I'm not qualified to say this, so this isn't a diagnosis, but the post strikes me as similar in tone to the postings of a paranoid schizophrenic who regularly used to post on a forum I visited.

Completely convinced they're on the verge of uncovering something that will "change history" yet very difficult to follow the detail of what they're saying.

If I had to guess between "Inside job" and "Their CI system was owned", it may be neither, of course, but of the two I'd bet on the latter.

Careful about leaping to conclusions, we're hearing one side of a story here.

I think that's just the UI to enable the bare API, you still need an app that uses that API?

Kind of like enabling location won't give you a map, you still need a map app to use that location. (For example).

That said, the efforts of other countries shows had they gone with that API in the first place they would perhaps have something running by now, rather than insisting on going their own way because they wanted the data centralised.

You're confusing pwned passwords wtih https://haveibeenpwned.com/

As for pwned passwords, it doesn't send the password. The way it works is that you submit the first 5 characters of a hash, and get back a list of all hashes.

You then locally compare the complete hash to see if it is there.

Are super-quick boots vulnerable to having a (presumably?) lower entropy pool exploited or do the steps taken to mitigate low entropy across freshly minted cloud images also help here?

One grandmaster described the streamers as having "negative talent in life".

Unironically chess is an e-sport and this recent explosion is because Hikaru, Botez, Hess et al. have woken up to that idea and embraced it.

The best computers can easily beat the top humans just as an aimbot could beat Navi easily at CS:GO.

So the focus in chess has moved away from manually exploring to find optimal plays and new opening styles as was the trend in the 19th century chess rennaisance to a focus on preparation so that a player can quickly find best moves, under significant pressure, in any given match.

That makes it much more like a strategy game.

Embracing memes makes it more accessible to viewers who are used to watching hearthstone, csgo, league, dota or other esports and it's been really fun to watch.

I started watching chess on twitch a while ago during the Tata steel tournament and I thought back then it would quickly grow if they focused their commentary on casual level viewers and it's been fantastic to have been proved correct.

Or a closer analogy, like someone saying "Oh I'm such OCD" because they arranged their pens in colour order.

Sorry but this is nonsense.

You're suggesting that I shouldn't get the same chemotherapy for relapsed cancer or that my relapse is because of "something in my life is terribly wrong".

Because the treatment worked to get it in remission, fuck me for wanting to take the same medicine again?

Lots of people suffer from poor health through no fault of their own. Arguing that their ills must be because of poor life choices is victim blaming.

Just because you're lucky enough to not have suffered chronic ill health doesn't mean others have been so lucky.

Take pleasure in your fortune, but don't try to take all credit for it.

Step 1 is disarm the police..

UK police aren't armed, which means that they are well trained in de-escalation because it's the main thing that's protecting them.

One of the biggest worries of introducing tasers is that it diminishes that aspect. Why try to calm someone down if you can reach for your taser instead.

In the US they reach for a handgun instead.

Disarm the police. That might require disarming the population too.

So step 1 is ban the guns.

Which tragically means the USA will likely stay at step 0 for a very long time, because it seems the second amendment is held to a higher regard than the first.

This is an odd analysis, because as it highlights, salaries are strongly correlated with wealth of the country.

So the question really becomes, not why are salaries different, but "why is programming difficult to offshore".

If programming was easy to import and export then either salaries would even out or, more likely, would be relocated to cheaper countries like many kinds of manufacturing.

But software is difficult to outsource even from one department to another let alone between companies or countries.

If you can solve outsourcing, then you've solved the problem of knowing what you want from software.

But if you've done that, you've just become the software engineer.

My biggest gripe trying it now is the poor keyboard shortcuts in windows.

Hitting ctrl+s is a reflex and while it might not need saving, it's annoying that it redirects focus to the search.

Likewise, F2 doesn't rename, instead tries to do something difference.

If it proves useful anyway I'll try to contribute a keyboard shortcut map to be more consistent with windows or VS, it might be annoying until then however.
