But even the unreasonable must first see the world as it is, so that he can adapt it to himself. I'm not advocating that we accept the status quo, but I do take issue with not seeing the status quo for what it is.

Far as their public stuff goes, I'd tend to agree with you. If the OpenBSD folks published a course like this, though...

To me it falls in a similar category as how highly intelligent people are less likely to be overweight. I think that with intelligence comes a better sense of how to control oneself. Ever seen the stats on how often lottery winners end up g

I'd predict they have a plan to replace it with some GitHub-specific metadata. That would enhance lock-in and follow the usual Microsoft strategy.

Yeah. If there's an evolutionary aspect to the increase, we should expect to see c-sections as a generational phenomena, and correlated with cranium size. I wonder if that study has been done.

I'm guessing there'll be a big uptick in adoption once zig passes 1.0. At least for me, I'm just waiting until the syntax stabilizes, so I don't have to change my code later on or relearn how to do things.

I think that's why sleep has been called the 'little death' since ancient times. In a sense, you die every time you sleep, and wake up a slightly different person. Edit: ya'll have dirty minds. Homer refers to 'slee

I imagine there's a psychological barrier to upgrading a plan. Make the customer break that barrier on their own, due to the necessities of their current usage, and they'll have less compunction to upgrade later on. Psychological

The articles I linked used the two words interchangably. Clearly that distinction isn't relevant to the layperson audience. You're just playing with words.

If these were internal memos among domain experts, then understanding the nuances between "100% effective" and "immune" would be expected. But when the vaccine is being sold to the general population as "100% effe

Ok, let me quote exactly what I just said: "We're talking about if they were ever claimed to be 100% effective....if you overpromise at the beginning, you lose your credibility, and then you get cheap shots."

Thanks!

Yeah, that's why I figure it's the bit of loose solder that's the ultimate cause. My solution was to remove the whole mechanism and the solder with it.

Looks like there's one here: https://github.com/hfiref0x/VBoxHardenedLoader/blob/master/B... Alternately, it seems that QEMU on linux does a pretty good job as well.

Thanks, I'll try that.

Good point. I guess that would be relatively easy to check for programmatically. What else is there that could possibly indicate virtualization? Available instruction sets? Strange limitations of the given CPU? (e.g., the cpu presents itsel

I imagine a script could be used with qemu - given that patch you mentioned, which I would love a source for if you have it - to match the names of the virtual devices with names of devices on the physical host. Then there's no way fo

That's interesting - I would have guessed that after a certain point, a VM and a physical computer are indistinguishable from the POV of software running inside.

by ColanR 6y ago
I wonder how feasible it is to remove such fingerprints - find a way to make the VM be functionally indistinguishable from the host.

It seems like the free-market solution is the cheap brother laser printers that keep being mentioned.
