A fair comparison would include the cost of the DBA who will be responsible for backups, updates, monitoring, security and access control. That’s what RDS is actually competing with.

Even if you ignore all technical problems - the problem with electronic voting is that it provides a breeding ground for conspiracy theories. Even if an election is run perfectly legitimately, bad actors can make credible-sounding claims ar

I must say this is something that showcases NixOS very well. This is all it takes to start a nginx server. Add this block and everything starts up perfectly first time, using proper systemd sandboxing, with a certificate provisioned, and wi

This is a pretty poor example for a few reasons, but the idea is that anyone get can a shell with the tool fully installed along with all its dependencies, with a single command: nix shell 'git+ https://tangled.sh/@oppi.

Minecraft was already wildly successful before a second employee was brought on board. As someone who was a teenager at the time, I can tell you that from 2009-2010 my friends and I talked about little else. None of the later updates fundam

I have the same memories. Obviously we can never know for certain but if notch had decided not to hire anyone and continued to work on the game himself, I’m very confident it would have eventually made a billion. The core game hasn’t change

Ahh that makes a lot of sense, thanks. I hadn't considered how elegant it is that the fund stays balanced without trading.

As someone who knows very little about finance, is there any ETF available which acts as a middle-ground between market-cap weighted and equally-weighted funds? The very high concentration of tech and AI in the S&P 500 at the moment mak

I hadn’t had “that funny feeling” [0] for a while but yep that sub hit me like a truck. It’s worth bearing in mind that it’s fairly small as subreddits go, I guess. [0] https://youtu.be/ObOqq1knVxs?si=N5iqaCi5KZer0tsV

Last week I tested out the agent mode of chatGPT by asking it to plan a week's meals, then add all the ingredients to an online shopping basket for me. It worked pretty much flawlessly, the only problem was it ran out of time before it

It seems to require iOS 18.6, it’s working for me after updating.

Most of those numbers aren't possible to change, 80x80 is the output size, %10 is the input size. Changing any of the other numbers would surely impact the function of the program, I don't think you could get to a 40 bit brute-for

Thinking about it more, I guess you can just change the single-letter variable names and positioning to quite easily get up to a 40 bit brute-force.

by bspammer 1y ago
I still don't understand how it works, the source code doesn't have any obvious sections to insert data for brute-forcing. I'm as confused as the judges: > There are no magic numbers in the program, and bits of the input m

It’s definitely tempting, but I prefer not to piss off people who are already being actively malicious.

I don't see any sense where syntactic sugar is not part of the language. I don't really care about how it works behind the scenes, the syntax is the part that I touch as a programmer.

I disagree with GP, it’s much more like Haskell than JavaScript. Function application is whitespace, functions can only have one argument, everything is an expression, let blocks are the way you define and scope variables. I see very little

The best antidote to this kind of thinking is to realise you would have been tempted to sell so may times over the last decade, that there's close to zero chance that you'd still be holding it today. To make a lot of money with bi

Kotlin and even modern Java are both preferable for me. There’s no shortage of JVM roles.

Yeah that surprised me too - I would have assumed that ZFS had a bunch of "store and retrieve" tests in many different configurations that would have caught this.

units has (I assume room temp/pressure) densities for all elements, as well as some precious metal prices and currency exchange rates (you need to run the units_cur program regularly to update the database for these). It also has tab c

It's unexpected to me that someone with the technical knowhow to build spyware like this and a nice web interface for it, made basic mistakes like storing passwords in plaintext and piping unescaped user input into database queries.

That makes sense to me for any image you want to share publicly, but for private images having the location and capture time embedded in the image is incredibly useful.

This is a feature that could probably be added to sponsorblock. They have the data already.
