The future isn't evenly distributed. I recently discovered an actively developed software project that had a ton of helper functions based on the design of `gets` with the same vulnerability. Surprisingly not all C/C++ developers

By considering the facts of the matter, sure it's as you said. But if you ignore every detail then it does look like everyone is exactly as bad as each other and it's impossible to say anything is good or bad.

This seems pretty similar to Cloudflare Workflows ( https://developers.cloudflare.com/workflows/ ), but with code-rewriting to use syntax magic (functions annotated with "use workflow" and "use step")

Hasn't he been saying that OpenAI is going to shut down every year for the last few years now? And that models are never going to get better than they were in 2022? I think he's pretty clearly a grifter chasing an audience that wa

He didn't even necessarily say they were wrong about it. He just emphasized that their top priority was making sure they could score points from it: > We hit some new lows over the weekend with the MAGA gang desperately trying to ch

It's also important because sometimes you want a WebAssembly instance to hold a reference to a GC object from Javascript, such as a DOM object, or be able to return a similar GC object back to Javascript or to another separate WebAssem

It's a strategy that's worked out very well. Standards groups and browsers prioritize backwards compatibility very highly. It's hard to remember any real compatibility breakages in standardized HTML/CSS/JS features

If you had the dependency installed before this attack, then you would still be pinned to an old safe version.

by AgentME 1y ago
The browsers and standards groups do prioritize backwards compatibility and have done a very good job at it. The only real web compatibility breakages I know of have to do with pre-standardized features or third-party plugins like Flash.

Other people can run AppViews too (that operate over the same or different data). There are just less people doing that than hosting Mastodon instances partly because it's much more expensive to, because some of the benefits of hosting

React supports rendering to HTML ahead of time (SSR) which doesn't need any client-side javascript, and this is a prominent feature of most frameworks using React. This feature of React was one of its major innovations over many other

Why would Google want to bother? Who actually uses XSLT today for making webpages? Why should browsers spend effort on supporting XML+XSLT-based pages in addition to HTML+CSS-based pages?

Uh can't XML have whitespace throughout it just as much as JSON? They seem pretty similar in this respect. <foo bar="x" baz = "y" />

It's very nice to have an up-to-date writeup like this. I've gotten some odd looks for telling people that classic CSRF tokens are unnecessary work since the Origin header became widely supported, and I'm glad to have a page

Windows Vista got saner permissions support and made the OS survive certain kinds of driver crashes, but on launch a lot of existing software and drivers weren't updated to support those changes so it got a bad reputation. Nobody gave

Damn I misremembered, I've only tried it on Trezor, not Ledger. What I do know is I've successfully used my Trezor for signing in to Google and several other sites through one or both of Chrome or Firefox.

Passkeys on cryptocurrency wallets such as the Trezor and Ledger are tied to the device's seed phrase and can be backed up.

Rust doesn't protect you much further than most typed memory-safe languages do; it won't stop an LLM from writing code to erase your filesystem or from importing a library that sounds useful but is full of malware.

by AgentME 1y ago
I think Rust is a bad example, but I think the general idea that the design of a programming language can help with the weaknesses of LLMs makes sense. Languages with easy sandboxing (like Deno where workers can be instantiated with their o

Anyone can implement passkeys. The feature where passkeys can be made to attest to the hardware provider is optional and no site I've used requires it. Firefox defaults to not allowing passkeys to attest to the hardware unless you clic

A lot of people don't realize NodeJS was made because the creator wanted to make a runtime dedicated to asynchronous IO, didn't want to use a language with a pre-existing standard library and ecosystem built around synchronous IO,

The worklet API gives the browser the ability to spawn as many threads for the task as it wants when it wants, without needing to communicate and wait on the page's code in the main javascript thread each time.

by AgentME 1y ago
The HTML5 Canvas API can only be used in the main javascript thread, so whenever the page's javascript thread is busy with anything then the browser has to wait on that to finish before being able to have it update anything it rendered

In my experience, Safari has been the slowest to implement useful new standards and is the least transparent about bugs and development plans, so it's very hard to act like they're doing us a favor by preventing better and more op

Many people will downplay this, saying that the alt-righters on 4chan were only trolls, or were only a few people sockpuppeting to make it look like there were many, or that these people were already alt-right and that 4chan didn't act
