LLMs are great at aggregating docs, blogs and other sources out there into a single interface and there has been nothing like it before. When it comes to coding however, the place where you really need help is the place where you get stuck

Assuming an ext-IP (60k ports) can easily represent 100 household if we statically assign ports. Given CGNAT with dynamic port allocation this can easily go up to 5x? That's wildly inaccurate given the core problem is to "target&q

Not sure about US, but Indian ISPs are doing this already to conserve IP space given huge userbase. In theory it would work similar to how a NAT gateway works for outbound communication. Skan + geo would be hard nut to crack in India.

Reminds of the old days, when reverse engineering game binaries were a thing. Finding hex strings, no-op'ing if conditions, adding jmp instructions. Many heroes forgotten with time as more and more of software onboarded the cloud offer

This is excellent, kudos to the author. I wonder if pg exposes enough control to develop a tool along with this information which help analyze locks and their effect on queries on a live server.

Isnt' SNI based on the 'Host' header?! This is a news for me that SNI is not encrypted in TLS. Its a problem with the protocol not the ISPs then.

Scientists already have a precise knowledge of what the human body is made of, is it possible to develop a shot which basically annhilates anything in the body which is not supposed to be there? I mean instead of developing a vaccine which

I am not sure if you had chance to play with JAXB, it maps xml very cleanly to java objects. I mean you can have the whole darn thing define inheritance and it would generate the corresponding relation in Objects too. IMO It just needs to b
