> - you need to either tell people how to set their core.editor, or how to quit vim.

You'll pry vim from my cold dead fingers.
yes there is. \x25\xff\x00\x00\x00\x00 where 0 is a 32 bit displacement to a memory location that contains a 64 bit constant is what i use: jmp [disp] but you need to be able to place the constant +- 32bits. This is really hard for x64 on windows, since VirtualAlloc gives you no guarantees, i used to walk pages manually now i just new/delete in a loop and hope for the best.

There's also:

push rax

mov rax, 0xDEADBEEFDEADBEEF

xchg qword ptr ss:[rsp], rax

ret

but i dont like it as much since it touches stack (technically more detectable since you overwrite stuff at rsp - 8). RSP & RAX are original values after that gadget though.

Also fun fact. My library supports JIT-ing, so you can create the stub that the hook jmps to at runtime and it will JIT translation logic for the calling convention and pack the args + ret value into a structure that can be modified. So you can hook unknown functions at runtime.
IBM is a consulting company, and the open source business model is all about consulting, so I don't know what threat you're referring to. In any case, while you may use air quotes, they invested actual hard cash at a time when Linux was struggling to gain a foothold and was not considered a serious UNIX challenger. I'm not saying Linux owes them everything, but it sure does help when a giant company like IBM backs you.
Kept going until about a quarter of the way in but I just couldn't finish it. It is told very matter of factly — not, I'm afraid, conducive to keeping my interest. YMMV, of course.
It's corporate speak for "we decided to pull the plug but don't want to admit to it until we can get enough people using the new browser who will hopefully like it enough to stay".
I know there are a lot of crypto skeptics here, but if you believe in Bitcoin more than Tether at least then you should buy Bitcoin...if Tether does indeed fail Bitcoin will almost certainly spike past 2017 highs.
I'm not familiar with this exact setup, but I am assuming you have full control over the router software, but want to limit any installation or configuration of either the browser's computer or the local network fileservers.

> Subnet IPs are always different tho. Can I really get a cert for all subnet addresses?

SSL certs don't usually have anything to do with the IP address, that is usually handled by the hosts file / DNS entries.

There is no reason the non-profit can't get a domain and a free SSL cert and distribute that cert and it's private key with the router software as a default while allowing admins to install/configure their own domain and SSL cert.

The router can then MITM all requests to that domain using a SSL termination proxy for the file server.
In addition to fake news problem, real news problem.
I paid for Pinboard long ago—its vibe did strike something with me. (Back then I was using online bookmark managers, did not have the habit of paying for software, times were different). I stopped using it shortly after I paid for it though. I needed to save a lot of reading I had open in tabs once, and bookmarklet stopped functioning—I went to the main site and the UI was behaving erratically as well, so I figured APIs must be down or something.

The reason I left was not so much the outage itself but the fact that I paid for the service, while the free ones were right there available for me (Delicious anyone?). I felt a bit silly paying for the vibe and not something more primary.

EDIT: This was years ago, hopefully it’s more reliable now though I haven’t been following them too closely.
What Are the Remedies for Vastu Defects in the Kitchen? (Part 1)Vaastu Tips
Show HN: Practice data science interview questions in a newsletter
As far as our current understanding goes, yes. But it looked very different in the first billion years.
Curious. I have a colleague who works from China a couple times a year and VPNs in to work (a well known US company) using Cisco AnyConnect[1] and tells me he's never had any trouble.

1. Which has an alternative open source client – http://www.infradead.org/openconnect/
I was annoyed by the "traps" item as well, especially given some of the other shite advice in the article... However, after some thought, I can see some rationals behind this (even if the author didn't see the same way).

1) Makes it really easy to filter out a large portion of bot applications.

2) Filter out applicants who application spamming, similar to the above bothavior.

3) Filter out applicants who don't read posts or instructions thoroughly. For some types of work this would be a daft filter, but I do actually want my devs to be hungry for minutiae, especially with life-altering decision making.
But, but, but... the bill specifically says that they're excluded from the spying! So they're totally immune from that risk! /s

Yes, I'll laugh when their pants inevitably fall down. I wonder what the reaction will be.

But seriously, I have to wonder what these politicians want the endgame to be. A police state isn't good for anyone, including them.

I used to think Australia was the best country and think they were trying their best for Australia's interests, but they are busily removing the good things about Australia at a really scary rate. I don't want to trade a minor increase in "safety" for living in a surveillance dystopia, which is 100% where we're headed.
Then again, we are in discussion regarding PHP, so someone's bound to point out we're a bunch of neanthardal barbarians just because of that. So it could have been just a kneejerk reaction.
About that.

The first stars appeared very early, and lasted for a very short time, so this may be a huge timespan.
You're assuming they want to learn. I've seen devs work with svn for years which is conceptually much simpler and they still don't know how branching and merging work, they'll do things like checkout each branch separately and copy files over rather than merge.

