Well, random() functions that are normally used are defined on the [0, 1) interval of 32-bit or 64-bit IEEE 754 floating point numbers, for which it is very much computable to determine whether they are exactly 1 (there's nothing &quot

It has always been the position of the CPython developers that using python for sandboxing is unsupported. With that in mind it doesn't really matter if you can "exploit" python with weird bytecode because you are supposed to

Besides what the other commenters have said, it also just seems like a bad idea to add 170 million extra recursive resolvers, I don't know how well the dns infrastructure would cope with that extra amount of traffic.

The SD Card Association seems really short-sighted when it comes to capacity. Compare to the world of harddrive where ATA-6 introduced LBA48 which allows for capacities up to 128PiB all the way back in 2003, while SDUC introduced in 2018 is

Yeah, all the file tree view/list view stuff, shell namespace etc. etc. is implemented in shell32.dll, so we should probably compare with explorer.exe + shell32.dll. Everything else are basic widgets and OS interaction which clearly ex
