In my experience, most Japanese people are much less judgmental about these things than this seems to imply (and less so than Westerners in general). Of course, there's always a time and place for "liking what you like", but

Ah, got it. Yeah that makes sense, thanks -- I missed how old this was.

I agreed with much of the article and points made. Maybe I'm missing something (if so, would love to learn!) but I felt that the "Penetrate and Patch" section was a little naive. e.g. > Let me put it to you in different te

Happy to hear there was no evidence of this being exploited. This is one of those things you really want to fix. Relying on an ID value being hard to guess as a security measure can be easily become one of those completely-invisible-but-cri

Fun thought experiment! I can't help but be reminded of the Good Will Hunting quote, though: SEAN: So if I asked you about art you’d probably give me the skinny on every art book ever written. Michelangelo? You know a lot about him. Li

ISO 26262 is the functional safety standard that automobile manufacturers adhere to. Furthermore, companies with a strong safety culture may also have other safety controls, including MISRA, AUTOSAR, and others. I think reputable car compan

I don't really know how you'd falsify the claim (it's not particularly falsifiable), but I'm open to being wrong... That being said, only using 50% of a language like C++ might be considered a feature and not a bug. ;)

I think most serious C++ shops are probably compiling with -fno-exceptions.

This is great, we need more tools like this -- diagrams that can be version controlled, iterated/edited on alongside the code, etc. I think there's so much room for innovation in the area of declarative diagramming.

I searched google maps for the address on the letter, and interestingly... on street view, the house corresponding to the address on Dikjstra's letterhead is blurred out. Interesting. https://www.google.com/maps/p

Point taken, but I think it's a different concept -- named internal short-links versus randomly generated small strings for longer links.

It would also be pretty ironic if so, given that the idea was basically lifted from Google internal infra.

Lol, it is not gaslighting/manipulation. Are you really so unable to resist the temptation to believe an idea that you must choose not to even consider it? Proof by contradiction[1] has quite a number of important results. We shouldn&#

I don't want to rain on anyone's parade, but I'll just add my unsolicited opinion... Functionality like this, and more acutely, any kind of cross-service, cross-account stylometrics correlation or de-anonymizing service gives

I have a huge belief in tree-sitter. I think it's going to continue to grow and become an important tool, especially in security/code tooling contexts.

This would compromise on security (for this scheme, time window will presumably be longer, many more keys that can be compromised) and would create an explosion of keys for the user to manage, effectively offloading that work to your custom

Sorry, how do you propose to transmit a signature over the wire such that if it were compromised, the blast radius is limited to only the called service within the called region within a finite time window?
115.
by mcqueenjordan 4y ago
You HMAC the region so that in case a region is compromised, other regions aren't as well. You HMAC the service so that in case a service is compromised, other services aren't as well, you HMAC the timestamp for obvious reasons (t

I think you're supposed to do this with Stylometrics[1]. So I guess this is sort of the greedy hacky approach to try and associate users across websites. My operating assumption of Palantir as a company is that they have a very advance
