>We did some drills with our own Patriot air defense units and they said they had to set their radars so low they were picking up big birds. I wonder if anyone has ever accidentally radar-locked a missile onto a bird and shot it down.

How does defining God a certain way lead to the idea that God must exist? That doesn't work for any other definitions. A lot is being packed into the words "greatest" and "better". Premise 1: I define "Foo&quot

He's doing the password reset flow from his own device, and receives a link to the form containing the session id and his device id. He doesn't need to bruteforce those. Instagram had a limit on the number of times that the user c

There was a limit, but a race condition allowed the limit to be bypassed.

Having more information isn't always better. Imagine if our language had pronouns that told you the race of the person, or whether they had a beard or not. A culture that primarily used pronouns like these would probably develop very s

It's probably easy to do if you know it's an issue to begin with. I've run into this scenario before (running sql queries to read data that turned out to lock everything) and it caught me by surprise. Why would a read query c

I believe the Switch works fine if you plug a macbook charger directly into it (I do this frequently with no problem), but it may break if you plug a macbook charger into the Switch's dock and power the Switch through that.

I've implemented the behavior of "scroll the field down while the user is holding something selected" before, and my initial implementation had this bug, so I think I can explain a likely reason this happens. My code listened

Even if you corrected for that, I would still expect this to be true. A potential RCE in C/C++ is literally as easy as writing past the end of an array or writing to a pointer to something that's already been freed. Few other lang

If Reiki isn't a psychosomatic effect, then there must be some possible test to differentiate them. I don't mean this just in some abstract definitional way, but in a pragmatic way too: if there's no imaginable test that coul

I think this is part of why I love games that have a constant stream of user-made levels. Many of my favorite experiences in Halo are when I'm playing a match on a Forge (user-created) level that no one in the match has seen before and

I don't think it's particularly bad for this use-case: the easy failure scenario someone can do now is that a site operator could make two URLs that the extension considers to be the same and shows the same comments for, and the w

It doesn't block it because it's generally not active on all pages of a site. The description of v3 sounds more like Google Analytics and will probably be treated similarly.

Sure, if your 2D or 1D world is started from a pattern designed by an intelligent being, then they could make a starting pattern that simulated a 3D world. But the more interesting question is whether life could arise in a 2D or 1D world th

Enclaves don't get direct IO access and have to interact with code running on the main processor. I'm okay with opaque code if it's running in a tight sandbox and its interactions to the outside world (including my filesystem

I haven't followed Golem or processor news closely, but I assume a future generation of processors will fix the side-channel attacks (either in general or at least just for secure enclaves), so I think it still makes a lot of sense to

by AgentME 7y ago
Also reminds me of the Golem project, which wants to allow everyone to be able to sell their compute power and uses secure enclaves so the people who sell their compute power can't spy on the data of the submitted compute jobs. I find

32-bit binaries have a different ABI. I think you could put 32-bit code in a 64-bit process and have it use the 32-bit API, but then you still need a set of libraries that work with the 32-bit ABI. Ubuntu is just discontinuing packaging the
