The GDPR says:

> The data subject shall have the right to obtain from the controller the erasure of personal data concerning him or her without undue delay and the controller shall have the obligation to erase personal data without undue delay

"Undue delay" is subjective, but "we'll keep backups of your data for a week in case you change your mind" seems easy to justify in court.

That article is sobering. The fact that this malware stayed under the radar for 20 years is pretty ominous in itself.

Ah, yes, the "fuck it" approach to infosec.

It seems to have worked for Fiverr.

If I understand correctly, it was only stable until you restarted Firefox / your computer.

Ok that’s change it a bit but on the other hand I’ve had my browser open for weeks now and I only restart it when the “update” button turns red lol

correct. the ordering persists for as long as the original process continues to run

> Amy Eskridge - who publicly stated she was not suicidal before "committing suicide"

I really hate the discourse around this stuff. Like, yes, disguising murder as suicide is a thing and obviously three-letters agencies do it.

But someone saying publicly they're not suicidal gives you close to zero information. People with suicidal ideation almost never advertise it publicly because, one, there is a heavy amount of social stigma attached to it, and two, publicly declaring you're suicidal is a good way to get involuntarily committed to a mental health institution.

I see a ton of jokes on social media that go "remember, X is not suicidal". How the fuck would you know? This discourse is so disrespectful to people struggling with suicidal thoughts.

Subjectively, it seems like it's even prudent to consider that someone who is involved in a discussion about whether or not they're suicidal is probably likelier than average to commit suicide. Fair chance that "I'm not suicidal" should really even be understood to mean, "I'm not suicidal right now".

It's a little different when the person is saying "I've received threats, so if you hear something happens to me, I did NOT kill myself!"

Then, you know, bringing up suicide and it being a warning sign they're about to? The odds have shifted a bit.

They publicly said they were receiving threats. And that if something happened to them, don't believe it's suicide. That's a bit different than just, you know, saying it at random, or because someone asked you how you're doing.

It's respectful to trust someone who says they're not suicidal. Saying "they could've been suicidal anyway" is disrespectful to people who aren't suicidal and are telling the truth.

If someone is struggling with suicidal thoughts and is publicly lying about it, they shall not have my respect anyway: I'm ok with being disrespectful to them.

tl;dr: They pull the damaged cable up, weld it to a new section of cable their brought, and then drop the cable with a detour to make room for the extra length.

(This is a really meandering article!)

I'm remember a Tiny Glade talk where they explained that they did reflections by first doing a screen-space pass, and then a ray-tracing pass for all the pixels that didn't get a "hit" in screen space (as in, the reflection needed to show something offscreen in that pixel).

This and with reflection you have tiny different representation of your world. RTX has TLAS and BLAS for ray traversing, your own tracing can be based on own BVH acceleration structure and SDF form of the world. So you right, you can't properly cull the world but you can have optimized version by having 1. Nice acceleration structure (hardware TLAS BLAS or software BVH/Octree (iirc octree cache-unfriendly)) 2. Simple material form representation to sample 3. Short rays 4. Initial simplified rays result like screen space reflection 5. Half screen (less rays) and temporal accumulation (even more less rays!)

> Is there any other lightweight UI Framework supporting software-rendering and framebuffer for embedded devices (RISC-V 64bit musl, LicheeRV Nano)?

There's no crates.io release yet, but the master branch of Xilem and Masonry is somewhat renderer-agnostic, and lets you use vello_cpu, which does SIMD-assisted software rendering (I don't know how good the RISC-V support is).

I say "somewhat" because it's supported by the internals crates (xilem_masonry, masonry_core), but not by the composition root crate (xilem), so you have to implement your own integration with winit, but we're getting there!

> Finally, the most interesting question in my view: [...] does skipping equality saturation take the egraph goodness out of an egraph(-alike)? The most surprising conclusion in all of the data was, for me, that aegraphs (per se) -- multi-value representations -- don't seem to matter.

I'm not super surprised.

As the article points out, a lot of e-graph projects include rules for culling e-nodes or stopping generation after a certain cutoff. That this is considered a perfectly normal thing to do hints that equality saturation isn't really the magic sauce of e-graphs.

Uh, TIL the DINUM still used Windows. I wonder what held them, it's certainly not a lack of familiarity with Linux.

I feel you're underselling the second statement a bit:

> Each ministry (including operators) will be required to finalize its own [migration] plan by fall

This sounds like there's actual pressure to start moving soon, especially for adopting existing DINUM solutions.

(I agree the title is clickbait.)
