I am also having a hard time with this.

Taking all our services down this hard would require enormous efforts in coordination, potentially months of preparation to make sure it would execute satisfactory.

I think occam must be at work here. There must be some simpler reason why this attack is such a disaster.

Yeah, Id also accept all my data zeroed instead of financing hackers.

It still puzzles me greatly how this ransomware has such a huge impact. How Does it allow hacking and encrypting the db servers?

Ugh.. This hits too close to home.

I use standard-notes for its focus on zero knowledge design and simple markdown plus potential economic viability.

Thanks for warning, i need my data plan

When Google Cloud went down a few years ago, they were unable to access internal monitoring because the bad bgp change overloaded their networks if i remember correctly.

This is pretty cool!

VPN gives a little extra layer against vulnerabilities in any packages your internal services depend on.

Login with Facebook tremendously reduces friction on signup. We get a verified email that we can trust, the name of the customer and a profile photo that automatically renews. But even more important we dont need to ask for a password.

We can also ask for more, such as phone number (we dont ask).

I wont herald Signal as epitome og UX, but I have never seen most of these issues on iOS. My biggest complaint now is general slowness/sluggish and the fact that sometimes messages will still arrive out of order...

I would also donate 25-50$ to this, but once or twice. No recurring please

Well, the Mac trackpad is an absolute joy to use..

The quality of trackpads outside of Macs used to annoy me to no end, but my 2018 zenbook with libinput isn't that bad. It's like 80% of the way there for a quarter of the price.

I think its too dismissive to claim it will have 0 practical applications. Often this type of fundamental research take decades to result in something useful in an unexpected way. We can only go where the roads lead us, who are we to dismiss the roads not taken.

I am with you on this. Its been years since I had an issue with git, and branching strategies are not that hard. In smaller teams most solution that show up are also usable. I would argue git is actually a fantastic tool that gives immense value year after year for no cost compared to any other alternative. There is a learning curve though.

Thanks for explaining this better than I could.

I have seen such customizations go badly soooo many times..

This looks like incredible work. Great job.

We also had to do this to get enough background time. I can honestly say we don't track you. customers also get mad when the app intermittent stops doing its job.

I just hope the app review team doesn't throw us out again.

You are of course correct, I couldn't find the source anymore and I remembered incorrectly.

I was wrong, it was 43 times.

Paper bags are roughly 250 times worse than a plastic bag. Even worse if you color it.

Paper bags are incredibly inefficient, and requires large swaths of forest.

Plastic bags are incredibly resource efficient, but you must keep it from ever getting into nature.

They did a comparison to cloth bags here. you have to use a colored clothbag about 30.000 times before you break even with a plastic bag. a non colored cloth bag was about 23.000 uses. Plastic bags are super efficient with regards to resource consumption, but you must never leave them in nature. There is also very little to gain from recycling plastic bags, so you would ideally burn them somewhere close to usage, and use the heat for heating.

I have preferred this method myself when dealing with simple calls (calls that need no further external information). jumping through 7 files just to find the API request that gets shipped is slightly insane.

but how do you put the result back in the store? how about displaying a default failure screen?

Yes it is reasonable, but it should be subject to CORS rules as any address.

Yes, sorry I was imprecise. I meant reusing IVs for equal blocks only, to be able to see duplicate data.

The problem with the AI is that it is mechanically perfect with perfect accuracy every time. The AI never misclicks, even when under pressure.

if you encrypt in a way that enables the service to do dedupe, you are either reusing IVs and encryption keys across items (bad) and leaking information that two items are the same item.

When said scientists want to build some new equipment, they get involved and they use professionals. When said scientists need to build their new lab, they hire professionals. When they need code for their research projects they?

I'm 29 and can barely remember the code I wrote last week.

Comments don't get updated when the requirements for the code change, more often than not end up as misleading.

The only thing worth commenting are actual libraries that are maintained, and 'magic values'.
