What I meant to say is that they can easily use both a phone and a PC, and still think it’s arcane and cryptic. Even if they needed to tinker with it, e.g. a lot of DOS games required me to set IRQ, and I still don’t know precisely what it is

I’m afraid this required much more tinkering back in the day, and will be way less educational now. Maybe building and running a PC from 2005 or earlier will require the same level of getting to know things, but otherwise it will not teach to not treat computer as arcane and enigmatic, imo

I’m guessing inefficient in a sense that with distributed you need more computational power in total than with centralised

‘Clean Code’ by Uncle Bob is a good place to start when answering these questions.

And here I was, almost agreeing. Clean code is defining quality through aesthetics, and that book is a very bad advice of how to define anything

Tortoise might be fine too

Besides, they say ‘read really old texts’ as if this is easily achieved right now, which it is not

I think, e is silent in baked and not in naked. But that’s kind of like Sean Bean

Yeah, there are maybe a couple of reasonable ideas like using background and making comments stand out more, but that’s it. Especially weird is the idea about light theme not being used because of syntax highlight

I feel like GPU is massively parallel but still somewhat sync, but I’m not sure.

But what I think about the article is that it mixes a lot of wishful thinking into reality. There were other CPU architectures, including ones without synchronisation, and most of them never left research. In part because current architecture is abundant, but I think that also because making something complicated work async is quite hard.

Same as many long debunked concepts, sometimes even declared wrong by their own original author, it will continue to have followers and will never completely fade away. For this reason I don’t think that talking about it sometimes is a wrong thing

Agree, setting up rustfmt and then battling other developers about it’s settings is not very fun. But having a standard tool with configurable settings that can be stored right in the repository is immensely better than not

“Why” comments are of course included in “we don’t need that” category

I think my manager is strongly Clean Code inclined. More than once they removed comments, because they will become outdated anyway (so there’s no use explaining what is going on at all, right? Right‽)

Besides this, there were several times when noname dumb phones do several things you don’t want or expect them to do:

1. Use your SIM or internet to “track sales”, sending out your IMEI
2. Send SMS to paid numbers
3. Steal authorization SMS

So technology being easily attacked is not even a real problem when you have a bunch of trojans right from the start. Those stories are from 2021, so of course this might not happen any longer.

I thought it would be useful for filling and finding metadata, but I don’t think it can do that

I think there’s just too many unfinished features and issues to also start working on GUI

We are standing up to stop Russia from building a surveillance state like China.

That’s noble, it’s a pity it’s also naïve

They answer it in the section ‘Where Rayhunter Has Detected Likely Surveillance’, at least partially:

One of the most interesting examples that triggered multiple detections and even inspired us to write some new detection rules was at a cruise port in the Turks and Caicos Islands. […]

Rayhunter users have detected likely CSS use in the US as well. We have received reports from Chicago and New York where our “IMSI Sent without authentication” signature was triggered multiple times over the course of a couple hours and then stopped. Neither report was in the vicinity of a protest. We feel fairly confident that these reports are indicative of a CSS being present, though we don’t have any secondary evidence to back them up.

We have received other reports that have triggered our CSS detection signatures, but the above examples are the ones we feel most confident about.

Did it help, have you managed to get rid of the sounds?
