> how can e-mail ever be a secure medium

Email can be secure, it’s just that the big US players can’t or won’t agree to proton like privacy.

I am curious to know what is behind these big US companies being so anti privacy.

People who complain about Xcode have never had to use android studio ;)

Developers should be required to add flags to allow reading/writing to disk. i.e. choose —-insecure-disk—access or —-allow-read=/myapp

I hate the idea of making things a tiny bit more difficult for beginner developers, but what is the alternative?

No it just means they now keep the data only as long as they are required to by law.

Different countries have different laws around financial transaction data retention. US laws allow for audit up to 10 years, so they made it 11 to be safe yes?

There is no way for police to know if the traffic came through tor, or was initiated by the owner of computer/server. It seems reasonable that the police have the right to investigate. If not, anyone could run a tor node to cover up their own criminal activities. Even if you did have logs suggesting it was tor activity, should we trust someone’s claim that the logs are proof that it was someone else?

It would in fact be negligent if the police did not properly investigate the server/computer/house of the device.

Well they do win by intimidating people who want to whistleblow.

Reputable news organisations are only reputable because of the effort made to verify all the claims before publishing. They would need to see examples of the range of types of documents claimed to be in there.

Serde json has 3gb of dependencies once you do a build for debug and a build for release. Use serde on a few active projects and you run out of disk space. I don’t know why json parsing needs 3gb of dependencies.

I’m all for code reuse but Serde for json is a bit of a dogs breakfast when it comes to dependencies. all you need is an exploit in on of those dependencies and half of the rust ecosystem is vulnerable.

Rust should have Jason built in.

An honest assessment would get less clicks and thus less revenue for whoever is publishing on the topic.

You need to lean all in on either the “he’s a toxic male” narrative or the “woke leftists are ruining everything” narrative for your website to make money.

Yes, i don’t understand why anyone would ever enter real personal details into any website unless it was absolutely required for correct functionality of the website. Is it older people having a more overall general trust of institutions? or is it all ages that do this?

You could have saved the people doing this study a lot of time and money. The artistic types have definitely just found the cheapest place to live that is also the best place to live out of all of the cheap options.

What people don’t realise is that the true competition he was trying to enter, was to get on HN by following the correct formula of including the keywords AI, maths, an amount of money, and a novel item (WD-40).

I had always assume it was generally to do with having the highest obesity rate for English speaking developed countries. It is interesting to see other factors thrown into the equation. I am curious, how relevant is (for example) gun violence as a percentage of tje total number? I also had never considered the healthcare system as a factor.

No it is not clearly spelled out. So I am wondering why you think it is clear. Perhaps you are misunderstanding the problem that is being raised? I’m not sure.

Not that I agree with it, the argument about “reverse sexism/racism” is that the judgements are based upon the identity group as a whole not as an individual. When taken in aggregate it is deemed that the smaller group is the one discriminated against.

The answer to this is to argue that it’s incorrect to take an overall statistic and apply it to an individual or smaller organisation in that group.

This article can be rewritten into one line:

“Not all bugs can be found until you deploy to production. So deploying to production can be called ‘testing in production’”

Does this mean he could accidentally get a $1 million credit card bill from google from someone using his key without his permission? (I don’t know how it works with google.)

The problem with making it a crime (it probably already is a crime) is that the blame will be placed on the developer when it probably was not the fault of the developer.

In these types of situations I’ve been in, usually the developers already complained, and it’s really not the fault of the developers.

This creates this weird situation where developers have to do more and more to protect themselves from situations like this.

It doesn’t take more than a few seconds of thinking to realise that google should have made some kind of way for authentication to be transitioned over. Even something as simple as sending out a “transfer” email link or even just an api that squat space could have called to allow customer transfer verification.

When it’s a security review and something is on paper, there is now documentation of potential liability.

When it’s just a random staff member complaining they want to do something that makes it harder to onboard customers, there’s no proof of incompetence, and incompetence can still be blamed on the developers.

I’ve always used “flex” layout for this. I’m not sure what is considered normal.

I am a bit confused by the question. Why wouldn’t all commonly used defacto standards be supported? Or are you talking about obscure standards which no one uses?

Any browser that doesn’t display normal websites normally will never achieve mainstream usage. Who willingly handicaps their software?

> why this is better than just iterating over characters?

The explanation it provides regarding Apache vs Ngnix seemed to me to imply that Apache requires memory allocation to read headers into buffers and Ngnix uses a state machine to avoid memory allocation. Memory allocation is slower than most people realise.

Adobe doesn’t primarily sell products, Adobe primarily rents its products to consumers. Adobe is a literal actual real world example of a rent seeking company.

They are taking it seriously because of the legal liability issues. Their lawyers are clearly worried about the legal implications of their devices being used to track people and things for illegal purposes and want to make sure they have a level of protection against lawsuits from consequences of tracking devices used for illegal purposes. There are already cases of women being stalked using these devices.

It’s really an editor problem. Theoretically there could be a world where all code is in one file, and that’s ok because the editor allows you to effortlessly navigate your code via a variety of means. For some this might be using a keyboard, for others more visually inclined, perhaps in Java there is a browsable visual model.

I’m honestly surprised there doesn’t have exist an editor/language that abstracts away the concept of source code files completely. I assume that there is a good chance that in 50 years time we won’t be coding using collections of text files.

Not gonna lie, this seems like a reasonably generic article. Many water supplies have these problems. News would be if something new or different or interesting happened. Why is this article even here?

(I’m not intending to be dismissive of the problem, i’m simply stating we all know this already, it’s not news to anyone. How about an article on how changes are being made to work towards a solution, either politically or scientifically)

Yep, knowing this problem well, I asked a question the other day and defensively linked to the other similar questions to explain why they were not duplicates. My question was still closed with the claim of it being a duplicate. Last time I’ll ever bother trying to use SO again.

The decision to close my question in spite of it having a clear technical difference made no sense at all. It honestly felt like a bot that just noticed that a lot of the content of the question was related to other questions-a bot without the ability to understand why the question is literally different.

Why is SO like this these days. Is it just because there is such a large history of content in the site, that it’s easy for people who don’t want to think to just mark questions closed?

Yes, but from an education perspective it’s probably hurting more people than it helps to use this terminology. It’s better to label the true source of the problem, rather than reduce the blame to “sugar”

go compiles to binary files and libraries. it’s more like c than Java
