Although the Trump administration has voiced a desire to extract themselves from the existing military engagements in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan, they have not yet done so. (As a side note, the previous administration also expressed a sim

You might have discovered a fast algorithm that doesn't actually reduce the asymptotic complexity (just flattens it out for a larger initial space), or the asymptotic complexity isn't what you think it is. This has little impact o

What features do you feel that Linux is lacking (or could be improved if you were willing to start from scratch and say to heck with backwards compatiblity)?

Europe mostly plays the good cop to the United States bad cop; the main problem arises when the US doesn't understand this.

That's pretty cool! I just transliterated the instructions into C macros; but i didn't bother with the jump tables. The nice thing with this approach is that you can mix vm instructions with c code freely; and get gdb support. I n

How did you implement the JUMP_TOP instruction? You need to jump to the x86_64 instructions that correspond to the given emoji index; did you implement a jump table?

LOL; I used split in the temp directory to create files of a single byte each and ran md5sum on them. That's quite a bit more straightforward :)

By the parent's logic, there's no concept of improving security, because if there remains attacks, then it is still not secure. You can't take a position of "it's either secure or it isn't."

This particular change got a hacker news article. It seems to be inherently more noticeable than others. Seems reasonable to ask about the performance (and memory) implications of the change. If they're minimal, than this solution can

> It's secure or its not. Then there is no concept of "improves" security. Either it is now secure or it is not. Do they have proof that there are now no side channel attacks that can be made on their software? EDIT: sigh

No; they weren't taken from the moon; they were taken from the Apollo 8 spacecraft, which was orbiting, so the Earth did in fact 'rise'.

Putting aside our disagreements on the moral equivalency of the Axis and the Allies; it is simply factual incorrect to claim that Dresden was done before any bombings on allied cities. The Blitz happened in 1940.

I would say that consumer computer software is the biggest threat to any security. Turns out that if you can compromise someone's phone, you have a window into everything that person does, sees, and hears; both online and off.

As the article points out, Github remains unblocked due to it's economic importance to developers, despite it hosting material such as the 996 protest. If Github were to be rebuilt in China, I do not believe that it would be redesigned

Interesting; looks like DirectoryQueue uses directories, rather than file locks (man 2 flock), to lock the queue messages. This might actually work, since mkdir returns an error if you attempt to create a directory that already exists. The
