Maybe they actually do know their audience, and HN crowd is just... not that audience? I am pretty sure most people have no idea what's wrong with Norton, and the name just sounds vaguely like cybersecurity.

They could, and this is definitely a RCE (a Remote Code Execution) vulnerability. GP confusion stems from the fact, that you (the forgejo user) must execute this attack on "your" instance. But of course the problem is that forgejo

You overthink this. Participating in HN is in no way like democratic voting. And sometimes it is my (or yours) comment that is the problem. Let's not pretend that 90% of HN comments are world-changing. Maybe you are different, but a lo

What is a burger? If it looks like a burger and tastes like a burger I'm fine with calling it a burger. Nobody complains about halloumi burgers. Why is "coconut milk" OK, but "soy milk" is not? Blood sausage has n

It may be perfectly clear to you. For me (a non-native speaker) reading the first verse required a significant focus and I still didn't get what the author meant (only the general vibes). The second verse was immediately clear.

IRGC, Hamas, Hizballah and maybe others are far right organizations, so I don't think this is purely left/right. And what about signal? I am pretty sure many violent/terrorist groups use it too. I don't have an opinion a

Wow, this is serious. Makes you think, that even though QubesOS attack surface is so tiny (well-designed to be secure) there are still vulnerabilities to be found. Worth noting that (as I understand) this vulnerability occurs only when doin

This is moving the goalposts. The original problem was that installing a library should not execute code from that library. In most sane environments, like for example native languages, this is already the case. Downloading a .dll file and

It sounds like the only way this would make sense is if such model knew the range of sounds it expects to "hear". There's a lot of possible sounds that IPA knows about, but world languages only use a fraction of them at onc

Just as a datapoint - I really like learning with Anki. If there was another method that would let me learn at 200% speed, I would pick Anki. This is moot anyway, because most other learning methods require longer focus and are not possible
