some fuzzing tools (libFuzzer for example) leverage LLVM's intermediate representation to provide code-coverage metrics that they feed back into their fuzzing algorithms, increasing test coverage

At what point did someone look at this and think: "Ah yes, this will be good for humanity right now" ?

This is why people stopped putting Arsenic in expensive wallpaper. But I guess people would have considered that worthless junk information in Victorian times too

While this is true, I would bet that the cost is less than hiring a software engineer in the United States

They don't need your charity, they need to be fined

Someone should make sure that The Guardian sees this

This is utterly horrifying, clearly absolutely zero thought was put into security at all.

I'm a game developer and we put more effort into keeping our game fair than this company does in keeping it's users safe. They should be sued into oblivion.

This is lovely, thank you :D

I'm not so sure nobody cares. Because of the apple's M1-3 machines battery life, people already associate ARM chips with power efficiency.

People will always want their laptop/tablet/phone batteries to last longer, and if makers of those devices know that consumers associate ARM with power efficiency, they will want to take advantage of that.

Thank you for this link :)

[reference needed] - I read a study from a few years ago suggesting that H1B Visa hires on average get paid more than hires from inside the US.

If you have no conception of mathematics, do you think you'd get better at solving mathematics problems based on looking at more examples of people who may or may not be solving them correctly?

It's probably bullshit though isn't it.

Does nobody take joy in creating something themselves anymore? Everything has become about the end result, and it's a shame. I'm not sure what we're loosing, but it's something

So. . . It doesn't work

I live in Iceland, and the exact same thing is happening here. If fact it's worse here.

I live in Iceland, and I can assure you this is not the case. However it has got this bad only in the last year or two

Alcohol? What? XD

I imagine Microsoft view the code on their platform as an asset, as they can use it all to train AI that they can sell on. They don't want anyone else doing the same thing with the code on their platform.

I agree, however AWS bandwidth fees are the biggest corporate scam of the decade

Yess! I totally agree. My favorite creator has a patreon and I contribute that way.

But the platform does have their costs to cover, they contribute to discoverability & host all the videos. But yes, creating good quality videos is a full time job that isn't compensated simply by relying on ad money.

Whatever I think about Google, I have a softspot for youtube. Youtube is an amazing resource for society, the amount of knowledge that humanity has stored on their servers is mind boggling. You can learn anything there from DIY Flooring installation to programming to Japanese. I've started entire years long side projects based on being inspired by something I've seen on youtube.

I'm alright watching adds to see that resource remain free. I'm even alright with them not showing me videos if they detect I have my ad blocker on. That seems fair to me.

I use firefox and have ublock origin turned on everywhere else on the web.

I do think though that they should be separated from Google.

There's little chance of volcanic ash being ejected, as this isn't underneath a glacier this time. Although the pressure built up at the site is quite high.

While it may not impact transatlantic flights, if the eruption is large enough it could impact flights from & to Keflavik airport, but again there's little chance of that due to the predicted eruption site being on the east of a ridgeline, which should mean that there will be less lava flowing west.

Well I sure enjoyed that free ride on VC money while it lasted :)

Im not sure why this was voted down. If you disagree feel free to change my mind on the issue

Great list I general, I mostly agree. But.

"Copycat companies & products stifling innovation"

I feel like if as a company you've made something that's easily copyable, then that's your problem.

Successful products are both popular & hard to replicate

Yes. I tackle this by doing most of my browsing on a desktop or laptop, where I have proper ad-blockers installed.

That sounds like a cool project! I started off with NHK Easy but recently moved on to normal NHK news, NHK easy is such a fantastic resource. And having something that shows Furigana to you only when you click on the text sounds great! Right now I'm using Migaku for all my text highlighting / tooltip needs, which is working out great!

I'm learning Japanese and something like this would be beneficial.

> You should be able to tap on a word and get a translation.

This functionality is available already on Kindle though :) you have the option of uploading your own dictionaries to it too.

That, combined with using https://www.clippings.io/ to manage highlighted text, makes the kindle an all round great tool for learning languages from books, or any text really. (you can use calibre to convert into and between most ebook formats)

I look forward to seeing where this goes! I imagine the really difficulty will be applying it to more than just German. Especially when you branch outside of indoeuropean languages

Does anyone know where the "Alkalized Water" fad came from? I honestly don't get it
