Some (many?) use MATLAB interactively to produce figures and then save them by hand. Often this involves a mixture of typing commands and clicking on GUI elements like "add colorbar". So a m-file that produces the figure doesn&#x2

Yeah, you could make a smart symbol sorting hash program, increasing complexity. Now it's a hack on top of a hack. This rewriting also complicates mounting your libraries as read-only (ie, immutable system). If it's worth doing, s

Rewriting libc will change it's hash each time, which flies in the face of reproducible binaries. It seems like a messy hack and that there should be a more elegant way to achieve the same result without rewriting important libraries.

You're making the assumption that the requested list is quite short. It should be straightforward to show that the probability of a duplicate grows with the requested list length.

It sounds like he's describing an idempotent lossy filter that preconditions the image such that it is more compressible by the lossless FLIF part. And that this approach is in contrast to JPEG which is not idempotent.

So where do you put it... in your bedroom? Or kitchen? One per room? It seems like a smartphone app with a host of "skills" plugins would render this obsolete.

It looks [1] like some CAs depend heavily on DV certs (GoDaddy) while others do not (Digicert). [1] http://www.netcraft.com/internet-data-mining/ssl-survey/

So what does this mean for the incumbent CAs? Are we going to see a lot of consolidation in that area? At a first glance it looks like LE has neutered the DV cert business. How much of their revenue is up for grabs here... how strong is the

I doubt that. What I think we'll see is that the content producers will inline the ad-industry adverts & tracking code and send the tracking data back to them. Which amounts to routing the advertising machinery through the content

by kardos 11y ago
Blocking all adverts is short sighted. It works at present because the ads are delivered in a pretty obvious manner and it's easy enough to drop the scripts/elements. Blocking everything will become a much harder game once the con
