Had they had unit tests, this would never have gotten that far. Have unit tests!! Could you do other things with those credits, like use them in the cafeteria or resell them? Why were they so frantic to close the loophole?

It's not about being asked for an email. It's about being lied to. You wouldn't be OK with the New York Times writing that Putin died of a heart attack when it's not true. Why would you be OK with this kind of deception

Maybe it's me but I wasn't shown a free ebook. I was shown a "give me you PII so I can spam you" trap website. If you ask me to give you my PII then it's not free, is it? Are you not aware how many "free ebook&

I have a hard time understanding what the article is trying to tell me. As soon as you have components talk to each other over IPC, you pass strings of bytes. It does not matter whether you create a nice abstraction class around a string. O

That was my first reaction as well but then I realized I can't actually read the article as Wapo gave me a paywall nagscreen that had no X button. Might as well not have written the article in the first place. Media is eating itself. A

Please choose more descriptive titles for your submissions here, people. Some dude I don't know is porting a game I know nothing about to a language I know nothing about and his reason is "because I feel like it". He has grie

Oh boy. This is actually a good point. I guess having the nondescript error message has always been "best practices" or maybe it has crossed the road and has become cargo cult now.

I should add that one consequence of this is that bankruptcy carries a real stigma in Germany. If you defraud people and can't pay damages and have to declare bankruptcy, you can't just change your name and continue defrauding peo

Do put this into perspective a bit: The 25000€ are the capital up to which you limit your liability. Yes you have to have it because you are liable up to it. GmbH is not just a promise that you won't be liable for more. It is also a pr

This argument may make superficial sense if you talk about a library, which is not the case here. The AGPL does not prevent Amazon from linking their proprietary code with mold. It prevents you from selling a linker service that is built on

Excellent point, it might run counter to the idea of building exactly as if on that platform! Didn't think of that.

I love mold and wish the author all the best, but I don't think this will work. First of all, the usual suspects who rip off high quality open source projects have been known to just create a fork if the license changes (see Amazon and

Oh it's just an ad for some app. Here I thought he was actually writing things in actual Obsidian. That would have been actually interesting.

New code is not cool. Today's new code is tomorrow's legacy code. It will need updates, security vulnerabilities will be discovered in it, and it will break occasionally or maybe lose data. Someone will have to maintain it. People

Hi Bryan, thanks for the talk. I think we are saying the same thing just from a different point of view. Your approach is very laudable and I have in fact been fanboying it for a while. I wish you the best of luck and profits for your compa

I expected to like this talk much more than I actually did. Basically what they did is do a reverse engineering and replay attack on a boot sequence that is already so convoluted that the company that built it didn't think that would b

Isn't this the company world famous for not delivering upon their breathless hype for over a decade? They remind me of Star Citizen. Both have been fundraising since 2010.

I find the vpmullq part the most stunning. This instruction is used in some bignum code, for example if you are implementing RSA. Yet AMD implemented it three times faster than Intel. I'm also fascinated by AMD now making AVX512 worthw

Denuvo "copy protection" is so universally loathed by PC gamers that several publishers have ended up removing it in updates to their games, for example Mass Effect Legendary Edition. https://www.nme.com/news/

This suggestion makes things worse. If you make a service and ask for email validation, you want validation that the user has that email address. Since anyone can spoof e-mails from any address, getting an email from the address is not vali

You are right, I was not aware of that! This way may actually have advantages over vDSO. Maybe you can set up IV and key with the kernel and then let the kernel do the crypto without having to have them in user space memory anymore. That wo
