That is an acceptable position and you will likely nor require further investigation as long as the criticism remains vague and is offset by positive sentiment. I too love the EU.

What camera do you have? Why can't it autofocus when its not recording?

I believe you, but thats very silly.
Please allow me to be cynical and see here no embarrassment whatsoever. They cashed on this for years and will surely find other ways (and have some already) to further cash on people. It's only one of the schemes which got foiled, and only for a while. Yes, I have zero trust and the presumption is of guilt.
I transitioned to security after working in development. I didn't have to reset back to being on the helpdesk, but any career reset probably won't have you enter at the same level you were at before. I went from being chief technical architect type roles in development to being a security architect.

For me, the transition also took a number of years. I did a Masters degree in security, and started to get more experience in security in my non security role. Then I found a small software company willing to give me a chance as their security guy. I guess for me it took about 4 to 5 years to really complete the transition.
It makes sense, to some degree, that for example some banking apps refuse to run if they detect that the phone has been rooted, or even to go as far as to refuse to run if there are non-Play apps on the phone.

Maybe some apps with DRM media playback do this kind of check too, yes. Haven’t used Android for many years now.

Hopefully iOS stays the way it is where apps don’t get so much info about other apps on device. I prefer it that way.

this seems great. I wonder tho, how do you ensure new columns are masked by default? It seems a safer alternative would be to start with all columns being statically masked and only unveil them selectively.

I guess you can add some CI steps when modifying the db to ensure a give column is allowed or masked, but still, would be nice if this was defaulted the other way around.
I've been doing some research myself for an offline-first project I've been thinking about, so it's great to see more people going in this direction!

A project I recently discovered in this realm is `wa-sqlite`. Yet another sqlite browser web assembly project, but it has VFS adapter examples that introduced me to the OPFS which, at least on a surface level, seems to be faster but more complicated than using indexeddb, and is a whole other avenue the article didn't explore. I'm guessing because it's still new/experimental and they're trying to build their thing yesterday

All countries have tariffs. All tariff systems classify goods in some way. On top of the fact that this is by necessity not ever absolutely accurate even initially, these classifications also lag technological development and consumer behaviour.

If there is one thing the EU has absolutely achieved it is to massively reduce and harmonize tariffs and trade rules, and make the rules less susceptible to the whims of political favor and lobbying of local industry.
> I’ve spent almost two decades in digital-focused roles ... I've often thought about cybersecurity as something I'd like to specialise in

Because to me, cybersecurity reads like "more digital" than "strategy, user research", not less, I'm not sure if I know enough about the poster's motives to help.

But what I can suggest is that the late Ross Andersons' book Security Engineering is a great starting point to get into system security.

BTW, I have enormous respect for people who are transitioning between professional areas, and while it consumes energy it probably will be the source of more energy, best of success for everyone!

Part of the burden of this is on us.

If a digital camera OS is a small embedded system running on a microcontroller it has a fixed cost, and lasts forever, just like the electrical components.

If it’s an instance of chromium running on Ubuntu server or Android, with hundreds of dependencies in your program alone than the cost to stop it from bricking is effectively infinite. (I’m even aware of medical surgery devices using Electron these days)

> React will be normalizing tight coupling, especially when combined with Tailwind.

You're skipping the history of why it came to be.

When I started writing HTML, you needed excellently structured CSS because there were no components. So you needed .sidebar, .topbar, .button.ok etc. This was extremely hard to get right. We cannot see the future, and we cannot know what an application will become - figuring out a globally scoped css hierarchy was difficult even for very experienced developers.

Post 2010 (with frameworks like Backbone.js and Angular), people started splitting apps into components. This meant that the smallest unit of reusable design could be a component, instead of CSS classes and JS functions. Adoption of self-contained styling in components increased gradually after Bootstrap brought in utility classes, CSS-in-JS picked up, and Tailwind made it easier.

It made total sense of course, because the component is what you want to re-use. To address your point directly, tight coupling within a component is ok - maybe even a good thing. We did not get there without trying other ideas, we tried them for twenty years.
100% to Security Engineering. That book was what actually made me seriously consider working in security for the first time.
Or my shirt that has a tiny, useless pocket on the inside of my shirt (down where it might often be tucked inside of your waistband.) It has a tag with a picture of sunglasses on it, and a reasonably sized pair of sunglasses might just tenuously perch inside.

