I expect Java would be easy-mode

That makes sense. Java leaves metadata in compiled code to reconstruct better.

I see. I wasn't aware. Thanks. I thought the two comments per day limit is for users with low karma. Anyway, I'm using that limit to push myself in being picky about posts to comment on and to improve the quality of comments.

I had done a fair bit of reverse-engineering-jar-files in the pre-LLM era for various reasons. The biggest problem with decompiled java files was naming. The original variable names, class names etc were not retained and the decompiler would use some alphanumeric series. That'd make reading code very hard. Curious how the current LLMs are able to address this. Maybe it's able to figure out how the class, variable etc is used and name it accordingly. (All this is assuming the original code itself was readable because there are enough bad programmers)

Yandex officials also said they re-secured the compromised accounts and blocked what appeared to be unauthorized logins. They are now asking impacted account owners to change their passwords.

I’m curious how access was provided to these sold accounts. The password change implies the passwords were shared and that means plan text password were available to admins!?

This increased transmission could be due to chance or founder effects—meaning one variant just happened to get somewhere before the other variants and then got “lucky”; it was early, rather than more transmissible. It could be due to changed behavior among people—quarantine fatigue, less masking—leading to more rapid spread. However, given the current evidence, along with the specifics of the mutation, it’s getting harder to assume that those other explanations are more likely than the simple proposition that this is truly a more transmissible variant.

There is a chance that the hyper growth of the mutated virus is not scalable.

I have seen this behaviour repeatedly. Having to many “task windows” makes it difficult to focus. Similar to having to many tasks in Asana or emails in my Inbox. Prioritisation is the only option to come out of this. Unfortunately, I haven’t found a way to tag priority with the “task windows”. And that’s the reason I daily browse through all windows and close the ones that are not urgent.

One of objectives for encryption at rest is shredding. The drives may not remain in the secure facility after the end of life.

your files are distributed in pieces across millions of drives throughout the data center

Distributing data could actually secure it if individual pieces are meaningless.

Working on your intrinsic motivation needs - relatedness, autonomy, and competence - has always helped me when it comes to burnout, failures, and, in general, feeling of things not going your way. AFAIU, you probably have a good autonomy in terms of "how" you do the tech stuff as long as it works. Embrace your autonomy and have a plan for the other two.
