Endpoint Security is a user framework, that's the point. You can write a driver in macOS. You have to write a driver for Windows, there is literally no other solution for real-time protection.

std::make_unique does the exact same kind of forwarding arguments to a constructor. Yeah it's important to know which constructor you're calling, but that's just a general fact, emplace_back isn't exceptional.

Windows eBPF support is experimental and currently provides hooks for packet filtering stuff and nothing else. I would be delighted if their long-term solution is eBPF which provides full anti-malware hooks, but again it's unfortunatel

Good terrain generation is not trivial, either at world scale or down at eye level. The straightforward approach yields what you see in the article, a craggy heightmap which looks like almost nothing in reality and isn't particularly i

I wish I could remember the names, but there have been a couple attempts at AI services which try to turn GitHub issues into pull requests. Their success rate is dismal. The vast majority of development work isn't creating slightly mod

Tabletop RPG books c. 1989 were doing all kinds of stuff with generic pronouns. I believe Vampire (1991) primarily but not exclusively used "she". Other games would use "she" for the GM and "he" for players, st

And Microsoft doesn't even offer the option of userspace anti-malware hooks, which they could easily do in conjunction with the kernel stuff. I think all they have is AMSI, which is only for scanning PowerShell scripts and such. If y

That probably explains how it got past internal testing. Something went wrong after that, during deployment.

What, the auto-updating part? Obviously the client is verifying signatures (or using TLS with a client certificate, whatever), not just accepting whatever random file comes down the pipe.

It's not an "app", it's a kernel driver. A serious driver bug is catastrophic in nearly any OS.

Of course there are plenty of self-hosting options if you want that responsibility, but a very rare outage of CI/CD doesn't seem like something that's worth spending resources planning around. On the scale of possible disrupt

Sure but your glass rectangle already has all the power and hardware features necessary to provide those other interfaces. Or more conveniently, a smart watch can relay queries to your phone. I sort of respect Humane for trying something ge

Godot uses source generators to fill out C# partial classes, so it doesn't quite have native F# support. You'd at least need C# shims for your types that inherit from Godot classes.

This was a pathetically weak case even without the misconduct, with the prosecution pretending to be horrified that Baldwin wasn't following typical gun safety rules like he was at a shooting range. As if he wasn't an actor relyin

Right, $3500 is a really clear signal that Apple knows what it's doing, that this is not even an attempt to be a mainstream product yet. Who knows if they'll succeed in the end, but this is just the beginning of a long term projec

I like the German doctors who offer acupuncture and aromatherapy and such. It's just as nonsensical, but at least it's probably relaxing.

HN always mentions Hetzner, but they're no longer an exceptionally cheap VPS provider. They're basically the same price as OVH. I forget when exactly they raised their prices, but it was several years ago.

The fundamentals of how computers work are essentially unchanged since the 60s or 70s. If you have a strong foundation (typically a CS or CE degree), picking up new stuff shouldn't be particularly difficult. I mean, I just had a PR mer

Finally. I think there have been proposals since C++17 at least, and all I really wanted is for them to solve the common problem of basic static reflection for enums (without hacks like magic_enum uses).

There are certain German words which are now often avoided because of Nazi associations (eg, Führer), but yeah Werwolf isn't really one of them.

The VS Code launch settings crap is a mess. But like as an editor, it's an editor. You can just use it like that. It works well and has good defaults, you can open a terminal with a hotkey, etc.

The DOSBox situation is so unusual. There hasn't been a new major release since 2010, and nothing at all since 2019. And yet it's still being sporadically worked on, so it's not entirely dead. To fill this void, there are thr

Obfuscation seems like a great way to get your developer account suspended. I suspect Apple is doing a lot more than just basic static analysis of the binary on disk. Glad they went with a config option instead.
