Never saw /cgi-bin/ in a form URL? Or the occasional xycorp_isapi.dll? :)

Java is perhaps cumbersome to use at times (and especially in older versions), but it's not a complicated language, in fact it is a lot simpler than most.

By now I've experienced this several times; a story in WW1 or WW2 that's large and seems rather important, yet I've never heard of it before, and few others seem to have as well [1]. N.b. I'm German and we probably have

An (unfairly short) tl;dr could be that not only the memory subsystem itself can be used as a side-channel or leak, but also speculative and OoO execution itself. Speculative execution in this instance also does not consider (likely for per

DSL usually uses PPPoA (or PPPoE in a MPoA tunnel like below) over a subset of ATM (=DSL). PPP itself transports IP and provides configuration. When modem and router are separate, the modem only provides an MPoA tunnel to provide Ethernet a

POWER was historically the architecture for "I don't care about efficiency, I just want a fast machine!". This hasn't really changed. For some applications they are still substantially faster than any x86 system, but the

Some of these are pretty simple and not odd, e.g. immutability of tuples, iterator behaviour or modifying collections during iteration. ————————————————————————————————————— Somewhat related video: https://www.youtube.com/wa

The case of Thyssen is actually quite interesting, because he was an avid Hitler supporter in the early 1930s, but later heavily opposed Nazi policies and fled the country.

All elevators have multiple safety brakes working on their guide rails (this is the famous invention of Otis); so do these. Besides batteries lasting longer (two hours, they say) than the median European power outage.

Probably no one at ThyssenKrupp thought of that. You should write them a letter outlining your concerns.

Classic elevators also need a lot of floor space to achieve good throughput. This system is basically like a paternoster on steroids; it can rise much higher, move much faster, use arbitrary circuits and has none of the safety issues. Even