This makes it a jacket, and jackets are taxed at a lower rate than shirts.

The same shenanigans more or less work for most types of taxation. There’s always an angle to reduce or even eliminate taxes, unless you work on salary or for wages. It’s clear who the system is built for lol.
Matter of definition. Stuff on most porn sites is at least consensual.

My point is: Seriously and honestly talk to a kid these days. Or read detailed reports on where the suicide rates in young peoples are sourced in.

Even porn where whatever a granny dressed up as a horse is pissing into someone else's mouth. Might be very troubling to a teen trying to understand their sexuality. Surely not a good start as sex ed.

But that's still a far cry from kids seeing people killing each other FOR REAL.

Talk to the kids. Porn is nowhere near the Top 10 of what's causing their anxieties and depressions.

Desaturation methods are tricky as well. So is the image information transformation on it's way to the hardware and display hardware characteristics themselves.

Accurate color reproduction on uncalibrated consumer devices is just wishful thinking and will not be fixed in the forseeable future.

So unless you work in a color controlled and calibrated environment it's hard to make any reliable statements about perception.

I simply would not worry too much about optimizing perceptual color spaces at this point.

> I've often thought about cybersecurity as something I'd like to specialise in

Well I think these kind of thoughts are quite common. IMO it is helpful to realize that your thinking (rather dreaming) about doing cybersecurity may have very little to do with what it would actually feel like to acquire the necessary skills and find a gig (or some gigs).

Your choices are rather simple:

1. Dive straight in headfirst. Quit or change your job to part-time and commit to intense training in cybersecurity (e.g. enrolling in structured training program of some kind).

2. Find time, energy and motivation to learn/practice without changing your life radically or committing to anything. If you are seriously interested in something you'd be naturally drawn to do this thing. After a few months of doing so you will have a much better idea what switching careers would feel like.

3. Keep doing whatever your doing realizing your ideas and feelings are completely normal and valid but may have little to do with cybersecurity or your career. Try to understand what is actually missing in your life and how you can address the root cause.

I have some experience with the 'Masking Views' functionality. If you are going to rely on it and specifically in a Rails app, know that it is against conventions and thus is generally inconvenient. This may be the same with any other framework that features DB schema migrations.

More specifically the integration of this functionality at a fortunately ex-employer was purposefully kept away from the dev team (no motivation was offered, however I suspect that some sort of segmentation was sought after) and thus did not take into account that tables with PII did in fact still need their schema changed from time to time.

This lead to the anonymizer extension, together with the confidential views to only be installed on production DB instances with dev, test, and staging instances running vanilla postgres. With this, the possibility to catch DB migration issues related to the confidential views was pushed out to the release itself. This lead to numerous failed releases which involved having the ops team intervene, manually remove the views for the duration of the release, then manually re-create them.

So,

If you plan to use this extension, and specifically its views, make sure you have it set up in the exactly same way on all environments. Also make sure that its initialisation and view creation are part of your framework's DB migrations so that they are documented and easy to precisely reproduce on new environments.
I love models on a budget. These are the ones that really make us think what we're doing and bring out new ideas.

USB can do just about anything. Video out is one possibility. But HDMI can already do that.

It doesn't make sense to expect the manufacturer to provide a free app to make USB do something you can already do over HDMI, and for which HDMI is intended.

I think there is some requirement of a sort of good faith in the popups. What you describe is essentially deceptive behavior, and in a good legal system that should be seen as circumventing the law so itself actionable.

Obliging clients to answer multiple popups will irritate them and drive them elsewhere.

This sort of tracking is considered normal in the USA but not everywhere else.

I'm working on AI assistant in Python notebook. It aims to help with data science tasks. I'm not using it to do a full analysis. It will fail. What I ask is to create a code snippet for my next step in the analysis. Many times I need to manually change the code, but it is fine because LLM speed-up my coding a lot. And it is really fantastic in writing matplotlib code for visualization. I don't remember all matplotlib syntax to change axis labels, add annotations or change style, and LLM really can handle it good, in impressive speed.
That's what "aggregated" is for.
From my personal experience in the UK, a few annec-data points:

A friend owns a Land Rover with such a notoriously bad engine that insurers refuse to insure it. Land Rover had to make their own car insurance [1].

