Why it does not happen to you on Mac/Linux When two write to the same file are made simultaneously on POSIX, the behavior is to interleave the writes unpredictably, then report that both succeeded. There is an opt-in method intended for coordinating simultaneous file writes (flock), but it is advisory only. It's intended for things like a database with multiple processes coordinating access to parts of a shared database file; it won't stop a program that doesn't participate from changing anything. There is a mandatory version of it, but : - it requires that the filesystem support it - the filesystem must be mounted with it specifically enabled or it does nothing - The kernel implementation is buggy/broken on Linux and doesn't work so basically nobody uses it. The POSIX philosophy is basically "It is the user's problem to make sure you aren't saving things from two places simultaneously" On Windows, the underlying function that creates/opens files (CreateFile) takes a sharing mode parameter and consequently every open file has a "Allow other readers?"/"Allow other writers?" value that determines whether a second CreateFile() fails if it tries to open the same underlying file for reading/writing/both. tl;dr: You can get the error on Windows but not POSIX because Windows has a mechanism to detect & enforce exclusive writes. If there are multiple writers, POSIX silently corrupts the file instead. (in your specific situation, probably some other drive sync/virus scanner/whatever is opening the file with more permissions than it actually needs)

I happened to think of something even more basic, since it's something I've run into a bunch of times lately: do you have permission to write to the folders you're working out of? It's really annoying for me and I keep forgetting how often I need to use administrator privileges under Windows 10 to do the most basic poo poo when my home computer only has one user profile.

That may have had something to do with it but all the job folders were in one master folder and it didn't happen every time so I dunno

So all it does is bold a certain number of letters based on the length of each word? Yeah, I’m gonna love to see this company try to enforce a patent on a process that would be trivial to anyone who has started an Intro to JS class.

I can't imagine it becoming a standard at all for several obvious reasons but something like a plug in for your browser, Kindle or email server might be really helpful for people like me with ADHD. I find it harder and harder to read as I age but that paragraph formatting worked well for me.

https://twitter.com/TorpedoGG/status/1528044352471171074 They are already getting into fights with other people doing the same thing. Looking at their website, they do seem to have some non-trivial features, allowing the user to fine-tune the way words are highlighted, but I am still not sure how their algorithm is supposed to be special.

TACD posted:FWIW the macOS RSS app Reeder has offered this feature for years, if that's a combination of things that is useful to you. Oh, right on, thanks! Is it only on Apple? I have a MAC but do most of my day to day stuff (bills, email, browsing) on my little Chromebook laptop. I love to read and just found out that I've apparently had ADHD forever. I never thought about it until my son was diagnosed, started to take long looks at the symptoms and then found a box of my old schoolwork after my mom died just filled with red flags. Wish I would have known sooner. It's only been recently that I notice myself having trouble reading though so I've been listening to more audio books. If it's just me reading a Stephen King book on a Sunday afternoon and I fail to retain info, that's one thing, but more and more I catch myself loving up at my job or on some important paperwork and am certain it has to do with my diagnosis.

ozmunkeh posted:Yeah WSL2 and the new terminal give you the best of both worlds. A functional desktop environment and the ability to drop into a shell when you need to without having to install a bunch of half-implemented windows ports of command line tools or, god forbid, something as hellish as cygwin. Integration with vscode is also pretty super. MSYS2 is handy and convenient alternative to cygwin. Now to non-SH/SC tech nightmares: 1. The Math Prodigy Whose Hack Upended DeFi Won’t Give Back His Millions. An 18 year-old UWaterloo grad "hacked" a crypto index fund (yes, this seems to be as bad of an idea as it sounds) via some clever, possibly manipulative trades. Unfortunately, the story is a bit more complicated than that. First, the lolbertarian types managing this platform seem in way above their heads: quote:As he tried to sleep the morning after the attack, Day realized he hadn’t heard from one particular collaborator. Weeks earlier, a coder going by the username “UmbralUpsilon”—anonymity is standard in crypto communities—had reached out to Day and Kellar on Discord, offering to create a bot that would make their platform more efficient. They agreed and sent over an initial fee. “We were hoping he might be a regular contributor,” Kellar says. I like how they make it sound like they did some elite matrix forensics to track this fellow down, instead of just searching for his username and finding his public GitHub account. Which, you know, they probably should have done before offering a Discord rando cash to build a bot for their supposedly secure cryptofinance platform. Anyway, here's a summary of the "hack": quote:1. Borrow heavily: Medjedovic’s code takes out a $157 million “flash loan” consisting of DEFI5’s component tokens, specifying that the funds will be returned (with interest) before the contract is finished executing. Now, if "Flood the pool with free Sushi" sounds really loving stupid (but a good thread title?), that's because it is, and anyone who put money into this garbage deserves to lose it. Unfortunately, while this might seem like a David Robin Hood vs Goliath Sherwood Sheriff story, it this young adult prodigy unfortunately appears to be a huge piece of poo poo himself: quote:Some called out his use of racist language and tropes: The Ethereum address Medjedovic used for the attack included the number “1488”—shorthand for a neo-Nazi slogan—and he’d written the N-word into the code itself, 16 times. A Twitter user called him the “Dylan [sic] Roof of Balancer Pools,” a reference to the mass shooter who killed nine Black people at a church in Charleston, S.C., in 2015. Medjedovic liked the tweet. In addition, while he was clever enough to turn fake bullshit into real money, he seems to be going into court battles in Canada without a lawyer and simply ignoring summons and judge's orders, which means he's quite likely to get his rear end handed to him for being a contemptuous moron irrespective of the details of the case, which might otherwise have been interesting in and of itself.

So the only internet ads I ever recently seen on my home rig are either twitch ads or plutotv ads because they splice ads into their vids so ublock doesnt work at all. What's senate bill 2992? my logic razor of "do the opposite of what they tell me to do" tells me that its actually good. gently caress amazon, gently caress google. they dont want this therefore I want this. Also the ad is telling me to call my AZ senators so lol good job pluto even though my ip isnt AZ. https://www.congress.gov/bill/117th-congress/senate-bill/2992 e: the CCIA is against it, 4/5 of the FAANG companies being against it seems pretty decent arugement to be for it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_%26_Communications_Industry_Association PhazonLink fucked around with this message at 07:15 on May 28, 2022 |

As far as I can tell from reading it, it looks fine? I imagine that the platform owners are mostly unhappy about it because it opens them up to a lot of potential liability for their search and suggestion algorithms as far as presenting some products more prominently than others, among other vertical integration type stuff.