Edit - also a favourite interview question for anyone that claims to be familiar with svn is "what does the switch command do", a quick and easy filter to seperate those that know from those that claim to know.
You are aware there are many slime instagram accounts and channels that involve nothing but footage of their hands manipulating slime? I'm not sure what part of that involves being young and attractive.
I'll just refer to my other comment. It may very well have been the right treatment, but I also don't think it's the right move make a patient continue using it and not even change the dosage when it's doing no good. I was instructed to continue to take it despite him eventually moving on to viral, then STD, then HIV, despite my condition getting progressively worse.

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=20398927
Fair enough, but that can be countered by very minimal disclosure in the beginning, just that a vulnerability exists and it has been notified.

Even if we don't do that, I think we should at least reveal the issue after it's been fixed in all the cases so that other entities can learn from that.
I wrote a script a while ago that automatically creates a subdomain on a domain I own and registers a Let’s Encrypt certificate for this exact purpose. I’ve found it very useful as it will work even for local addresses and dynamic addresses. (It will update the dns record and renew the cert on futher invocations.)

I do wish there was a public solution offering this type of easy dynamic DNS with https. (Sharing the script I wrote could cost a lot on dns hosting and increased server expenses.)
This is just fantastic sniping! You should both keep going, it's pretty good entertainment!
Even corrupt governments won't be able to operate without some level of support from its citizens. I doubt gun control is relevant here.

Besides, if firearms can stop government corruption, how come police violence is still a thing in the US? If citizens can overpower the military with firearms, they should at least be able to overpower corrupt cops.
Yes, but it is projected to last for < ~0.1% of the overall lifespan.
Microsoft's moves to become more developer (and Linux) friendly are undoubtedly paying off. It's my understanding from recent data -- although I can't find a linkable reference at the moment -- that Apple laptops are still the #1 choice on college campuses by a substantial margin, but this could certainly be changing. (K-12 schools are full of Chromebooks, but anecdotally, that doesn't seem to be translating into a preference for sticking with them after high school.)
Yep, time is the universes only dimension the earth is not a tiny and insignificant blip on, so far anyway.
Allowing the host to unmute participants is pretty invasive too. First time someone did that to me I was floored.
Using phages to treat infections (phage therapy) has traditionally been suppressed in the West, but is making a comeback with a few high-profile case studies in recent years. Tom Patterson had an atb resistant Acinetobacter baumannii infection that was cured with phages [1]. His wife wrote a book about it (The Perfect Predator) that is a good read review of the field. More recently, a patient with cystic fibrosis was cured of a Mycobacterium abscessus infection with phage therapy [2].

These therapies are currently very expensive and time consuming, as they require custom testing of libraries of phage against the specific microbial isolate. There have not been any successful large scale clinical trials yet.

For a good review of the field (but behind academic paywall), see [3]

> So this timing is either very unlikely, or biogenesis has a high probability of happening, or the initial life got seeded from off planet

Or life can only appear on young planets (maybe while it's hot), or some astronomical event triggered it (Moon?), or there are enough hard steps on the path to intelligence that it couldn't appear if life took too long to form. It's a good question anyway.

> So that means that biogenesis happened only once.

Life has repeatedly shown a tendency of consuming all available raw matter and populating every niche. Biogenesis happening only once is completely non-surprising.

The question of where life originated will have no good answer until we figure out how to create life from basic components. We still don't know how to do that yet.

Yes, Urey and Miller showed that you could get simple organic molecules by passing an electric charge through gasses thought to be present around the early Earth.

But going from low molecular weight inputs to life is a vastly different problem. You could think of it as the most complicated bootstrapping problem in the universe.

Nobody has managed to do it in the lab, either. What can't be built from scratch can't be understood very well, and therein lies the problem.

If we had a stepwise procedure for building a self-replicating, self-feeding organism of any level of complexity from base components, we would know exactly what to look for.

Until then, the idea of sending a DNA amplifier to Mars isn't a bad fallback position.
If it is not decentralised it defies the whole point of the solution. You then don't need a distributed decentralised network of independent transaction validators aka miners. You don't need any blockchain solution for it all. You can as well stick with MySQL and call it PayPal v2. Paypal also uses a lot of "cryptography" in its solutions but it doesn't make it a cryptocurrency. How many validation nodes are there in ripple? Less than a hundred. Can someone with bad intention and CPU power overtake it? No. It is a payment solution that is using parts of bitcoin ideas for no reason, really, rather than making quick cash on the hype.
That sounds too fancy. If it operates on a given directory, you can write a very simple wrapper shell script to do that with tar.
Amusingly enough, the standard menu position for Quit on the Mac is at the bottom of the menu… _now_ the Uninstall Zoom option is at the bottom of the menu, making it easy to accidentally invoke if you're used to selecting the last item there to quit. (I happened to have my hand on the mouse rather than keyboard at the time… normally I'd just cmd-Q).
IBM and Red Hat FAQ for Communities
I think he is a fraud. He constantly states he hates the media attention but then does a Netflix show and goes on Joe Rogan. Why would you want the maximum possible exposure to yourself when you stated so many times that you don’t like the attention. Don’t mind the fact that he has presented zero proof towards anything of extraterrestrial nature. He makes many claims none of which can be verified. Ok, so you had a biometric device on base you were not aware of, so what? Just because YOU don’t think the tech doesn’t exist, doesn’t make it true.
I'm confused. Does the patch now make it to where if you drag the app to the trash, it actually uninstalls?
Plane's 'spinner' filmed bouncing around in engine before emergency landing
Interesting.

