Not to downplay the severity (patch your browsers!), but there have been 5-10 actively-exploited V8 type confusion vulnerabilities in the last year. I'd be curious if this one blew up because it was the only one that was posted, or if

There's a Scott Alexandar story that plays with this exact topic: Ars Longa, Vita Brevis [1] To your point, I think you're right. I'm not in mathematica, but the value of good pedagogy on shrinking the time it takes to get pe

This article is borderline malicious in how it skirts the facts. This wasn't a case where KeePass was compromised in any way, as far as I can tell. This appears to be a basic case of a threat actor distributing a trojanized version via

I'm of two minds on this. On one hand, I appreciate a good piece of gear and the feeling of having things just work. I think anyone who's been on a hunt and one day found a perfect something knows that spark of satisfaction every

Can anyone speak to the reliability of using metropolitan statistical areas for something like this? Having lived across on both sides of the tracks in a few, grouping them for something like this seems like an interesting choice. One that

I had the same problem when I switched off Google. I didn't have a ton of data, and I just wanted content for past search purposes, so I didn't dig into how the data would be transformed but I can at least offer my scuffed solutio

I can't personally vouch for it as I'm still stuck in Google Photos and would prefer to self-host it, but Ente may interest you. Open source, end-to-end encrypted, self-host or cloud.

That's very true, and I'd love to see some actual documentation on how they get to pace numbers. I'm in the same boat with regard to 5K/10K pace, but I reckon it's probably not a huge issue in the long run. While pl

I'm hardly a serious runner, but I'd say the pros you laid out for Garmin are quite nice, and the cons are inconsequential to your average fitness tracker user. I'd probably argue they're inconsequential to everyone but

I'd also link to a recent HN post [0] exploring butterfly flight. The top comment shows the actual flight pattern of a butterfly. Perhaps zombie butterfly fly differently, but otherwise it's doubly dead. This isn't a real nit

I agree with a lot of the other options, but I'd be remiss if I didn't mention one that isn't always obvious. With all the Big Corp asterisks, Microsoft Business Basic can be a pretty great deal at 6 USD/month. Solid rel

It is. From my understanding, CPUs execute machine code. Assembly has to be passed through an assembler to get machine code, and that assembler can make other changes as well, so they are not always one to one. Written assembly will usually

If you use a password manager (which they say they do) it's much quicker to just save that info and automatically populate it. Doubly so considering the MFA hell they went through.

It'd definitely be possible although, if you're not already using a VPN, I doubt it'd be easier. You could do it a few ways, but the gist would be running the VPN endpoint and the web app in the "same place" (same m

Do you have other info on languages that do? In my mind, if a library is compromised and incorporated in software that touches sensitive data then there's no way to meaningfully sandbox it. Sure, the library lives in the sandbox, but s

The author actually brings this up in the article, and it seems that they are not likely to be deleted (baring vandalism due to their unique status being surfaced, I guess). Spoiler for the interested, and it could be an artifact of the dat

I think you and the comment you replied to are talking about different things. The comment you replied to IS talking about skipping these inline ads without paying (SponsorBlock). If you aren't using it and are watching the same videos

This is what I got on a basically brand new OpenAI account: https://chat.openai.com/share/5199c972-478d-406f-9092-061a6b... All told, I'd say it's a decent answer. Edit: I took it to completion: https:/

This is what I do, and I'm surprised that more people don't. It's trivial to clear text or email notifications when you make the purchase as they usually appear very quickly. Plus it makes it very easy to identify fraud. Get

10 years is just the maximum time a domain can be registered at a given time. You can keep adding a year for every year that passes if you'd like.

I haven't listened to Car Talk in years, but I can still remember the number listeners would call. I'm going to go back and listen to some reruns. I imagine it's aged gracefully.

I'd probably take the more charitable view that usage of the phrase in the negative is a willingness to embrace the spirit of the saying rather than attribute it to a misunderstanding. If it is a misunderstanding, that is. While all so

If there was no corollary hill worth dying on then there'd be no reason to specify that the hill in question wasn't worth dying on. Thus, we can assume there are hills worth dying on. Anecdotally, I think I hear the "I will d

While I've never used Google's toilets, cleaning your asshole using a water spray is usually accomplished by a bidet. They're somewhat common in toilets in parts of Europe, and quite common in Japan. It's preference, but

Not the commenter you asked, but in the United States pumps with one hose are common. All the grades of petrol are dispensed through the same hose, and you just select which one you want. Some pumps do have two (or more) hoses, especially t

I think the author of that repo misunderstands what a rainbow table is. I only quickly skimmed the code, but it doesn't seem to do anything related to rainbow tables. On top of that, a rainbow table (if that is what you're looking

I won't speak for the parent comment, and this isn't a critique on you, but I think it's more of a reflection on the reader than an ironic take. Many would read "I should be worth more than..." as "I should hav

Anki is a flashcard program that claims to help learn/memorize information using spaced repetition. I believe the previous comment is a joke based on the similarity of the names of the two pieces of software [Aki(flow)/Anki] and t
