I guess since they used "rave", people assume they use the commonly understood definition of the word

yea, this article has unfortunately fallen foul of the 'headline doesn't match the article' problem. Seems to be a common problem these days when the headline writer is judged by how many clicks their headline gets, rather than if it's actually relevant to the article.
Mark Zuckerberg's Political Evolution, from Apologies to No More Apologies
I read the article, and I don't think it changes it. If you crack someone's key, they might be well within their rights to pursue a criminal prosecution. Of course it would also have a Streisand effect and there's reasons not to, but I personally wouldn't allow or recommend a security researcher to do it. It's needlessly risky.

In general, subverting security and privacy controls tends to be illegal in most jurisdictions. Best case is when you have clear permission or consent to do some testing. Absent that there's a general consensus that good faith searching for vulnerabilities is ok, as long as you report findings early and squarely. But if you go on to actually abuse the vulnerability to spy on users, look at data etc ... you've crossed a line. For me, cracking a key is much more like that second case. Now you have a secret that can be used for impersonation and decryption. That's not something I'd want to be in possession of without permission.

"Just dump the game" is not an easy thing to do when you're addicted. There are people out there who literally wake up at 3 AM to do daily tasks because that's when some idiotic timer resets. It's not something you just "dump". I know because I've been there.
Germany is in crisis because for the last two decades, it hasn't been investing in infrastructure, digitalization, education, or anything for that matter. Cheap Russian gas just delayed the chickens coming home to roost.
I have a theory that with the decline of religion in the West, people replaced what they got from religious ideology with political ideology. The sense of belonging and community. The sense of certainty in basic tenets. The confidence of being able to reliably recite their 'scriptures'. (Which 'scriptures' all having been laid down by their prophets.) And they are all guided by faith, not necessarily data. They have become quasi-religious organizations, and I'm sure in the future, will probably crystalize into something fairly overtly similar to what we would call religions today.

I guess the point is that you can see some of the same behaviors of religious types being evoked in adherents to the various political ideologies. To the point of not really even being willing to listen to math, or data, or science. There is a very real perception among them that the scriptures allow a better understanding of nature and the universe than the systems nature and the universe provide to aid our understanding. Even more worryingly, as the article points out, they will often put forth ideologically pure 'domain experts' who can be relied on to give explanations grounded more in doctrinal alignment than scientific veracity. So we've already reached a point where explanations that are in accordance with 'scripture' have become a matter of great doctrinal import to these groups, and are being actively sought out. I guess by that I mean, the poison has leaked over from general society, into the sciences.

I honestly believe that, as these groupings of political ideologues coalesce to replace religion more and more, I'd bet dollars to donuts that extremism in the future will be fueled almost exclusively by these quasi-religious political groupings.
This. COBOL is actually quite performant given what it has to deal with. To answer the OP’s question: when you have 2M lines of COBOL that processes thousands of medical records or financial transactions per second, is critically important to the business, and essentially never fails, there is absolutely no incentive to ever replace that code. It doesn’t matter if it’s “out of date” or in an uncool language.
When was the last time a doctor hand-wrote a prescription? 15 years ago?
If you have no idea what the usage is you are already doomed. However tests helps, whenever there is a regression you should write a test so that the same thing wont regress again.

Writing code is not like in real life where herd mentally usually saves your life. Go ahead and improve the code, what helps is tests... but also at least logging errors, and throwing errors. Tests and errors go hand in hand. Errors are not your enemy, errors helps you improve the program.

> ultimately the point of moderation is to delete posts which aren't true so they receive no reach and spread no disinformation.

That assumes that the correct amount of disinformation is zero, personally I wish to maintain my right to be wrong, and my right to tell others of my wrong ideas, and I hope they maintain the right to tell me I'm full of it.

Your position on censorship, moderation, as you call it, is your opinion, and your opinion only, and it is at odds with the position of X, and now Meta, who are taking the position that the point of moderation is to respect everyone's right to speech, while making it very obvious to those that care, that the speech may be less than truthful. Essentially everyone gets to speak, and everyone gets to make up their own mind. What a concept!

I also maintain a position of truth dies in the dark, and lies die in the light.

Most people aren't stupid, community notes breaks the echo chamber and provides a counterpoint.

