Not allow user processes to recover from a SEGV. The attack depends on a signal hander that traps the signal and resumes execution. If this is disabled then the attack will not work. This would affect two types of systems: 1. Badly written

Isn't that the point of Economics2.0, we should assume that the devs have read Accelerando and are investing heavily in lobster as we speak.

To some extent what you say is true, but only partly. I'm not part of the cult of the "rockstar programmer". I do write a lot of good code, and I tend to do it much faster than other programmers that I work with. But programm

Not at all. I do keep part of the code that I write secret. This is not a form of sabotage. My employer likes the fact that the things that I am responsible for run smoothly.

While that would be true of IP in the US, it is not true where I live and the scripts belong to me.

Not only do I believe that my job can be automated - I've spent years trying to do just that. Of course, I wouldn't be giving the scripts to my employer, just spending more time doing other things...

How is your opsec - i.e. do you vary your purchasing pattern, using random numbers to pick intervals between purchases and a variety of vendors? I only ask, because routing everything over a VPN provides the illusion of privacy while flippi

What's wrong with NAS? I bought a Synology to work with a mixture of mac/linux/win machines and it worked fine out of the box.

Your argument was that poor old dears were hurtling along unable to stop in a reasonable length, only able to "gently coast to a stop". You are now arguing against your own point. I do drive, and when I do so I rely on the experie

Nobody should be travelling at a speed that is beyond their own ability to stop. Cycling at a speed beyond any individual's threshold for safely braking is putting themselves in danger. This applies equally across all levels of traini

Why are only agile young males capable of steering to the left and right while cycling? Surely other categories of cyclist are capable of doing this. If any cyclist, regardless of age or gender, is unable to plot a safe path and follow it a

It's been a few years since I've downloaded a torrent. Spotify and Netflix are more convenient for me. My own routine was a VM purely for running a client in a VPN-only environment, tables to drop all non-VPN traffic and file tran

I maintain a web-application by myself: I choose the platform and exactly which bits I wrote myself, and whre I pulled things in from other sources. It still sucks. The target environment is undefined. In most programming problems we start

It will be interesting to see what they produce. The market for external lens is quite varied now on previous iphones. A lot of the processing they are introducing on the new phone will be tuned for the characteristics of the two lenses. I

But that does not provide any substance to the opinion that it will be good.

Until the new iphone is actually iut in the wild, or Apple release sone real sample images - how could this speculation possibly be substance rather than marketing?

There is another interesting idea buried in there: switch from a "lottery" to a "raffle" (their terminology). Or in more standard terms - change from a winner takes all distribution of rewards to a proportional distribut

As a child of the 80s logo was one of the first languages that I learned. Although the relative motion was difficult to understand, and functions seemed to be impossibly hard - they worked eventually. 15 years later when I encountered funct

So again you are arguing that they are trying really hard. What does that have to do with whether or not this generation is above the trend-line or not?

As I said above: there are two separate issues. Whether or not it is hard to deliver the same (relative) improvement in each generation. Whether or not Nvidia have delivered an improvement in line with their normal trend, or whether they ha

Depends on which figures you look at. http://www.techspot.com/article/928-five-generations-nvidia-... has a reasonable comparison. Varies between 20-50% over the range of that sample. The increase in performance betwee

I have not said the engineering work is automatic. It is not too far from the area that I work in, and I am up to date in the subject. The performance gains for this generation of cards are in line with the existing trend, they are not part

Do you think this is any different from the trend in the past five generations from Nvidia?

About 50-60% faster than a 980-ti / old titan. Quite pedestrian for a generation of cards.

Quite the opposite actually. Once you have clearly separated the Inside from the Outside it becomes much easier to blame the Outside. You are making the implicit assumption of "without going too far". But once a racist succeeds in

Yes there is - it does not mean that you can on holiday without a passport. It means that you had the right to live and work there.

To avoid larger losses later on. Tarrif prevent relocation if industry to cheaper working environments. Why would the EU want cheaper business in the UK ti compete with an advantage?
