidence https://letsencrypt.status.io/pages/history/55957a99e800baa4...

I think if you need to generate a certificate once in a while, using Let's Encrypt or DigiCert is OK. Even if they are down, you can wait for few hours. If you need to generate a certificate every few minutes, few hours of downtime means hundreds of failed provisionings. Hence, we opted for self-signing.

In terms of reliability, it is great, because we control everything. It is also quite fast; it takes few seconds to generate and sign a certificate. The biggest drawback is that you need to distribute the certificate for CA as well. Historically, this was fine, because you need to pass CA cert to PostgreSQL as a parameter anyway, so the additional friction for users that we introduced due to CA cert distribution was low. However with PG16, now there is an option sslrootcert=system, which automatically uses OS trusted CA roots certs. Now the alternative is much seamless and requires almost no action from user, which tilted the balance in favor of globally trusted CAs, but still it doesn't give me enough reason for the switch.

I have few ideas around simultaneously self signing a cert and also requesting certificate from Let's Encrypt. The database can start with the self signed certificate at the beginning and we can switch to Let's Encrypt certificate when it is ready. Maybe I'd implement something like that in the future.
It is one thing if these updates were in hands of the IT of the companies, but that this company just could automatically push them over is just weird.

I accept shared responsibility when there is some agreed deployment and such scenarios, but here? Nope it is on CrowdStrike...
Show HN: Ellen Joe – A landing page for a Zenless Zone Zero character
I built a simple landing page for Ellen Joe, a character from the game Zenless Zone Zero:

https://ellenjoe.org/

Why I made this:

To practice using Next.js as a beginner
Capitalize on the rising search interest for "Zenless Zone Zero"
Experiment with SEO and single-page websites

The site includes character info, wallpapers, and community links. It's open-source, and you can find the code here:

I'm curious to see if I can capture some Google traffic with this niche gaming content. Feedback welcome!
Totally agree. Your suggested response is perfect IMO.
Make a private repo. Making it public, with a readme and ready to be consumed (via npm or the like) implies that you are sharing this with the public. You shouldn't prevent discussion in those cases imo especially if it doesn't require any effort from you to make and keep the issues page available
While often true, this entire comment is completely unrelated to this issue or article. The CrowdStrike failure was an issue of quality control, not susceptibility to an attack.

Thank you, I will of course discuss them with a medical professional. I was given a few Elvanse from a family member who found it wasn't working for them, just to see if it affected me in a positive way, but I've found after taking a couple of doses (20mg, 40 then 20 again over three days) that it hasn't really affected me much mentally (apart from me writing really long paragraphs now and obsessively fixing capitalisation?), and I've been feeling a worrying amount of heart palpitations. I recognise that it probably wasn't incredibly bright to do this, but I'm starting to get really impatient at how long it's taking to get professional help (it's like I've got ADHD or something lol). I'm also not honestly that surprised that it didn't work so well, given how genetic ADHD is

I'm still waiting on actually getting to talk to a doctor about a prescription, because supply issues and the speed of the NHS, and I also have to take an ECG, which I didn't think I needed but after this experience, I absolutely think I need lol. I think they're going to trial me on methylphenidate first, assuming the ECG lets me, but I'll bring up the other options you recommended as well. Thanks!

I've left the big city for the Alps and well... I never had in any city as much social life as here. In cities you cross countless of people you ignore, you have just made few friends and you go with them mostly to consume some service, while in low density areas "home parties" are the norm, having less neighbors you tent to frequent almost all, so instead of being in a bubble you meet people of a variety of background and wealth all together with their ideas, experiences etc. From home many works without a desktop, farmers, laundry with the shop in the basement and the home upstairs, medicine doctors and so on. So well...

I see you scenario much more in a dense city, goshiwong alike, than in spread area of single family homes intermixed with works buildings like EU Rivieras.

With this lifestyle you get:

- much more in-person social activities

- much better environment

- much more personal space

- much less to spend in consuming services, from ready made foods to fast fashion, mobile smart macrobugs devices and so on.

This last point is the reasons why big tech and in general finance capitalism hate such model.
In my checks the calendar 15 years with the disease, I've thankfully only had a hypoglycemic coma once, at a summer camp. I was leading a bass guitar workshop and just suddenly started making less and less sense. It was the only time my blood sugar dropped so fast my brain didn't notice, didn't alert me to eat something, just went straight into being unusable.

