So is it really a book about something like #включить <стдвв.з> цел главная() { печататьф("Привет, мир!\н"); вернуть 0; }

I've been using Mac for ages but I use the layout Apple calls "Russian — PC". These characters are still not really that available. There are some alt-shift-whatever contortions you can do to type them, but it's easier j

My notification setup is more elaborate (for one, I do keep social media notifications on, but silent) but yeah I agree in general. It frightens me seeing some other people's notification shades where they have 20+ spam notifications f

By the way, there's one Cyrillic programming language still in wide use today. It's part of 1С (1S), an ERP system that's absolutely everywhere in Russia. The language itself is quite similar to Visual Basic. It's awkwar

You still sit at home, alone, in front of a screen to talk to these people. It's still really depressing. I sincerely miss working in an office, but with my current job it would've been impossible anyway (everyone is remote in dif

Smithereen, my fediverse server, contains a bytecode VM for the `execute` API method: https://smithereen.software/docs/api/methods/execute I plan to eventually use it for things like automatic spam filtering

Indeed, but there are counterexamples as well. In the UAE you enter as a tourist and get a resident visa while you're there. They take away your passport for at least a couple of weeks so you can't leave either.

Long-distance trains in Russia are still like that. They often have a dedicated restaurant carriage. Though I don't know who would want to spend a week traveling from Moscow to Vladivostok on a train when you can just fly, and that&#x2

That's an excellent talk, thanks for sharing it. And yes that USB gadget thing. I had to use it recently to turn a RPi Zero into a parallel -> USB converter. It's impossible to debug and sometimes makes you question your own sa

I know and I don't like that either. But at least I don't have to touch the Unix layer too often.

Not yet but it seems like they've finally started working towards that. Driver compatibility has improved dramatically over the last few years, for one.

As someone who very much dislikes the Linux/Unix philosophy, I'm happy to see diversity.

None I'm aware about. But there's a growing list of things that the government itself considers straight up "extremist" or other forms of forbidden, so it doesn't get to the payment processor banning them.

We have one in Russia, called Mir (world/peace, somewhat ironically). While, yes, there was literally zero downtime on card payments when Visa and MC left the country, they are still irreplaceable for international payments. As a res

That'll also work somewhat, but the problem would remain that even if it's legal to break the DRM, you can't exactly break it when it's assisted by hardware and there are no vulnerabilities in the "trusted" cod

What if you can copy someone else's SoC including their keys ?

And what code will verify the signature of the initial bootloader? As far as I know, in every modern implementation of secure boot that is done by that very bootloader, which is burned into the CPU/SoC. I can imagine someone implementi

Then also make it illegal for the SoC to contain any cryptographic key material. My intention with this is to make sure that if someone were to desolder the flash chip and reprogram it, they could completely own the device without the devic

It's not asymmetric cryptography itself. It's the fact that it takes enormous resources to manufacture modern SoCs, such that the economy only makes sense if you're churning them out by millions at least. It's also the f

Our civilization desperately needs a method to modify modern microelectronics after manufacturing that can be used at least in a well-equipped repair shop, and it needs it yesterday. Alternatively, just make it illegal to ship any kind of i

A simple captcha with distorted characters + some hidden form fields would stop every single "opportunistic" bot. There's hardly anything you can do to stop someone determined enough to spend money to spam your specific websi

I spent a week in NYC in 2014. Used the subway a lot, but mostly within Manhattan. Don't remember having any issues except a few stations smelling of shit and the card readers on the turnstiles being very picky about the speed of your

On the one hand, this sort of thing feels inexcusable to me. In my mind, the subway is the most reliable mode of city transportation. On the other, the NYC subway is one of the few 24/7 subway systems in the world, which makes me env

There's nowhere to run, unfortunately. Windows and Linux are orders of magnitude worse than even macOS 26. To say that the whole software industry is a dumpster fire would be an understatement.

If you're into electromechanical machines, he also has a working telephone exchange and a bunch of videos where he restores its various components and explains how it works (I still don't quite understand how it works though). Tha
