> Though consider the fact that taking over someone's account shouldn't give you (a spammer) unlimited access either.

But it's not unlimited access -- it's _read_ access at that point. This is just when trying to access the forums at all, not when trying to post a message.
And if they were worried about evildoers scraping all the data from their forums, they could rate-limit and then require captchas (their WAF settings make that trivial). But they don't, or the rate limiting is so generous that I've never hit it, and their forums are not that active, so I don't think that's the reason.

Adding more protection to an endpoint where users send posts makes some sense, but for reading? On their dashboard you need to solve the captcha on the login-form. On the forums, you cannot even get to the login (which works via the dashboard, where you'll solve a captcha again) until you've solved the captcha.

I use and like CF's products a lot (I'm a paying customer, I'm not even looking for free support on the forums, but their docs are lacking a lot of information that I'm interested in), so I don't believe in "we're incompetent", keeping the resource-investment low by filtering out bots and a chunk of users makes a lot more sense.
I spent a few days agonizing over this same problem, and the culprit turned out to by my user-agent modifier extension.
China has 4-5 times the population of the US and there is no reason for a Chinese person to remain 4+ times poorer than an American. Even if China's population drops this leaves a big margin.

So "won't" has to be a question of timeframe in the grand scheme of things.

No, you need to clean and disinfect to kill bacteria regardless.

Cooking meat does not kill the toxic byproducts of bacteria. Many bacteria produces enterotoxins, which survive cooking and cause what we know as "food poisoning".

You would not want your cutting board harboring and growing these bacteria under any circumstances, even if you're cooking the product you're cutting.

I agree but I think s/he showed good faith with the rest of the comment and shouldn't be flagged.

GP's surprise that Taibbi (author of the Twitter Files, hired by Musk) said "there is no evidence of government involvement in the laptop story" is great evidence of the fact that many people just live in informational wormholes.

Hi, I'm Harry Altman! I was the maintainer of Truffle Debugger (https://github.com/trufflesuite/truffle/tree/develop/package...), a Solidity smart contract debugger, for 5 years. I eventually ended up writing my own decoding and encoding libraries to support it, as well as a bunch of other things.

I'm good at this sort of nitpicky work, spotting and thinking about edge cases. I like getting things exactly right, even though that obviously isn't always possible due to various constraints. I've been kind of wondering if I should get into embedded development; I find it appealing when things are low-level or similarly constrained. I've beaten Microcorruption. :) (The original levels, I haven't played the new ones.)

I'm also quite interested in unusual or obscure data formats, and working on Truffle Debugger and its associated libraries certainly involved a bunch of having to figure undocumented formats and interfaces. :) I put down above what languages I've worked substantially in but I'd say I'm a generalist and will figure out whatever you give me (I knew approximately no Javascript, Typescript, or Solidity when I started working at Consensys).

I'm a mathematician by background and in my spare time, so after the Truffle Debugger project was shut down I took some time off to focus on my mathematical projects. But now I'm looking for work again! If you need someone like me, I'm available for hire!

OP is not asserting that all GPL'd code is part of the "gift economy". I also wrote some GPLv2 code a large corp in the past, and I wouldn't consider it that, either. But projects like UBlock Origin that are run by volunteer contributors are very different.

You seem to be basing your rejection of "gift economy" as a label for the latter on the basis that it's not done for entirely altruistic purpose. But that is generally true of gift economies - most people who participate in them (and I'm not just talking of software here!) are not doing it out of purely altruistic motives, and actually expect to receive benefit from such an economy as well. Usually this is cultural, but some people, like you, might consciously believe that it's the most efficient way to distribute goods (whatever their definition of "efficient" might be).
> This would also mean that we can only process the data if the computer was open.

The whole point of keeping the data on computers a client controls is that they have control over it - if you're just going to pull it out somewhere else for fuck knows what purposes, it defeats the purpose of them storing the data.

The solution is to have software that is installed on computer(s) they control. Whether "process" you need to run should run on their computer(s), under their control.

