I guess both make sense, and a lot of other things (synthetical benchmarks, microbenchmarks, real-world benchmarks, best/average/worst case latency comparison, best/average/worst case throughput comparison...)

(As someone who rides a regular, non-electric bike daily, and has no desire to switch to an electric one) on the other hand, electric bike is strictly better than driving a car, or just staying at home. Perfect is still the enemy of good.

I am a (hopefully competent) security guy, please don't run arbitrary code if you can help it. Especially for something as trivial as JSON patching.

Yes, if every server/middleware implemented parsing in the same way this kind of vulnerability wouldn't happen. Same goes for HTTP smuggling and other smuggling attacks. Unfortunately, asking more people to ignore the currently es

As the parent mentioned, it's security critical that every HTTP parser in the world - including every middleware, proxy, firewall, WAF - parses the headers in the same way. If you write a HTTP parser for a server application it's

I thought about "Internet Computer"[1] (yet another cryptocurrency that was supposed to fix everything), and it made me curious since I didn't think it would bring any customer. Ideal customer profile makes much more sense. [

I am personally quite minimalist and trying to reduce my needs, but I'm not convinced this is what wealth is. A better description would be "wealth means having more than your neighbors". Want to feel wealthy? Relocate to Eth

Interesting question! Depends on how strong is your desire to ban it. The humanity has a long history of banning things, including certain plants, certain thoughts (for example, religious beliefs), certain ideas, certain symbols, certain pi

I'm personally leaning towards gambling ban, but I can give a few excuses not to: * Gambling won't disappear completely, but will move underground (creating mafias), or at least people will gamble online illegally (depriving count

I like CVEs, I think Linux approach to CVEs is stupid, but also it was never meaningful to compare CVE count. But I guess it's hard to make people stop doing that, and that's the reason Linux does the thing it does out of spite.

The problem here are the automated systems and braindead auditors, not the CVE system itself.

Your parent message is clearly sarcasm (I think - text makes this hard to say for sure, but I usually assume the better option). But yeah, turns out that people don't really want a distributed version control system (at least git works

Interesting culture if that's seen as a punishment. In my school half of the kids would try to be a minute late (so they can't enter the school and 'have to' slack off the whole day).

How does it work? In my country (at least non-regional trains) the ticket price is calculated as ax+b where b is a constant price and x is the distance in kilometers. So splitting the ticket is always more expensive than buying two separate

It's easy to criticise, but what do you recommend? Lowering interest rates to fight inflation? I think Turkey keeps trying this, without much success.

Pick a different architecture - anything 32bit. Exception handling on 64bit windows works differently, where the overhead is in the PE headers instead of asm directly (and is in general lower). You don't have the setup and teardown in

As a fish shell user, I'd like to notice that "bash oneliners" and "terminal tricks" are not the same. TFA mixes them freely, but makes it clear they're two different things, HN title kinda conflates them.
