Of course these days the mega-corp walled garden email providers don't really follow standards like IMAP. IMAP will not work with, say, Google's gmail or Microsoft office365, or AT&T ISP email, etc, etc. They have each implemented their own proprietery out-of-band authentication system that only works over HTTPS using the OAuth2.0 toolkit to build it. Any email client that does not explicitly design for each particular OAuth2.0 implementation (each megacorp's is slightly different) will not be able to connect over IMAP (unless they login via HTTPS using a web browser and set up "app passwords" for google, or similar for others).
If the US withholds parts or services to European countries, that would certainly be an interesting twist, considering the Dutch government used this arrangement as a reason why they couldn't withhold parts to Israel despite the ongoing genocide. Had Netherland decided otherwise, the US might use that as a precendent. Or maybe they'll just set the precedent regardless.
Seems like this is the true meaning of "american exceptionalism".

If you are in a developing country and making $500-$1000 a month doing entry level coding work then $200 is crazy. On the other hand, your employment at this point is entirely dependent on your employer having no idea what is going on, or being really nice to you. I've also heard complaints from people, in the United States, about not wanting to pay $20 a month for ChatGPT. If the work you are doing is that low value, you probably shouldn't be on a computer at all.
It’s been 100 years. Can you find something that happened in this century? With people who are alive today?
I guess his point is that these bugs get found and patches are available before most people have to worry about it, because people don't burn zero day exploits unless it is very likely to net them more than the price of a zero day. But the people who handle enough value that they are worth a zero day still often use the same kernel, so they have an interest in paying to secure it. And separately, the people willing to burn a zero day are likely to be more careful in maintaining their access undetected, sometimes inserting evidence ahead of an investigation to indicate a different compromise route to preserve their zero day and potentially their access. And even if we are finding all these UB vulnerabilities before they get used, that is a giant cost we don't have to pay in new projects of we start them with something like rust. The infamous learning curve isn't a thing of you are coming from modern c++. I have never come across someone coming from c++ that didn't take to it immediately. Modern c might be a different story but I doubt it. Rewriting things should be reserved for codebases that are small, high risk, producing lots of vulnerabilities, or some combination of those. Unless someone just wants to do it for fun.

I don't mind the existence of baggable handhelds. I own both a Switch and a Steam Deck, and the Steam Deck won't even fit in the oversized pockets of cargo shorts. But I wish there were room in the market for both baggables and pocketables[0]. I'd 100% buy a scaled-down Steam Deck that is roughly 3DS XL-sized.[1]

[0] For a while Nintendo was claiming that the Switch wasn't their new portable console, it was just a console that happened to be portable. There would still be a successor to the 3DS at some point. I guess you could argue that's the Switch Lite, but I still feel a little betrayed to not get a smaller next-gen handheld.

[1] I'm aware there's a flourishing market of mostly Chinese arm64 devices running Android and loaded with emulators for every system you could imagine. But I want an x86 device to play my existing GoG and Steam games.

True enough, but those are technological solutions to a social problem. E.g., if the public transportation is terrible because it's dangerous or you get hassled on it, people don't use it.

The guy sitting in a 4 hour commute every day is doing it for a reason. It's a cost he's willing to pay for some benefit.
> Everyone may pick their language based on their aesthetic preference and attraction to certain features, but we should avoid sweeping statements about software correctness and the best means to achieve it. Once there are costs involved (and all languages that prevent certain classes of bugs exact some cost) the cost/benefit calculus becomes very complex, with lots of variables. Practical software correctness is an extremely complicated topic, and it's rare we can make sweeping universal statements.

Thank you. I feel like this perspective is forever being lost in these discussions -- as if gaining the highest possible level of assurance with respect to security in a critical system were a simple matter of choosing a "safe language" or flipping some switch. Or conversely, avoiding languages that are "unsafe."

