Not to mention, you would need to first train a model on your target for the fingerprint to work. That doesn't seem even remotely useful in practice.

While I mostly agree with what you say, the thing is Django was probably asked what was the best way to ship the laptop, but he probably just didn't know : - he is from neighboring DRC, not Ugandan; - based on his description of his tr

Not necessarily startup. You can see some laptops with defcon stickers, it used to be very common for infosec auditors to have work laptops full of stickers not that long ago. Although, it is bad practice for read team audits, and some lar

As a native french speaker, I have the same feeling when reading code written with french keywords, except that since I learned boolean and arithmetic in french, it makes more sense to me to read them in french. As others have pointed out,

I may be wrong, but it gives me some powershell vibe. Since it seems to be targeted for macOS, I would assume it "solves" the lack of powershell equivalent on Mac ?

Optimizing code on MMU-less processor versus MMU and even NUMA capable processor is vastly different. The fact that the author achieves only a 3 to 6 times speedup on a processor running at a frequency 857 faster should have led to the conc

I've had him as a sociology teacher in the early 2000s, specifically on this subject (controversies). It was apparently his first time in this school, and he was not prepared for the controversy that happened due to his (controversial)

The english version is weird. It was planned from the beggining that they would bury a bronze owl. The bronze owl was to be exchanged with the precious metal one. In the french news, they specifically mentioned that the bronze one was found

Or on official tables according to the International Table Soccer Federation. From what I've seen during my travels, there are lot of variations for foosball tables. Each countries seem to have their own variations.

Yes, they explicitly classify wikipedia as a tertiary source [1]. Wikipedia is good for finding secondary source, and then primary sources by following the links. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Primary_Seco

You didn't get a warning for that in 2003... or maybe with the pedantic flag. And even if it were the case, it would have been drowned by all the other unfixed warnings... The only people using linters at that time was because it was f

The 50% goal is against an adaptative adversary. For some reason, Zero Knowledge Proof[1] came to my mind, so I interpreted the goal as reaching a 50% accuracy on the oracle side. Your interpretation of the goal is also valid, but not in a
