There is a MuPDF plugin for zathura that at least some distros seems to use by default.

Windows: Sumatra PDF. Linux: Zathura. These are so much better than Acrobat. Might not do everything you can imagine but they are excellent and a very good default.

Sometimes yes, but you must also not null-terminate the strings in those cases. And on embedded devices you are often memory constrained so you might reuse an existing structure.

A lot of baseless claims, I disagree.

by tjoff 4y ago
Many protocols still relevant today make use of that structure, it still has widespread use.

That hardly makes them worthless. And very biased towards what? People not triggering bugs?

That fast enough is good enough shouldn't be a hot take? But if you are implying that the web today is fast enough that for sure is a hot take. Our industry most certainly don't care the slightest about performance nor user experi

Clunky, how? If anything I'd associate javascript with clunkyness.

When I clicked on this I thought, why not just have a cable-guided ferry instead? (Which already is a common thing) I assumed they'd have to make maneuvers not possible with a cable. But it already is?! Then why not just tug the cable

You typically don't put in any information in these systems. It is mainly to combat download links that require you to create an account etc. I really don't see any risk if you use it for stuff like that. And they'd have to r

Not sure why it would be discouraged because of big little. Pinning to a big or pinning to a little is still a potentially useful thing.

Having a better PRNG shouldn't help worst case should it? And worst case is the only thing that matters in a hard real time system.

Not sure how knowing I get overcharged by 50X is gonna help me? It is not like I have a choice in the matter anyway (when it comes to healthcare).

That is exactly what the crumple zone in the car is for though. You only have X meters of margin before you need to be at full stop. Assuming (dangerous to assume, yes) it does its job perfectly the most important factor becomes to react, t

Yet most people don't seem to ever look in their spam folder. Conclusion: gmail has a great spam-filter! :(

by tjoff 4y ago
Just as saying that machine learning can identify spam discredits anything else ex-reddit CEO says. I'm sure gmail have a clue from their point of view, but those doesn't align with mine (nor, I'd argue, most of their users).

Just see what gets through and more importantly which valid mails are being marked as spam. It is evident that they haven't got a clue. So, how do they "solve" it? By using the "reputation" of your IP addresses and

So U2F is a red flag? Maybe 2FA should be considered a red flag at this point.

That is fair, though, I'd guess that no other mainstream language except for modern C++ and Rust would fit the bill of OpenSSL. Both of which are embarrassingly recent. It is not a failure of C that we couldn't improve on it for s

by tjoff 4y ago
And how do you do that with U2F?
984.
by tjoff 4y ago
Yeah the whole setup is completely broken, which forces them to build backdoors for when it breaks which completely defeats the purpose of 2FA to begin with.

My argument is that you always need to think about memory - even in GC languages. Being able to not think about memory is not a feature, it is a problem.
989.
by tjoff 4y ago
The GC made sense in comparison to C style memory management. But with with Swift, Rust and modern C++ the argument can be made that GC doesn't bring anything to the table. In the beginning the biggest drawback seemed to be performance

A lot of people understandably have gripes about the subscription. But it is optional, right? The old one you could (after some trickery I suppose) ssh tp the device and sync via rsync etc. For me that fits way better into my workflow even
