Why is cython (python-like fast language) worse than mojo (python-like fast language)?

In the real world maybe? I never understood the point of hookup apps like Tinder.

Defence in depth. Now you need a working chain of 3 exploits instead of one. It's about raising the bar, perfect security is impossible.

>Every major black hat group operates with the blessing of some state. Citation needed. As far as I know that's true. Yes, some groups cooperate with the state (true in Russia after the escalation of the war in Ukraine, for example)

Not a native English speaker here. What's a difference in technical context?

I value ma data, that's why I don't keep important information in random chats. But I digress. If you care about losing your history, the proper solution is backing it up, right? Signal does support that.

User consent popups are awesome. I never agree to anything, and I know exactly which sites are spying on me and which are OK.

Trojans only need to connect to one server (c&c) and they usually use http(s). Worms are almost nonexistent nowadays. Spambots are a concern (some of which could be consider a worm if you squint hard enough), but they only need to conne

It's less surprising and the obvious way to do it. Iptables are very powerful, but not needed in this case.

Certainly not all, as the ones I'm using don't. Unless you have a very cherry-picked definition of "modern".

There's a huge difference. Browser sandboxes are not "real" VMs and share a kernel. And in case of Chromium it's enough to read a few bytes from another process (token) to escape.

Parsing and tokenisation are usually (at least conceptually) separate steps. Your example almost certainly tokenizes as selectcount, (, *, ), fromtable. It's plausible "select 123abc" would tokenize as select, 123, abc becaus

Isn't it still a default somewhere? I recently formatted a pendrive on Windows and somehow mindlessly selected FAT (and ofc had troubles down the road). I probably picked a default somewhere. And to respond your question: >Why on ea

Just don't do what, edit your data? The problem is all JSON implementations agree what a properly encoded JSON file look like, and it's not true for CSV. Arbitrary CSV is not, in general, round-trippable.

Whonix is great. I use it all the time in my dayjob. I write a lot of scripts that have to interact with criminal (malware c&c, phishing website, etc) infrastructure, including APT analysis. You don't want to make an opsec fail and

Funnily enough, real malware does this correctly. Usually by just ShellExecing "ping -n 3 127.0.0.1 >nul" followed by "del" - no temporary file needed.

I'm not even sure if you and GP agree or disagree. As for me, I want IPv4 to stay forever. It works for me and I don't see any reason to spend time and migrate to something else.

>Like, yes theoretically the compiler can do anything, but tangibly, coherently, most compilers deal with most UB in a sane way. I have to disagree - I do a lot of hacky low-level stuff, and C/C++ compilers love to "break"
110.
by taway1237 3y ago
The definition is pretty precise, compiler can do whatever it wants with UB. That's not very helpful or useful, but the standard is very explicit about that.

I must be missing something, but why not just mount your code into the container? That's what I usually do.

As a reverse engineer who works with malware most of the time (and my current project is related to a spyware family) I'm annoyed by your incorrect and inflammatory use of the word "spyware". Words have meanings for a reason,

100% agree, but I have to add:DRM is not necessary for all media, just a small percentage of sites (like netflix/spotify i guess) use it. I personally never enabled DRM in my firefox.
115.
by taway1237 3y ago
Spyware exists primarily to steal data, firefox also has "some" other uses. Calling firefox "spyware" dilutes the meaning by implying it's somehow similar to actual spyware.

Yeah, it reads backwards. 2.4% of total greenhouse emissions just for one kind of food item sounds huge.

This also won't work since it'll crash on missing fields. e.get("commit", {}).get("author", "") maybe (ignoring the corner case of non-list top level object).

And yet everyone understands what this term means when applied to software licensing. Pretty good argument that this word, in fact, exists and has a well defined meaning.

Doesn't it prove GP's point? If you use MongoDB in your commercial software it gets infected with AGPL, because people interact with it over the internet - just like linking does with GPL.

Well, the point of the article is that they are not cpmpetitors and are used differently. For me, 99% of the time i'm curl-ing some API and I definitely don't want to save the result to disk (but often want to pipe it to grep&#x2F
