As far as I am aware TfL still desperately wants to do this -- the Northern line is one of the busiest on the system and the switching south of Camden Town is a chokepoint. The problem is that if that were done today, Camden Town would inst

I'll be watching this with some interest. A couple years ago I tried using some of the x86_64 assembly versions of inflate_fast() and longest_match() but found them to be subtly buggy -- they'd both sometimes do reads outside of

The problem is that they're probably nearly all life-threatening (or at a minimum longevity-threatening) in high enough doses. Fully permitted-doping would escalate into a bloodsport where athletes would be competing to show how many d

A few recommendations from the peanut gallery: 1. The files have .cpp extensions, but they seem like plain C other than static_cast/reinterpret_cast? For integrating with other software just using C would be better. Use 'export

Yes, exactly. Maybe an example that's easier to visualize is when you learned to do arithmetic as a child. If I gave you a bunch of numbers to add like 57, 9, and 318 the first thing you would do is right justify them all. For any

Probably the bigger problem is that the more money you'd be willing to pay to get rid of ads, the more your eyeballs are worth to a potential advertiser. You're demonstrating that you have disposable income that you're willi

With browsers supporting TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV the SSL3 risk isn't that great since an MITM attack can't force a downgrade. Therefore SSL3 should only end up being used by old clients that don't support anything newer. Organizat

It's perfectly normal (and allowed) for servers to send back a version string of "HTTP/1.1" even if the client sent the request as "HTTP/1.0". As long as they don't do anything in their response that

Most well-behaved servers will only send chunked-encoding if the client claimed to be HTTP/1.1. If the client is HTTP/1.0 it will fall back to doing "Connection: close" The only big thing chunked-encoding gives you is t

Exactly. Worse, it trains users to ignore cert warnings. I don't have any problems with the campaigns to make the public internet HTTPS-only. However, for software inside an intranet, or software that just wants to expose an interfac

by bodyfour 12y ago
That's not completely accurate about HTTP/1.0. It's true that HTTP/1.1 requires "Host:" (a compliant server MUST reject any request from a 1.1 client that lacks that header). However, HTTP/1.0 clients ha

I agree -- visually judging outliers is a pretty poor test of statistical significance. The fact that they sat near each other does give them some weight though. The big problem is that it only works for people who share a fairly unique an

A good start would be to not let students pick which seat they take the test in. They can still attempt to copy their neighbor's work but can't collude with someone to make it easy.

Not any worse than installing an RPM/deb (which includes an embedded preinstall script) Or the normal "./configure / make / make install" pattern which gives a malicious distributor lots of boilerplate to hide

I would make a less-strict statement that "Undefined behavior should be reserved for cases where there might be some advantage for an implementation to do it a different way." For memcpy it's never safe for it to access the

Ugh.. I'm generally in favor of the recent compiler optimizations dealing with assuming undefined behavior isn't triggered (although it has broken a lot of code that had made poor attempts at overflow checking, mine included) I t

Shellshock was a big deal because the attacker only needed to control the value of an environment variable, not its name. There are many vectors to provide a string that will end up stored in some environment variable, far fewer that will

Some inaccuracies in the timeline. Solaris 2 (the sysv one; the BSD SunOS 4 was after-the-fact renamed to Solaris 1) didn't ship until 1993, not the 80s. Also he says that gcc's support for 68k was important but Solaris never ra

I don't mean to defend the Latin crowd here, but your argument is flawed. It's true that English historically comes from the Germanic side of the tree -- starting with Old Frisian with later Old Norse influences. However, the las

Classic UNIX behavior was that environment variables were public (any user could see them with the right flags to "ps") so it was well-known not to put anything secret there. Most (all?) of the current brand of UNIX variants have

In HTTP/2 (SPDY) the only headers that need to be sent are ones that changed since the last request on the connection. So once that is more common you'll actually be better off just attaching the cookies to all requests since tha

I'm generally in agreement, but it's hard to say what languages will be considered "company-specific" in the future. Go back in time 35 years and C could have been called that "AT&T specific language" Or t
