I’m intrigued by this course. However I’m also curious about its prerequisite: > Machine Learning (e.g. CS221, CS229, CS230, CS124, CS224N) You should be comfortable with the basic…

From my reading, it looks they're considering this for only non HTTPS downloads initiated from an HTTPS page Relevant quotes: > ... we will likely start by treating certain high-ri…

If someone does that with one of my (custom domain) addresses, it won’t work, here’s what I implemented: https://zackorndorff.com/2015/03/10/disposable-email-address... (To save yo…

Locally-installed root CAs are allowed by HSTS, so if you added the HTTPS proxy to the root store, this would work without warning, unless you manually checked the certificate. Of …

So what happens if a hacker hacks company A and uses their server as a jump box to hack company B? Is company B allowed to hack A since their machine was used in an attack? Or even…

> log in with some criteria more than just a username/password The problem there is that captive portals don't add any extra link-layer security. The network is open, so literally …

Very well said. To directly answer GP's question: I took a differential equations class last semester, where the easy part of quite a few problems was to solve a quadratic equation…

You can do something similar with bash. If you set PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a', it'll append to the history file right after the command completes (because the prompt command is ru…

radare2 is a disassembler, not a decompiler. Disassembly is a much easier task than decompilation, since it's a mostly mechanical process. Decompilation requires you to undo the op…

Have you gotten Windows to work well as a guest? I could never get it to work as well as it does with VirtualBox.

Ah, okay, that makes more sense. I guess maybe it was to enable touch on some websites?

I'm curious as to what good reason there is to have the Android user-agent string contain "Mobile Safari"... The rest of it looks like fairly standard user-agent string antics.

It doesn't compile though -- I hope. I'm pretty sure C keywords require a space on either side...

Also, somewhere in GNOME settings, there's a setting to enable "emacs mode", which lets you use ^a, ^e, ^k, ^y in normal textboxes.

> Which would work if licenses and copyrights didn't exist. I don't think it would. Dynamic linking allows a library to be patched once and have the patch apply to all the programs…

I feel like just having a browser extension is a major security hole for any password manager. Yes it's more usable and prevents domain spoofing, but it makes the attack surface hu…

> The bug is in bad js authored by CF No, the bug is definitely in the browser. Web code is untrusted and should not be able to adversely affect the browser.

I'm curious: what do you use to enter insert mode then?

Some recent distros will actually let you run that as yourself, without root, if you're physically present at the machine. It's convenient for personal machines.
