Yup, this is the concern. Having been kindly asked by Oracle to remove virtualbox extensions, this sort of gotcha/conditional pricing feels dangerous

I’m not a Windows user but AIUI just running dockerd in WSL2 misses some of the volume sharing and networking niceties. Nothing that couldn’t be replicated though

Thanks - that wasn't obvious from the Rancher Desktop site.

Docker Engine only runs on Linux. Docker for Mac/Windows sets up a Linux VM using macOS/Windows native virtualization via the open-source HyperKit/VPNKit abstractions maintained by Dock…

Seems interesting, but the name conflict with https://rancher.com/ is _very_ confusing. Is Rancher Desktop associated with the linked company?…

That’s not my interpretation of the first party descriptions of the CSAM system. Clearly it works if photos are encrypted; nothing implies they’re using that capability yet. If that were the case, th…

It works if the photos are encrypted such that Apple can’t access them. Hence the wonky design. They haven’t announced that photos will be E2E encrypted.

They can’t decrypt the safety vouchers, which contain low resolution versions of your image until the conditions are met … which makes no sense as they have access to the cleartext full resolution ima…

No. The author describes their process for generating the image down that very thread[0] Quoting the tweet for those who dislike twitter: > The procedure for this was pretty simple: > - Started…

> not that unlikely that the same image could match both. That seems like a statement that needs to be justified. I suppose one could apply a 50% dropout, construct adversarial pairs on that networ…

And there's no preimage attack! So even with the unblinded hashes (which per Apple's description are encrypted with a private key they control) one couldn't construct an innocent image…

It's not just that they're hard to get - it's also that no one has demonstrated a preimage attack. So given just an illegal hash one can't construct an innocent image with that ha…

The CSAM scanning system Apple describes prevents[0] the sort of abuse that has historically been used as as argument against convenient strong encryption. By casting a very specific net for the most …

There's also a positive probability that ssh-keygen spits out your ssh key next time I run it.

This _is_ a user privacy feature. It's clearly a precursor to E2EE iCloud services they weren't able to provide before.

The "homeowners can 'gift' stays to 'friends and family'" [second scare quotes added] quote in the middle, plus the app to organize bookings hints at the direction they&#…

Shared config != shared machine

Policymakers play the hand they're dealt; disliking a policy because you dislike the conditions it's predicated on is a valid thing to feel, but not an argument that the the policy is wrong…

Don't know what to make of the frequency, to be precise. I understand the difficulty there, I'm just surprised that the prophylactic "I'm a ___" is so prevalent and apparentl…

That's a nice sentiment[1], but why couch it in such an odd construction? "I took it, but here's a bunch of reasons not to" doesn't come across as an argument for equanimity …

All of these comments following the pattern "I'm vaccinated but [insert vaccine hesitancy content here]" sound quite a lot like the "I'm a democrat but [insert pro-trump conte…

Surprisingly, people don't speak in rigorous, syntactically correct if-statements.

Masks, tests, etc. are foremost ways to mitigate potential harm, not to 'wear down' people.

Exactly this. Productive use of IDEs (or vim, or emacs, or vsc, or …) is the opposite of cargo-culting: one knows exactly how to decompose the abstractions presented by the IDE. Should they fail, or p…

Interesting, thanks for the pointers. So AIUI the second, recommended method, it's overwriting the source location for that particular package, and then letting nix build that with an otherwise u…

That's a fair point, I don't have the same expectation of other os-level package managers. There are alternatives in other projects that bridge build system and package management while dire…

Nix is really cool for demos like this, but seems to get complicated if you need to grab specific versions of a dependency. At last check, that involved digging through the history of the package…

One gets the sense that the ... intense ... interest in the origin of this virus, and whether it has any association this lab is not really driven by overwhelming scientific curiosity. Is it worth kno…

Critically, not just 'dry air' vs 'humid' in the human sense. Wet-bulb is temperature at 100% relative humidity. A 'humid' day in the human sense is like 60-70%.

N.B. the 35c/95f temperature they're talking about is _not_ air temperature. It's 'wet bulb' temperature, or what the air temperature would be at 100% humidity. Only when th…