It is never this simple. Never. And when engineers start talking this way in particular circumstances, I begin to wonder if they really understand the problem at hand.
My concern is that courts can become corrupted or influenced by those in power, which creates a serious problem. While courts should have the authority to issue sentences—like prison terms—they shouldn’t be the ones deciding who the public is allowed to vote for.

If people want to vote for someone, that’s their democratic right. And if they make a mistake, they’ll learn from the consequences. But the decision should ultimately rest with the voters, not the courts.

The challenge till this is widely supported (caniuse.com currently pegs it at 46% globally [1]) will be using this as a progressive enhancement that does not provide a worse or unusable experience for users with browsers not supporting it yet.

In other words, don’t include critical information or functionality in the new styling that isn’t available in the underlying plain select element! But such is always a good practice anyway.

Very nice to see this taking shape though! Should be a huge improvement over the div monster that custom select box replacements often are. :)

C++ developers worry about all UB, but we don't worry about all of them to the same extent. MITRE's CWE Top 25 [1] lists out-of-bounds write as the second most dangerous weakness, out-of-bounds read as the sixth, and use after free as number eight (null-pointer dereference and integer overflow are at nos. 21 and 23 respectively). All UBs are worrisome, but that's not to say they are equally so. Taking care of out-of-bounds is easier than UAF and at the same time more important. Priorities matter.

Class consciousness is entirely too intellectual and nerdy to ever be popular, you'll never convince someone swayed by bumper stickers to read and thoughtfully consider your 500-word ultra-concise argument for it.

"Vibes" and populism drive voter behavior. Cheap populist messages will always resonate at least as well as even an ultra-simplified "it's all of us versus the owners of capital". Us vs. Them is what populism is, but getting the right Them according to class consciousness is really hard (and it'll constantly be at risk of someone subverting it to something else, probably "the Jews and other child-sacrificing Evil Cultists in their sway" because it's usually that for some stupid fucking reason).

Even Bernie had to settle for the shitty and inaccurate "the 1%" to get even a little traction with class consciousness on a mass scale.

Right now outright conspiratorial thinkers are ascendant and doing the usual thing of being some of the elites (the capitalists) we should all be against, while painting everything as the fault of other elites (how are they differently elite? Well, follow their stupid threads of "evidence" and you always end up at blood libel, truly, it's so consistent that it's boring)
Yeah agreed that there wasn’t much information there.

Having investigated similar password spray attacks, I’m guessing they just looked at the entire set of failed Azure CLI logins from the same ASN (AS6939). Then that activity was distinct enough from usual activity in the tenant to suspect it’s part of the same campaign (no prior logins from AS6939, little to no legitimate use of Azure CLI, or the job profile of the targeted users doesn’t align with usage of Azure CLI).

I think Democrats are doing a disservice by not pushing back harder against Trump’s attacks on judges and his calls for their impeachment. The judiciary is one of the few remaining institutions that can check executive overreach, and defending it should be a top priority.

More broadly, I believe Democrats would gain much more support if they focused on a few key issues—ones that have broad consensus and appeal to independents—and pursued them with laser focus. Instead, they tend to chase after every single distraction Trump throws their way, which only plays into his strategy.
That’s actually up to each state. For example in my home state you can vote once you’ve served your term and any probation.

This seems cool, but I think many people have been burned by smart speakers of various types. If your system does Spotify and Pandora and such then it's going to have a phone app and then if the phone app enshittifies the entire investment in the 'ecosystem' goes to waste. Nobody wants to throw out their speakers because of software updates.

I think a better smart amplifier could be a good product -- and then people can bring their own speakers. Or you can make great wireless speakers and then people can bring their own amplifier. But the moment the speakers and amp become an 'integrated solution' I hear the e-waste bells toll in the distance.

People have been burned by sonos and don't expect their framework laptop to last more than a couple of years. Meanwhile my 25 year old dumb speakers are still going strong.
They worked hard (long) once they entered the workforce. My understanding is that the college was considered as like a bachelor party.