Supposedly I laid down on a couch and passed out, which is when one of the kids at the workshop realized it's a similar symptom to what their grandpa had, and alerted a grown-up. I'm very glad there were people around me at that moment.

I woke up to a full bottle of cola and some bread rolls with Nutella being forced into me.
I am not sure why nobody talks about the fundamental flaw in the design of the operating systems. Monolithic kernels were chosen at a time when CPU context switching was a serious penalty on the performace.

So IMHO isn't it time to rethink this idea of putting every single shit into the kernel space?

In other words Linus won then, and its now time to think about Tanenbaum too.[0]

What safety promise? There is no promise of safety here. Part of being a responsible user is understanding that safety cannot be guaranteed; one can only attempt to minimize risk. That's the guiding principle behind the concept of harm reduction.

Making sure you're actually taking what you intend to take is indeed very important, because if it's something else, that indeed would be random and you might not only apply the wrong strategy, but take an incorrect dose as well; the correct dose may be "none" if it is a toxic or lethal substance.

But even when you know exactly what you're taking and what are the risks involved, you can't guarantee safety; no one can. This is important to understand. An incorrect understanding can lead to reckless behavior that will get you killed.

Is the airport display downloading charlixcx.mp3.exe? Is it clicking malware attachments? I seriously want to know.
It’s not insane if your desired outcome is to stir up hatred against immigrants, and to use them as a political pawn for electioneering and personal gain. Ship ‘em in, simultaneously cut services, policing, remove initiatives aimed to aid integration, and all the while loot the country while blaming the “swarm” - or was it “tidal wave”? I forget. “Stop the boats!”, they howl, while opening the floodgates.

I mean, net immigration absolutely soared under the Tories, while they incessantly railed against immigration in the media - it’s hard to see any other explanation.
"Now you have two problems." Adding async/await was a hack to avoid having to tackle the hard problem of real concurrency, so now you have a) no real concurrency, and b) coloured functions.

There is a parallel universe where JS added almost any other concurrency primitive and got a better trade-off than async/await.
I refuse to use the pornoscanners because

0) For years and years and years, European prisons and airports refused to use them because they were deemed to be largely ineffective.

1) They're very, very, very expensive.

2) As mentioned above, they're ineffective. Explosives in a body cavity or a dense hairdo, or spread thinly across one's skin cannot be detected by these devices. Early on there were also demonstrations of fairly-reliable methods of storing weapons that would have been detected by a metal detector on one's person so that they could not be detected by the scanner.

3) When checkpoints get backed up and the lines get too long, TSA often bypass the scanners AND patdowns by running huge numbers of people only through metal detectors.

4) When they were first introduced in the US, they were obviously sufficiently-high resolution to get a clear nude picture of you.

5) No thought had been put into ensuring that these nude photos were not stored... and the only way this was discovered was by some researchers getting a hold of one and finding all of the nude photos of travellers on the thing's storage.

6) It was very, very obvious that TSA screeners were using the pornoscanners to perv on attractive travelers. I used to fly a fair bit and I often heard smoking-hot babes and dudes talk about having to go through the scanners multiple times because of a "glitch" or a "bad scan".

The claim is that points four through six were addressed by making the on-scanner screens show a paper doll with a "region of interest". I have zero faith that the scanners stopped storing full-resolution scans on the machine's local storage, and zero faith that checkpoint personnel are unable to access that storage. I also note that even years after the paper-doll update, checkpoints had a habit of refusing to run children under 13 through the scanner, and usually ran families with kids so young just through a metal detector. This absolutely is not evidence of data storage, but given how insane the US is about data handling regarding kids under 13, it sure is suggestive of it.
> The solution becomes clear: make video, audio, still image, biometric, and behavioral data toxic waste.

This doesn’t seem realistic to me because those data are useful for so many valid purposes and the tech is ubiquitous. So we’d have to regulate and it would be expensive and futile.

Your solutions are difficult to enforce (eg, “fire every executive” doesn’t work even in things like Enron or mine disasters).
FUD implies I'm not certain of the outcome.

