This has been going on far longer than any of his financial entanglement with Twitter, unfortunately.

Similar all over Facebook as well - I've reported hundreds of scams using the exact same verbiage and images in sponsored posts, purporting to be Tesla or SpaceX or Amazon or so-forth selling new crypto tokens, using hacked verified pages. Would be trivial to detect if they cared. But beyond simply not caring, they're actually making money.

FWIW, using the `--force-bottle` flag will force homebrew to install its existing pre-built packages into a non-standard path you've configured instead of compiling them from scratch, and I've never run into an issue with a package doing it that way.

I feel like the primary reason it's not cool these days is because significant new developments are rare because it's pretty-much been figured out and it basically just works with minimal downsides, and folks think that light water reactors are all the same

Two things I love about DuckDuckGo:

1) I can search for a handful of specific terms I remember were on a webpage I didn't bookmark, and I can type them in and find what I'm looking for instead of them being "interpreted" by something trying to be too smart

2) Nobody bothers to send them the same DMCA takedowns that they send to Google, so I can find torrents and things I couldn't otherwise

But on most days, Google is easier to find useful stuff when I don't know specifically what I'm looking for or the exact terms to use.

In an ideal world, I'd have Google default to more of how DuckDuckGo seems to work, with a "fuzzy search" option you can use if needed

How do I know your comments aren't being sponsored by a rival YouTube channel?

Seems like Rob Pike and co may have failed

This was also a great read, and the pre-order also included a bunch of goodies including broken glass retrieved from the phone booth

I'm in a volunteer role as CIO for a nonprofit focused on human trafficking, and we're building a new investigations and case-management platform using Svelte/TypeScript/SvelteStrap, Rust/Rocket, and Postgres (and likely Neo4j at some point) because the options out there are either poor or very expensive. Once we have something working and solid, we're going to open-source it and provide it to other groups in similar spaces.

This project is a great opportunity to learn or expand your skills if any of the stack is interesting to you - a big part of our goal is to help build up the technical skills of anyone who wants to dive in somewhere.

We've got a number of investigators on staff and are starting to get a decent feedback loop with them to iterate on what we're building.

We've also got some unique and useful ideas that haven't been implemented before, and if things go well, we really think this could give a kick-in-the-pants to Maltego and Palantir's offerings, amongst others.

If anyone is interested or wants to know more, please let me know!

Another day, another name collision; portmaster is also the name of a FreeBSD ports management utility that's been pretty widely-used for well over a decade now

I mean I agree it’s hurt things but I think the “download big files bad” argument is far from why

Their periodic drive failure reports and whatnot tell me that they probably have a lot of their other shit together as well - always a gamble but I’d rather invest in a company with their product together and the biggest worry of them being acquired versus something flashy

The new push-and-shove router in 6 makes it way easier

A breach of trust, perhaps

Old DRAM/SRAM simply becoming flaky, overheating, physical connection issues, faulty power - there are a ton of reasons these flips happen, and I would think that in most cases they are entirely unnoticed or simply observed as an application crashing, rather than being recognized as directly caused by bit flips.

I think the question is about automatically reporting bugs versus giving the user tools to report bugs in a consistent manner if they choose to.

Fedora's tool does not automatically report the bugs - it just automates the process of allowing the users to do so if they choose, and handles generating stack traces locally or remotely (configurable) and dealing with core dumps and submitting them if so chosen (again configurable), and tries to tie crashes to existing bug reports if you choose to submit the data to prevent devs from being flooded.

It even has some pretty great functionality to help make sure no private/sensitive data leaks in the report, and lets you go through things line-by-line that based on a default or custom list of keywords that may indicate sensitive data (such as passwd, key, etc.) before you finally choose to submit it.

And it's all done on a case-by-case basis, so for each crash you can choose whether to submit any data or not, in case you're running one app that you'd be concerned about leaking sensitive data versus another.

So that's why he stopped responding to me after two or three emails

During the current IC shortage, I've been buying quantities of assembled breakout boards that have chips I need and desoldering them.

In many cases it's actually cheaper than buying the bare ICs at their normal price.

DNA is DNA, be it fragments or full genes, and regardless of the sequence, our bodies are pretty damn good at breaking down DNA we eat without directly incorporating it into our genomes.

Would be pretty interesting if that weren't the case though; quite literally "you are what you eat."

I think the most likely scenario would be the plant expressing a new (or modified) allergenic protein, and it seems like there are some decent methods to look for those things already in use.

Yeah, you're basically scrambling things across an entire genome with no way to account for all of the random and unspecific changes that may occur.

One thing to consider though is that our bodies have evolved to eat all sorts of DNA - fragments and full genes - without directly incorporating it into our own genomes.

I'd personally be more concerned about plants expressing new allergenic proteins or that sort of thing, but it seems like there are already some decent methods in use to detect that.

They’ve been releasing mosquitoes sterilized via various means for decades to do population control - this isn’t as extreme as people make it out to be

At one point, building Go and running its test suite on OpenBSD would replace /dev/null with a standard flat file. After some time, the disk would fill up because everything piped to /dev/null was now being stored on disk. Not to mention the additional I/O happening.

Go already uses libc by default on many platforms. But there are issues - sometimes the libc behaves differently than Go's documented APIs, but this is primarily a documentation issue. Contrariwise, sometimes, Go's native APIs don't behave on systems due to platform-specific implementation bugs.

I think this is a good move overall.

I've personally found Fluentd to be flaky at scale or under heavy load, but it does talk to damn near everything and is pretty simple to stand up

It's an open-source project - a lot of us have already been working for free :)

It's DEFINITELY not about the second amendment.

I would be way more comfortable hacking on that than debugging some arcane undocumented Windows internals
