The judge is still out on the licensing issue. And given it can, at least sometimes , output verbatim copy paste, including comments, of well-known GPL code[0], well, let's just say the issue is not clear-cut. [0]: https://

That hospital is dumb and will likely face issues in the near future then. Win7 isn't supported by Microsoft since early 2020, which means no more security updates. Given hospitals are getting more and more frequently targeted by ranso

Cookie banners are only necessary for tracking. The idea here isn't to obsolete cookies, just the banners, as the spec proposes a way to gather user consent through the user agent instead of a cookie banner.

The thing about this new spec is that it's compatible with the GDPR in a way that could make adopting this a legal requirement, given enough lobbying effort. It'd be a long battle, but I could foresee a future where regulators req

Macros can be quite hard to understand, so having a simple crate wrapping it with extensive documentation and tests can be quite beneficial. And yes, this also applies to node. The attack is entirely unnecessary.

The problem with having those APIs in the browser is that it increases the attacker surface area, which makes the browser less secure for everyone, including those who do not use PWAs. The only saving grace is that you have to accept the pe

If paying a ransom is made illegal, there's a very good chance victims will pay the ransom, and try very hard to hide the attack from the authorities to the best of their abilities. Punishing the victim rarely has the intended result e

That's no longer the case. There are many web frameworks working on stable, and Rocket, which was one of the most popular nightly-only backends, has been building on stable for nearly a year now!

Yeah, I have a custom rule in ublock origin to remove it. It's literally the only custom rule I have, but it happened to me so damn often that it ended up being worth the time to identify the element so I could permanently block it.

I disagree that it's "just talking trash". Sure, I agree the tone of the article is overly harsh on the gcc-rs project, but it does raise some solid points that, for the stated goals of the project, the approach appear subopt

I for one do not trust the ISO at all. They are a profit-seeking organization with an opaque standardizing process. That the ISO9660 standard (you might know it as the .iso file format) from 1988 is still locked behind a 140chf payment is a

Not sure why you think ADA/Spark isn't free. There's GNAT[0], an open source ADA compiler that's part of the GNU toolchain, a fairly good book teaching ADA and SPARK[1] by Ada Core, and plenty of tutorials. Accessibility

I don't think so? I actually looked for such functionality recently and couldn't find anything. Kaspersky uses a hypervisor to hook syscalls[0] in order to provide such functionality. There's also DTrace for Windows[1], but t

The real fraud here seems to be the telephony industry's concept of a premium number. That there isn't an enforced standardized way to tell that a phone number will incur extra fees to contact is a failure of the industry. This sh

Bigger ASM means you can fit less code in cache, which makes your code slower. If this happens in a hot loop, it may be the difference between "my code fits entirely in L1 cache" and "my code needs to be fetched from L2/

Even if it's P2P, you still need TURN servers because participants might be behind NAT that are hard to pierce through. This basically means you're proxying the full video traffic between both participants.