>> some of Bjarne's "facts" are not strictly true, like "US government demands a plan for achieving memory safety by 2026". AFAIK there is no binding rule.

While not binding, the guidance could be viewed as a "very strong recommendation":

If you sell software to government agencies and fail to implement the guidance, but your competitors do implement the guidance it might impact which software is selected for government contracts.
Is this a robust finding? I heard something about this apparent discrepancy a week or so ago, and it was dismissed as probably just an artifact of dodgy classification and the paper's author was a bit of a kook, a computer scientist who was delving into cosmology to find evidence of the simulation hypothesis.
My daughter's school (in the UK, its a 6th Form College, and they are coaches rather than public transport type buses) pays third party to run transport to school. I assume they are free to use those vehicles elsewhere during the day and on non-school days.

That said, only those coming from further away use these - my daughter and others reasonably near use public buses.

About the same study. Again, when kids are not on their phones they do better at school. Period. A ban is just a way to try to get there. If it's not effective because kids skirt the rules, we try something else

I have an idea that you can steal (would be cool if you send me some of the spoils if it moons lol). This might be right up your alley, Google and Apple devs.

Generated voice profiles (you can use "AI" to sell it to your bosses) to narrate text messages in the sender's voice. Many texts are already sent by speech to text, why not carry that voice to the reciever? Simply recording is not ideal due to the background noise and extra bandwidth, so regenerating the speech on the reciever side seems to be the better approach after generating the speech profile from some sample of initial messages.
Distributing later would be Robin-Hooding. Pirating is for personal gain

https://bsky.app/profile/up-8.bsky.social and https://mastodon.social/@UP8

I'm excited that I'm getting paid to do an event next week because that's been one of my goals. I feel like I'm really progressing at understanding event venues to pair up interesting foregrounds with meaningful backgrounds as well as painting events in a strongly positive light when other photographers might do otherwise.

(2) Coding: I have several applications that use arangodb, a document/graph database that unfortunately, like most innovative databases of the 2010s, has a terrible license. I don't feel I can either commercialize or open source these things so I am switching them over to use JSONB support in Postgres. I am building an adaption layer that works like "python-arango"

this is not a complete replacement because I'm not using many features like Pregel or Foxx and in some ways it is more functional because it supports primary keys being integers or uuids. Out of about 50 AQL queries I think there is just 1 that might be challenging to write in SQLAlchemy. It's interesting in that I am triangulating between the implementation being simple, being able to modify my applications if necessary, and also developing the API that I really want in the long term.

> And if an observer moves to a different location, they will still be at the center of the universe (aka light cone).

That doesn't make sense for this particular context though. The direction of "up" of another galaxy doesn't change depending on where you are as an observer...

Then again, it's only two-thirds of the galaxies that have "up" facing us - which isn't that surprising. If something like 99% of their "up" was facing us it would seem more special.
From a non cybersec background, I'm surprised that attackers even bother trying these attacks where each account only gets 2 attempts. To me, the probability of getting a hit feels incredibly, unworkably low, unless there are lots of common passwords being used.

I guess it's like most/all attacks under this category - the high potential payoff on success and near-zero cost to execute keep the EV positive.

Officially proclaiming it part of the Cultural Heritage of your country means you can write letters like this:

Hello, person who controls government funding for the arts! The demoscene is now a UNESCO cultural heritage property in three different countries, including ours. We are a group dedicated to (preserving/documenting/continuing) this wonderful and unique expression of the artistic urge. You should give us a lot of money to keep doing this.

...in much more polite language, and with descriptions of exactly what you'll be doing with that money, of course.

You could apply for a grant big enough for your group to take a year off your day jobs and spend it hacking the hell out of your submission for a major party. You could get a chunk of money to keep your site full of demos running. You could get the state helping to pay the expenses for the party you run.

All of these things obviously have existing ways to pay their expenses or the scene would have died off long ago, but why not add another one?
