There definitely is value in it if users created proper passwords, but path of least resistance tends to win out in the end, and people will just find ways around the mechanisms to prevent weaker derived passwords.

The article kinda misses the reason why mandatory password changes existed in the first place -- unknown breaches. The idea was that if there was an undetected breach, the attacker would have a maximum of the mandatory password change to us

Most of these already exist Rings are code privilege levels, they don't "protect" memory, page tables do that, and the implementation to protect the stack has been around for over a decade - DEP call/return stack detecti

The title of the post says a "vi-like terminal editor," and distinguishing vi vs vim is missing the point--I'm not talking about extensive plugin support or features that are specific to vim, the base keymappings are pretty d

This editor is missing way too many vim helper shortcuts to claim to be vi-like, maybe vi-inspired would be better wording. That being said, the editor looks really nice and jump mode feels extremely intuitive; I might give it a full shot o

Ultimately how well your program is designed is completely based upon what features you need to develop in the future, what their parameters are, what their return values are, what those return values will be arguments into, and in what sca

The caveats you're mentioning are exactly why tor is a bad tool if privacy is your main goal. None of those concerns would be an issue with a service that focused on privacy. Also HTTPS everywhere isn't enough; you also need ESNI,

by qw3rty01 6y ago
Tor is explicitly not private, only anonymous. The end node can see all the traffic you send through it if it's not encrypted. If privacy is your main concern, tor is definitely not the right tool to use.

You can absolutely refactor in factorio...in fact you have to refactor as you get access to better technologies. Just like software, refactorability is largely dependent on how well you design your base at the beginning. If you leave plen

The simple answer is scale. The recipes in satisfactory and factorio are pretty similar in complexity, but the production chains in factorio are quite a bit larger. Also a lot of complexity comes in with scaling production up in factorio, s

One VM using excessively more disk space than it's supposed to can potentially cause data corruption in all the other VMs on that system. For just spinning VMs up and down for testing, you probably won't run into that issue, but o

Nothing really sticks out in the cipher as being inherently complex or requiring advanced education, it's more of just a puzzle where you're meant to figure out arbitrary rules, which in this case weren't even consistent thro

Unlike lockpicking or actual arms races, it is possible to write software such that the only weak point is the people using it. Ideally all software would be formally verified, but that's a bit too cost/time expensive to be prac

It also came out at an interesting time, because everyone was trying to push data-to-redundancy ratios to their limits. Since storage was so expensive back then, storing multiple copies of data made little sense when looking at it from a da

Oh how new is that? Last time I was looking through they just said their datacenter was in a bunker so nothing outside of a major natural disaster would affect it.

by qw3rty01 6y ago
Also keep in mind all the data is in a single datacenter, so if something like OVH happens to backblaze, you'll probably lose the data I mainly only use them for backups instead of production data EDIT: As of 2019 there are multiple da

It's actually the opposite. This would throw an exception in a strongly typed language. It would silently return the wrong thing in javascript because it's not strongly typed.

It's a bit unfair to use a default hello world program as an argument for why binaries are too large to use in an embedded context, because rust binaries can be made very small with tuning[1][2][3]. [1] https://www.codeslow.

So the new model seems to be suggesting that high LDLs are not a cause for heart disease, but rather a symptom. Have other studies tying high LDLs to heart disease taken this into account, or did their main findings just show a correlation

Another thing that wasn't super clear was that this is the total tax relief for all oil rig decommissions for every company, not per oil rig.

It wasn't quite clear in the article, but the government isn't paying to remove the platforms, rather the cost of removing the platforms can be written off on taxes, so they (all the oil companies combined) would be paying 24bn le
