A 747 with 2 engines out that's already got some altitude and speed is much more "survivable" (still extraordinarily difficult) than a trijet trying to take off on 1 engine, which is impossible. Planes can safely land with 0

I've used the official Nvidia drivers on Linux for 5 years now and had excellent performance and few or no graphical glitches, with most issues coming early on. None within the last 2 years. Never experienced high CPU or freezing. My c

I have been waiting for this time to come. Microsoft clearly doesn't care about Windows very much, and Linux has never been more ready to break out in market share. Quite exciting to see!

It is without merit. There are more than a handful of modern internet companies running on Perl. Amazon runs a LOT of Perl for CDO. Who has scaled more than Amazon? This is a very ignorant take that selectively chooses to look at the fact t

I have a problem. I know, I'll post a dismissive, overly reductive platitude and farm points on HN. Perl 5 is a great language far ahead of it's time, it's extremely functional, and it still underpins many large and important

Nobody in the US uses these apps, and in my opinion, for the better.

"hey bro, just download this crappy totally trustworthy app and add me just to talk to me and only me!" is a patently ridiculous thing to try and sell people on.

That is also not what I said either, but I admire your dedication to engaging in bad faith.

Yes, "if your enemy is state sponsored attackers" you shouldn't do many things, like use bcrypt incorrectly, or really passwords almost at all. That's obviously not what I'm saying.

Okay. How many major wordlists include emojis? Maybe...like...a dozen entries at most across all of them?
311.
by arcfour 11mo ago
I would argue that a password containing emojis is unlikely to ever be cracked, because no attacker is going to test emojis unless they have some reason to believe you use them in your password.

In what way are DNS resolution and TLS related except for the little-used DoT?

I don't think that this is an indictment of creating the Jira ticket, or prioritization, or anything. It reads to me like a reminder that we often focus too heavily on the other work and thoughts that are adjacent to doing something, g

I hadn't installed a non-Play Store app for something like 5 years until this year. I don't see why I should have been forced to factory reset my phone then.

Some security is better than no security. It already took years to even get some of these backwards-thinking companies and services to adopt SMS OTP and it's simple for non-technical users to intuit. Also, believe it or not, some peopl

Yes, but it's often just "a W" or simply "W" in response to something good or seen as a "win." There is also the same thing with L for loss/loser. "that's an L take", "L [person]&q

Why be reasonable when you can just grandstand (about people that do actually provide you with funding) on Twitter? Surely that's more fun, right?

This take sounds great until you realize this is literally Google using their resources to help an open source project (by reporting issues in it that ALREADY EXIST and NEED to be fixed OR users made aware if not fixed) AND they also help t

It's not fair to classify it as a burden; it existed anyways, but now you have the work/issue identified.

It's funny, I am in cybersecurity but I have always liked keeping my laptop free of stickers. Always seemed like "trying too hard" to me. And as much as I love my laptop, much like my Fluke 87V, I value it as a tool, not a me

Why not just disqualify these obviously not in the top 100 domains that are cheating and also host malicious content which has the same effect...??

I just finished working at a small company like what you are probably describing. It was...horrific. But I try not to think about that anymore!

As discussed in the article, threat actors are using a botnet to game the system by repeatedly issuing queries for the domains; the list is intended to represent the top 100 domains resolved by legitimate users (and legitimate bots, I ass

I'm a security engineer, I have built things like this, and I made the original comment. A lot of my job revolves around developing automation for security needs. Also, many of the top 100 domains serve user-generated content (like AWS

If an automated service is pulling the top 100 domains from CF and naively trusting them, why can't it also pull the categorization information that's right there and make sure none of the categories are "Malware"??? W

That's rather rude of you, especially since I was actually a kid and grew up during the mass proliferation and ubiquity of social media, to suggest that I am "out-of-touch" compared to... you? (who are likely much older than

This is an overly simplistic, idealistic view of the world that leads to people thinking things like the OP are good and necessary. By recognizing that the world doesn't actually work this way at all—things aren't black and white,

Yes, cultures around the world have done this through parents parenting their child successfully, and not through arbitrary government overreach telling you how to parent.

I don't, but I do have friends, and did have friends when I was a kid growing up during the rise and proliferation of social media and the beginnings of algorithmic content distribution, so I am familiar with it.