If that is "too much of a hassle", it sounds like they'll be better served by a vendor that actually understands their concerns and requirements

I can't help but feel like I lucked into easy mode given the general consensus that everything sucks right now. Applied to 10 places (mix of FAANG and small startups) after taking a year off from work. Heard back from 5, somehow got offers from all 5 and am starting at one of them next month.

It took a fair bit of prep to get back into things - especially when it comes to system design interviews - but otherwise everything went fine. Really enjoyed how some companies are trying non-leetcode approaches lately like code review and debugging sessions.
I would suspect that OP is choosing the webpage out of convenience but that there is a List-Unsubscribe: header hiding in the raw version of the email, cheerfully nuking the FTC complaint. Now, demonstrating that the List-Unsubscribe worked is left as an exercise to the reader, but let's be honest, it's the same with the web page variant with bonus points for those pages usually ending it "yeah, we'll get around to it is 364 business days" or some shit

I'm not sure if this is what the parent means, but i kind of feel like the tags vs categories debate.

MediaWiki uses the term "category" for its system of tagging pages. This generally is used as a very complex system of hierarchy with many nested levels and prescribed "correct" categories.

Some people think we should use "tags" instead (e.g. less nesting and more intersecting. Instead of a category "People in Belgium" use a tag "People" and a tag "Belgium" and apply both).

On a technical level the feature requirements are basically the same, but the word tag and the word category have such strong connotations that the mere name strongly supports one social organization over another (imo)
Yubikeys offer PINs and passwords, a physical user presence button, finger print sensors, NFC, and you can use one key on different PCs, you can deal with PC hardware failures by moving the key and deal with key failures with a backup key, and and it's compatible with Windows, Linux, OS X, Android and iPhone.

So they're a heck of a lot more flexible.

But in a corporate environment, you might not give a shit about Linux support, and you might think it's better if the user can't unplug the key and plug it into another PC, because corporate workers should only connect to corporate systems with their corporate-issued laptops, and corporate helpdesk will sort out any hardware problems.

For sure this is in the area of the current zeitgeist hype. One reason for this is Eliza's integration with cryptocurrency and blockchain technology, see AI Agents with Crypto Superpowers [1].

I think another reason is the DAO model that is capturing community involvement to build with the platform in exchange for a modest 'tax' that feeds back into the Eliza token.

The GitHub repo was the most starred last month [2]

Another project receiving the hype due to crypto crossover is Virtuals [3]

You're coming at this from the perspective of "it's weird to change the rules after the fact" which is reasonable but not how stare decisis works. The principle is that once something is decided once, it should be decided the same for all other parties litigating the issue unless and until the precedent is overturned. If something hasn't yet been litigated, it is still an open question.

It would be weird if, for example, the Supreme Court said that gay marriage is constitutionally protected but all the existing laws banning it could stand because they were enacted earlier.

Missing context in the comment you replied to is that hand made cymbal companies in Istanbul can all be traced back to the old Zildjian factory there

Here I found a news story in English summarizing the situation [1]:

> The Zildjian company moved to the United States in 1929, while Avedis III moved the Zildjian factory to Quincy, Massachusetts, and then to its current location in nearby Norwell for Zildjian’s 350th anniversary.

> ... As one arm of the Zildjian family was building a huge brand in the U.S., those who remained in Turkey continued making cymbals until 1978, when Mikael Zildjian died.

> Tamdeğer said he felt desperate after his master’s death. Following two years of jewelry business in Kuwait, he re-founded the old business with his former colleague, Agop Tomurcuk, another Turkish-Armenian.

