Except that any process that has obtained root (through a security flaw or otherwise) can extremely easily hide itself, as shown here. I will admit that it's likely that the same thing could be done with loadable kernel modules, that s

Even then, though, the output could change drastically based on a single change to the input (such as a comment). That's not something you want in a compiler.

Plus, these models are entirely black boxes. Even given weights, we don't know how to look at them and meaningfully tell what's happening - and not only that, but training these models is likely not cheap at all. Stable output is

Oh, they might have been. The joke might have gone completely over my head when I said that! Still though, it sounds like "comma,nds" would be a good compromise either way.

Publishing on F-Droid is good, but that presumably depends on releasing your app as open source/FOSS, which is not something every app creator will want to do.

Extension IDs do not change, in my experience. (I could be wrong in some cases, but I know for a fact that at least one extension I've used has been bought up without the ID changing.) It seems to me that if they did change, it would d

This is a cool idea! However, I have a couple of reservations: 1. Firstly, the JavaScript code in the release version of the extension is 12MiB. This is a lot of code, with much of it in a bundled form, making it very difficult (if not al

Thank you for the reply, and sorry for my delayed response. I actually meant being in VATSIM from the ATC side of things, not as a pilot! (Since the ATC side is all volunteers as well.) You seem to be describing how a pilot would be on VATS

I've been intrigued by VATSIM for over a decade now, but never tried it for a few reasons, including: * I don't think I would handle stressful situations very well. * I have no experience on either side, and find it difficult to g

It might be worth looking at the decompiled app code some more and seeing if it contains any clues as to the type of command you may have sent, just in case it happens to be some command used for updating the firmware or something. It proba

I'd also be interesting in seeing the raw .gif file - as a hobbyist wannabe researcher myself, I'd love to investigate this.

But there are duplicates. There are a vast number of cases where a domain name under one TLD isn't held by the same person/company who holds the same domain name under another TLD.

TLDs can be thought of as namespaces, and they have good reason to exist. For one thing, changing how domains work like this would massively drive up the cost of any one domain to the point where hobbyists and open-source projects would be
