It definitely is but conveniently you can't prove it and they can't prove otherwise.

Most of the social "science" are a scam, but since it gives peoples some "work" it keeps going. In reality it's only value extraction and they are basically parasites of the common people but since the people in that field have a lot of power ("educated", often female, etc) it keeps going.
It's like the HR department; you would rather not have them but since there are laws around it you pay the racket and move on, not other way.
(author here) That's correct. The algorithm preserves topology because no new vertices or indices are created. It can result in self intersecting meshes, but one way that this can be used is what Substance Modeler does, which is continuously remesh.
Native AOT compilation is definitely not the same as self-contained package. With that logic, every Docker container could be considered AOT compiled static executable.
You can have situations like

https://github.com/bsenftner/kvs/blob/master/kvs/kvs.cpp#L72...

where it's then not clear why there is no call to

`kv.m_binarySize = byte_size`

after calling

`kv.mp_binaryData = (uint8_t)malloc( sizeof(uint8_t) byte_size );`

because it seems like `kv.mp_binaryData` will now have a different size than it had before. That is, there will be a mismatch. Though it should not affect the `free` call.

I hope I'm missing something because I just dealt with the code for around 5 minutes.
Loanwords are a different thing, IMHO - even those where some language would take the root and localize the verbing part. In loanwords, you're still actually lending a "real" word from English, one you'd find in an English dictionary. That's a distinct thing from ad-hoc inventing new words that are not in the dictionary and not intended to end up in one - words meant to exist for the duration of a conversation or some engagement, or within the scope of some work.

It is my impression that introducing such ad-hoc words in English is something people wouldn't bat an eye on, while in other languages/cultures I'm familiar with, it'd be something Serious that you probably shouldn't do unless absolutely necessary.
Make sense. Nowadays, for a new project, I would like to use Caddy where I would otherwise use Apache or nginx, but I would be even more inclined to use a cloud provider's load balancer.
Makes sense. Good to know that API has some serious (undocumented?) drawbacks :)

Really? We really don't do that anymore. We have a strong XDR (Extended Detection and Response), basically Antivirus + behavioural analysis + SIEM integration. A managed password manager, and even detection for such behaviour of stored passwords in plain text or office files (through Microsoft Purview DLP). XDR is an evolution of EDR (Endpoint Detection and Response) with a bit more in terms of data sources added (and a lot of marketing "Our <..>DR is better than yours because we have a cooler letter" :P

Basically an XDR looks not only at malware but also at potentially malicious actions. This is a much more complete view because not every malicious action is triggered by malware. It can also be simply a user (and AI automation/control will be a new thing there). Big names in this are Crowdstrike (yes that one that killed half the enterprises), SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender for Endpoint (not to be confused with the normal consumer defender). An XDR will notice when a PC is doing a port scan, when a process is trying to gain root rights, when significant numbers of files are suddenly rewritten. It will immediately kill the process and/or trigger a ticket to the SOC (Security Operations Center). Who can take global actions on all endpoints to immediately kill the malware everywhere. It's pretty cool, you can trace back the entire process history, what launched what, what was were the system call parameters etc.

Big companies really have this stuff figured out. Unfortunately exfiltration is harder to detect if the malicious actor is doing it through a cloud service that the company also subscribes to.

If a company doesn't know what XDR is they are probably < 100 employees.

My wife loves Alexa devices and we have two at home. Knowing I would loose the privacy argument with her, I did the next best thing and setup a pi-hole. With that pi-hole I discovered that Alexa devices send one request to answer your question and another one to Amazon analytics and it was pretty easy to allow one but block the other.

Though I'll be honest, there's really no way of knowing if they are sending analytics data with the "main" payload and I suspect they are, so I'm not entirely sure how good my method is.
First eight bytes of the file:

0xDC 0xDF X X x x (0x01 0x00 | 0x00 0x01)

0xDC 0xDF are bytes with the high bit set. Together with the next two bytes, they form a four-byte sequence that cannot appear in any valid ASCII, UTF-8, Corrected UTF-8, or UTF-16 (regardless of endianness) text document. This is not a perfectly bulletproof declaration that the file does not contain text, but it should be strong enough except maybe for formats like PDF that can't decide if they're structured text or binary.

X X x x: Four ASCII alphanumeric characters naming your file format. Make them clearly related to your recommended file name extension. I'm giving you four characters because we're running out of three-letter acronyms. If you don't need four characters, pad at the end with 0x1A (aka ^Z).

The first two of these (the uppercase Xes) must not have their high bits set, lest the "this is not text" declaration be weakened. For the other two (lowercase xes), use of ASCII alphanumerics is just a strong recommendation.

