I tried this but found the shift between desktops far more jarring, people would definitely know you were up to sow thing if all of a sudden multiple monitors jump to a whole different set of windows, compared to just hiding one or two smal

Okay, so you do PoW in browser on CPUs - but that's likely much slower than a simple C implementation of the same algorithm and miles slower than a GPU, or worse, if it becomes really popular, dedicated ASIC. Not to mention with the cu

The problem arises because doing a signed comparison is just fine, but when you call malloc it gets converted to an unsigned integer and allocated. Meaning -1, which passes the signed check fine, becomes 0xFFFFFFFF as a 32 bit unsigned inte

Glad to see a big push for security updates directly from Google here, any further details on how this will be implemented and if device manufacturers will screw it up?

Okay what is the purpose of this even? Sure, everyone is going to talk about fingerprinting, but let's face it, there are way easier and more reliable methods of doing that than system libraries that mostly match between same devices.

Does any of that need to be? Consider the attack surface, none of that is regularly exposed to untrustworthy content. More relevant: Do I trust SSH? My browser?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the iOS sandbox also seems weaker - I've seen a few occasions in which calling undocumented functions can be all it takes to bypass protections significantly. I assume this is part of the reason Apple

Firefox also has a huge pile of spam on the new tab page by default. I wish they would just kill it already...

Sure, but you can do that with just your web server log.

I'm not a vape guy, but as far as I'm aware no combustion reaction is occurring, essentially it's boiling the substance at a far lower temperature than it would burn. Now, whether glycol and such are good things to inhale is

That fish farming sustainability article seems highly suspect to say the least, they're complaining about GMOs and such being "unsustainable" which is ridiculous. If anything GMOs are more sustainable in many ways, higher y

Is there a key to getting more into MMOs I'm missing? Once or twice a year I'll pick one up for a week or two and blow most of my free time on it... then get bored and move on to the next thing.