I had to stop supporting logged out users because 99% of the CSAM generated on the site came from people trying to skirt the basic login requirements.

Sorry but your privacy doesn't trump my not wanting to run a child porn site, and the overwhelming majority of the public manages to live through having to login in and pay for things with traceable money.

And before the conversation goes there: is it a perfect filter? No. But a 99% reduction (realistically near 100% reduction) in unwanted behavior is what I'd call very effective.
Multics Emacs and the Lisp Machine EINE/ZWEI/ZMACS were also implemented in Lisp, they did not use an embedded scripting Lisp implementation. There is no boundary between an implementation and scriptling language, just one Lisp (Maclisp for Multics Emacs and Lisp Machine Lisp (aka ZetaLisp) for EINE/ZWEI/ZMACS), which in the case of the Lisp Machine also was used to implement the rest of the operating system and all its applications.
Best part is, Active Directory, is not webdev related at all. :)
Yes, when it comes to face scanners at the airport. You’re standing in front of a government camera for a driver’s license or student id and it can (and likely will) take the same image data that the TSA cameras do.

A high rez image is a type of biometric scan if you’re using it for facial recognition.
Rotating a phone 90 degrees is trivial and takes a fraction of a second. Rotating a computer monitor 90 degrees is a pain at the best of times. Rotating a laptop 90 degrees makes it unusable. Rotating a television 90 degrees probably requires a toolkit and an assistant. Which of these adaptations seems more reasonable?
It could also be the doctors seeing an opportunity to write a paper, learn or to get renown. If this is shown to work on more cases then their name will be forever attached to the "first to use X to treat Y".
Yeah, those stupid drug addicts who prefer taking drugs over treatment!

Their program is pretty weak sauce to be honest.

Not clear message of recreating BritishRail outright. They should go back to full uniform marketing strategy. NetworkRail should be rolled back into BritishRail.

Their proposal is mostly adding more unneeded stuff, to the complex organizational chart. You don't need a 'Passenger Standards Authority', what you need is a public rail company that works for the public and has good funding.

The rolling stock companies are literal cancers, the need to be burned down. In fact they should be disowned, the profit they made over the last decades should be removed from the price. They basically got a sweetheart deal and profit off the public since then. Its almost as fucking stupid as Chicago selling its own roads, almost.

They also promised very little beyond that. Britain desperately needs a rolling electrification program and a rolling station access compliance program. No commitment to anything other then just 'nationalization' as a pretty abstract thing.

There is no commitment to roll HS2 into BritishRail either.
>Surely Microsoft would like to shake out the last diehards running some VB5 app on a patched up PC in a factory.
>Isn't it more beneficial to everyone to start sunsetting acres of ancient NT code and approaches and streamline the entire attack surface?

If your code somehow still relies on some buggy behaviour to work, then MS shouldn't do anything to preserve that anymore - apparently they used to, but I'm not so sure nowadays.

However 'ancient NT' code should probably still function just fine since the Win32 API hasn't changed much for a while, and MS don't actively deprecate function calls (unlike Apple who seem to do it a bit on a whim recently). I would put this down to the API being pretty well designed in the first place.

They have a Ruby control plane; https://www.crunchydata.com/blog/crunchy-bridges-ruby-backen...
To be honest I think with a lot of policy issues in the UK at the moment you need to just give the government a bit of time to breath. Sunak's decision making on HS2 was bizarre bad long term/short term/pragmatic/polcitical. It was just one of those bizarre moments where he had sort of a correct aim and then changed that aim into "How can I cause as much damage as possible". So the current policy is extremely expensive, makes rail infrastructure worse and leaves even the things that remain in plan, largely poorly planned.

But we don't seriously beleive the labour government agree with this plan. We know it's going to change. So at some point in the next 12 months you can pretty much guarantee that a new rail strategy is going to be unveiled, and until that point there isn't really a whole lot worth talking about with the current strategy. The only thing to say is that I doubt HS2 is going to be a core part of the strategy going forward, you're more likely to see some big plans for regional rail and the details on HS2 will likely be "Well let's just tidy up this mess and draw it to a close".
The overhead of context switching is — if anything — higher in relative terms.

I wonder if it would be possible to make an OS that uses an inter-process communication primitive that works like io_uring to mitigate this overhead.
