My residential ISP doesn't support IPv6 at all. If a site is ipv6 only, I can't reach it unless I use a VPN.

Perhaps the biggest problem is 5 cents or less isn't enough to cover minimum transaction fees.

Also a lot of them may or may not be safe depending on additional context that you don't have in the test.

Even more than that, a lot of vulnerabilities require untrusted input to exploit, but the library or executable is usually only used with trusted input. For example, suppose the chacha20 function had a vulnerability that was exploitable wit

IME, usually you care more about latency than throughput for normal interactions, and there is a noticeable difference between the slowest ones, and the fastest ones, but I've tried a lot of terminal emulators, and any of the ones that

I like biking ok, but where I live it is too hot in the summer and too cold in the winter for it to be a good mode of transportation. Even if the roads were better designed for bikers, everything was close enough, etc.

Perhaps, but it would be pretty unusual to use a commit/hash id instead of a version tag, or the main development branch.

Most AUR "helpers" show you the PKGBUILD and/or a diff thereof and ask you to confirm that it looks ok before continuing the install. At least by default. Maybe most users just ignore that and always answer yes without inspe

At the very least that has the advantage that it's possible to make more of it, so you aren't dependent on a limited sample of standard water.

Unfortunately, there is an incentive to make the patent application contain just enough detail that a patent clerk with relatively little knowledge of the subject will grant a patent, but not enough detail that an expert would be able to fo

It depends on the field, and to some extent on the particular patent officer assigned, but one of the failings of the US patent system is many patents don't actually provide enough details to reproduce the result. And even if they do t

That's not surprising. Claude code is buggy enough, and releases break things often enough, that I wouldn't expect users to distinguish bugs introduced by switching to rust-based-bun from the normal garden variety bugs.

It would have been better if they hadn't required you to migrate at all. And a lot of people, including me, ran into issues during the migration process. Thankfully I was able to get it sorted out after contacting support, but other pe

You need to be careful with blocking based on IP. IP blocks get reassigned every once in awhile, and you can end up blocking the wrong people. I've seen multiple cases where a block of IPs was blocked either because based on geography,

IMO, using copyrighted works to train models should only be "fair use", if the models are then released as (at least) open weight, so that the public can benefit from it. (Although as noted by a sibling, this would require a law c

1. The satellite is usually significantly brighter than the thing you are observing. Often bright enough to saturate pixels (which can spill over to adjacent pixels). 2. If you are doing photometry (measuring the brightness of something), e

Well that's kind of the point of the article. That in order to "win", the US needs an incentive structure that encourages open models. I'm not sure what that looks like though.

I'm surprised it didn't suggest using red LEDs without phosphorescence, which has several advantages: 1. Red light preserves your dark adaptation 2. It doesn't have as much of an impact on your circadian rythm 3. Not using ph

For professional astronomers, it really sucks if you only have, say, an hour of observing time on a big telescope, and then a few of your precious frames are ruined because of a satellite. And you don't always even know that the frame

Open source doesn't necessarily mean the development is open and transparent. For example, sqlite is open source, but the development process isn't very open. Development is done entirely by the sqlite team.

That still exposes some metadata. Depending on your threat model, leaking the timing may or may not be a problem. Also, how do you avoid leaking the sender? You can avoid giving Apple that information by routing the notification through a s