I thought config files can’t be copyrighted. The post talks about what appears to just be a config file.
As someone who used Revit for 5 years before moving to develop and maintain custom Revit API apps full-time, I have many horror stories I could share (feel free to AMA). I can say that the latest version of Revit (R2025) is largely a single-threaded application, and has only just upgraded their back-end from .Net Framework 4.8.1 to .Net8.0. The company continuously and openly takes breathtakingly blatant advantage of their user base and is at worst adversarial to their users. The software captures and exchanges a surprising amount of data during usage (to the point that Revit itself is hard to distinguish between malware by network cybersec software). Autodesk is a walking-talking timebomb of an antitrust suit waiting to happen. With that said, Revit does a lot of things well and there are no realistic alternatives. Personally, I have always found community responses on forums very helpful while autodesk support has ranged from helpful, to useless, to simultaneously counter-productive and insulting. Jeremy Tammik (officially affiliated with Autodesk these days) and his “The Building Coder Blog” is a very nice reference for Revit API and he is somehow EVERYWHERE on the forums.

edit: the open letter posted here by another user does a very good job detailing many broad issues (with Revit in particular); every point it makes is accurate in my experience.
Go’s HTTP library is production-ready. Python’s isn’t. Python has a ton of dead batteries in the standard library—stuff like urllib is plain dangerous to use these days. But Go doesn’t have collections.abc, itertools, heapq, deque, and many other data structure niceties. I still reach for Python for numerical and algorithmic tasks.
But why tho?

The only kind of plausible explanation the author gives is that it's "more secure" because the imaginary attacker will have to take an extra step to get the password from the VM instead of the host OS? -- This seems like such an inconsequential / worthless benefit to jump through the hoops of running things in a VM...

Like... I wasn't sold on this approach from the get go, and this pitch makes it sound like I was right all along?

Other non-starter "bonuses" include not installing developer tools on your laptop that you have for... drum roll... development. Why? It's sole purpose is to be used for development, why not install development tools on it? Just doesn't make any sense...

Anyone else here holding out?

I am a hold out on upgrading, but mostly because of what I gather Microsoft's vision of the future of computing.

They took a page out of Apple's notebook, the one where the user doesn't know what they want, the company does.

Apparently we want:

- A requirement of a non-local Microsoft account to install or use it, with no opt-out
- An AI subsystem that tracks everything we do on the machine
- Requirement to upgrade hardware to install the OS
- Ads in our face
- A worse start menu
- A worse taskbar
- Dark patterns to get us to accept it all

I just want to buy an operating system for my hardware, not have Microsoft claim said hardware as their property. I'm the landlord, not the OS developer.

I'll be using Windows 10 until I can't any longer for things that require Windows. For everything else, Linux.

under the radar? maybe its because I'm a former Marching band kid that played the cymbals. but Zildjian is THE brand when it comes to cymbals.

I like the idea of granular permissions for libraries. When you include a dependency you whitelist permissions it gets. Package managers could automate this if the language supports it. But making it about permissions instead of metrics .akes it not arbitrary. This library gets no filesystem access, that one gets no network access. This one runs build time system commands... Austral is the only language I know of that supports such a thing. While it might be possible to bolt it on to rust, I think it would take so much rework to make it infeasible.

I know you are not probably part of this group - but can we stop just comparing Android to iPhones? There are Android Devices which are in a lot of metrics way better than an iPhone and vice versa a lot of iPhones better than a big set of Android devices. But still, depending on different factory like price, ecosystem, habit etc., people go for one or another. It's not 2010, where iOS has been the only (relatively) mature OS.

Really not an Android Fanboy, and had devices from both worlds but this one thing is bugging me out as it is just a blatant product of Apple's "our devices are better because our name is on it" marketing - and it's bugging me out.

> What parts of note-taking should we digitize? What aspects should remain firmly in human hands? And most importantly, how do I create a tool that enhances rather than replaces human thought?

My personal philosophy is to use the most primitive methods possible and only use technology when there really is a strong need to go to the next level. It exposes what I really need, what are the weaknesses, etc. For example, I take all my notes with pen and paper. But if I find that I'm really referring back to something, I might write it up in a document. I don't see the point in digitizing everything right away if I'm never going to use what I write.

Moreover, writing things first by hand helps me remember them better and "feel" the knowledge through my hands.

Same thing with photography. I don't tend to use the burst mode on my camera unless I REALLY need it. When it comes to accomplishing things, I found (personally) that asceticism with tools is best.