That debate of free ideas has been working pretty well so far. So much so that we can usually tell who the bad guys are by how much the create darkness; how much they take on the role of arbiters of truth, how much they silence critics, think Soviet Russia, or North Korea for some good examples.
Well said. I like to imagine some old guy holding the pink FT pages in a London cafe, peering over his reading glasses while egg drips off of his toast onto his pleated houndstooth trousers.
> It's not like your work was going to look good on a 9 dots per inch matrix printer.

Hmmmm... I don't remember the exact matrix printer I had (some Epson probably) and it wasn't 8-bit but 16-bit era but I remember making very nice (for the time) D&D character sheets on the Amiga. Sure it wasn't a 1200 DPI laser printer but it was still cool.

The Apple ImageWriter II was a 9-in dot-matrix printer and already allowed to print nice things.
Secrets themselves are often regarded as sensitive information, and often also categorized in the highest classifications for information protection. This stuff isn't just a game, and in my experience it's not how law enforcement authorities or courts see things.

Just as if you made a copy of the physical key for a business's real-world premises, you could well find yourself in trouble. Even if you never "use" it.

Very cool to see someone tackling a small OS for RISC-V.

Shameless plug: I've written hobby OS (well, a kernel actually) in Nim for x86-64[0] and it's all documented as well. I put its development on hold until I create a JetBrains plugin for Nim (in heavy development right now).

We're actually in a the same boat, as I've recently fired up KiCAD for the first time. Keep in mind, I did not go to school for this type of stuff, but yes, I feel illiterate and like I'm missing all sorts of info. You're not alone in that.

But guess what? Because of my business experience, I love it. I'm incredibly excited about what the project (and potential final product) will be. So, I've been reading anything and everything, testing, exploring, learning. Can you believe we have the access to do this stuff today? It's incredible.

This is how the world works. For example, a few weeks back, I was under the hood of a steam-powered car, analyzing, looking, thinking about how they figured out some of the things they had figured out. What were they thinking historically? How did they feel about this design decision? Who taught them?

Moral of the story: Degrees don't teach this drive; you must nurture it. It's normal to feel lost at sea.
I remember talking to a mountain biker who seemed proud of his injuries including concussions, breaking his shoulder twice, etc.
Sure, but GP's claim was that the statement "Notably the Steam Machines didn't have any equivalent to Proton" is false.
I think we will see a small business "renaissance" of sorts:

- many local small business owners are aging baby boomers, they will be exiting + retiring; that's opportunity to back-fill

- the culture among younger people (millennial and younger) seems to be more focused on employment over entrepreneurship; they seem to prefer the safety of stable employment over taking risk on their own (I have no data backing this, just anecdotal experience...but I think its bc of student loans)

- stable employment with a big company is not so stable anymore, most of human history leans entrepreneurial, big corps are recent phenomenon

I could keep going but I will stop there.

If you are demanding or particular about your gaming experience, then Linux isn't there yet. Compatibility with the very latest AAA titles can sometimes trail behind Windows, anticheat for competitive multiplayer often blocks out Linux compatibility, and you need to adapt to different tools for customizing and surrounding your gaming experience if you're so inclined.

What I'm highlighting if you just want to sit down to play some damn games already in your library, especially on a dedicated "console" like a handheld or HTPC, then the Linux experience is superior to Windows. And I expect that there's a sizable audience for that.

If we had not regulated nuclear out of our system we would be almost completely carbon-free at this point.

https://www.nixonfoundation.org/2016/10/26948/

>Unfortunately, due to a failure to marshal significant public support for the nuclear side of the energy plan and the untimely occurrence of Watergate, the nuclear plans went largely unfulfilled after 1974.

What's not said in this article is that the NRC was created soon after this and it basically squashed all future developments.

The same thing is happening in Germany, they shut down their nuclear reactors and now they have the highest energy prices in Europe and are reliant on Russia.

France is leading the way with nuclear, everyone should copy them.

That 4 years number sounds like an ass pull. What’s your source? Everyone is different and some of those skills come naturally to some people, so I sincerely doubt that number is even close to universal.

Honestly, your whole suggestion seems straight out of one of those generic self-help scams that ignore the realities of life and always blame the user: “You gotta do the thing. If you’re not successful it’s because you didn’t want it enough, not because we’re dispelling the same dated advice to everyone”.