I am guessing the length of the jump itself is probably important for some reason. But if you could afford to overwrite ~16 bytes, maybe you can store the address inside the imm64 of another instruction. Length issues aside, it shouldn’t break nested hooking at least.
Does anyone know if this issue (and the BlueJeans one) would only affect the current user account?

I currently have a separate limited user account just for meetings, and that’s where I install various meeting apps. So in my case is there any way to know if it affected all my accounts or just the one?

SELinux is not purely Red Hat innovation, it largely came from the NSA's Trusted Systems Research Group[0]. That said, you shouldn't be turning off SELinux. Its like saying you should just chmod 777 all your files as you otherwise cannot figure out why your web server won't host your PHP script. On a basic level, it really doesn't take too long to figure out how it works and how to get whatever you're doing play nice with type enforcement.

I get the idea that companies can get their basic O365 licensing set up easily on their own, but once you wade into Exchange and MDM, it takes some good road miles to know how to implement things correctly. A lot of SMBs w/o IT departments will still need IT partners, certified or not.
They do! A non-commercial license is free, and have a very liberal interpretation of this:

> A purpose is considered non-commercial only if the SOFTWARE is exclusively used to actively work on open-source projects, for learning or teaching on a public academic institution, in the spare time to manage projects where you don't get financial compensation for (hobby usage), by public charitable organizations primarily targeting philanthropy, health research, education or social well-being.

The argument is that antibiotics are not going to be a attractive target for any pharma, big or small. If you develop a new antibiotic that kills resistant bacteria effectively, it's going to be an antibiotic of last resort, heavily regulated and rarely used. Less profitable. Without government interventions to incentivize development of new antibiotics, I don't believe we'll see pharma take on the challenge alone.

Meanwhile, we've seen that Hep C cures can be (extremely) profitable. See also Luxterna (gene therapy for inherited blindness).

No. The Internet, social networks and other distractions actually cause a slight decrease in intelligence due to shortening of the attention span.

So if we fix the problem with the attention span, we can increase intelligence even further, I believe.

Of course there is, there are entire airlines that only offer a single-class cabin. The whole LCC sector in Europe is based around the principle, as are Frontier and Spirit in the USA.

Now you can pay more for early-boarding or more cabin baggage or a flexi ticket but the hard product is the same.

Just a hypothesis, but often intelligence is a proxy for the mental and social stimulus a child is exposed to in their formative years. So you would expect that to grow and then taper off as the useful limit of childhood well-being is reached. Since childhood enrichment is heavily indexed to wealth in most couuntries...
Sure, not legally, but relative to the life experience required to even somewhat competently navigate the complexities of the modern world, 18 year olds are functionally children. Your entire life to that point is school, for many people, sheltered from the harsher realities of life and finances.

That entrance and exit loan counseling is a privilege for sure. I just graduated from a top 25 ranked private school and was never given loan counseling, and none of my peers were either. Thankfully I picked a high paying field, succeeded in it, and had parents with a ton of financial knowledge to help me effectively plan how to pay for it all, but the vast majority of my peers had no such luck on those three fronts. It’s especially telling that you went to school two decades ago, as no one going to school right now legitimately thinks the college student loan process is clearly presented in terms that are easy for the AVERAGE 18 year old to understand. Meanwhile, the costs have gone up...I don’t know, at least 100% since you went to school? Shit, tuition went up 4 grand while I was still in school.

It's not much more clear, but it is a standard, which has many advantages:

- Learn how .then()/.catch() works once and it's the same for all libraries.

- Can test against a common API.

- Can combine operations easily like with Promise.all(), which was very difficult with callbacks.

- Chaining is much better since you can return a promise within a promise, which allows for conditional promises.

- No nesting/right shifting, keeping the structure flatter.

It appears that it's sometimes because it's easier in terms of internal accounting for airlines to adjust pricing that way. In other cases, some taxes may be a percentage of the fare, not the surcharge, allowing a lower all-inclusive price with the same amount of profit for the airline.
Correct me if I'm wrong, this is a political movement aiming at winning more support and allies from people of mainland China, and hence putting more pressure on the government. My comment just points out there are some negative factors for current organizers. They could have done better.

Information freedom is politically correct, but that doesn't mean tactics or investigation isn't important before conveying information to certain group of people to achieve a political goal practically.

Btw, CCP puts great stress on these two peculiar notions. Propaganda appears far more than restriction and misinformation.
