New trees happen quickly, and remove carbon in the process. New coal not so much.

Yes, there are always ways to lock yourself in. If you only use features supported by multiple browsers and consider the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindy_effect , you stand a decent chance of long term survival. What

I've argued both sides of this for a long time. The short argument for web apps are that you have real control over them, which means any platform, any time. An iOS app from five years ago is useless without recompilation with the curr

Quantizing up to 10% collapses 43,000 values into 120. It's not perfect but it removes a huge amount of information.

This is wrong. A great deal more privacy is attainable by trivially using HTTPS. Privacy in the presence of stream inspection is more difficult, but attainable by padding files to have quantized lengths.

You could quantize these with up to 10% padding and cause a very large number of collisions, but that wouldn't be useful without HTTPS. Is the core argument that privacy is not attainable, or that it is not valuable?

From El Pais: Garanair has no economic rights over Iberia, and is itself nearly worthless (its 7,000 shares are worth one euro). Some European M&A lawyer just had a heart attack. I bet this structure looked great to when no one was pa

The number of projects that truly "need a bearer token format" is roughly the same as the number of projects that truly "need a blockchain".

They're a complicated solution to a problem that you almost certainly don't have. Storing session data in a private datastore using a long random session identifier as the key is simpler, more secure, and more flexible than JWT.

by ynniv 8y ago
You can sign session ids to prevent DoS, and you can cache session ids to avoid database lookups, but you can't detect forged or stolen JWT tokens.

There is a long history of sophisticated applications being written in less than a hundred megabytes, so where's the budget going? Hero images?

The reason Java has been so successful is that avoiding memory errors is far more important than being fast. Once you have removed the possibility of those errors, being fast is still valuable, which is how we end up with people spending so

In trading, correctness is still a lot more important than latency. Using Java instead is about risk avoidance, which is why you also see people using OCaml.

Sugar was a rare luxury until recently. Even fruit was a luxury historically. Yes people ate sugar more than a hundred years ago, but it was a few pounds per year. Modern intake is more than fifty times as much.

Humans have been eating grains for 10,000 years, and sugar for a hundred.

I think you're assuming the target is a browser, but my question was how this might affects servers. Does the attack use malicious SQL statements, API calls, or encoded data?

They're only vulnerable to RCE if image data can be supplied remotely. What's the analog here? Accessing the JavaScript API? Specifying a query string? Maliciously encoded data? Some of these are scarier than others.

Optical measurements are good for rigid objects, but humans are squishy. Accurate measurement for clothes requires some interaction and judgement. We could eventually have robots do it, but cameras alone aren't enough.

Sure, but if youre using a good one you usually say what it is. "Salted and hashed" is usually MD5 or SHA1, both of which provide almost no deterrence to brute forcing.

That's fair, but perhaps I can rephrase it to say that embarrassingly parallel applications are a well known edge case and not the norm.

The original Star Wars script was heavily influenced by an analysis of ancient and religious mythologies, so it's not surprising that you're seeing the same themes. [ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hero%27s_jour

This experiment has "embarrassingly parallel" data, ie there is little to no benefit to sharing data between computations. It's not surprising that multiprocess does well on this, but this is not common in most real world app

I want to spend more time in OCaml, but without threads it's a tough sell. Modern performance requires parallelism with shared memory, and the current mainline solutions don't offer that. Where threads aren't part of the equa

I like the idea, but when the winner is calling a 3rd party library it becomes meaningless marketing.

Better to let them build their boxes, then fix the loopholes they're using. You can't legislate real security.
