It would have been nice if this went to trail, though I can understand why they decided to settle. It would have been a mud fight. Still, it would have been nice to get some light on both parties. It would also be nice to know what the fina

I can say Pi = 3 and be accurate but not precise. I can say Pi = 3.0000004 and be precise but not accurate. But that's not where the confusion comes from. It comes from measuring equipment. Example, if I have a scale that is sensitive

I thought yams and sweet potatoes were the same thing for many years. I have told people that they were the same thing, because that is what I believed. My thoughts were reinforced that in common American English we refer to both with the s

Don't work for GitHub, but it would not. First, it opens a Pull Request, not an automatic merge, so hopefully the code is reviewed before merge. To exploit this, you would first need to get malicious code merged into rails master which

There are three things at play. 1. Styrofoam cups are good heat insulators, so touching the cup does not communicate how hot the contents are. 2. Management intentionally made the coffee too hot. Making the coffee too hot to drink meant peo

What I really want is for Nix or something like Nix to become standard. We can very easily mimic flatpak and snap by wrapping a nix closure in bwrap. You can have the choice to sandbox it or not with Nix. And you can easily compose it with

That is indeed the goal, they explicitly want to break compatibility. Their responses on the mailing list even say that. GPL or GTFO. It's a definitely annoying as a user. OpenZFS is much nicer than BTRFS, but you have to accept that b

I'd buy that for a dollar! In all seriousness, they are also buying the all the liabilities and illiquid assets. So current value wise, this seems about right. However long term, a lot of these customers will stick with HSBC and may ge

I saw this too, but both the title and your command don't work to play the game. The actual command is "cat mario.nes - | nc ...” The trailing dash allows you to actually control the game after the rom has been loaded.

Signature Bank seems like it was a crypto bank... If they used bigger banks, this would less likely be a problem... Or a much bigger problem. These banks have less than 250 billion, while Chase has 3.5 trillion.

Encryption plus a single rewrite is likely many times more sufficient than ever needed. Even if there is a massive 10% block reserve, you looking at a random 10% of an entire encrypted drive. Figuring out how to just decrypt those blocks is

To be clear, I understand the desire for truly anonymous services. But after two decades of experimenting and thinking of this problem. I don't think it is possible for an truly anonymous solution that is also ergonomic to use. Things

By passing secure boot is pretty bad, but the article doesn't mention anything about the TPM. Even if you trick uefi to execute this exploit, surely the TPM will have different measurements and not release the encryption key. The artic

I like the way golang handled this. Imports are the URL to the resource. No central distribution mechanism at all. In the past few years they implemented a optional catching layer so you a dependencies going offline doesn't necessarily

Incumbents do have an advantage, but I wouldn't say they aren't expecting a significant contested election. Trump was the incumbent, and it was a pretty aggressively contested.

> There are ways to not use node_modules, by using newer Yarns for example. My point was that if you use yarn2 in pmp mode, and you have a dependencies that depends on the node_modules layout being at the same level as package.json, than

It doesn't matter if you decide to use a different package manager, if one of your dependencies depend on that layout, you must supply that layout.

The TPM api isn't disabled after boot, and things still use it the computer starts up. IE, it's possible to use the TPM for ssh/gpg keys. Other things like esims and password managers can still use them. It also isn't so

Here is a question for you, what value is secure boot providing you that you cannot get from an encrypted root filesystem with a TPM and systemd-cryptsetup. That is too say, the signed grub binary can be used to load literally anything. It

I'm a big fan of NixOS, but sometimes it is obscenely difficult to test new things. Example is iptables-nft. On every other distribution installing that is enough to make all applications use the nft version. In NixOS, you can easily c

The why is obvious. People will lose their 2FA. It's a fact of life. Lost keys with your yubikey. Broken phone without a backup of your totp. Etc. After that, how do you prove that someone owns their account? Send a photocopy of your p