Another friend owns an electric car that is becoming increasingly uninsurable. I'm told that due to the battery, any significant collision defaults to a complete destruction of the vehicle and not a repair. The second-hand market for electric cars is also terrible, almost no car dealer will touch them in the UK.

Another friend had a car that was insured for £5k, but it was actually worth more. An accident occurred that completely destroyed the car in a fire, and they offered £1.5k. They approached the insurer and said if £1.5k is adequate to replace the vehicle, then they could simply drop a vehicle off instead. Eventually they increased the amount to £2.5k, half of their own estimate, and far less than the vehicles actual worth.

Another friend got into an accident and was permanently injured. They got an initial offer from the other insurance company, which their insurance said to decline as they believed they should expect more. Several years of slow progress, with the original insurer shutting down and passing their work to several other insurers, they were told too much time had elapsed and they should have gone for the original amount. They offered a £50 "good will gesture" and then closed the case. In the UK we have the Financial Ombudsman for insurance disputes [2], which after review decided that £50 was perfectly adequate.

Another friend had their vehicle temporarily ceased by the police (the police were wrong to do so in this case, but you have zero right to appeal). They lost one of the sets of keys for the vehicle and scratched the car. The police told the person there was nothing they could do, and to claim on the insurance. They instead paid for the damage themselves, because the insurance premiums on such a claim would not be worth it. Just tonight I saw something similar where somebody's mirror was damaged in a hit & run, choosing to fix it themselves to avoid insurance premiums increase.

I used to send out parcels and insure them, but several parcels arrived damaged (admitted by the couriers) and they said they needed proof of packaging the items correctly. From therein I would video the packaging of all items and something occurred again, but they made it impossible to actually use their insurance.

My point is this: Getting insurance is becoming increasingly difficult, but also getting the insurer to honour their agreement is becoming increasingly difficult. In the UK you are legally required to have car insurance, but they are clearly robbing people with no recourse to justice. The system is already broken and not fit for purpose.

Here's a question:

Why do you keep having to rely on VCs in the first place? It isn't all plain sailing and at the very least, it is brutish.

Choose wisely if you want to go the VC route.
Just having sum types is not enough: you need some level of type safety and exhaustivity checking in match/switch statements to truly benefit from them.

The problem is that right now, you need to install a Nikon Spyware app on your smartphone if you want geotagged photos.

If the camera had GPS built-in, you could have geo-tagged photos without needing spyware on your phone.

Geotagged photos are extremely useful, there's a reason why they sell GPS dongles for cameras. Cameras really should have that built-in (and I think the top-of-the-line models do)
>To extort

Funny how quickly you reach for hyperbole - if you own a plot of land and people discover some ore or treasure there, are you an "extortioner" for asking a share of its value? So when someone extract value from a piece of your body, it shouldn't apply? (And I am talking about moral, not legal ideals)

I give blood too, and I had some genetic testing done on my cells. I signed a paper to allow further use of both for research. There's a reason we implemented such obligations.

But the mere fact you went hyperbolic - nothing to do with disgust at a *black* *woman* daring to ask for money, huh? There's a lot of words you could have used - "ask for", "request", "demand" but you went straight for "extort" - when there is no constraint, nothing has been done, and the moral failure is clearly on the side of the people who took and used the cells and clearly gained money and social status with them.

> these cameras are capable of exporting high quality video via USB

No, they are not. The USB port is (usually) USB 2.0 and the video output, even though the application might claim 1080p 30 FPS, is a 'digital upscale'[1] from XGA or 720p. That in my view is decidedly not 'high quality'. My monitor has eight times that resolution and more than four times the framerate, totalling more than a 32× increase in bandwidth, and it is from 2021.

If users want high-quality video out from their pro cameras, use a capture card or monitor. That's how it's always been. As another commenter said, this article is rage-bait because the OP has purposely chosen a decidedly poorly-supported way to use their camera's functionality instead of the industry standard.

Someone else was mentioning Oklab color space, and I was wondering what the difference was to darktable UCS.

TL;DR: Oklab is pretty simple, but is already pretty nice as a perceptually uniform color space. Darktable UCS takes Oklab and tries to reduce the residual error.