0x01 0x00 or 0x00 0x01: This is to be understood as a 16-bit unsigned integer in your choice of little- or big-endian order. It serves three functions. In descending order of importance:

It includes a zero byte, reinforcing the declaration that this is not a text file.

It demonstrates which byte ordering will be used throughout the file. It does not matter which order you choose, but you need to consciously choose either big- or little-endian and then use that byte order consistently throughout the file. Yes, I have seen cases where people didn't do that.

It's an escape hatch. If one day you discover that you need to alter the structure of the rest of the file in a totally incompatible way, and yet it is still meaningfully the same format, so you don't want to change the name characters, you can change the 0x01 to 0x02. We both hope that day will never come, but we both know it might.

All according to the very next post in the thread, which people who actually read it will have found. https://hackers.town/@zwol/114155807716413069
Most of the Pine64 range is designed for developers/tinkerers rather than end-users. This is great for people who want to play around with RISC-V hardware, but not so much for general users who'd be better off with a typical ARM powered tablet.

Your link to Chimera Linux actually illustrates the point of this kind of product - a pinetab is a cheap way to get your hands on easily usable hardware and port your favourite distro or software to it.

I'd also add that RISC-V performance isn't on par with ARM chips yet. The reason that manufacturers would want to use them has more to do with economics - no need to pay ARM for using their processors.
When you create an EBS volume from a snapshot, the content is streamed in from S3 on a pull-through basis. You can enable FSR which creates the EBS volume with all the data up front, but it is an extra cost option.

Yea, but does the kernel then also do certificate validation for you? Will you pin certs via setsockopt? I think QUIC and TLS are wide enough attack surfaces to warrant isolation from the kernel.
It’ll be interesting to see if these programs can continue with the shifting funding landscape in higher education. With government money no longer being a guarantee I could see a lot of places stepping back from these kind of programs.
> Sure there exists a theoretical pm tool that is a superset of a project tracker that could be made to work by not using features but linear is certainly not that.

Well, to clarify, then, I think that's exactly what the GP was asking: "what's missing from Linear to make it a superset of a project tracker — where there's some particular view you could point your PMs to and tell them to use that view as the project tracker?"

That being said. While I've never used either myself (my only experience with PM tools is with Trello and ClickUp.) I get the impression that the answer to that question is something like the following:

> Pivotal is a project tracker. A project tracker — at least in Pivotal's case — can be understood to be a highly opinionated version of a kanban-board tool, which encodes a lot of domain-knowledge about how an Agile process is supposed to be done. Doing your project management through a project-tracker tool, thus constrains your project-management process to follow best principles that keep your project from falling into certain common failure modes.

> Linear isn't opinionated. Rather, it's a Jira-like "describe how your company's workflow should into the app one CRUD object at a time" tool. Linear might have a kanban-like UI in it somewhere, but that UI doesn't "think of itself" as being "for" Agile; it's "for" whatever the org wants to use it for.

> The axis on which Pivotal can be considered a better workflow tool vs. a plain virtual-kanban-board like Trello, is the same axis on which an online board game can be considered a better "gameplay experience" than a plain virtual-shared-tabletop app where you've loaded in the assets of that board game: the Pivotal, like the online board game, enforces the rules you want to be playing by.

> Linear does not enforce any kind of rules by default; and although it's possible to "teach" it some kinds of rules (mostly in the relationships between types-of-nodes), it's impossible to encode the sort of constraint-type rules that an Agile process is built on, into it. Thus, on the axis on which Pivotal's goodness is measured, Linear offers nothing.

> Disgusting behaviour, as expected from the publishing industry I suppose. This "EDRLab" outfit appears to be little more than a non-profit front for Hachette.

The quoted block is indeed disgusting, but it gets even weirder in the context of the full discussion, where the correspondent seems to be trying some sort of intellectual blackmail on the author of this article, saying that, as long as nobody talks about its deficiencies, DRM can be kept weak and inefficient—and so trying to blame increasingly cumbersome DRM on the people who want to access their material, rather than on the publishers. For example, with a nice and patronizing start:

> You've found a way to hack LCP using Thorium. Bravo! We certainly didn't sufficiently protect the system, we are already working on that. … If the DRM does not succeed, harder DRMs (for users) will be tested. I let you think about that aspect

These can apparently run as RISC-V dualcore too; it's selected at boot-time (!!).
I did not realize that this is a thing.

Was hoping for big improvements for the ADC, but its still limited to 500k/s (they did give it 4 more channels, though, which is nice).
Another one I ran into was file and space fragmentation. With certain workloads you can generate an awful lot of fragmentation (in this case I was reading and writing the same massive file set over and over with small changes) and the drive performed appalling afterward a year of this workload. I fixed it by deleting all the files and trimming and replacing all the files but a defragmentation software also works. Its not anywhere near the problem it was with HDDs but its worth looking into at some point because Windows does not perform well when the files are very fragmented regardless of what the theoretical situation is meant to be.
No, that's how the feature is supposed to work.

