Do they publish these things on a platform other than Twitter too? Or is their policy that you ought to need a Twitter account to follow their security statements?

Way off. I went to an arbitrary message on lore.kernel.org. Firefox's network inspector says 7.37kB was transferred, including stylesheets. 26MB is roughly 3500x 7.37kB.

Was reasoning thought to be immaterial and intangible..? By whom? Materialism has been alive and well for a long time from what I can tell

What do you mean by "social media"? We all hate Facebook, but do we all hate Hacker News? Mastodon? A Discord or IRC community for an online game? I'm all for age restrictions for certain kinds of social media, but age ver

You're right, some people are misguided and think age verification can be done in a way that isn't the death of privacy and anonymity online.

You can drain aquifers faster than they get re-filled. Fresh water is renewable, but it renews relatively slowly in many places.

Thanks, this is a good correction. I haven't looked seriously at Deno since way before late 2024. The "URLs as package identifiers" issue is what initially attracted me to Bun over Deno, but it may not be relevant anymore.

What do you mean? Solving a CTF challenge demonstrates way more capabilities and talent than just asking a chat bot to solve a CTF challenge.
369.
by mort96 5mo ago
Increasing the difficulty level is a terrible solution. The problem with CTFs isn't that they're too easy. Making them harder just makes them even less accessible to people who don't cheat. It'd be like seeing people who

Capture The Flag is a cybersecurity game where the organizers set up a bunch of intentionally vulnerable computer systems with a "flag" on them, a string that's "supposed to be" secret but is accessible through expl

The core issue is philosophical. Whether you happen to have public infrastructure which provides a web front-end for your git repository, and what exact server that web front-end happens to be hosted on, ought to be completely incidental to

No, but it makes sense that they want to offer a complete privacy product and not just a VPN. The point is just that having a privacy preserving VPN is worthwhile, because one can use fingerprint resistent browsers, whether that browser is

Forgive me but I don't find this very convincing. Crypto shills were saying the same things about UST before its collapse. The technical details differed, but the arrogant tone and firm insistence that nothing bad could possibly happen

I'm not the person you asked, but for me, it's the package identifiers. Demo puts URLs to web infrastructure in source files, like Go. In my opinion, this is a huge mistake. There should be a mapping from logical package identifie

I maintain that NPM malware use postinstall scripts just because they exist and are convenient. Had NPM not had postinstall scripts, the malware would have used a different mechanism and been almost exactly as effective.

They essentially are to me, because I don't know how to differentiate them. Before the collapse, I would not have been able to look at the ones which collapsed and the ones which didn't and predict the outcome.

Didn't people realize that those automated pegging algorithms don't really work after the last round of stablecoin collapses

And which are trivial to convert back and forth between real money and cryptocurrency? And hold their value with sufficient stability that you can convert USD into the currency, make a transaction, wait a few weeks, make a transaction the o

No that's my point, Jarred didn't write the code. Before AI, at least the person who wrote the code "reviewed" it (as being aware of the code you wrote was a necessary part of the process of writing code).

In other words: a VPN service can't by itself solve all problems which potentially lead to deanonymization, it can only provide anonymous networking. Why can't it aim to solve what it can do? TOR is a great example: the TOR netw

You're right, sorry! I completely missed the word "wrapper" somehow.

The person who wrote the code reviewed it as a part of writing it and going through the PR process.

Bun is not a JavaScript interpreter, it's "only" a reimplementation of the NodeJS library + various other libraries. Bun uses JavaScriptCore as its JS engine. So Bun itself does (or at least should do) no JavaScript parsing,

Brother I don't know what point you're trying to make, I don't understand what you mean by upscaling in this context and what some internal format conversion is meant to accomplish or why one would want that. What does intern

Who mentioned 4k@120? How could 4k@120 be translated to 8k@60 internally? 8k@60 is twice the number of pixels per second as 4k@120. I still have no idea what you're trying to say.

Just another example where C++ language features are incompatible with each other, to be fixed "in a later version" which may or may not happen. There are so many of those in C++. I desperately wish they'd just do it properly

Yes, 8k @ 120Hz is 120Hz. Did I ever imply anything else? And who brought up 8k @ 120Hz? I've been talking about 8k @ 60Hz and 4k @ 240Hz, because those are the same data rate; 1 990 656 000 pixels per second. One expressed as 7680 x 4

I have no idea what you mean. Why would upscaling make it so that a display can't hit 240Hz?

Is there a reason why `std::meta::enumerators_of`, a reflection feature that's surely almost exclusively going to be used in constexpr contexts, returns a value which doesn't work in constexpr contexts?

by mort96 5mo ago
Because sometimes you have bugs and you haven't narrowed down the cause enough to write a proper test for it?
