IIUC Old Chinese was a much more “isolating” language, in that words were typically single characters - meaning that to make new words, you typically needed to make new characters. As it evolved through the ages, “compound” words composed o

Unicode has support for this, in the Ideographic Description Characters block ( https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideographic_Description_Char... ). However, it’s purely descriptive, and not designed for rendering. There a

Fair! Thanks for the correction. I intended to say bits per second. Luckily I think I’m still in the right ballpark for speeds (at least in the early 80s). Did any of those old modems use QAM? It seems like many of the older protocols were

Yeah, it's between 1200 baud and 2400 baud - which would be right around where dialup was in the 80s. Plus the attack runs at 3.9KB/s on AMD processors - over 10 times faster!

Nitpick: that’s bcrypt, not Blowfish. Blowfish is an encryption algorithm; bcrypt is a password hashing algorithm based on Blowfish, but designed to be significantly slower.

A Bitcoin private key is 32 bytes long. /etc/shadow on my machine is 1080 bytes long. Heck, my entire password manager database is probably no more than a few KB in size. Sure, chasing the necessary pointers and data structures th

Wasm is trivially accessible from JavaScript, so it's not unreasonable to conflate the two, even if its technically incorrect. Wasm also can't do anything that JS couldn't already do; it's simply more convenient in many

Restricting origins doesn’t work thanks to a fun little trick called DNS rebinding. Let’s say you get the user to browse your site, say, attacker.com. They lookup your DNS and see that it’s 1.2.3.4, with a TTL of (say) 5 seconds. Five secon

They’re ubiquitous for things like wood screws and they really, really shouldn’t be. I’m actually kinda glad that Robertson heads are common in Canada.

This is, frankly, a terribly written paper. It’s not even described how the proposed method works? IJCSNS is also on Beall’s list of predatory publishers, which likely means that the paper was published with much weaker peer review and a hi

Ran into a fun Google bug today: on the default macOS Safari install, Google Drive refused to download a folder once it had more than about a dozen files. It would go through the entire “zipping the files up” step and then mysteriously fail

As parent stated, Google can simply neglect to make their apps work well in Safari. They’ve done so in the past; GMail on Firefox was nigh-unusable due to a raft of dumb bugs for a long time, and it still uses substantially more CPU and mem

Apple can’t reasonably allow Gecko (Firefox’s engine) without also allowing Blink (Chrome’s engine). And we know which one is the 800lb gorilla here. I love and support Firefox, and I even use it on my iPhone (yes, it’s reskinned WebKit, bu

Those recommendations are weak sauce. Websites are going to say stuff like “works best in Chrome!” and Google is going to encourage that. Nothing in those recommendations, assuming they’re even adopted, will solve that.

As far as youtube-dl goes, you can run that on iOS via a Python interpreter such as Pythonista: https://gist.github.com/nneonneo/f6b2d659ba76542e7d27e13598a...

Since you have at least one working message, 0x202, and the ability to disassemble the code, one thing to try would be to search for spots in the code where that gets used as an operand or gets loaded from memory. Unless they use a switch s

Some journals make these statements mandatory; for others, not promising to share your data can be a significant obstacle to publication (e.g. reviewers may ask why the data is not being made available).

They’ll get to find out if it’s scalable with this iteration of their repair program. It’s quite likely that only a small fraction of people will be interested in self-service repair, but if that assumption turns out to be false Apple would

We had a 500W subwoofer amp just die on us one day. Since the replacement was going to be several hundred dollars, I figured I’d try disassembling it to see if I could find a problem. Lo and behold, I saw three 1000uF caps that had leaked,

I've had great success using Frida ( https://frida.re/ ) to do stuff like this recently. Frida injects a V8 runtime into the target process, enabling you to use JavaScript to dynamically patch/inspect/modify co

They’re buying this domain solely to use it for their wormhole network, which bridges blockchains together. So, in this context, they most definitely are “crypto people”.

A car is both longer-lived and more expensive than a phone. It’s definitely not unthinkable to have that influence your choice of smartphone, especially since there might be many other more important factors that affect your choice of car.

I mean, people did try to do everything all at once, and the results are therefore dead and forgotten ( cough Itanium cough ).

Yeah. It might be different on a non-US keyboard layout, though. It switches between windows of the current app, so it will only do anything if you have more than one window open in the current app.

I minimize windows on purpose if I want to completely ignore their existence but not close the window. For example, Terminal windows that are running background processes that I don't need to attend to, VMWare windows for headless VMs
