That decision is as exactly as legally binding as the signs on trucks disavowing liability for falling debris. Banks might be trying to pretend Zelle isn't covered by Regulation E, but I haven't heard any good argument for why it

I'm reminded of when key fob range extender attacks became common, security people were talking about faraday cages, removing batteries every night, encryption, more complex protocols, and all sorts of crazy stuff to try and protect ag

Thank both of you for proving my point that you all will irrationally argue "any even marginally imperfect security is completely and utterly pointless" in literally any context. Worrying about criminals jamming wifi is the distra

Criminals (and cops and reporters...) aren't the most tech-savvy, so it's useful to know when possible attacks are actually used. Like, it took over a year (and it going viral on TikTok) for thieves outside Milwaukee to catch on t

There's not really any reason for modern general-purpose CPUs to specialize for IPC lower than 1 like what Cray did. CPUs need wide frontends to execute existing scalar code as fast as we're used to, and if you're not reusing

Practically, clawing back overpaid compensation from an uncooperative former employee requires a lawsuit with a chance of the employee winning, and has the potential to be more expensive anyway than however much could be recovered. But, c

Nationwide, at least 60% of stolen vehicles are recovered. CA, which has a 90% overall recovery rate, breaks it down further that motorcycles have under a 60% recovery rate, commercial trucks have an 80% recovery rate, and everything else i

The smaller speakers in a TV naturally compress the dynamic range because they can't get loud, and especially can't get loud in the lower frequencies that travel more easily through walls. Getting good speakers actually makes th

V1 already had 4 128bit pipes, SVE just used two simultaneously. The only real gain in benchmarks on V1 with 256bit SVE over 128bit NEON was in load-heavy kernels that were bottlenecked by the 5-wide decode, and weren't saved by the MO

Out of curiosity, I followed the wifi citation [1], and at a first reference it comes from the 1byte model on the page, which gives a simple Wh/byte figure. Which in turn appears be derived from the 5th spreadsheet by taking the total

Just because you’re shallowly dismissing my comment doesn’t make it wrong. Linking in code with undefined (in this case, re defined) behavior doesn’t automatically invalidate the entire program. But thats the language used because once the

Why not simply replace all FP math with a constant zero? That’d be really fast and an equally valid strict interpretation of “can result in incorrect programs.”

In addition to the boring “99% of people are uniquely identified by where they spend the most time at 2am and 2pm,” the linked EFF dive [1] says that they let federal agencies look up each device’s advertiser ID and other device info that m

…how exactly is that different from lying in your mind? “Not credible” as far as proving that the plaintiffs acted fraudulently, which is a far cry from the plaintiffs proving that his allegations were false.

Why would you jump to “he’s lying” and not “he’s mistaken”?

This is why the US sensibly protects opinion (this company committed fraud) based on disclosed facts (they charged me for siding I did not order), and flips the burden that the plaintiff has to prove the defendant knew the purported facts w

I recently did some similar optimization of something that had already been written in hand-tuned asm. I wasn't able to get any real improvement on the CPUs the asm was originally written for (5+ year old Cortex CPUs), but I did get a

It's not; Qt helpfully started the polling automatically when a QNetworkAccessManager was instantiated. Which is needed for network access via Qt, such as fetching ads for the free version.

Yes, this exact QT bug also affected macOS - https://lostdomain.org/2017/06/17/qt-qnetworkaccessmanager-c... At least it finally got fixed after 6 years...

Keeping a existing binaries working is the definition of backwards compatibility in an OS. glibc broke that. Never Change Anything is far from the ask here. The ask is that when real actual breakage is found, the benefits of keeping s

I don't think anyone is proposing to eliminate support for --hash-style=both. Correct me if I'm wrong? So at this point, the maintenance burden on glibc is however much effort they want to spend justifying breaking backwards compa
