In this specific case, it's quite possible that the gate agent, being a costumer service worker, didn't want a fuss. If someone comes to a gate agent with a boarding pass, they're most likely not double-spending the pass, and suggesting otherwise to them would be a quick way to a tweet saying "today I bought a plane ticket, and when I tried boarding I was told I already boarded and they refused to reimburse me, do not fly [airline]". Of course it would have been the "correct" course of action here but as someone who has interacted with The Public, the gate agent did their best.
What work does "individually" do in this last sentence? Can 2 evil services collaborate (or more realistically 2 non-evil services get breached) to extract part of the secret? What is the mechanism keeping me from setting up n realms and extracting secrets from their shared info?
It seems automattic is realizing that there is value in being "the established service that does what the giants are doing but isn't the giants". Personally and I think the HN crowd would agree with me, I see the value proposition in using Tumblr, beeper, WordPress over their competitors, simply because automattic has amassed a lot of consumer trust in not running things into the ground and making interesting things out of software that seems like it shouldn't be there.
Don't x64 binaries have to be 4k-aligned or something like that? I remember a video about runnable qr codes where this was a major point because they had to do trickery to make windows run binaries that were less than that.
A lot. It's the same reason amazon doesn't sell servers and instead gives you access to a single instance that everyone pretends is the same but in reality is massively transient.
Sure, but as long as apple will play hardball like they're clearly doing, they could very well enforce app store rules as app signing rules and it'd be years before the eu would force them to stop, not even counting on the fact that current app signing rules are already insane.
Well, except that they do. TFA says that the clipboard app in question had to include a map because it requires a dirty workaround to stay active in the background, at apple's demands. Yes, they're not "app store rules" and they're "notarization rules" but the end result is the same, they could choose to make those rules the same and yeah maybe a European court could force them to comply but in reality land apple has more money and lawyers than god.
Unfortunately on firefox for Android 13 on my nothing phone (2a) almost all on-screen assets flicker non-stop. I thought I was a style decision at first but now that I'm further down it's very clearly a bug.
Still very cool, learned about pareto efficiency from a video about this exact topic a few years ago that only computed the pareto front for accel and speed because they couldn't represent higher dimensions well. Maybe same author?
This doesn't even need to be a hypothetical. We know that the attacked currently do not need to do this, because they don't. Darwin's law is very much in effect for scams of all types.
Steam simply stores games in it's install folder, and while downloading the (compressed) game files it keeps them fragmented in a separate directory. As far as I can tell it doesn't employ special low-level APIs, because on lower power hardware (and even sometimes on gaming gear) the bottleneck is often the decompression step. This is what steam is doing when you are downloading a game and it stops using the network but the disk usage is going and the processor gets pinned at 100%.
I also heard of this happening to regular users downloading stuff with safari. It is simply terrible design on apple's part that you can kill a macOS install simply by filling it up so much that it becomes possible to not be able to delete files.
Often times you'll find that consumer drives that are limping around do fail smart checks and would absolutely flash a red light and send out a monitoring alert were they in an enterprise enclosure. While there is probably truth to what you're saying, I think the enterprise is also just way more proactive at testing drives and calling them dead the instant the smart checks fail, where consumers don't typically use crystaldiskinfo.
In my experience with enterprise SSDs (which yeah aren't the same but that's what I have to offer), SSDs with sequential serial numbers and identical on-times, in the same RAID array, can have wildly different actual endurance. Some storage servers I used to admin had SSDs lasting longer than 2 neighbor replacements from the same original box, and this happened at least twice.
I stopped being worried about on-times after that for SSDs. HDDs are still quite correlated (on the order of months) but if you're building the server you have to put the disks in it at some point.
Rainbolt also uses car meta in specific scénarios (Kenya is obviously a big one), it's just that it's obviously less impressive so it doesn't make it into viral videos. If you watch streams it's quite evident he's very aware of car meta.
False dichotomy much? It doesn't have to be a motivated state actor pulling the strings from the begging. It could also just be some guy, who decided he didn't care anymore and either wanted to burn something or got paid by someone (possibly a state actor) to do this.
Maybe it's just because I do that a lot, but imo potential candidates that are HN readers already know how to do this, if there are no gotchas. I find leetcoee considerably harder.
I get where you're going, but also consider the level is 17 seconds long. It's not unreasonable to think he just ran it a few times until the clocks decided to cooperate.
I don't think there's much of one. The concept in itself isn't really useful, I've never seen someone go "you know the real problem with sshd? It's too bloated".
It is slightly useful to put in smaller devices that don't have much space but I think it still relies on top many linux facilities to be an appropriate fix for that too. Still, cool project.
The do have some use. Take for example the AI images of the pope wearing luxury brands that someone made about last year. They clearly wanted to make it as a joke, not to purposefully misinform people, and as long as everybody is in on the joke then I see no issue with that. But some people who weren't aware of current AIgen capabilities took it as real and an AI tag would have avoided the discussion of "has AI art gone too far" while still allowing that person to make their joke.
It tries. Accelerometer-based positioning is best used with camera displacement, which isn't used in Google maps driving mode (though there was? Is? An experimental on-foot mode that showed directions in AR).
the accel-based positioning I'm pretty sure is implemented app-side, not os-side, but I could be mistaken.
