Ah yes, that makes sense. However, it may work with the article's process - a 100x100 png with lots of 2GB-of-nothing iTXt chunks could be gzipped and served with `Content-Encoding: gzip` - so it would pass the "is a valid png&quo

Is there a reason the malicious part of the payload has to be pixels? You could have a 100x100px image with 000s of 2GB iTXt chunks, no? That would bypass naive header checks that only reject based on canvas size.

As I understand it, that’s not _strictly_ true. 17% live in “rural” areas, but this includes towns and villages in rural areas. It’s 8% for “rural village and fringe” [0], or much less for actually outside of towns and villages. Unless you

I'm always torn by these posts. I love perl's (well Moo's) class definitions - the simple, obvious way to make immutable objects combined with the `lazy` pattern fits really well with how I like to write code. But. I have nev

Not quite - that was his initial implementation which he described as "That’s not good at all, but I was trying to work within Perl’s limitations". The corinna syntax is class Point { field ( $x, $y ) :param = 0; meth

It's because "volume limit" is fuzzy. It's more like cpu turbo boost - if you put a lot of frequency energy into the speakers they will overheat, but not instantly. Most vendors just say "In worst case (square wave)

It has been interesting watching this develop, if for no other reason that Express is somewhat stuck after TJ left to make koa[0] and hasn't changed much since 2014. Express 5 has had no commits for 9 months - it's not dead, but i

Parts per million, not parts per billion. [1] Yes, H2O is the strongest greenhouse gas, but its concentration (~5000ppm average) is limited by temperature and it will condense out as mist/clouds/rain. CO2 is nowhere near saturatio

Yay, you're one of today's lucky 10,000 [0]! There are different types of UUIDs [1]. MySQL generates version 1 UUIDs - you can tell by the first digit of the third block. It looks like something else is also generating UUIDs, usin

if you press a letter and control, it generates the control character in the left-hand column. the letters in the third column are A = 1, B = 2 etc: 40h + the position in the alphabet. Awesome to see ^@ as null and laying it out this way ma

A lack of search across a repo is pretty annoying. https://bitbucket.org/site/master/issues/2874/ability-to-sea... Integration with Jira is nice though.

To a competitor? Depends if people blame barracuda or can trace the cracking back to you. Are you thinking of switching a bitcoin mining operation into a cracking-passwords-to-put-companies-out-of-business operation?

I played a bit of elite Back In The Day (speccy, got to Deadly). I always assumed that Eve online was pretty much exactly what the blogger described. Spaceships, freedom, trading. Is there something I'm missing?

Agreed. We use mod_unique to add a header to each response and make sure it's included in each error log, back end access log and front end access log as well as being viewable via Charles/fiddler at the client. Being able to tie the variou

I guess the reason that the US thinks that 220V is unsafe is the plug socket design? Could you adopt a new plug for existing 220V appliances (AIUI you have 220v for washing machines & dryers etc?). Then over time you could migrate all

The panels on the tree are higher than those on the flat plane - you'd expect to get more light for longer from that alone.

Prompted me to run a quick version over our weblogs. You rapidly end up with big black splodges if you squish the time axis. I overcame this by multiplying the pixel colour by 0.8 for each hit to get a heatmap-style image. Example images (f

I'm finding omnigraffle's dot import and auto-layout useful for flowcharting. I write dot layouts by hand then pretty them up in omnigraffle.
