Very interesting tip, preciate that.
@PassGAN
Instead of relying on manual password analysis, PassGAN uses a Generative Adversarial Network (GAN) to autonomously learn the distribution of real passwords from actual password leaks, and to generate high-quality password guesses. Our experiments show that this approach is very promising.
So this is the second mention of a rubber duck. I’m trying to fiercely convince myself that talking to a toy on your desk was absolutely not a real thing for adults and that this is some satire I’m missing.
If it’s true, that’s beyond shameful for an adult. I would quit if I were next to that person’s office/cubicle so that they didn’t infect me.
In fact, if this was a real thing, don’t even tell me. I don’t want to live with that kinda shame for my species.

The name sounds akin to “mass gaslighting”?
Now that you mention that, I say if securing your own 1-chance-only->dead life that is only for you gets you on a list, better double time it. But in reality, there is no one who is not already on a list. Same thing as body armor being illegal or as I’ve experienced, “suspicious”. Suspicious to protect oneself like others do? Hah!
Looks like things at Grasp have changed dramatically and it’s offline with a promise to open source the code? Did you try a symbol search while logged in, and selecting “code” or “packages” in the results filter?

What that user is describing is very serious. They are saying iOS can reach into Signal and extract data.
What a superb list! Saved.
I was thinking of writing a guide on how to lead a digitally private and secure “life” since so many bad guides are out there.
I’d like to add that the best private and secure Operating Systems are:
Private Search Engines
Private Browsers
Qubues runs containers yes, but the unique use of a paravirtualized Fedora Linux kernel itself leaves open lots of unique security holes and is therefore extremely hard reviewing the security of it yourself.
GrapheneOS is constantly being showboated by Ed Snowden which is a red flag and I did experience app contamination on it. I would also suggest PostmarketOS. Definite no on CalyxOS.
I’d like to throw in my own Free Open Source, git clone, security repositories for BSD and Firefox available on Bitbucket, Github, and my own self-hosted git server with the latest files. All my software is currently written in Python (my very first Python scripts!) and short so it’s very easy to review.
I’ve seen this time and time again and it breaks my heart. In a Tron way, I wish all users could ingest this and then make reforms to the Industry. Profit at all costs makes users poor.
Very intersting! I’m not so sure about the oathiness of:
But I think the real oath impact there is:
In Government work that, ^, is considered career ending.
I will improve upon this, thanks for the awareness.
Superb for including the Engineering Code of Ethics which I didn’t know exsisted! In my decades of working on every part of Computer Systems, Information Systems, unfortunately, I personally think if you work for Big Tech, you cannot abide those Code of Ethics. From the website>
Engineers, in the fulfillment of their professional duties, shall:
How many Google Code Monkeys violate 1 or more of those on the daily? For instance in Canon 1, it does not say profit is paramount, but that public welfare is paramount. In fact, you could argue that is a competing objective working for Big Tech and following ethics.
Maybe, postulating, as I consider myself an Engineer and not a Developer.

Brainstorm thoughts dated just now
I guess it’s in the conveyance of the word? Engineer seems like fitting a puzzle piece. Creating Software in a vast eco-system of language, OS, Frameworks, Platforms, Networks, and views it’s progression in time. For instance planned obsolescence, graceful failure in the “pipeline of things”, tolerates network topology changes, etc.
Maybe Engineers build with well designed, graphed/drawn, and planned strategy of the components in interaction with all other systems, including OS failings, local Network failing, Internet failing, Management Failings (workplace), on and on. The more things you can account for the more brilliant an Engineer you are.
Software Developer seems more linear. You take an idea and start with a good program. Then it’s built up and up until it becomes a great piece of Software.
I tried this in my Grasp account, a search engine that is pre-loaded with all the Hacker News blogs and other select technical website, and builds results in associated degrees of relations from there. It came up with 8 repos searching for:
https://usegrasp.com/search?q=github+“tnt_select”+
Also I want to say, your scenario is troublesome that GitHub itself could not come up with a satisfactory answer. Strange.
So many great viewpoints here. Crystal for faster and concurrent Ruby. Crystal has a pretty advanced Web Framwork called Lucky not many know about. Haskell so good, but hard to convince people to use it for projects. Haskell also has a very advanced Web Framework called Integrated Haskell Platform. Scala’s very impressive feature set. Zig is in such a super position and Julia is capable in so many ways including Fortran integration.
I’m surprised no one has mentioned Chapel or Nim though! My favorite programming speed benchmark is spectral norm and even though Chapel is the fourth fastest language (not benchmark) it’s not using the forte of grid parallelism!
Nim is getting to be quite the monster and not beholden to Mega-Corps finance/steering like Python and Go are.
Also I want to add that Zig blows Rust away in many performances!
NOTE: Just as an ethical, solo, non-commercial Engineer, I sponsor Nim on Patreon and Zig on Github
Full Disclosure: It was me that downvoted preferences for Python and Go as the one language. One lang a low level scripting lang? Preposterous! LISP can do/be anything for example. Get out of here with that undercover marketing/influencer speak!
Fantastic. Much appreciate the awareness of Hyperscript.org and Tachyons.io as well.
Have you ever grabbed a childs private parts? NO of course not, because you INNATELY UNDERSTAND even though you are not a parent and don’t remember being one yourself. In fact you understand it so well that if you were to do so publcally, you’re putting your life at risk.
CONCLUSION: Privacy is natural and helps give confidence and security to an individual but they want access to your weaknesses and privates anyway.
EVIDENCE: Privacy Violation is a specific tactic meant to break people …IN PRISON…since they begining of time, Gulags.
P.S. Stop showing nude baby pictures at reunions to those that did not raise or grow up with the child in the family who already saw them naked, and only while they are still a child and not a teenager, otherwise that is a serious privacy violation. In fact, just don’t take the picture, where did you even get that you lazy lubricated louse.
