Most people don't want to learn about the LaTeX (resp. TeX) internals or typesetting in general, they just want to produce documents. Including a package and using its functionality is the easiest way to get started, but sooner or late

Summarizing news articles the way the bot does isn't really that difficult. You face the task of picking 5 sentences out of 20. Since journalists write in a very compact style, the result will almost always look decent. You just fol

With access to Flickr and Tumblr it must have been very easy to create a huge training set for such a task.

Obviously only Microsoft could explain why they missed these bugs. Maybe they never fuzzed the font parsing parts of the Windows kernel (what a weird thing to say). What I know is that the Project Zero people put a lot of effort into this a

Microsoft has been doing fuzzing for years. They claim to "run the largest fuzzing lab in the world". They incorporated their Z3 solver into their fuzzer, which itself is an awesome piece of technology. What they do sounds really

The developers working on the crypto/acme extension also wrote a stand-alone client: https://www.github.com/google/acme . Very easy to use, can only recommend it!

The obvious solution is to understand how governments work. Residents are the voters, not the tourists. Blame the cities banning holiday rentals all day, in the end they are acting in the best interest of their citizens.

I think it injects code at branches to observe the branch coverage. After all you have to compile your C programs with the afl-gcc binary. Maybe you could ptrace every single instruction executed by the program and then stop at every jump

Aldi cashiers were like machines. They never had to stop and look-up a product code like modern cashiers do when the barcode gets rejected. They were just hammering the codes into the registers and they matched the speed of barcode scanners

I assume the original author meant to say: draining /dev/random does not affect the cryptographic quality of the random numbers produced by both devices. But yes, since there's only one entropy pool, attackers can drain &#x2F

I always find it a bit unfair when I see sloppy C programs used for shock value. What if the Rust developer uses fork().unwrap_or(default_value) in a hurry, or writes if let Some(child) = fork() { do_only_child_stuff(); }

For each example in the TLDR pages repository, find the corresponding man page on your system, render the markdown to groff, insert it as EXAMPLE section before AUTHOR/SEE ALSO or at the end of the file if these sections are missing.

If you want to get started with autotools, try to build yourself a minimal autotools project. Once you have a working stub, you already took the biggest hurdle. You only need to focus on two files: configure.ac, where you check for features

No, it wouldn't. The program is called clasp. Renaming it to potassco is like renaming Microsoft Excel to Microsoft Office. It's also years older than the LISP clasp. And finally, the program is an amazing piece of technology and

Google users feed Google with training data everyday, just by clicking on links and refining search queries. They basically tell Google what they were looking for. I have no idea how Google works, but I'd guess the user data plays a bi

Have you ever programmed C? Almost everything Go has is somehow related to C. Of Nim, Rust and Go, it's Go whose the closest programming language to C. That said, Go is the least suitable C replacement of these three.

I'm sorry but this is utter nonsense and shows the quality of most "Go lacks generics" discussions. Go manages to do so many things so much better than C [0], the boldness of your statement leaves me speechless. [0] Just to n

So how many programming languages besides LISP are powerful enough to support turning Protocol Buffers into code during compilation? And is this the ultimate must have?
