I don't think so. Outside of labs, I can't remember needing memory safety exploitation or hearing about a major compromise that used such an exploit.

I am not saying the security improvements are not real, just not orders of magnitude. For example some post exploitation stuff like BYOVD I am sure would be much harder.

A lot of vulns are just mistakes people made. Perhaps LLMs can help with that in the neat future but right now you hardly even need a CVE to compromise even well protected networks. A little phish here, a little abuse of legit software there, patiently look for services and credentials that aren't well protected and voila. Few actors use 0days and auto-updates have made 1-days hard to rely on

The solution is to pay for the storage you are using and store files on your own domain, one that you are willing to pay for a lifetime and/or even have a contract with relatives to maintain it if you want that content to survive you.

I have an imgur account, and I have uploaded some images as anonymous as well. I've always treated those as throwable content. I would never publish anything that I deem permanent in a third party server or gloud service.

Just to add to the anecdotes in this thread I'm pretty happy with my Nokia 5.4 purchased more than two years ago, battery still great and still getting security updates.

But yes, that sucks and seems like a major problem according to this primer from the ACCC:

Mentioning the ACCC may prompt them to resolve the matter but note that the ACCC doesn't resolve individual disputes. They use the reports to inform their work. You may need to go to your state Fair Trading commission or small claims tribunal.
The calculation given is probably not right, but every european (and ideally world-wide) infrastructure project will have a cost to benefit analysis. Even if just to decide on which project to build next.
You just noticed this? I've lived in this world of phone-zombies for years, it was a bit disturbing at first, but it seems they're not dangerous, you get used to it.
I was equally skeptical. I actually had two from the kickstarter and sold them at a con last year. Mostly because I didn't think I'd have the time or skill to really use them fully, but also because I live in Scandinavia and it seems like most of our security systems have evolved past simple radio and RFID.

Unless you actually swipe someone's RFID tag it has very little practical security use here.

But in other European countries I'm sure they still rely a lot on radio for gates and parking access.

It sounds very nice and morally fulfilling to denigrate any numerical calculus of welfare; but in the end you still have to deal with monetary budgets that represent limited societal supply of labor and resources.

You may try to take a moral high ground and say that people are more important than $X million, but those money also represent potential housing, cancer treatment research, green energy investment, etc that won’t be financed. You cannot get away from measuring value of time and toil of people, at least implicitly. Why not then make it explicit and be mindful of it?

Yes, it works for both Android and iOS.
I built a “dipping bird” boiler reset (metaphorically). Our old boiler had a fault where it would lock out every few months until manually reset. So, I wired a normally closed relay to it and a 10 line Arduino sketch to open the relay 1 minute out of every 120.

That ran for about 7 years; when I was researching replacing the boiler with air-to-water heat pump, I had to prove the house could be heated with lower temp water, so I changed to an ESP8266, added a platinum temperature sensor, a webserver, data logging, and ran a bunch of experiments with lower supply temps to see how the house would react.

It's largely unnecessary today. "Everyone" has a laptop and, for many of us, 90%+ of what we do day to day is in a browser.

You hit the nail on the head. But maybe this is only true for current society who is in love with a deformed image of what science really is. If you decouple science from applied crafts by having a more conservative society who is skeptic by default of anything new we can keep engineering, medicine and policies weak-link and science hard-link.

I'm just bitter that MO (Magneto-Optical) never caught on outside of Japan. It was basically a non-proprietary Minidisc for data, which in practice was a way more reliable alternative to Zip disk (and more expandable as it went from 230 MB to 640 MB to 1.3 GB over the years)

Green Fields of Opportunity: How RISC-V Is Changing the Way Our Industry Works
Nature does have decent pest control, but the way we do farming does basically everything to circumvent it.

If you were actively trying to encourage the development of new forms of highly specialized pests, setting up a continent-scale monoculture with low genetic diversity is pretty much the best way to do it. It's also largely how modern farming works.
Subway tunnels usually aren't that far from the surface, even those that dive/rise between stops. So they just dot in a few emergency stairs to the surface if stops are too far apart. This tram tunnel however apparently is a shortcut through some mountain (because otherwise, the bike sibling wouldn't make much difference), so the emergency exit problem isn't easily solved by digging vertically.
Title is misleading. The milk was contaminated with feces and stored at stored at high temperature.
I don't think the claim is that Rust is faster than C++ in general. Rather, they mention this to address the worry that there is always a performance penalty for safety. This example (and many others) show that Rust doesn't compromise on performance. You won't always get 5-15% improvements, but it'll always be competitive.
I think in simpler terms these ideas are successfully applied in green houses
Heads up… Your scaling seems broken in iOS. There’s a scrollbar but some of the content is still cut off.
Anything a business needs. The idea is to actually hunt for a business owner that has problems and they don't care about the programming language you use to solve the problems. When I quote the estimated hours of some application they need in Delphi vs React or C# or whatever other programming language they heard through the vine is good for them, they always choose Delphi. In the end they care about problem solving, not the tech behind.
I would bet on this being more of a cultural preference thing. In Ireland, which would have broadly similar incomes to the wealthier continental European countries, you see quite a lot of Apple watches, but, yeah, they do seem much less popular in, say, Germany.

