Ah very nice, thank you!

Is the course material online? If so could someone who has access share which papers they are referencing? This would (at least to me) be the next best thing as a non-CMU student ;)

There is definitely interest in this. It is always nice to dive into different computing architectures and see how stuff is done. And it's never wrong to write something more accessible than the Intel manuals ;) (one can read those if

Not much better i guess? You'd have to model in the SAT-solver what is already more or less efficiently done here. My best guess would be that the SAT-solver would be a lot slower, as this PoW system is mostly based on memory latency.

Censys ( https://www.censys.io/ ) is also from them and it's a search frontend for a quick lookup in their data. It can come in real handy.

Then better Hetzner vServers, comparable to Linode and DO i guess? The setup is also done in a few minutes and they perform quite nicely.

If I understand this right, fasm_g is the macro-language of fasm with some additions and the ability to output bytes. That's really quite something, is it yet comparable to the current fasm?

I write cursive with a Pilot G-Tec C4 and am a lefty. I also tend to write very small and generally never had a problem with fine tips, thicker tips and fountain pens OTOH disagree with me. So i guess it's just a matter of trying thing

Now that's something one can use on a server w/o python. It's obviously harder to use than a fire and forget service, but it broadens the use-cases to simple gear where you don't want to run everything (or can't).

That's no debugger. That's a debugger: https://github.com/derekparker/delve If you want to attach to running processes, use delve, it's awesome. For me personally, even with Go's short build times,

The linked material in the answer is also higly interesting, including details about the RAD-hardening. As the decision was made in 1991 to use the SPARC architecture, it makes sense that they continued the development of their architecture

by metafex 11y ago
Does someone know about what SPARC processors they are talking about? I thought (at least for long-range missions) RAD-hardened PowerPC processors where the way to go.

Free shipping to Austria with 0,99€ for express. Looks like they have vastly different shipping rates.

As to "Use Free Software": the OTR protocol currently stands the test against various agencys and holds strong. I suggest to use software that makes use of it, e.g. ChatSecure. Also, If you wan't someone who's not a rand

Simply put, use the reference nacl implementation only when you really know what you're doing. As with all things crypto it's easy to shoot yourself in the foot, and libsodium makes it a bit harder than reference nacl.

Also noteworthy: the GSM network at the congress works like a charm, it's really awesome! It's by the guys from eventphone.de running Osmocomm (more info at https://events.ccc.de/congress/2014/wiki/S

And yes kids, enterprise applications at large companies are exactly as hard to maintain as you may have guessed (after this article). Old legacy codebases in Java are one of the worst things I've ever seen. (spiked with old stuff nobo

Third result for me: Emperor Norton there you have it. Where's the problem? :D (yes, I know, emperor and not king )

Ahh, so much quiter without all those birds and other critters :P On a serious note: cats usually integrate well with their ecosystem and if they would really pose such a big threat, smaller mammals and brids would just migrate away. edit:

So that the cat can go outside to play and come back to shit? :) (happenes from time to time)

What makes it even worse is the name KZPlayground, for me personally stuff like that sends shivers down my spine, though I'm slightly biased (being Austrian, family history, etc.). kz can thoug also be the TLD/country code for Kaz

On the contrary the Neo900 phone shows that even very small batches of open-hardware phones can be made. The difference with open source projects is the passion that makes them work (even if just for a few people) :)

It basically talks to certain network-cards directly, bypassing the TCP/IP stack. AFAIK it presents raw ethernet packets to the lua code which have to be parsed by the application (i don't know exactly if there isn't some cod

It would be very interesting if this could be combined with snabbswitch for some truly awesome bare-metal lua networking.

It is marketing at it's finest: create fear and uncertainty and have a product ready to ease the pain (even though it won't likely help in any way).

It says basically nothing. It gives a CVE (for which no information is available) and says the exploit was used with PowerPoint documents, that's it.

by metafex 12y ago
This exploit is delivered with a PowerPoint document, so no remote hole. It's a bit strange, that the reference a CVE (for which no information is available) and just generically describe the campaign and whatnot. The real report thoug

Yes, Open Source communities can be bad. But there are also good ones. And if you think Linus is bad, read some comments from Theo de Raadt. The first opensource project I tried to contribute to when I started coding has been a horrible exp
