It also allows you to have "1 hour" classes that are at 10am and 11am, and you aren't forced to leave early or arrive late. A 5m gap isn't enough for huge numbers of classes in many campuses.

They're closer to a client side certificate - you never send the server your passkey, you sign data that proves you have it without exposing it. (Or something semantically equivalent anyway) Other than that, which is mostly only a bene

One of those "obvious in retrospect" designs, neat. Makes me wonder if there are complications to doing it this way, or if everyone else just likes selling more complete packs than necessary.

Capabilities are what lets you open a file picker from an app that cannot read your files , giving you a seamless and secure interaction with no extra UI. They are definitely not always awful.

Last commit: 2018 Readme: > Note: TypedRuby is not currently under active development. I think "brief check, move on" is reasonable, particularly if it doesn't appear to already be at several-year-stable quality.

It's essentially a column-oriented sqlite, so it's much faster for some kinds of queries. There's a big market for that category of queries, and nobody wants to run their own hadoop cluster to do single-machine-scale stuff.

Yup, pretty much. Which makes me wonder what the actual goal is, especially since they've had vulnerability scanning for years iirc

If you're not an app that's intentionally risking your users' safety though, you probably have some reason to trust the ad vendor to do their part. It's calculated risk for most non-malicious apps, and the major vendors

Mobile has unbelievably smaller attack vectors due to the hefty sandboxing, as long as you're doing normal things and not including a bunch of janky ad libraries. You're largely just contacting APIs you control and not running

As much as I greatly prefer context-based grouping when I can get it, I find it breaks down in a few significant ways: Contexts are not always (or even usually?) hierarchical and distinct. This leads to constant variance on if your IAM cod

If that's the thing Google is trying to address, they can easily incentivize it - Java apps are usually quite easy to decompile and check. Search for library versions in use, force upgrades on security vulnerabilities. But they're

Yeah, at that point to might as well just turn off the servers. It's even cheaper at cutting off requests, and it'll serve just as many legitimate users.

Impressively accurate - Android phone in Firefox <-> Chrome on OSX == basically perfect to my ear. That's super cool, thanks for sharing!

When the broken record keeps predicting the future accurately, it's not claiming to be the next Nostradamus. History just repeats pretty consistently.

People use Microsoft open source stuff, definitely. It's fairly often decent or better. But Microsoft's most consistent legacy across its entire existence has been Embrace, Extend, Extinguish. Any Linux-supporting project is di

To within a rounding error of zero, I don't think anyone outside Windows devs truly expects Microsoft to maintain .NET on other platforms, so it's not really an option in many (most?) fields. They've effectively dropped it a

Everything is hard until it's not. Invisible electromagnetic waves are invisible (hard) and frequently deadly (hard!), but now we have WiFi, cell phones, GPS, xrays, etc. Superconductivity is absurd magic and took impossibly low temper

This might be the best use of HDR I've ever seen. And will continue to see for quite some time when my eyes are closed.

@dang the title rename seems worse: "you're probably ..." is rather meaningfully different than "breaking the ..." as the latter sounds like it's instructions on how to "break the ..."

Maybe somewhat, but it's not hard to get pathologically bad GC behavior out of generational GCs either. Pools / manual memory management will always have some reasonable use cases.

Since you're in here, if I can recommend: sync.Pool with non-fixed-size objects is a source of many problems. https://wundergraph.com/blog/golang-sync-pool as a decent overview, and https://github.com&

It absolutely helps , but this is about whether it's truly needed or not. I think there's overwhelming evidence that it's not truly necessary.

This is definitely how my brain works. I'm either absorbing words that are said, or I'm writing - when I multitask here, my retention plummets like a rock. Shocker, that. Multitasking worsening performance? Surely that can't

Compressing accurately requires understanding what's important. If you understand it that well already, why are you attending a lecture that covers it? Truly excellent lecturers can often guide some people to that understanding in a
