Most issues can be solved by RTFM. They don't seem to have ever considered that...

I don't know if this is the case here, but I have witnessed several instances in the open source community where someone offer to help with a boring/fastidious task and some tempor…

Not to mention, you would need to first train a model on your target for the fingerprint to work. That doesn't seem even remotely useful in practice.

Well, it was more for the overconfidence meaning than the arrogance one.

While I mostly agree with what you say, the thing is Django was probably asked what was the best way to ship the laptop, but he probably just didn't know : - he is from neighboring…

Not necessarily startup. You can see some laptops with defcon stickers, it used to be very common for infosec auditors to have work laptops full of stickers not that long ago. Alth…

As a native french speaker, I have the same feeling when reading code written with french keywords, except that since I learned boolean and arithmetic in french, it makes more sens…

I may be wrong, but it gives me some powershell vibe. Since it seems to be targeted for macOS, I would assume it "solves" the lack of powershell equivalent on Mac ?

Optimizing code on MMU-less processor versus MMU and even NUMA capable processor is vastly different. The fact that the author achieves only a 3 to 6 times speedup on a processor r…

I've had him as a sociology teacher in the early 2000s, specifically on this subject (controversies). It was apparently his first time in this school, and he was not prepared for t…

Oh, thanks for the links. What it says it that the statue should have been in bronze, but is instead in "ferrous metal" and must have been replaced around september 2005. Anyway, t…

The english version is weird. It was planned from the beggining that they would bury a bronze owl. The bronze owl was to be exchanged with the precious metal one. In the french new…

Or on official tables according to the International Table Soccer Federation. From what I've seen during my travels, there are lot of variations for foosball tables. Each countries…

> I wonder if the French are considering digging underneath all those obstacles? The problem is the Seine phreatic zone, which starts usually between 15 to 25m below the surface. S…

Yes, they explicitly classify wikipedia as a tertiary source [1]. Wikipedia is good for finding secondary source, and then primary sources by following the links. [1] https://en.wi…

then, why not just using qualifiers ? from slowest to fastest. You might not know that, but you can develop bare metals solution for HPC that are used in several industries like te…

I don't get how expressing these numbers in time unit is useful ? I've been a developer for embedded systems in the telecom industry for nearly two decades now, and I had never met…

Actually their argument was that all other major browsers behaved like that. You can check with chrome, and indeed it behaves like firefox. For the user hostility, there argument w…

While I get your point, I kept wondering why the police would continue harassing him while reading the article. I came up with two reasons: - Inflated incidence response, probably …

You might have read that wrong. The article acknowledges the added complexity: > "hybrid solutions make implementations even more complex". > If the words are taken purely at face …

> Like everything back then it was probably accomplished by exploiting trust relationships That's wrong on many levels. Bold and stupid "hacks" committed by teenagers using SE tend…

You didn't get a warning for that in 2003... or maybe with the pedantic flag. And even if it were the case, it would have been drowned by all the other unfixed warnings... The only…

The guy who did it was quite vocal about it in some circles. It was a "for the lulz" kind of hack...

The 50% goal is against an adaptative adversary. For some reason, Zero Knowledge Proof[1] came to my mind, so I interpreted the goal as reaching a 50% accuracy on the oracle side. …
