Maybe not Parallels, but VMWare Fusion always seemed like a skunkworks side-project that almost got killed off at least once. Their cash cow is enterprise hypervisors, not $60 consumer windows emulation, unfortunately. (Fusion has been serv

I'm not going to miss Intel ME. I am going to miss running windows and linux VMs, and commercial software by microsoft, adobe, and blizzard. I'm also going to miss hand-optimized x86_64 assembly variants of ffmpeg, lame, x265, nod

Right on. It's the same way a windows computer is often cheaper than the same computer without an OS. The seller doesn't get paid by McAfee, Microsoft Office, Norton, and so on for bundling their crapware and has to make up for th

I'm curious to read the reports from the garbage traffic they get at their 1.x.x.x addresses. Must be a ton of computers sending traffic that way. On the other hand, there's probably quite a few networks where 1.x.x.x is unreachab

Note that 9.9.9.9 is NOT a regular DNS service and does not give you an unrestricted view of the global internet domain name system. They match your requests with IBM's X-Force threat intelligence database and give you filtered results

Are any of these issues likely to lead up to an iOS exploit (or "jailbreak" if you will)?

Their "app store" is all the facebook app IDs that developers register to enable "login with facebook" and so on, in their own apps. Without an fb app, you cannot access the facebook api or sdk. For example, pokemon go m

Is the March 2018 update even out still? I thought they pulled it because it reconfigured all the NICs in the system, losing static IP configuration in the process...?

The Oracle JRE/JDK often includes commercial features that require premium licensing gated behind configuration parameters or command line parameters. It's nice to be able to install a JDK where you won't be charged oodles of

Are they pushing a commit to github every time someone downloads something, or is this download_counter something else? https://github.com/AdoptOpenJDK/openjdk10-releases/commit/44...

Eh, it doesn't sound too bad. There's already a myriad of meta data (HTTP request headers) you need to process today if you want to be a good HTTP citizen, such as acknowledging Accept-Encoding, HTTP byte ranges, If-Modified-Since

The big deal isn't what uber did or did not do with their magic provisioning profile. It's the fact that Apple apparently sometimes hands out god-mode provisioning profiles to 3rd party developers at all.

Apps written by "mere mortals" probably can't get that information. But there's a whole API called "CoreTelephony" that's mostly gated behind an entitlement, http://iphonedevwiki.net/index.

No you don't? If you click on a particular commit, you can click "View file @ HASH" and from the click the Blame button?

At least you can blame previous revisions of a file? Using an URL like gitlab.com/username/project/blame/COMMITHASH_OR_TAG/path/to/file

You already have to trust the TLD operators today, since a rogue one could reply to a CA's domain validation requests as they please?

I'm pretty sure that iOS renders UI on a single thread? You can't even create UIImageViews off the main thread without risking severe breakage. Fortunately, modern Xcode has an Analyze option that will flag attempts to access UI o

Because the gerrit workflow is extremely different from all other common git workflows (which is to say, you build a set of commits in your own branch or fork and ask the maintainer to pull it). Gerrit actively encourages you to rebase and

I wouldn't point to gerrit as an example of self-hosting git. Gerrit's "patchsets" and "change-id"s concepts, as well as the weirdo remote push refs, really turns the git experience into something... very diffe

Sounds like you just reinvented HTTPS with a null encryption cipher. I don't see how this makes anything easier or better.

A lot of ISPs, some huge like the "XfinityWifi" SSID, routinely inject their own javascript in HTTP pages. Some even take no care to namespace their javascript and wreck a party on your window globals, too.

I think you'd run into other problems then, for example if your test machine needs to communicate with https sites powered by letsencrypt, all those sites will appear to use certs that "expired" at least 9 months ago.

I'm happy with my choice to replace exim with postfix on all my debian/ubuntu machines. This is not the first time an exim 0day has surfaced while I can't recall the last time there was a remote exploit for postfix.

Objective-C is a superset of C though, so you might as well write the platform specific stuff in an .m file rather than messing around with the .c API for Objective-C. :)

And probably lost a ton of compiler assisted type checking in the process. I hope nobody considers doing anything remotely like this for any reason beyond learning a little about the low-level Objective-C machinery.

I seem to remember using dosemu on early Linux on the console, and was amazed at seeing my graphics card perform its POST BIOS run on-demand - the first few times, I thought Linux had spontaneously rebooted, but it was just dosemu getting r
