I occasionally set up notifications when apps make requests using NetGuard and let it run for a day. The result is always depressing, lots of apps phoning home that I haven't opened in days...

I let it run today, and the worst offenders I have installed are Spotify (various requests to Facebook endpoints, I have no Facebook integration turned on) and Speedtest (constant requests to their logging endpoint and ad partners). This is all happening without me actually using those apps.
The linux kernel has a built-in firewall, and provides iptables to configure it. Firewalld is also installed by default at least on Fedora, and UFW for debian-based.

Unless this is just a battle of semantics on the fact iptables/firewalld/ufw are user space apps.

Oh, I very much like this.

But forget just LLM ranges, there could be many other unknown groups doing the same thing, or using residential proxy collections to forward their requests. Just add to every page a side-note of a couple of arbitrary sentences like this, with a “What Is This?” link to take confused humans to a small page explaining your little game.

Don't make the text too random, that might be easily detectable (a bot might take two or more snapshots of a page and reject any text that changes every time, to try filter out accidental noise and therefore avoid our intentional noise), perhaps seed the text generator with the filename+timestamp or some other almost-but-not-quite static content/metadata metrics. Also, if the text is too random it'll just be lost in the noise, some repetition would be needed for there to be any detectable effect in the final output.

Anyone complaining that I'm deliberately sabotaging them will be pointed to the robots.txt file that explicitly says no bots⁰, the licence that says no commercial use¹ without payment of daft-but-not-ridiculous fees.

> To get a detailed lay of the land, Frachetti and Maksudov equipped a drone with remote-sensing technology called lidar (light detection and ranging). Drones are tightly regulated in Uzbekistan, but the researchers managed to get the necessary permits to fly one at the site. A lidar scanner uses laser pulses to map the features of land below. The technology has been increasingly used in archaeology—in the past few years it has helped uncover a lost Maya city sprawling beneath the rainforest canopy in Guatemala.

> This method has its limitations, Silvia says—namely, it often turns up false positives. It’s also impossible to confirm which features come from which time period without more excavation.

Despite the limitations, it's still great that this technology is making inroads in archaeology. Would be interested to see this put to work in the Sahara and other mostly unexplored/unexcavated areas. Seems to be a low-cost but potentially high-reward project.
I have experimented with a local setup in our team.

With the new Docker compose watch functionality I think it works well.

https://docs.docker.com/compose/how-tos/file-watch/

For me this has negated the need for manual mounting.

I combine the above with dotnet watch —-non-interactive in the dockerfile for dotnet and a simple ng serve in our Angular apps.

If new dependencies are added via npm install you can set it so that Docker watch will auto rebuild your container. So it gets around that issue too.

I have a .bat file in our repo that runs the Docker compose action to start up all the needed services and has some powershell to wait until the main UI service is up. When it’s up it auto opens the web browser.

I have a docker container that uses Dozzle (https://dozzle.dev/) for log monitoring across the various services. It can also stop/restart containers if needed.

I also have a container that can be ran to perform a database restore from an external Postgres DB into a local Postgres Docker container.

I will say that dotnet debugging is clunky. You can attach to the Docker container in Visual Studio but if a hot reload has happened you can’t debug again until the app has restarted. For dotnet if I need to do some intensive debugging I tend to spin it up outside Docker for this reason.
> but to other engineers they just look like simple build targets.

I forgot to mention, this is by design. It is uncommon at Google for a BUILD file to be more than 3 or 4 build targets. Maybe someone will add a for loop to the build so that they can define various flavors of the build easily, but that's it. Anything more complicated and it should be extracted to a separate Skylark file, included, and in the BUILD file it should look like a basic task.
The field of reinforcement learning is huge. There are many different algorithms with catchy names, which are mostly variations of two basic algorithms. However, each variation can easily keep you busy for a PhD or two.

There was nothing in the government crimes or alleged crimes in the documents that needed to be released before the documents had been thoroughly reviewed and the information on people not involved redacted.

This is the big difference I see with the Edward Snowden case, the papers that published the leaked documents attempted to redact any information that could put people at risk.

> I'm not saying that rebasing is useless (I default to it), I'm debating if the effort is worth it in engineering terms, which I generally don't see because the benefits seem to be small compared to the cost.

For what's it worth, I agree for most projects I've been on. I've rarely e.g. used deep Git history forensics to figure out a regression, or to figure out why some code is the way it is. Usually I'm just tracking down the fairly recent squashed commit of a pull request that introduced the problem and it's obvious enough where to look to fix it.

I like the idea of clean, super fine-grained commits with good summaries but I never see people mention that this takes extra time to do, because putting a pull request together is usually a messy iterative process, and not a predictable sequence of clean independent commits.

Real work is more like "Add sketch of code ... Iterate some more ... Fix bug ... Iterate some more ... Upgrade library ... Really fix the bug ... Clean up ... Merge from main and get working ... Refactor ... Add comments ... Fix PR requests". Rebasing as you go or going back at the end to break that into chunks that will each independently make sense and pass tests costs a lot of time? Maybe I'm missing something?

The time vs benefit trade-off is probably different with huge teams and huge projects, but for solo projects, small teams, and medium projects the trade-offs are different.

Feels similar to test suite discussions. People don't mention there's a cost vs benefit trade-off to how fine grained your tests should be for different scenarios as it depends on a lot of factors you need to balance.
Yep, "visibility" and "impact" (oh, how I loathe those words) are everything in a competitive environment or when management is looking to make job cuts. If your manager can't make the case as to why you are more important to the organization than your co-workers, your employment hangs by a thread.

For me personally the bigger the laptop the better but that is far down my list of prerequisites. I primarily look for:

- User serviceability. Easy to upgrade memory, storage, battery.

- Multiple USB 3.2+ ports.

- Mostly easy to disassemble without laptop specific tools or proprietary knowledge. It should come with a tech manual meant for service techs that includes any hidden features and functions.

- Built to handle significant physical abuse. (Hiking in the mountains, off-road, horseback, exposure to sun and snow) I should be able to easily mount it in front of a plate carrier.

I would really like to see higher quality batteries and battery management with a guaranteed rating much like one would find on LifePo4 RV batteries. I should be able to fully discharge and speed charge the battery at least 20,000 times without losing more than 80% capacity. The battery should just pop out the back of the laptop and I should be able to snap into place a much bigger one. I am not buying any more laptops until these things are easy to find.

Edit for clarity: A total latency of 20ms from motion->display update is not egregiously bad.

But by RTT, I mean the additional latency induced by going to a central server over the internet and back. You've also got latency from input->sensor, sensor->packet, [packet-flight-time], frame-gen-time, [response-packet-flight-time], response-packet->decoded-video, and signal->display-update.
