    802.1x is quite trivial to bypass if you have an authenticated device (in this case the intercom) that you can transparently bridge[1]. [1]. https://www.defcon.org/images/defcon-19…

    Something about that headline really irks me. I think GitHub is an amazing place for people to share code, I also think it’s really nice of them to do this. But the maintainers are…

    Without having looked into it too deeply I feel that they are somewhat “cheating” by using a superserver to launch a new process for each connection, thus letting the OS handle the…

    A CPU can halt as a power saving measure, and still respond to interrupts.

    I don’t know where the files for the mouse are (or if they’ve been released), but the design files for the trackball can be found here [1]. [1] https://github.com/ploopyco/classic-…

    I have one of the full size Ploopy trackballs, and it feels really good in the hand. It is 3D-printed, and it shows, but the texture of it feels pretty nice when using it. I strugg…

    It's worth to know that the watch also tracks HRV whenever you use the Breathe app, so if you want to get consistent HRV readings the easiest way is to use Breathe once a day (for …

    That was their April fools joke though.

    > Could I have done all that in a single shell, then had it automatically cleaned up when I was done? Yes, that is a pretty standard workflow for most nix users. You either set up …

    Why would anyone use rdrand directly? Seems like user space applications should use getrandom() or /dev/urandom and the kernel should use rdrand as a complementary random number so…

    That’s exactly what I meant as well. SQL may be the implementation, but if so with a well designed exposed schema, not with the application internals.

    When it comes to modern web development I’m more of an observer than a contributor, so my opinion might not carry a lot of weight. However for me all these abstractions seems to ge…

    I believe you might be confusing it with Voat.

    I believe the correct way to protect against ReDOS is to use one of the many regular expression implementations that do not have exponential worst cases. Nowadays there are good DF…

    If I want to decrypt a message to you that I have intercepted I can create my own email containing a modification of the intercepted message and send it to you, causing you to send…

    The only difference I’ve seen is a function that converts Keras models into TensorFlow estimators.

    You could take a look at tobii [1]. They make some interesting products where they combine eye tracking, speech analysis and other stuff to create user interfaces for people with s…

    I would recommend you to try the intel python distribution. Comes with highly optimized numpy, scipy, matplotlib, pandas and so on. Everything compiled with icc and linked with MKL…

    This is a classic trick, and as you write could be used for performance benefits in the old day. However, the semantics differ from just using a temporary variable in that if a and…

    To be honest, nonce reuse with Bernsteins authenticated encryption algorithms will lead to the same problem as those the author points out with GCM (i.e. plaintext recovery). Howev…
