care to go into more detail about the glitter/nail polish? I've heard of the "straw" technique[1], flour/baby powder by the door, but never this stuff. (chucking a random assortment of straws on top of your laptop t

I feel this time it really is different. Firstly, there were the anti-competitive practices by Intel (which saw them fined). There are a few other factors as well. The fact that these CPUs really are something special. As they manage to rea

With all due respect, it's not a postmortem, it's an advert. It doesn't really say anything other than "We had a problem, we fixed it.". There are virtually no technical details in there other than "something w

But still gets looked down on. It's a running joke in pretty much everywhere I've worked that if you see someone with CEH and/or CISSP in their email signature - like a badge of honour - that you know you're going to be

From what I remember the cooling unit alone required 1200W just to run and was the size of a small air conditioning unit, conveniently hidden under the table. (edit: obviously i've replied to the wrong comment, this is aimed at Intel&#

That's exactly what I did. The problem I was trying to address is you shouldn't have to expect to read into the stdlib to optimize the code. Adding a ReadDirNoSort (as suggested in the initial 2012 pull) wouldn't hurt anyone.

by morrbo 8y ago
These are some really cool optimizations. It is nice that they're letting you put these in, and it's always kind of bugged me that they won't do some basic optimization of their util classes - like ReadDir sorting by filename

Why not C#? Seems a bit of a missed opportunity to feed some of the APIs undoubtedly created for this into the new .net core stuff. I guess i'll just keep dreaming of the day when i can reliably convert a docx into a pdf without using

Thanks for the suggestion, but i can say with a firm authority, that the Apose suite of everything is absolutely horrible. Their Word/Office offerings, and their CAD stuff just don't work. Their marketing team, however, are absolu

CAD stuff is such a nightmare. Attempting to navigate the mixture of poorly/undocumented file formats (AutoCAD, as a perfect example) is a massive pain. Attempting to get any form of generic viewer in the browser, or convert the file

Are there any plans to make reddit video better? It's by far the worst video experience i've ever had on, well, anything really. On FF mobile it freezes regularly, audio and/or video, seems to take an eternity to load (and i&

mods, if this is bad just delete it but it is public info now so i think quite an interesting vulnerability. Just had a very quick look over the relevant code bits... it does look like it would just be an attacker-specified domain.. i.e

Both of these things are way too hard to read and whilst they might be pretty you're massively screwing over whoever has to maintain your code lol

How does pgbouncer make this process easy? Just because there are less connections to go to the final DB? I've also got a random question you might be able to answer (having a hard time googling)... when using pgsql in streaming replic

Bit late to the party here, but any chance of a mobile app similar to newrelic in the near future? cheers

IMO they really need to do a revenue share. Big influencers (think youtube style ad revenue) would make enough to move on to the platform. Smaller users would still get the occasional 5 bucks, enough to keep people interested. Yes they&#x27

Pretty much exactly what Orf said below. The writeup was great and you did a fantastic job of knowledge sharing (which is what this is all about tbh). However the "alright" refers to the two aforementioned medium risk issues. When

It's not so much malware, it's mainly open relays which are being used to bypass spam filters on hotmail et al. due to coming from a "legit" .gov or .edu domain. It has been a while since i've received one though in

So although they are alright findings (arbitrary url redirect and dom-ish xss) the main take away from the article is that it is WAY too hard to contact anyone from any form of CERT in the UK whatsoever. I've tried myself to report vul

I mean, it's a tradeoff. It will always be a tradeoff, so the answer you're going to get is "never". There will always be less cores vs higher base clock (i'd imagine). However, the clock speeds of ryzen/tr&#x2

I don't understand the shock here? Large corporations don't want users installing random apps. I don't see why an NHS laptop, for example, should have Bejewelled installed, or some dodgy app which gives permissions to the use

This is actually a new take on a fairly well known security/DoS attack called the "slow post" attack ( https://blog.qualys.com/securitylabs/2012/01/05/slow-read ) pretty novel to see it used

It cost my girlfriend more to get to the Gatwick airport than it cost to fly to Madrid on Norweigan. We live in South London, let that sink in.

As i said below i am more on about MS even considering this as a default option for a server environment, not about the lack of control.

I'm fully aware of gpo, thanks. I was more on about the shift from the default of do not update (in server 2012) -> update and restart (as a default in server 2016)

Not sure what you mean about "not a gamer". After my problems installing the drivers (which turned out to be me downloading the wrong thing) i'm using server 2016 as my daily driver, with an rx480 and getting 60fps ultra on o

The forced restarts on a server are funny too. As is the feedback information to Microsoft (which iirc can not be turned off completely, only to basic, maybe there is a registry/gpo hack but i havent played with this yet). Can't s

The main thing that annoys me about this is that i've been having major problems with Windows 10. I previously ran server 2012 as my daily driver, which was fine for everything i needed to do on Windows (run visual studio, play overwat
