What if someone just says "Korea"? Seems like a better comparison.

Absolutely. The current title ("Nobel Prize for Economics") is simply false. The official name is "The Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred Nobel 2021", which can be shortened to "Nobel

It's not just modern C++ support. C/C++ implementations mostly get taken for granted, but taking a look at the LLVM bug tracking is horrifying - there are huge amounts of years-old reports that nobody seems to be working on even t

Dang or other mods, please change URL, the eureka alert article is concise and informative, apart from not being paywalled.

You're mostly correct, but I'm guessing you don't use the feature of marking videos as not interesting - it really helps, to the degree that I don't get suggested almost any right-wing videos of the disgusting kind even

Your idea sounds nice, but it doesn't really make sense. Consider that terrorists can easily do GoF and release the product - no research necessary. On the other hand, when scientists do GoF research, our virological knowledge may be f

> We all agree that gain of function research is a bad idea. Who is "we" here? Fear of GoFR is similar to the fear of nuclear power - there are obvious risks, but people don't think about the benefits.

Nitpick: sandboxing also makes sense for anything that executes untrusted code and similar. But the proper solution includes designing the sandboxing into the application, like Chromium does it. So this doesn't have much to do with the

That article is just a load of rubbish. The GP's point still stands. If you check out the other HN submissions from the same site, it becomes clear that the author is ignorant on most of the topics the articles whine about, and also th

Let's put it this way: say you want to prevent somebody from getting the data on a disk. Wouldn't writing random data over the entire disk be a good idea?

It matters for deniability and for reliability. If you have LUKS, you really don't want to corrupt the header.

Firstly, you'd probably want to make backups of the USB device with the initrd, in case one of them fails. To mount the decrypted disk during boot, it's necessary to make the kernel aware of the fact that it's something that

See my top-level comment. Just put the initrd and secret on the external device.

An option that wasn't at all considered in the article is to have the initrd and (optionally) the secret key used for decrypting the disk on a separate device (or devices), for example on an 1 GB USB drive. This way the big disk can ha

I don't know what do you like about the phrasing, but it's not really friendly. The word "oxidize" used like that is clearly a Rust community slang, so it signals that the author identifies with the (a?) Rust community,

This is a veiled attack on user freedom itself. The article is based on the idea that software isn't free and doesn't give controls to the user that the user should rightfully have as the device owner. When it talks about security

You seem to have misunderstood me: I'm not talking about any specific politician or ideology, I'm talking purely about the quote by the creator of the two shows.

by nsajko 5y ago
The point is that the two shows ("almost every episode") were purposefully meant as propaganda, as Jay himself explains in the quote. That's not just cynicism.

Doubtful, as Aliexpress does allow something like that (last time I checked).
