It's surely an engineering tradeoff resulting from weighing the different pros/cons. If you had dedicated cache per core at 1/Nth the size, much of it would be wasted when you're running less than full tilt -- eg, if you

A max wage will just lead to workarounds, hiring each family member at the maximum rate for instance, or schemes where a family member sues the company and the company "loses", etc. Is it worth it to play that game?

My experience finds that the in-place optimization can indeed speed up numpy code. Even if you're not memory constrained, fewer arrays in play means less memory bandwidth needed. >> Many NumPy APIs include an out keyword argument

Storing heat in a big water tank is certainly an option but it has drawbacks. I'm looking forward to developments in thermal storage in phase change materials and also storage via endothermic reactions.

How would restricted network access help? If you permit a dodgy app to talk to only one remote endpoint, it can exfiltrate whatever it wants.

Not sure that randomizing is going to do anything useful. Randomizing over three providers will give each of them one third of your requests, but they would just need more time to get a (near) complete list of the domains you resolve. Eg, i

I guess the point is that the 1400-strong pw manager is the antithesis of defence in depth. If you get malware'd, better that they nab a few passwords than /all/ of the passwords.

by kardos 7y ago
yes but if you get keylogged while using a pw manager, you lose everything, as compared to losing one (or a few, depending on how egregious your passowrd reuse is)

It's workload dependent, so you're asking for a series of graphs. Not a small ask... Phoronix has a bunch of articles where they do this but they are on a per-mitigation basis as I recall

Could Python be retrofitted with import flags, much like the openbsd pledge? Eg you could import a library but not permit file io or network access -- that would snipe these kind of attacks, and it would be a reasonable restriction for many