You design an abstraction which is unsafe inside, and exposes a safe API to users. That is really how unsafe it meant to be used.

Of course the standard library uses unsafe. This is where you want unsafe to be, not in random user code. That's what it was made for.
Google's needs are not most people's needs, "wrong" for them is different than "wrong" for general users.
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing this.
The original question did ask about creating executables like Go, which means a single file you can run as is, so it was fair to mention AOT. For servers etc you usually don't want the AOT version, so then it doesn't matter which platform you develop on, but it's not always just like Go when you want to ship little applications.
If you're in any of these categories, especially retired, you're most likely invested in mutual funds or ETFs of which Cisco probably makes up a very small fraction.
> we leave the mic off on both devices

How is this controlled? They wouldn't at all be the first devices that deceitfully redefine 'off', or in their documentation say 'off, except ...', or just don't bother to implement it carefully because it's not a priority.

Generally, I would trust something that physically turns it off - a physical switch that didn't just trigger software, but broke the circuit to the mic.

My mistake. I thought your comment about being a skeptic was referring to the language itself.

It sounds like you had a good experience with the rust community. I'm glad it worked for you. But from what I've seen, it's not for me.
I have seen an at least 10x variance in how people document their work in tickets. So 1 or 2 cents per "story" for some becomes 10 to 20 cents per "story" for others.

For me that just feels like a weird external factor. If it doens't bother you more power to you.

.NET suffers from the long lasting reputational taint of Microsoft. It was seen as the sworn enemy of open source and Linux, and for good reason.

Today’s MS is not what it was back then. But long memories are not a bad thing, really. If .NET suffers a bit from some unfair perception, perhaps that can remind MS and others what happens when you take an aggressively adversarial approach.
If you think this skit is promoting homophobia you need to work on your media literacy. If anything it's lampooning homophobia. The entire situation is portrayed as being absurdly focused on the witness' (alleged) sexual orientation.

Just because you portray something doesn't mean you endorse it. Alan Howard portrays the ring in the Lord of the Rings, That does not make him (or the movie) evil incarnate. Similarly Stephen Fry portrays a barrister with a weird obsession with lesbianism, that does not make him (or the skit) homophobic.

An unaddressed grey area is situations where elderly patients experiencing this delerium retain legal control of their affairs. I've seen various elderly people go in-and-out of hospitals and descend into cognitiive decline, and yet institutions still hold them responsible for managing assets and liabilities; as well as life-changing decisions that affect both them but also their care takers. The grey area gives individuals and their families the flexibility to make the best choices, but the opposite also occurs. I've seen people with dimentia and alzhimers lose fortunes because society allowed them to remain in control instead of transferring power of attorney to anyone who could have helped.
But because they had an existing body of code that was not class based, it would be more of a re-write (C#) versus a refactor (Go).

Nice they’re expanding it to include more people. When I was looking at applying to colleges one of the major themes I saw about going to ivy schools is culture differences.

> Something like 1% of HTTP hits pose some risk of spam or fraud

It doesn't matter if it's a tiny percentage of requests that are spam/fraud. The only thing that matters is the absolute amount, and that's massive.

> Static file serving is very difficult to DDoS

No it's not, and most pages aren't particularly static. They're hitting all sorts of databases and caches and stores.

> generally the DoS actor has to pay more than the victim website

No, generally the DDoS actor pays very little, because they're using bots infecting other people's devices. The bandwidth is free because it's stolen.

> be weighing "a thousand signals" to decide which version of the truth

Nobody said anything about "truth". You're either blocked or you're not. Page content isn't changing.

Yes, spam and fraud and abuse prevention does require weighing a thousand signals. It always has. It sucks, but the world is an adversarial place, and the internet wasn't designed with that in mind.

As a solo-founder I really appreciate the pricing model. Too many tools have a pricing "cliff" that makes it unusable for my needs. On top of freelancing/similar my side-business is very "bursty" which means free/low tier plans are too small for my busy weeks and the paid tiers are either too expensive to keep year-round but I'd gladly pay for my usage.

That said, my go-to project management tool has always been "whatever my current company is using". It lowers the cognitive overhead and has some nice benefits for both my day job and my side business (being more knowledgeable of the tool and how to use it).
I also purchased the book specifically because Facebook/Meta has been trying so hard to bury it. It is worth finding out what FB/Meta/Zuckerberg want so badly to be concealed.
Yes, but the difference between freeware and FOSS is rights to the source code. Most users today would only want to exercise freedom 0, so FOSS really isn't offering them anything that appealing. And in fact, freeware is more popular than ever today.
