localhost is considered "secure" and doesn't need https - this can be used by most development and automated testing flows. For remote development, I tend to setup a caddy server which makes it very easy to get an SSL certifi

They might not have the same motivation to write clickbait articles, but state-sponsored news certainly has plenty of motivation to distort the facts as well. We've seen what the current US administration thinks of the truth...

This is definitely not the implementation that comes packaged with every OS. Every OS has its own TCP/IP implementation that usually lives in the kernel - though most are derived from BSD's TCP/IP stack. SmolTCP could (in t

I'm using it in my toy OS as my TCP/IP implementation. It's meant to be run in a wide variety of contexts, from embedded IoT-style appliances to userspace Linux. In fact, it has instructions for Hosted Usage[0] in the README.

Oh I agree, and definitely don't recommend using Result in JS, the language is just not tailored for it. I was specifically addressing > I never understood the love for Either-based error handling in Haskell and other languages.

by roblabla 7y ago
I'm not familiar with Haskell, but Rust's `Result` type is the same idea, and I wouldn't want to trade it for try-catch. It supports backtraces[0], has a simple way to turn errors into a "catch-all" type[1], but it

If you don't want Firefox Quantum, you should still switch to a supported browser that kept XUL, such as Basilisk. Also I'm curious, what extensions are missing? Most of my pre-quantum extensions, such as Tree Style Tabs, have bee

Well for wiki, usually a branch containing markdown will transfer well across forges. Issues and PRs are the real issue. I’ve been hoping git appraise would get supported by the forges for distributed PRs, but it doesn’t look like that’ll h

Huh? Am I the only one that has exactly the opposite line of thinking? If I see an underfunded project that I enjoy, I’m much more likely to donate than if something already makes many digits money.

This module is pure python. It looks like if people rely on it, they could easily put the code in a pypi module, and maintain it there. It doesn't really make sense to keep it in the core if it has no dedicated maintainers.

I would, but then the linked FAQ is outdated (in fact, the 1.20 version[0] indicates it moved to the website), and I don't think having a redirect that points to the prev website would work. According to [1], the presence of an FAQ on

A redirect would be helpful so the old links still work.

Erm, no? Meltdown was intel only. Spectre affects absolutely every architecture with speculative execution, but Meltdown (which allows crossing process and security boundaries) are absolutely unique to Intel.

Win7 gets security updates until somewhere in 2020. After that point, anyone still using 7 will be better off upgrading to 8/8.1/10. Firefox 56 is not an ESR. It does not get security patches. From a quick look, there are public C

Why on earth are you running such a massively outdated browser? You should at least switch to pale moon, basilisk, or another maintained browser. God knows how many vulnerabilities in the wild there are in 56.

If nintendo didn’t put DRM, publishers would avoid the platform, as they would see it as insecure. Blame the laws allowing this.

The implementation is based on mruby, which is riddled with bugs. I spent some time reversing A Dark Room before it got removed. I am confident that there are bugs allowing ROP, from which point getting CFW is a matter of privesc. We have p

You can do this, but it's non-idiomatic (at least in my opinion). The only times I use shadowing is when "stripping a layer", such as unwrapping an option, or a non-destruction type change such as u8 to u64.

I'm not sure how I feel about tying authentication with payment. It means anywhere you log into with this address knows your payment history with this wallet.

I often find myself yearning for a Rust REPL. I wonder if it'd be possible to run the rust compiler to lower the code down to MIR, and then run that in the Miri interpreter?