Note I don’t think that’s what you’re doing, you’re not selling anything. I’m just saying I question the helpfulness and quality of the advice.

Where is your actual evidence puberty blockers are reversible? They are male. Their reproductive systems are organized around creating sperm not eggs. HRT does not change a male into a female. There are myriad aspects of biology that still makes them male and confers all such advantages in athletics. This is just reality.
At the risk of defending Nintendo, the software update times on the Switch are notably zippy. I don't think I've ever had it take more than 10 seconds (including the reboot after). That's laudable, and nowhere in the ballpark of, say, Apple, where I once went to lunch and came back to find my laptop still installing updates.
If you want to understand (Subtractive) synthesis. The best way is to get copy of VCV rack and follow a few tutorials. If you patch one subtractive mono synth voice once, you understand 80% of all subtractive synth architecture moving forward.

https://vcvrack.com (open source and wonderful)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V35OhojjqDs <- your first tutorial

Happy patching :)

There's a bunch of other really interesting types of synthesis and you can explore them using the above software

- Frequency/phase modulation synthesis
- Vector synthesis
- physical modeling/Karplus strong
- Additive synthesis
- Eastcoast (subtractive)
- Westcoast (waveshaping/LP gates)
Anyone go to cat head's parties in the early 90's. There were cat's head spray painted on the sidewalk leading to abandoned warehouses on the Brooklyn waterfront. The legend was they were worlwide. Some friend of mine knew to follow them.
RSA-1024 seems to be about 8 million times better than RSA-512, so cracking that would be $64 million in compute.

Although when designing audio solutions for large venues, the further back a speaker stack is, the more you'll likely want to add a delay to it so that the sound hits at the same time as the sound from speakers closer to the stage - otherwise it can sound awful (like a strange echo): https://www.prosoundweb.com/why-wait-the-where-how-why-of-de...

So yes, for monitoring, or linking two far away places with near zero latency audio, but not for connecting speaker stacks in a venue :)

Distribution is one of the costs. For discussion lets call it 10% of your power bill (someone can find real numbers, but that will work if like me you are too lazy to look it up). However there are other costs - you pay to maintain the backup systems that are not in use. I know of a generator installed in 1920 connected to a coal boiler built in 1880 - this horribly inefficient system (by modern standards) takes about 12 hours to turn on when needed - but gets regular maintenance including pressure testing just to be sure it works for the one time every 5 years when all the other backup systems are not enough - that is not free and you pay for the costs even though you rarely get power from it. (well you probably live in a different part of the world and so could not get power from it - but there is something like it that you are paying for)

Yes a tram. "was shaking" "could have killed me" "save my life".

I also think this was an overreaction. Maybe even some other Tesla driver used this as a shortcut so it learned from this cheat.
Maybe we should do a South Park with their TrollTrace plotline and make the data publicly available (maybe purposefully exclude the last 6-12 months of data for a little bit of secrecy), and watch the public rage while they can look up the movements of everyone they know!

Though I don’t think that would even work, as people’s anger would be directed at the public directory rather then the source of the data and how it was gathered…

(Edit: Don’t actually do this, as it could / probably will, do more harm than good. But until the majority of people get angry at such data collection, it will just continue to happen)
Let's say you local coffee shop is featured in a local news piece and the blithe owner happened to get photographed holding the store key. That's now easy to clone from public information. Would you be comfortable actually doing it? Reporting the issue is fine - "Hey you should rekey your locks!".

Actually making a clone of the key, and then showing "hey it fits" will get you more traction more quickly ... but there's also plenty of Police Departments who might well arrest you for that.
As someone who played and still loves hockey, I wouldn't put hockey that high up on the list of sports that result in spinal cord injuries compared to other contact sports.

Spinal cord injuries absolutely happen, but I can think of plenty of sports that would have a higher incident e.g., surfing, skateboarding, motocross, horseback riding, gymnastics, cheer leading, etc..

It is a very big project and has a big potential for the classic double-free, use-after-free, null-dereferencing, one-off index errors etc. which they designed Rust to get rid of in the first place. I believe they had such a bug some months ago and that it was quite serious.

Do you have a source that shows that shutting down nuclear power plants has in any way influenced German power import? I'd doubt that. Power is imported when it is cheaper to import it than produce it ourselves (there has not been a situation yet where Germany couldn't meet it's own demand).
