A browser ad that imitates a windows dialog can only guess one color per impression. Forcing Mallory to settle for 1/3 of the otherwise-vulnerable population is a definite improvement.

The title bar thing, yes. The accent color? If you buy a new Windows 10 machine off the shelf, after you enter your name, it asks what your favorite color is. I think blue is highlighted when that screen comes up, but you can't miss th

Or open it in an actual text editor, like I do anyway to get syntax highlighting.

After the first pop-up Chrome and Firefox let you say "block all the dialogs from this site from now on."

Windows 10 lets you pick a "custom accent color," and it allows you to make a few other custom tweaks as well (should the titlebar be white or colored?). Since this is part of the initial setup wizard, I think it would be pretty h

I think they mean "SELinux was stopping this vulnerability from being exploited before it was even discovered."

> I should never see an "access denied" error on a host I control, unless I misconfigured it. What do you mean? Even stock UNIX will give a permission denied error if you try to run an executable without `chmod +x`-ing it or `r

The NSA's of the world don't need to hack Google's infrastructure. They can just ask. This is protection from rogue employees acting independently, assuming it's not just marketing and ego-stroking for the engineers.

> C++11 and beyond is just as safe as any language. That's just not accurate. This is UB, despite being done entirely using modern C++ API: #include <iostream> #include <vector> using namespace std;

That's a known bug: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/32670 This bug was posted on April 1st, being a bit more ha-ha-only-serious than the emoji-based error handling one that the core team put on.

I would have, but I have a Windows box. Our OP has a Mac, so testing the script would be hard.

Windows, remember? The OP is building a program on his Mac and sending it to his Windows-using friend. Windows has a "find" command, but it's a full-text search thing, unlike on *nix where it does find-by-name. See: http:&#x

For context, [here's an IRC discussion about implementing style matching as a single global DFA, and what it's tradeoffs would be]( http://logs.glob.uno/?c=mozilla%23servo#c550146 ).

Allocating memory can be as cheap as adding to a number. Even if you want a concurrent allocator, atomic increments are pretty fast compared to any typical malloc. It's allocating and then freeing that's slow. A copying-compacti

If it doesn't have any self-replication code, then how can did DrWeb get a copy? Did somebody drop in on a Tor hacking forum, or is it being distributed through a separate system, or did they just make it up for marketing, or what? (Th

If it's going to match Godwin's Law, then whoever mentions Rust automatically loses the argument...

Swift is more high-level. That's not an accident: Swift is designed to write the front end of an interactive application, while Rust is designed to build the back end thereof. But if you're coming from dynamic languages, Rust&#x

Non-lexical scope won't help with that. Remember that Rust does not allow mutable aliasing, so this code can never be allowed: let mut arr = [1, 2]; let a = &mut arr[0]; let b = &mut arr[0]; This code could be
