So an attacker has gained remote access, yet needs to perform operations using a sort of Remote Desktop approach? Plausible — in movies.

I used it for my 1:1’s with a coworker who wasn’t too comfortable with such talks. We strolling around through a virtual world, me as a dancing woman in a pyjama and he as a fox made things more more relaxed for him.

I don’t get it why the US company layoff culture is so different from what I’m familiar with, the European one. What are they afraid of that people need to be locked out? That one brings a gun to work? Here you get laid off, get a notice, a

Not mentioned in the article, but I bet seasonal/time-related passwords are due to password rotation policies. I work for a company too slow or stupid to have understood how counterproductive such policy is, and all my passwords are an

I loved this book. It’s the sort of book that made me occasionally pause and think about the ideas presented in it. Boltzmann brains still fascinate me. The spot market for CPU power was visionary. When reading it again when I was older I o

I like articles like this. Because they taught me, a native Dutchman, that I should take similar articles about cultures I’m not familiar with, with a grain of salt as well. Anyway, it’s a pity that today it wasn’t sunny while ice skating o

When I think of playing Mikado I think of altering pieces that (you hope) are isolated, in a constant fear that the whole mess collapses — because there was a connection you didn’t notice. Sounds like the opposite of good software engineeri

I find that suspicious too. I only found this post by using the search functionality. There are other cloudflare related posts as well not showing up, with 200+ pts as well. Although the HN ranking algo is mysterious, this is different from

European intelligence services are definitely capable, and the Dutch AIVD is highly regarded for its cyber capabilities. In a proper functioning democracy at least the prime minister should know what intelligence services are up to. As thos

Some highlights from the article: - Within the Dutch parliament there’s a committee for intelligence related work. They were not aware. Neither was the PM; - The intelligence officier later died in a motor cycle accident near Dubai. Nothing

I watched this video, impressed, and thought: what if it’s fake. But then dismissed the thought because it would come out and the damage wouldn’t be worth it. I was wrong.

Got into Go more than a decade ago, because it was HN’s darling back then. It has become out of fashion now here, replaced with that other great statically typed performant language (don’t want to start a flame war). Which on its turn will

This thing has 233k stars. I dare to say, without evidence, that the vast majority of devs does not know what e.g. the CAP theorem is——and they’ll never need it. The vast majority of “systems” are small-scale. Who’s this massive audience?

If that Chat Control thing is going to protect our kids from harmful content like this, then it might be a good idea actually! Edit: apologies dang, you’re right obviously.

There’s error wrapping for adding context. Where one adds a human readable context to errors. Stack traces as I know them from the JVM world, with their line numbers and method names, seem a lot more coupled to the source code, so I’d say i

With a statement like that in your postscript I think it would be fair to elaborate.

Slightly off-topic: where does one get an overview of what is planned to go into a new release?

Initiatives like Chat Control makes me pessimistic. They keep on coming in all sort of variations and we defend. Given enough of such iterations, at some point though they’ll eventually be lucky and god knows how long it will take to revert

Are there any ML approaches to identifying signals? Since using a receiver that produces sound given a FM/SSB demodulation of whatever true modulation is used, or visually inspecting a waterfall certainly has limitations.

I absolute hate how people behave on LinkedIn. Virtue signaling and humble bragging. With “the crying CEO” a prime example. It’s as fake as all the other social media.

I find this so infuriating that the standard flow is: 1. Notice issue; 2. Check provider status page which says all fine: 3. Have to go to HN to find the info that should’ve been on their status page.
