The orders are partially filled (either on the buy or sell side). What this means is that the shares eligible to transact do so immediately, and the remaining shares sit on the order book and wait for someone to be willing to trade at that

It's in a VM, so it will only have (easy) access to its own virtual disk, not anything from Android. Check out Samsung's "DeX" feature[1], though -- it's pretty much exactly what you're describing. [1]: https:

There is no 3rd-party toolchain that you can use for a complete iOS (or even MacOS) build. Even if you cross-compile the majority of your code, you will need to transfer the binaries to a Mac for code signing. Everywhere I've worked th

A DDoS attack is not a security exploit. DDoS attacks overload internet connections to knock websites and users offline. There is nothing particularly technically exotic about them (most people are launching them with a cheap "booter&q

Just to add on: an online unfreeze is instant, and all of the major agencies also let you unfreeze for a specified date range (even down to 1 day, I think -- although I usually do 2 or 3 days to cover a second pull if something goes wrong w

You can check out some demoscene demos [0], which usually do this (albeit to save executable size instead of just to run fast). These days you don't even have to run them yourself; most have YouTube recordings. [0]: https://

I've assumed this was well-known... AWS has never been a good deal on the billing side. You're paying a huge premium for API access and the strength of the AWS brand. I was a bit confused as to why Cloudflare was blogging about it

Something that bothered me: The author mentions that the worst case of VLA usage is an exploitable vulnerability, then goes on to call malloc with n * size, where n is controlled by the user. This should either be bounds checked or calloc s

I'm a little disappointed in the conclusion because there are more secure password managers out there that still offer the same level of convenience as the browser built-in password manager. Yes, if you use a password manager that&#x27

DroneBL administrator here! DroneBL does list many classes of abusive IPs, although most of our listings originate from IRC (as opposed to, say, Project Honeypot, which sources them from web spam). That said, though, it's apparently ve

I think there are a couple issues with this idea: firstly, they'd be accepting the Bitcoin, so they wouldn't need any on hand to process the purchases. Secondly, if China wants to prevent or restrict the sale of a physical good, e

Ironically, the Firefox version of this extension requests permissions to inspect all domains, not just Gmail -- indicating that the extension itself may be performing tracking. I can't tell offhand whether the Chrome version does the

If you're seeing connections from random residential IPs, they're probably using a reverse-proxy service like Luminati or 911.re. IP blocklists won't catch these. These proxies originate from (basically) compromised computers

At the SSD level, the drives are actually doing block management, not file management. You still need a filesystem to store metadata, manage the layout of the data, etc. An example of something that a SSD's controller does that the ope

I deal with a lot of abuse originating from "VPN" browser extensions. I've spent a lot of time looking at how they operate. A surprising number of these are implemented as open HTTPS proxies. You don't even need the exte

Since the module has both RAM and Optane storage on it, and only the Optane storage is non-volatile, all memory writes would have to be written to the Optane storage instead of the RAM before they could be treated as complete. This would pr

I think this analysis is a little flawed. I can understand their argument against factoring in opportunity cost as this will vary widely from person-to-person (and is pretty easy to consider on your own), but they also don't factor in
