It's hard for me to imagine using any new network-touching software written in C. We have safer options now...

Suggestion: Give a brief flash/highlight on all the code that's about to move or change. This will draw the viewer's eye to the right part of the screen and give them a chance to see what the before-state was.

I'm not sure clinical trials were actually involved here, though.

That sounds like the right ballpark for making a big stir-fry, including a lot of mincing of ginger and garlic and peppers. Not something I do every day, though! I feel like this is off by an order of magnitude. However... as soon as you do

I don't think they're suggesting that this is specific to Tasmania.

Good luck enforcing the ban. Gas leaf blowers are illegal here, but you have to call the police (non-emergency line) and have them show up while the leaf blowers are still going . Basically impossible.

If this were an email subject line I would have flagged it as spam.

I'm aware. But it does reduce the value of data mining, simply by reducing the amount of data.

Use cash more. I know you can't use it everywhere, and for everything, but -- for the sake of privacy, use cash when and where you can. The cashless economy is a surveillance economy, and if you care about privacy (for others, if not f

It's not a "cryptographically secure hashing system". PhotoDNA belongs to a separate class of algorithms called perceptual hashes. They're not particularly collision-resistant.

If you can make one algorithm collide, you can make two collide.

Tell me more about "legal piracy".

Not sure what the philosophical sense would be. I just mean that an awful lot of people treat security as "hack on the code until it doesn't obviously break", and that's the wrong mindset for practical security.

This would likely help a little bit. We've already seen LLMs improve performance on some tasks by being instructed to "think carefully" first; presumably this biases it towards parts of the training set that are higher qual

I don't generally bring my personal laptop with me to work, and I don't generally bring my work laptop with me on vacation...

If truly none of it ends up the gas, that's cool. But I don't quite believe it, because it's happening in the context of combustion. Maybe if you route the vapor away from the liquid before burning it? There are other questio

There will continue to be uses for gasoline and similar, but the usefulness of an engine relates to the availability of the fuel. Making a new kind of engine that runs on a new kind of fuel is somewhat of a dead end unless you're 1) en

"Not necessarily", yes, but I know these particular people.

Would you be comfortable about having everyone you interact with secretly videotaping and recording you, and possibly publishing embarrassing clips 5 years later? Deniability allows you to have low-stakes, casual interactions rather than ha

So glad I work from home these days. Napping in the office was always uncomfortable -- one shitty cot in a nap room that wasn't always available and where the door didn't even lock. Sometimes I crawled under a desk or behind a cub

Sorry, this is incorrect. Non-repudiation is undesirable for email senders . It is desirable in some other systems, such as notarization and the signing of contracts.

Yeah, the skateboard-to-bike range of mobility tools is just lovely in the city -- they have the property that you can go much faster than walking with far less effort, but you can also carry your transportation (up stairs, over obstacles

I find it pretty disturbing how many of my coworkers don't even have a personal computer -- they just use their work laptop for everything. Mind-boggling. (These are software developers, they can damn well afford a laptop.) The most I

I vaguely recall that planes flying in different directions are assigned different altitude buckets.

nmap is not a "passive scan". You might be thinking of packet capture?

Extremely easy. You use a headless browser. This is already used heavily for automated testing.

Researching combustion fuels seems like a little bit of a dead end at this point. (Also, what the fuck, this is a chlorine compound, as perihelions points out. WTAF.)

They signed a 20 year lease in 2021 ? WTF were they thinking.

Yeah, we coslept as well. We don't drink or do drugs, so we weren't in that risk group. Neither of us has been the type to fall out of bed (which would indicate lack of physical awareness during sleep). We put the baby between us,
