Hello thanks for visiting my profile.

  • My boss wants us to use AI

  • Applicants should be asking employers: how extensive has your firm's use of AI generated coding tools been over the last few years?

  • California lawmakers pass bill to ban ICE agents from wearing masks

    Jump

  • Yes, and without appropriate identification on hand or prior notification to state or local authorities about activities, a masked person who claims to be an immigration officer, can be presumed by a reasonable person to be breaking this law (if passed), until they are positively identified as federal kidnappers instead of run-of-the-mill kidnappers. In the current state, they can just do whatever without people being able to tell the difference between a criminal assault vs. an enforcement operation.

  • Our fediverse conversations are gonna have the context they have been missing!

  • AFAIK, It's to solve or mitigate the "Replies from other servers may be missing" issue.

    Essentially imagine you are signed in on server A, responding to or looking at a comment from server B. But people on servers C, D and E have faved, boosted or replied to that same comment. Unless you or someone on your server had followed people on the other servers, you can't see those comments or their contributions to the boost count, unless you go to view the comment on server B's site.

    Backfilling means server A fetching those other actions from other servers somehow, so that they will show up when you view it from your own server reliably. Examples of that somehow could be, obtaining all the info from server B (localized single source of truth), it could be collected individually from other servers, from a centralized server, or other means.

  • If I were to make up the rules:

    • Black gets to select at the start, which of the 8 empty tiles of the board should be voided.
    • Pieces can move and capture across the void but can't land in it. It is an invalid move when considering checkmate/evading check/stalemate.
    • Black or White can choose to move an adjacent tile into the void regardless of what pieces are on it. This uses their move.
    • The tile can be moved to get out of check or avoid checkmate or stalemate. (edit: to make things interesting, you can't simply reverse the tile move that puts you in check, but you can move a different tile)
    • You cannot put yourself or both players in check with the tile move.
    • The tile cannot be moved if you are in check and moving the tile doesn't get you out.
    • The space between where a king starts and ends when sitting upon a sliding tile does not count as a vulnerable space, unlike the normal rules for castling.
    • The king can castle under otherwise normal rules, if it and the target rook are in the original position even if the tile that they sit on had moved away then back, so long as those pieces were never moved normally. (To prevent the king being forcibly moved by the opponent solely to deny castling opportunity)
    • Moving a tile causing one's own pawn to bypass an opponent pawn's attacking space (anywhere on the board) only triggers the en passant rule if there is a valid space where the opponent's piece would capture. No en passant for moving backwards or moving your opponent's pieces past yours. (edit: Horizontal en passant is out as well, forward only.)
    • Pawn Promotion doesn't happen even if a pawn moves backwards to the player's own end row.
    • It would be rare, but en passant could capture a newly promoted piece if someone had moved their pawn one row backward from their starting row, and their opponent used the tile move to try to bypass it.
    • Two promotions can happen in one tile move.
    • The opponent chooses the piece(s) to promote if you move their pawn(s) to your end row.
    • You cannot move the tile if a resulting opponent's promotion(s) to queens and/or knights would cause a check on you, even if for whatever reason the opponent would not choose that promotion.
    • No prohibitions on causing stalemate through tile moves. Though it is more likely to cause a repetition draw due to the trapped player being able to simply reverse it.

    Did I forget to cover anything?

  • ICEBlock handled my vulnerability report in the worst possible way

    Jump

  • I agree that security by obscurity is a terrible security policy. But you have to cut the developer a little slack, he goes and makes a nice thing to put immigrants at ease (95% incorrect reports still better than no report information as one can just assumes ICE is everywhere), with proven by reverse engineering he doesn't collect or store data and he's not interested in storing aggregate data. In return he gets threats from government on him and his family, praise but also criticism and hatespeech from random internet folks.

    This dev does appear to have a problem with separating wheat from chaff. While the security researcher does raise several legitimate points, the way it is presented and the way it was reported to the dev sounds a bit adversarial and can be interpreted like a conclusion in search of evidence. Disclosure periods are usually days at minimum, weeks to months depending on the severity. There would be more time to properly explain, rather than "You need a warrant canary!", which will simply be met with "No, I don't!".

    Edit: sorry for triple commeting, app was timing out

  • Yeah. I have used that. And I'm sure most with personal instances that just pressed the "Install NextCloud" button have no clue, including me.

  • What to know about "Workers Over Billionaires" protests on Labor Day

    Jump

  • Good. With the major unions involved, this will kickstart the real process of organizing a nation.

    Consider thinking about the logistics of a local, regional or national strike fund. Figure out how to pool resources together, since you'll need resources to support people who want to join the cause but are spread very thin.
