"Vulnerability" has a negative meaning, so let's name it in a positive way, like "jailbreak", "liberation" or something.

Where is the power grab? Everything is voluntary except for the requirement to support child mode.

No. SafeBrowsing is a black list, and it doesn't provide the necessary level of safety. I propose to use the white list. Also, SafeBrowsing works only within a browser and my proposal is to implement child mode system-wide.

This is a garbage UI and it looks like it was designed using "dark patterns" to ensure that nobody uses it. Look how many clicks (18 clicks, I counted) one needs to do in the correct sequence without a single mistake, and how many

Here's my idea how "safe mode" might be implemented without selfie, passport and without every app or website owner having to spend money on compliance. The mobile and desktop OS should have a checkbox "child mode"

Technically this is not a vulnerability because you need to be root. I would rather call it "taking back control of your hardware". SMM is an evil thing because the user cannot control it or look into SMM memory region. Why do CPU

Yes but an average man would lose to most of women in term of looks, style, clothes choice, skin care, makeup, hair, etc. If employers cared only about looks then they would prefer to hire women. Of course, it is possible that only women ge

Because many drugs have side-effects, and they are different for different people. So if a drug helps one person, it might harm another.

If looks are important for employment how then men find a job? Men are mostly unattractive even compared to not a perfect woman. In terms of looks and style, average man loses to an average woman. Or employers require only women to be attra

I think you do not need to register a patent, you can just publish the idea with a verifiable date, that could be considered as a "prior art". I would suggest to make a free website where anyone can publish any ideas although I do

I became curious how fast fdatasync (a better version of fsync) is, and asked LLM to generate a microbenchmark for me. The benchamrk accepts records size, number of records, opens a file, and appends records one by one, making fdatasync aft

No, using transactions won't change anything here. > do not use throwaway placeholder rows to imitate a single item The point of using multiple rows for one product is to distribute the locks.

On a large scale "rare" events happen every day. That is why people use locks and transactions or other measures. In case with shopify, they want to decide whether the user may place order or not, at the moment when the user click

The fsync policy equivalent to SQL database would be "fsync on each change before reporting successful update to the app". Redis (as many NoSQL databases) also doesn't have SQL and is a pain to view the data, you need to writ

I mentioned that Redis can write changelog (called AOF in the docs [1]). However, if you tell it to do fsync on every update (like SQL databases do), it stops being that fast and spends time waiting for the filesystem. Furthermore, the RDB

The item is reserved when the user decides to place an order, but before paying for it. Not when a product is added to the cart because the user can keep it there for a month and end up not buying. You reserve the product by creating an &qu

Redis doesn't have transactions and persistence. No persistence means the data gets lost if machine shuts down or process crashes. Furthermore, after restart you will need to regenerate the data which can take time. That's why Red

The problem is that in this case you have to do splits/merges. And while there are products that are sold by 100 units at a time, I think in most cases people by 1-2 items so the hassle might be not worth it. Also you might not underst

Could not they shard the inventory table by shop_id? As I understand, the order includes only items from one store, so there is no need to keep all the stores in a single table. Also, I wonder why they could not have a row status (available

This shows that large companies making closed-source CPUs cannot be trusted. No doubt they would add whatever the government asks them to add. What can be done to mitigate this? One option would be to buy a large FPGA and flash it with an o

The article is too long. Judging about beauty standards by using sex dolls as an example is not very smart, first, because they are targeted to a small niche audience with specific tastes, second, they do not look especially attractive in t
