Otherwise known as the "TCP is a stream-based abstraction, not a packet-based abstraction" bug. A related one is failing to process the second of two complete commands that happen to arrive in the same recv() call.

Actual hardware "smart graphical terminals" that used that wire protocol were built for a while, too - I had some Labtam / Tektronix XP400 X11 thin terminals.

Yes, it was correctable errors I was thinking of. Not too surprising that they don't expose those statistics, I guess - it probably doesn't even count them.

If the CPU exposes statistics from the internal cache ECC, I wonder if you could use that as a rough radiation sensor?

"boot time plus random offset" is going to be just as much of a fingerprint as "boot time" is, though (the offset can't change once picked for a boot because the whole point is to be able to calculate the time betwe

Luckily the source tarball is the more important one to check, because that's the difference between backdooring one distribution and backdooring them all. It's still not trivial because there might well be legitimate processing s

No problem, we'll just rename every city to the latitude and longitude of the city hall, expressed to 3 decimal places and concatenated.

I have never seen anyone write "Prince's Hwy" (or "King's Hwy" for that matter), the apostrophe-free version would be far more common. The "Princess Hwy" thing is also common I think because the pronu

It's even banned in some Arab countries for being a security risk. This is a fact best appreciated in the context of the Sunni-Shi'a sectarian divide.

With hindsight it's not the runtime behaviour of the library that you'd want to test - the weakest point in the chain is where the distributed source .tar.gz can't be regenerated from the project repository.

That's a bit out of date. The Model 3 LR will do 300 miles in the real world, and it's not the longest range out there.

Yes, and it's not even like there was a prior plan to use two bombs and see what happened - the military was fully planning to continue the atomic bombings as the cores became available (the third expected to be available by late Augus

In the early 1980s, a couple of Australian banks took advantage of very low Swiss interest rates to offer a series of apparently cheap loans to small businesses and farmers, with the catch being that the loans were of course denominated in

Bundaberg would definitely be the most popular ginger beer brand in Australia, and their rum is so ubiquitous that you'll hear "bundy & coke" far more than the generic "rum & coke".

In the 80s Vegemite used to come in small glass jars with a press-on lid that were designed to be reused as drinking tumblers. It was common to see kitchen cupboards full of those tumblers.

A teaspoon of Vegemite, eaten rather slowly, took the edge off the worst hangover I've ever had.
