Installation in buildings. Try pulling a bundle of CAT6 cables from a comms closet with huge plastic blocks from zipties jutting out every other foot through 10-50 feet of drywall and/or drop ceiling. Loom doesn't even warrant a s

Nah. Computing sensitivity has always been easy enough, flip bits and watch output. This is about how to do it in a generalized way that fits in with related work in the field.

Absolutely nothing, It's worse with fewer features. Mozilla itself says as much. This is for playing around with stuff, not general usage.

Depends on the MDM and phone really but, No. Triangulating a cellphone on the network via cell towers is a tried and true feature of wireless infrastructure. Even your phones GPS capabilities are most likely "A-GPS" meaning Cellul

"Unikernel" is a overly generic term. Technically the Linux kernel is already a "Unikernel". It's just most of the time its discussed as a negative not a positive and the term used is "monolith". The proje

Do you worry about some random asshole kid hurling a re-bar in to rush hour traffic? REing automotive tech, setting up transmitters, and spoofing traffic data to throw a virtual re-bar in to rush hour traffic could become a pandemic unless

Unless you have persistent mount to network FSs like NFS or SMB how do you think the ransomware would spread? You sure don't need network mounts for backups. Cronjob to an (S)FTP server and an upload script trigger to chown/chmod

No. we just feel better because it just sounds so obviously reasonable doesn't it? Kazakhstan's low-tech approach is just that, low-tech and low-effort. They could have used tons of vectors besides simply saying "install th

While everyone haggles about the internals I have an interesting anecdote about the costs of tools libraries. A small service that landed in my lap needed to read(only) a data source that was roughly 10k lines of yaml. No way that was going

If you believe you should be able to talk down the street without getting harassed or raped, you can vote via not dressing like a slut. Who exactly should be responsible if not yourself, and how? Many people on HN sit around trying to avoid

They exist, WW2 was proof of it. It gave us both Meth(axis) and Cocaine(allies) among other things. It's just that it comes at a very high cost of the users long term health and/or sanity.

Everything is a nail. Whenever developer sorts get all starry eyed over "DB as an FS", they never consider data exchange between applications vendors and platforms. Their applications always exist alone in a digital vacuum. Exampl
