Your point? The multiple declaration syntax which is being discussed here uses comma separators , not operators.
2.
by penguinduck 10y ago
Maybe you don't understand it that well because the described usage of a comma is not a comma operator (or any kind of operator).

You wrote a program that rigs the input data in favor of one class in such a way that the classifier results are more or less uncorrelated with membership in that class. Am I understanding the code correctly? I don't see how you elimin

Some systems will scan the email content and try to guess the password; if they can't, they'll block the attachment.

But for such a user the choice is not third-party AV or nothing - Windows comes with AV software - so the true benefit of an AV product is only in how much better it is than the integrated one. That difference needs to be more significant t

The more a person wants to do a job, the less compensation they will demand because the emotional satisfaction they get substitutes for a part (or sometimes all) of the compensation. When there are a lot of people who have a strong preferen

It is a strawman. Your quotes don't say what the author wrote: "the less someone knows about a subject, the more they think they know". And again later: "In two of the four cases, there’s an obvious positive correlatio

It's not a bug by definition of what contracts are. A contract can't have a bug because the implementation IS the specification. That is the whole point of the system . Even the DAO website says so itself. The code itself has the

Are you sure the compression rate will be higher than what humans have experienced previously? We've had steam power, electricity, computers (and I probably forgot something). Those were all pretty big. The current big thing is AI. Wha

There is nothing magical about a "connection". It is not some kind of secure tunnel. There are only packets. The attacker can take part in the accepted connection that the legitimate host initiated and the server accepted, and pre

by penguinduck 10y ago
There is no need for a subsequent connection. It is irrelevant whether the legitimate client connects or the attacker does if the attacker is sniffing traffic. This is just how IP and TCP work. If I am sniffing traffic, I can fool the serve

You don't need to be able to do a full MITM attack. You just need to be able to read the traffic, not modify it. And if you believe this is an unreasonable assumption, why did you link me a program which says in its description "T

I don't understand what you mean. How would you prevent the attacker from knowing the port, except by only sending the port knock, and then never actually connecting? Let's say the attacker has no idea you're using port knock
15.
by penguinduck 10y ago
Entirely possible, as I said this is the first time I read about this, so the port knocking I refer to is the kind described, which is using a sequence of ports as a key. I don't know python but this implementation seems broken in the

Now you are being intentionally obtuse. Bye.

by penguinduck 10y ago
I can copy your knock and get access, I can deny you service by messing up your knocks by sending packets with a fake IP, it is also insanely inefficient in the amount of data and time spent vs the amount of information exchanged
18.
by penguinduck 10y ago
Could you explain why single-packet authorization is cosmetic? This is the first time I've read about these, and while port knocking is clearly broken in multiple ways, I don't immediately see the flaw in SPA, except for the fact

Regarding the first, I think they basically do this to test how "programming smart" someone is. Like my boss tells me when I interview, "determine potential". However, I agree that this shouldn't disqualify someone

Newspapers can be extremely unreadable though for this exact reason. They often use 30 character columns, then have an article consisting of 5 or more such columns of text. I often "get lost in the sentence" when reading this form

You dismiss this as "esoteric", but that's the whole point, the purpose of a puzzle like this is for you to be unable to map it to something you've done previously or to something you learned in school, and instead to fo