You're guessing I think. Phishing of some sort is by far the most reliable and used method. CVEs that get exploited are rarely using memory exploits but they do happen and affect companies and people that refuse to update their stuff to the most part. There is just rarely the need to spend time to develop memory exploits because on every consumer OS there is some sort of memory-safety protection. At least DEP or ASLR unless you get lucky and and the software or shared libs have all that disabled or reliable rop gadgets are found.

I think this question was posed more at locked-down platforms like consoles.
It’s possible to design an algorithm which branches and is also constant time. If, for all inputs, the instruction length (# of instructions executed) is the same even for different branch paths, then they must all run in the same time. This, of course, isn’t accounting for different (microscopic) execution times of individual instructions, but constant time isn’t really a measure of clock time anyway.
After pushing to a branch, gitlab sends you back a URL where you can create the merge request (MR). This broke my flow because I do all my development using command line tools.

So I created this tool that opens an MR off the branch I'm on. It opens up my favorite editor and asks me for a title and a description in the same way that git does for commits. It splits it in first line for title and the rest for the body.

It's very simple but I'm very happy with it. Now I extended it to list the open MRs, show the tickets in the current sprint, etc...

Nobody else in my company uses it tbh, but I don't care because it solves _my_ problem and I love it.
I know, I was making fun. Just putting bike and trucks in the same sentence and comparing their infrastructure needs is already too far for me.
Yep, modern LDOs can maintain 0.2-0.3V with good regulation, but older cheaper ones are a diode drop (~0.6V) or two.
> Why can't we support and encourage cycling without vilifying cars in these threads?

Because cars pollute the air I breath, car horns constantly stress me, because politicians and city planners will use cars as a justification to develop cities as asphalt wastelands, because pedestrians and bikers are killed daily by unruly car drivers and so on. Plus somehow cars manage to bring out the worst in every person. Road rage is a thing.

> Everybody has a car and bicycle (at least one) and uses whatever fits the purpose at the time.

I don't have a car. I either bike, walk or use public transportation. I don't even live in an area where public transportation is great.

> scooters and motorcycles are often a better compromise

Still deadly in accidents and still polluting. The only thing that would make sense is low speed electric scooters, but those dont work well either in suburban sprawls like the US and Canada have.

The irony is that social medias let underage publish sexualized but not totally nude content but remove aggressively informationnal content from doctors, sex therapists, feminists, pelvic floor physical therapists. The fact you see genitals pictures or drawing doesn't make something pornographic.

And then you realize that millions of women and men around the world don't even know how a human body really work, potentially take wrong decisions, live an unfulfilled/disappointing sexual life all this because of lack of access to information and an history of myths and obscurantism.

It is a much bigger problem than kids looking at tits and genitals really [1]

The SyncThing developers wrote on their website that they don't offer an iOS client because Apple doesn't properly support background processing. It seems that the SyncThing developers don't care about iOS.

But here's the beauty of Open Source: anyone can download the source code and try to get it running on iOS.

Now Möbius found a way to get SyncThing kinda working on iOS, and for a small fee you can install it on your iPhone. The wrapper they built around SyncThing isn't open source, but for Möbius customers that doesn't really matter. They just want something that works. And through the beauty of Open Source, someone was able to build it for them, and they get to make a little money with it!

Only tangentially related, but I'm a bit dissapointed by Google Maps: when searching for this tunnel (and the tram line that it doubles as an escape tunnel for), all the copyright notices are from 2023, but there is no trace of it to be seen. I was expecting to at least see the construction works (these things usually take years to complete), but nothing. And there's also no "transit" layer for Bergen. Gotta do better than that Google if you want to be seen as "eco-friendly", offering fuel-saving driving alternatives doesn't quite cut it... Bing Maps is a bit better, it shows some early to mid stage construction work - it looks like the area of the tunnel mouth has been cleared, and an overpass has been constructed for a road, but no tracks to be seen anywhere yet. And the imagery is lower-res than Google Maps. And no transit layer either...

Hello!

This looks really interesting to me.

There is a feature I would like that I have never seen in a scripting language, and I wonder if Scrap might support it:

> Monadic bind points and applicative join points in the script language

Hopefully an example can convey what I mean.

Bind:

do {
let! x = some_value_in_a_monad

x + 1
}

Applicative:

do {
let! x = some_value_in_a_monad
and! y = another_value_in_a_monad

(x + y) * y
}

Now when I embed this script, I would like my runtime interpreter to provide implementations of `let!` and `and!`. The script author defines the bind points and the runtime defines the effects.

Is this possible in Scrap?
