I’m intrigued by this course. However I’m also curious about its prerequisite: > Machine Learning (e.g. CS221, CS229, CS230, CS124, CS224N) You should be comfortable with the basics of machine learning and deep learning. Anyone have a go

Locally-installed root CAs are allowed by HSTS, so if you added the HTTPS proxy to the root store, this would work without warning, unless you manually checked the certificate. Of course, this only works on machines you're the admin of

So what happens if a hacker hacks company A and uses their server as a jump box to hack company B? Is company B allowed to hack A since their machine was used in an attack? Or even worse, what if company B is mistaken as to who attacked the

Very well said. To directly answer GP's question: I took a differential equations class last semester, where the easy part of quite a few problems was to solve a quadratic equation. And it was easy, because my algebra classes had c

You can do something similar with bash. If you set PROMPT_COMMAND='history -a', it'll append to the history file right after the command completes (because the prompt command is run as the prompt is printed).

radare2 is a disassembler, not a decompiler. Disassembly is a much easier task than decompilation, since it's a mostly mechanical process. Decompilation requires you to undo the optimizations/transformations the compiler did as it

Have you gotten Windows to work well as a guest? I could never get it to work as well as it does with VirtualBox.

Ah, okay, that makes more sense. I guess maybe it was to enable touch on some websites?

I'm curious as to what good reason there is to have the Android user-agent string contain "Mobile Safari"... The rest of it looks like fairly standard user-agent string antics.

It doesn't compile though -- I hope. I'm pretty sure C keywords require a space on either side...

Also, somewhere in GNOME settings, there's a setting to enable "emacs mode", which lets you use ^a, ^e, ^k, ^y in normal textboxes.

I feel like just having a browser extension is a major security hole for any password manager. Yes it's more usable and prevents domain spoofing, but it makes the attack surface huge. Whereas to exploit a desktop app that doesn't

> The bug is in bad js authored by CF No, the bug is definitely in the browser. Web code is untrusted and should not be able to adversely affect the browser.

Some recent distros will actually let you run that as yourself, without root, if you're physically present at the machine. It's convenient for personal machines.

I don't suppose there's a way to do this from a non-OS X platform, is there? I'd assume no, but I'm wondering if anyone's found a way.

I think he's abbreviating "internet protocols" to "IPs". He's asking why we have human-readable/text based protocols vs a binary protocol.

My feelings are mixed on this. On FB, I'm usually glad that links open in a new tab (well, I middle click them anyway, but sometimes I forget) because if they didn't, I'd have the huge problem of trying to infinite scroll my

So, apparently they created an app with an enterprise certificate that has a transparent icon in the newsstand app. The enterprise certificate (now revoked) bypasses the App Store review, as is well understood. However, the app still needs
