I run it in a production environment (side project). I also use it locally when developing when necessary. It really does speed up loops by 5x or so. So when you're trying to say... test 100 million+ iterations of something, pypy will

That's a bit of my point. At any time your business model can get interrupted when you're doing things "that the big company isn't, but holds the gate to". Big company might get more aggressive and make your life ha

Smart of Beeper to accept an acquisition/exit as soon as possible before their product gets further eroded by non-public APIs they're reliant on. Tough to build a business where at any time your product can get wiped out by Apple&

There's some logic to hiding the identity... don't know who/who's family to hack/threaten? But, you can just target the 2nd, or 3rd in command it'll be just as effective really.... so I'm not sure what the

The love for Aldi must be very regional or personal. Because I walk into them and just see knock off snacks such as chips/poptarts, an aisle of rice and pasta, and an aisle of canned food items, and pretty much nothing else in them.

I don't know which users integrity checking the executable would be hostile against. But, I see your point that perhaps their reason for cert pinning is to defend against compromised CAs. It does fit the narrative better with their lac

Perhaps I'm a bit harsh... but my suggestion to fortune 500 tech company remains. Implement integrity validation as well, otherwise all it takes is editing 2 bytes to bypass your ssl pinning.

by eugenekolo 3y ago
There's no point in implementing cert pinning if you don't also have integrity checking... Being able to alter bytes in the physical file and running it should not be possible (without another bypass).

`int(a/b)` instead of `a//b` (for trunc to zero behavior. especially important when working with c or disassembled code)

Doesn't seem that difficulty to get $50/yr when Xbox Live itself is around that price. Add in selling games... Add in microtransactions... And I'd wager it's close to $200/yr they get from every single Xbox owner.

Haven't heard of htmx before, but I might use it on a future project if I remember. As somebody who is not a frontend engineer, but still likes to make a website every now and then. I haven't found a full framework (vue, react, et

Always surprised when some of these sites shut down. The operating cost seems low and putting on a few ads (ethical, non-intrusive, etc.) can net you passive $100+/mo.

A build step is fine. I think the point misses the real issue: that build step changing every 6 months in the web world.

I think it could be good for games you have a continuous account in, but sometimes want to play on PC, and sometimes on your phone. The better games have some account login and online synchronization... but also requires sometimes buying t

I had this happen to me about a year ago when this first rolled out in the US on Pixel Devices. My phone's power button was broken and kept toggling (still is). So, one day after this update, it ended up calling 911 on me and I had to

I can't believe that. There's still so many personal blogs by real people. They just don't show up in the first 3 pages unless you query for them very specifically. Seems most queries result in something like 30% SEO spam sit

The gaming of the system is the reason they rescores themselves and do not take a vendors statement as fact. There's a long history of vendors underreporting and underscoring their security issues.

It's a social and economic problem. The NVD and CVE teams are very low staffed, with people who get a large amount of reports every day. There is no way they can process each report as thoroughly as people want them to while reporting

I feel like I'm on crazy pills when I complain about these things and all the other intrusions Windows pops up at me every time I use the operating system... Yet, the people who use it (mostly gamers), seem to think it's all fine

I'd say exact value versus % can be more meaningful in many non-billion+ companies. Understanding you saved $1M/yr means you're closer to profitability (I understand in the VC world all you really care about is % growth, but

I found those definitions to be a weird line. But, I believe the overall premise is you use types for large projects that many people will be interfacing with and making small changes to. You go cowboy when it's some fun scripts.

Layoffs typically go like 7%... then you get another 1-2% of people who jump from the sinking ship. Then you get another round of 5%.. and another 1-2% who jump from the sinking ship and end up at a nice round number like 15%. Looks better

I'm honestly surprised they're not profitable. The cloud tax and cost to acquire new customers is just too high I guess.

Culture in a lab I worked at was to bring donuts in when you messed up. I don't think this is "celebrating" failure, so much as a fun way to say sorry for messing up.

This one's pretty fancy from the big GPT. ``` Here is an example of Python code that can print a loading bar at different completion percentages: def print_loading_bar(percent): bar_length = 20 hashes = '#' * int(perc
