This still makes no sense. The business travelers are looking at a website with hundreds of hotels in the city they're going to. If you don't offer a twin room option, they don't think "well shucks, let's just get t

This continues to not make any sense. In most hotel pricings I've seen, twin rooms and double rooms cost the same. In fact, in the cheaper hotels, double rooms are just twin rooms with the beds bolted together (very annoying if you&#x2

This doesn't make any sense. In what way would it discourage you and your friend(s) from booking a standard twin room, if they don't tell you there's no bathroom door? Dr. Strangelove: Of course, the whole point of a

Yes, that's why I said "typically" and "rarely". You can specify a dependency version range in Maven artifacts. But the Maven community culture and default tooling behaviour is to specify exact versions. You can spe

Deciding to put your resources into something that only a really stupid criminal would be caught by gives you a false sense of security. Literally scanning for just "eval(" is entirely insufficient. You have to execute the code. T

It's very simple. ECC is well understood and has not been broken over many years. ML-KEM is new, and hasn't had the same scrutiny as ECC. It's possible that the NSA already knows how to break this, and has chosen not to tell

Static scanning won't help. You can write this["eval"]() instead of eval(), therefore you can write this["e" + "v" + "a" + "l"](), and you can substitute (!![]+[])[!+[]+!+[]+!+[]] for &

An example: Java Maven artifacts typically name the exact version of their dependencies. They rarely write "1.2.3 or any newer version in the 1.2.x series ", as is the de-facto standard in NPM dependencies. Therefore, it's

I agree, I feel much the same way about The Da Vinci Code. It's an interesting diversion to read, if somewhat poorly written, but the very first page listing "facts" rubs me up the wrong way because every claim on that page

You should read the Strange Case of Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde as a follow up. The original inspiration for it was Stevenson hearing about respectable pillar of Edinburgh society, William Brodie, being caught as a burglar, stealing to repay hi

Do you mean Firefox specifically? The reason most software is not "XDG-compliant" is because most software predates the XDG basedir spec which only came into existence in 2021 (edit: oops, that's just version 0.8; version 0.6

That's true, but they've already done it for macOS... ~/Library/Application Support/Firefox/ (for both the config and non-config data) versus ~/Library/Caches/Firefox/ (for cached data that

You think that's an important one? To me, that's just a creative liberty; the need for visuals in the seconds before the explosion led to a choice to visualise it like the top of a boiling kettle. To me, there are more substantive

Isn't this very similar to the 2020 paper that covered WhatsApp, Telegram and Signal? https://encrypto.de/news/contact-discovery What concerns me is that only thing stopping someone from enumerating the entire set

Yes, this is a very odd take. There are many other things in Legasov's tapes but not the miniseries, that very much get to the heart of the Soviet system of government. Where in the article is there space to discuss points like these?

One does not typically run games directly. That's fraught with the compatibility concerns you raise, and also the slowness of loading them from their disks, even when using an emulator, and needing a cumbersome UI to swap disks as need

That's true, but while they're cached, if someone else could see them , they're hosted, and you're liable for hosting them. I understand that Mastodon has a "local feed", and even if you're its sole user,

Even if you do that, you're still - legally speaking - liable for hosting all those federated messages. IANAL, but my understanding is the most effective way to run your own server is to have it completely hidden, e.g. behind classic

by amiga386 11mo ago
Though that will then open you up to legal liability, including for things that other people say (if their messages reach your server, even if you haven't personally seen them): https://denise.dreamwidth.org/91757.htm
