I've had similar success, probably over the course of 8 or so years. I've moved it from from machine to machine a few times, and generally haven't had any issues with it. I've had to hack the source once or twice to wo

It seems like the most reasonable mitigation would be to disallow Burp Suite from working at all by using SSL cert pinning. (I'm actually pretty surprised that they don't do this already -- I know that Google pins certs for their

Tom7 (the author) has done quite a lot of great stuff; his game "T in Y world" [1] is pretty good, and you may also remember him from his programs Learnfun & Playfun, which taught themselves to play Super Mario (and various ot

For those of you who liked reading this, I (tangentially) recommend Irvin Yalom's book, "Love's Executioner" [1]. Irvin Yalom is a truly talented writer and a very talented psychotherapist; in this book (and, really, in

I wish that the Wolfram articles would describe a little more about what their algorithms do, rather than the mechanics of how to use their primitives. The articles remind me some of the era of web engines optimized for a specific task --

The Jetson TK1 uses the 32-bit Tegra K1. As far as I know, the Nexus 9 is probably the cheapest ARMv8 device that you're allowed to run your own kernel-mode programs on.

If you have a local AFS install, it looks like you can clone from: /afs/andrew/usr2/apodolsk/repo/nalloc_nonbare It looks like the public AFS/web gateways around don't seem to support .git directories

There aren't many blogs covering this right now, but there are no personnel injured (according to the launch loop) -- just "significant property damage and significant vehicle damage". Nobody has said much yet: https:/&

I'll rant for a moment here, because I think this is something that the Simple CPU link has the potential to get right, and that I think is a common pitfall with digital design tutorials. I think one of the pain points that you commonl

Intel's earnings report supports the concept that they're not making much money on Atom. Their mobile BU this last quarter managed to turn about $1M of net revenue ... at an operating loss of about $1.04B! [1] Watching Intel Mobi

Although I agree with the premise -- a sufficiently dedicated attacker can defeat many mechanisms you can come up with to protect your data -- many of the points that the author makes seem to be based on either incorrect or implausible assu

I recommend reading the rest of the article; the author describes multiple state laws that apply in this case.

Two things that are relatively surprising for me from the teardown. One, I'm surprised that they include a USB PHY on board. Given that the machine has no externally accessible USB interface, that seems like a waste of power, BOM cost

The thing that's truly amazing to me is that they're pumping out a 662mm^2 (about 2.6cm square) chip on their leading-edge production process, and selling the full-SKU for "only" $4,000. By comparison, the very first Iv

Some of it is amusing, when considered in modern terms -- for instance, the discussion of writing in higher-level languages presenting a fifty-fold advantage in productivity over writing in assembly. But the bit that I found the most presci

Apparently the Sandstorm team [1] recently ported MediaGoblin over, so this is particularly exciting. It looks like the big addition is that they're paving the path for federation, so soon there could well be an actually decentraliz

In a similar family, note also that setuid() can fail! If you try to setuid() to a user that has has reached their ulimit for number of processes, then setuid() will fail, just like fork() would for that user. This is a classic way to get

The complaint seemed eminently reasonable to me... up until the point where the author began taking an openly hostile tone with the support representative that he spoke with. Even though he had a deeply unpleasant experience, taking it out

Ricky, Thanks for this service. Sometimes, all it takes is to remind someone that people are there for them, and care about them. I don't terribly like Twitter, but I try to read it once a day or so just to keep a view on how people a

The only thing the service does is alert the friends of someone who appears to be about to end their own life, but who, for some reason, is posting about it on a public forum. I can assure you that the service does no meddling whatsoever. S

Maybe, if they're buying the memory at market prices. I believe that for high-volume NAND flash consumers, there is probably more of a spot-pricing scheme in place: for whatever reason, if Micron had a whole bunch of 64Gbit MLC around

Very interesting! I wonder where on the flash the firmware for the SD card is stored -- or perhaps it's stored in the controller EEPROM? If I could dump it out, that would be very valuable indeed.

Thanks. My soldering skills are not particularly special, though magnification certainly helps steady the hand! In the end, the real saviour here was the Schmartboard, which has these nicely recessed divots in the board that you can just

I also wondered this! I suspect it should be possible to do that; it would certainly be an interesting attack vector to try on cloud storage systems...
