In fact, a sabotage manual should include the opposite action for each point. These are not the methods of sabotage, they're the methods of shrouding your sabotage in plausibility. It wouldn't provide you plausible deniability if

So, what's new?

Sounds like something that would happen in Broken Sword.

I certainly don't want to expose any more surface area than necessary to potential exploits by an attacker who hasn't authenticated successfully.

A little demonstration would take care of that.

and not be as scummy as Google, Apple, or Microsoft What's funny about this is that Google used to be supposedly the new, friendly company that wasn't as scummy as Microsoft and Apple, and look where we are now.

It's one of a billion of "Here's my proposal for improving Linux: Make it like Windows!" articles that keep getting written, and have been written for 20+ years now.

How would anyone come to the conclusion that an API that explicitly allows setting a global seed value without mentioning anything about thread-local state, wouldn't contend for some kind of shared resource?

1. Dear author, I think Linux probably just isn't for you. 2. We probably don't want the author's concept of "Linux winning" to come true.

Without inserting a single double space anywhere? How is that possible?

4*(speed^2) because the relative speed is doubled.

You don't crash into a stationary post or a pedestrian on highways. If you crash into a stationary post, you were texting. If you crash into a pedestrian, WTF was the pedestrian doing there.

I kind of took away the opposite from the parent post. Of course, your config isn't just strings, but it also isn't just a limited set of primitive types that the inventor of some one-size-fits-all configuration language envisione

Read: No, and nothing mainstream is ever going to design for it. There's always gonna be more visual processing you can cram in for more impressive looks if you accept a lower framerate and/or lower resolution. The trade-off will

Yes, but it seems that we can't satisfy all reasonable real-world use cases this way, or else Rust wouldn't have the "unsafe" escape hatch that's actually used by real code.

ASN1 >>> some "readable" "plain text" crap. Though ASN1 inside base64, now that's hilarious!

> It's very easy to look at $18.99 and mentally think "$20 once taxes hit," which ought to dispel the illusion. What illusion? One possible explanation is that .99 prices are so well established that prices that don't

In this case it certainly does, since the price is less than 1% higher for items priced above $1, .1% above $10, etc.

Plenty of stuff worth $3 sold for $9.99 Nobody trying to sell anything "cares for affordability" any more than if it's not affordable to the customer, he won't buy it.

Many moons have passed since the worms went to war. Onwards and upwards! Bigger weapons than before! Boggy B. took cover, he shivered on patrol. The arms race: crazy, simply way out of control.

You also had digital freedom and autonomy. You controlled how many ICQ accounts you had. Setting one up took a minute and cost nothing. You chose the client you used to connect with. Noobs used the official ICQ adware and you used some 1337

"Corrected" starts with a "K" sound, but actually starts with a "K" sound. It's always interesting to learn trivia like this.

Act on release. This is a UI design hill I will die on. Yeah, in FPS or other games where reaction time matters, or just games in general, you always want to act on press. In all other apps, act on release.

The wording of his comments strongly suggests he doesn't want to share that information.

Anyone with two brain cells can tell the difference between a homeless person and an adventurer. Pretty much anything people do to challenge themselves sucks for someone who's stuck doing it without a choice.
