I wonder if Google should be using signals outside of YouTube to help their ML detection efforts. This example seems like a good one…if an account has a paid YouTube Music account that’s been in good standing for months/years, that see

I’d prefer a model where more content enters the public domain rather than the copyright changing hands. Declare somewhat-short, fixed terms (5 years?) for every bit of content. The first term is free and then subsequent terms increase in c

My comment specifically called it out as a half measure. But that doesn’t mean it’s not worth doing. One of the ways that I’d see a proc macro attack playing out in real life would be to attempt to obtain the API token from cargo login to a

I’m not sure I agree with your fatalistic take on (1). As an example, the proof-of-concept proc macro attack from the article could be addressed by running proc macros in a wasm sandbox. I know there’s been some exploratory work done toward

I’m not sure if I’d consider it hidden, but there’s so much that can be done with the oascript utility. The idea that most GUI apps can be queried or controlled from the command line is super powerful, even if AppleScript is somewhat obtuse

There’s risk in everything…self-hosted forum software run by an open source project also has a potential of going offline, either because hosting becomes onerous/expensive or some sort of database issue. Discord and Github have the exa

I’m a believer in just creating a subreddit. It’s free and easy, many people already have Reddit accounts and it’s a much better forum than the ones that would be self-hosted, including moderation tooling and bot ecosystem. The threaded dis

Eventually, but they’re not very aggressive when it comes to bot detection. Simple IP rotation usually works.

There’s one technique that can be very useful in some circumstances that isn’t mentioned. Put simply, some sites try to block all bots except for those from the major search engines. They don’t want their content scraped, but they want the

The other benefit is that almost all of the Rust ecosystem supports serde, often by way of a feature. So using serde can mean being able to embed a type from a crate in your serializable type or being able to pass your own types to crate fu

As far as 4 goes, ratios are a better solution to the body shop problem. There’s no need to even limit the number of work visas granted so long as the companies that are able to hire foreigners also hire the requisite number of Americans in

I’ve always seen “written in Rust” as relevant for a specific sort of software. Because CVEs are inevitable in C/C++ software and dealing with CVEs has become part of the user interface to that software. Knowing something is “written i

The bigger question, though, should be why are they storing the actual SSN? They can run a credit check and store only the result of the credit check and not all the personal data they had to collect to run the check. Presumably, they do ne

That's only for evasion, I'm talking about avoidance. Most billionaires can easily spend their entire lifetime avoiding taxes. Taking out a low-interest ELOC against unrealized gains is 100% legal and a low-risk transaction for a

The problem, as always, is implementation. Millionaires, especially those on the low end of that spectrum, tend to be fairly easy to tax. Their income sources are mostly regular and standard forms of income tax work pretty well. Billionaire

The other point about unit tests is that they allow you to test far more permutations. At a micro level, you can test more of the possible types of inputs to your function. When you move to integration tests, the permutations multiply to th

One crucial bit of shared context that gets mostly missed…lunch. Not having lunch together has been, IME, the single biggest indicator of a dysfunctional team. The neat thing about lunch is that the conversations are entirely non-directed w

I could see an argument that ads for specific, chess-related products like Chessable courses would be welcome on Lichess, perhaps even as an opt-in so users can choose to support the site. I know Chessable is constantly introducing new cour
