Ah yes, that makes sense. However, it may work with the article's process - a 100x100 png with lots of 2GB-of-nothing iTXt chunks could be gzipped and served with `Content-Encoding…

Is there a reason the malicious part of the payload has to be pixels? You could have a 100x100px image with 000s of 2GB iTXt chunks, no? That would bypass naive header checks that …

As I understand it, that’s not _strictly_ true. 17% live in “rural” areas, but this includes towns and villages in rural areas. It’s 8% for “rural village and fringe” [0], or much …

read between the lines? huge success... I'm still alive... valve?

I'm always torn by these posts. I love perl's (well Moo's) class definitions - the simple, obvious way to make immutable objects combined with the `lazy` pattern fits really well w…

Not quite - that was his initial implementation which he described as "That’s not good at all, but I was trying to work within Perl’s limitations". The corinna syntax is class Poin…

It's because "volume limit" is fuzzy. It's more like cpu turbo boost - if you put a lot of frequency energy into the speakers they will overheat, but not instantly. Most vendors ju…

Studio monitor speaker (speaker for monitoring what you're creating, eg https://www.musicradar.com/news/the-best-studio-monitors-and... ), not speaker-in-a-monitor

It has been interesting watching this develop, if for no other reason that Express is somewhat stuck after TJ left to make koa[0] and hasn't changed much since 2014. Express 5 has …

Parts per million, not parts per billion. [1] Yes, H2O is the strongest greenhouse gas, but its concentration (~5000ppm average) is limited by temperature and it will condense out …

Yay, you're one of today's lucky 10,000 [0]! There are different types of UUIDs [1]. MySQL generates version 1 UUIDs - you can tell by the first digit of the third block. It looks …

if you press a letter and control, it generates the control character in the left-hand column. the letters in the third column are A = 1, B = 2 etc: 40h + the position in the alpha…

A lack of search across a repo is pretty annoying. https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/2874/ability-to-sea... Integration with Jira is nice though.

Not true, sorry. Without the scottish seats, the only real difference in the last 50 years is that the current coalition would be pure-tory. See http://theweebluebook.com/assets/im…

To a competitor? Depends if people blame barracuda or can trace the cracking back to you. Are you thinking of switching a bitcoin mining operation into a cracking-passwords-to-put-…

I played a bit of elite Back In The Day (speccy, got to Deadly). I always assumed that Eve online was pretty much exactly what the blogger described. Spaceships, freedom, trading. …

AIUI the USA version is "I could care less, if I really tried hard."

Agreed. We use mod_unique to add a header to each response and make sure it's included in each error log, back end access log and front end access log as well as being viewable via…

I guess the reason that the US thinks that 220V is unsafe is the plug socket design? Could you adopt a new plug for existing 220V appliances (AIUI you have 220v for washing machine…

The panels on the tree are higher than those on the flat plane - you'd expect to get more light for longer from that alone.

We halved build times going from velociraptors to x25-e for a fairly big flash build. Made more of a difference than core2duo to i7 extreme

Prompted me to run a quick version over our weblogs. You rapidly end up with big black splodges if you squish the time axis. I overcame this by multiplying the pixel colour by 0.8 …

I'm finding omnigraffle's dot import and auto-layout useful for flowcharting. I write dot layouts by hand then pretty them up in omnigraffle.
