I’m currently on an iPhone 7S. I’ve got a mosh session open to a remote raspberry pi 4B (time looks right), bash shell, “while(sleep 1); do date +%s”, running in Blink SSH while I read HN cause I couldn’t sleep. Have an alarm set for 12:26

This is along the lines of what I’ve been wondering as well. Secure boot is really the only line of defense here and it seems to be highly underutilized, to the point of making this grub issue look less worthy of press releases. And even if

I’ve run into errors compiling the Erlang VM before (just doing some Linux package management). If I casually ran into these types of issues on x86, I’m skeptical this really has anything to do with Apple Silicon, which is ARM after all.

The issue with everything which is not PuTTY is terminal emulation bugs, in my experience. I’ve never experienced one in PuTTY or at least not noticeably. Whereas using SSH in every other Windows terminal (including the newer windows termin

I agree on needing to self-isolate if symptomatic. However, an occasional sneeze or cough is impossible to distinguish from allergies- for me at least. I have to also rely on measuring fever and pay attention to other symptoms. I have to re

This is actually a very important point in lieu of the linked article. In the absence of evidence, we have sometimes have to resort to common sense. The old phrase "say it don't spray it" comes to mind. We've all been th

Sure. But as Brendan Gregg pointed out in his comment - doing this at the level of exec() on a UNIX-like OS is ... a questionable technical choice to say the least. What’s the Linux equivalent of “notarization”? I’m not sure. Of course the

This is what I scrolled all the way down this thread for - to see if anyone thinks this is a good design/security decision on Apples part. I’m trying to understand what the reasoning is for this particular decision and if it actually

Most (in-depth, technical) security books follow this sort of thought process- I think. “A big hunters diary” comes to mind.

Agreed. The entire expertise of programming is based on the willingness to find these sorts of issues and fix them. Over and over, for your entire career.

Looks useful and nice write up.

by drvdevd 6y ago
Yeah this was a great write up and an interesting example of how the reality of the implementation of something can be quite mismatched to expectations. I wouldn’t necessarily call it surprising that the implementation is doing more than on

So, drinking can be problematic, but I highly recommend Karaoke, and ... moderate drinking. You may cringe at the idea, but it’s worked for me in the past and can be a way to enjoy drinks with complete strangers with whom you have nothing e

Guarantee you most legitimate targets of this “surveillance” are quite a few steps ahead. Do drug cartels even care if the DEA has installed cameras everywhere? Doubtful. Being able to do this kind of math is a great example of the simple

I wonder what effect the introduction of artificial nucleotides and engineered proteins will have on “DNA” storage speeds as well...

Blunt and honest. But maybe you forgot: a race to the bottom?

I think there’s also the mistake of assuming having “programming credentials” means you are prepared for every “programming” job. Whereas, in reality, each job is it’s own microcosm of domain knowledge (even if you’re using the same languag

I’m in the same boat ... but at this point I try not to feel bitter about it. I feel that if a company gives me an interview like that I’ll just do it - 0 prep usually - and if it doesn’t work out, well I’m probably dodging a bullet because

This. Science is about sharing knowledge. Any such “dark age” is the opposite of that and thus antithetical to scientific progress.

Psychedelics produce their effects by modulating certain receptors in the brain and body so as to alter perception until they are broken down through metabolism. We don’t yet fully understand exactly how these alterations work objectively.

I believe it’s simply easier to manipulate younger devs into taking lower salaries, in general. So the tech companies (and apparently in China as well), reinforce this ageism.

They’re just being assholes. No seriously - this is all you need to know about their thought processes, because this is all they know about their thought processes.

Especially in a startup, but obviously in established companies as well, this will give you an idea of where it’s all headed. If you’re in a place that’s reliant on good code (and good execution strategies) to exist, and the other people do

It’s been speculated by researchers that the therapeutic effects we are seeing may in fact be due to a physical change - specifically potent anti-inflammatory effects of 5ht-2a agonists, though this has been confirmed more for other psy

In this case it should say “psilocybin” (as it now does) as there are very particular (IMO significant) differences in its’ effects as compared to other 5ht2* agonists, such as LSD. For example it typically has about 1/4 to 1/2 th

IMO the most dystopian part of this technology will be, as usual, the failure modes.

Oh I absolutely agree. Which is why I specified that it should be an open source project. And I wasn’t thinking so much server side code to protect against DDoS but orchestration scripts and test suites to help create some form of redun

Yes it appears, AFAICT, that has been down for quite a while. In fact I’ve never gotten the onion service to load. I’m assuming malicious traffic at some point.
