That doesn't make reviewing the POC any less valuable.

I'd imagine that at minimum, the team in charge of patching the vulnerability would need to review how the exploit works.

If you have a choice between posting minimized exploit code, and posting regular exploit code, posting minimized code is virtually always the wrong choice. If you have a choice between pointing out the byte size of the exploit, and not poi

Well, if you treat DOS as a bootloader for Windows 98 - which it was actually - then modifying autoexec.bat would count as setting up the bootloader.

No, I set it up. My parents were non-technical. I had a CD-ROM re-release of Worms for DOS from one gaming magazine or another. I guess the installer set it up somewhere somehow but I remember it wasn't easy to get it installed and the

For the humanity? Yes, it's generally good. For that particular researcher's career? Not really. Who wants to pay for research into something that's already known?

I basically had this setup back in the day. I don't really know how I ended up with it, I was 7 at the time and none of it was intentional - but my bootloader had two entries: I could boot into Windows 98, or I could boot into Worms.

Residential vs. business. If the graph was hourly and per country, you'd see the same rise every morning and drop every evening (likely by more than 5pp).

Umm... remember how people in late last century used to pay $30-50/month for cable TV that was at least 25% ads by volume? And that's in last century dollars, comparable to $100 today.

Firefox on Android has approximately 0.5% market share on mobile, less than Opera. I really doubt it's enough to spark any sort of industry-wide change.

Good abstractions translate directly into how quickly the devs can fix bugs and add new features.

As if `minimumReleaseAge` in `[install]` section of `.bunfig.toml` doesn't require the same kind of memorization.

Lol sure.

I'm old enough to remember computers being pitched as devices that can do tedious math for us. Now we have to do tedious math for them apparently.

The term jaywalking was invented (or possibly hijacked) by automotive lobbyists as part of a campaign in 1910s and 1920s to convince the public and the lawmakers that crossing streets outside designated points is bad and should be made ille

I always assumed contributing to RFCs is about as easy as contributing to C++, which I always assumed is virtually impossible without a billion dollars or a billion citations of your academic papers.

You're assuming wanting to watch something always leads to being satisfied after seeing it. Which is increasingly not the case. People are doomscrolling for hours, and then regret doomscrolling for hours rather than doing something mea

Or maybe it shouldn't take 10+ years to certify aerospace software.

A cursory glance at Wikipedia tells me the technology to make drones (I assume by drones you mean quadcopters) was well known all the way back in the 50s. You could say the technology ultimately ended as nothing but a toy, rather than start

Do you have any examples of 20th or 21st century breakthrough technologies that started out as toys? I can only think of 3D printers.

If engineering is about implementing the simplest thing then why do we call implementing the most complicated thing overengineering and not underengineering?

I wonder how well this works for you, considering screenshots are a thing.

They are creating this very surplus by firing 16,000 people who already did. And that's on top of all the mass firings last year.

Solid state is the superior technology for almost everything. No moving parts means more reliable, quieter, and very likely more energy efficient since no mass has to move.

SQL injection is possible when input is interpreted as code. The protection - prepared statements - works by making it possible to interpret input as not-code, unconditionally, regardless of content. Prompt injection is possible when input
