> I believe what I just wrote applies similarly for security too. Automotive security is nearly an oxymoron. The reasons for that are simple: the difficulty and expense of attacking a vehicle exceeds the bored grad student/curious t

I'm not a medical person. Is there a readable summary of the research on therapeutic uses of magic mushrooms for laypeople?

Pretty cool stuff. I built a dumber version of this a few years ago that just did differential fuzzing between actual cores from different vendors, but without feedback on microarchitectural state it didn't get very far. Good to see pe

Can you go into more detail on this? I assumed almost everyone using systems like this that tout scalability was doing benchmarks.

The bit about everyone experiencing worse mental health outcomes was a bit surprising. Given the size of the mental health crisis I'd hope to see that unpacked more in the final report than it was here.

This would basically be a Nostradamus attack. If we're going around claiming exciting (read: improbable) things about P256 I don't know what stops us from claiming the NSA can generate collisions in the hash functions it also chos

Pretty sure we haven't touched the sun and I find that almost every day.

Golang is pretty good, but you can't really count on gc and frankly goroutines are as much problem as solution. Nice to see a C with useful types and builtins.

I remember when programming was an act of curiosity and vision instead of a job where we feed bloated corporate behemoths another mouthful of our lives. I was poor back then. The sure sign that I've sold my soul is that I'm not su

It's no coincidence that we in the US have massive wealth inequality and are constantly teetering on the edge of political instability.

I really hope you get to write the forward for the next published 3GPP specification.

It turns out the state can restrict what you say, what you do with your body, what you ingest, and all the rest. This is demonstrably true to anyone with a passing familiarity with the criminal justice system.

My fi phone does not require this. I suspect it is down to the baseband rather than the manufacturer or carrier.

The new feature (and underlying HAL) both explicitly allow the radio to ignore restrictions on network types when making emergency calls, so this is not the distinction being drawn. There is also nothing the OS can do to shut down 2G in mos

There's been a setting for users to disable 2G for forever, so the new parts of this are null ciphers and enterprise control. Getting rid of null ciphers is good though. It would be nice to also refuse weak, export, etc ciphers.

I'm not arguing about what's aesthetic or not. I'm saying that a city should explicitly pick one: either have all the same design because that's how you want the city to be, or have varied designs because the alternative

I'd love this here in Seattle. I am not against modern home design with its excellent safety features and efficient usage of available land, but boy am I tired of the 'contemporary' aesthetic consuming every plot of land that

Well yeah. Just not their own. Snark aside, it's hard to imagine how you could raise kids plural on what a teacher makes here in Seattle. Even the absolute top of the teacher salaries here, after 12 promotions and with a PhD, pay about

Looks like a mutant defer, and I guess that's good? At least, there are plenty of good things about it in golang. But I have to admit I'm not looking forward to debugging the inevitable function-with-mixed-defer/goto-resource

This seems to be a very common experience. I suggested booking an AirBNB for a team off-site a few months ago and heard half a dozen variations on it from a ten person team: code wrong and no host overnight, blatantly misrepresented propert

The funny thing is that while I remember really enjoying a lot of things on the old web, I don't really remember how I found them. My guess is by either following a link and digging or by talking with people and hearing what they liked

C. It's the only language people writing bootloaders, writing kernels, and writing serious userland code kinda sorta agree on. Maybe someday it'll be rust, but if so that day isn't this year or next. Plenty of time to pick it

Renaissance is the right word. Parts of it are becoming true gems, but a lot is in flux and not everything is coming up. It's a very exciting and fluid time in the area.
