You don't get reliable wall clock time unless you're working in RTOS. In a threaded OS everything in userland is async to an extent. In this school of thought, having to specify that something should be async manually could be see

await/promises/etc mostly exist to solve the problem that JavaScript doesn't have threads so it can't wait for callbacks. About JavaScript, many other languages have had async/await for a long time. I have no idea w

It's insane that we're still using systems without ECC RAM. As memory shrinks bit errors get progressively more common. The more memory you have the better chance of corruption as well of course. Literally everything else that hol

Eh, most developers I know are lazy and won't even measure the performance of the thing they're building if it's "good enough". I can't remember the last time any of us fired up a profiler. Optimization is gene

They have nukes and working ICBM's... It's not that hard to put the two together. Submarine launch is harder and the warheads must be smaller, but ICMB's are already considered unstoppable so it doesn't matter.

Well, North korea has been working on nukes for like 40 years and there hasn't been a war yet so I don't think the US is as eager as you think. You don't see anything wrong with a madman in a country always on the edge of col

They are a current feature but not the baseline which means in practice implementations are buggy or non existent. I've had a few nicer routers where I could turn the options on but most clients are not able to connect :( . I need to b

I'm not a crypto expert and I'm sure even if I was it would be difficult to explain. Wiki page on SRP has a good description though: Like all PAKE protocols, an eavesdropper or man in the middle cannot obtain enough information to

You can't brute force a nonce offline when you don't know if you answer is right unless you ask the AP. Different protocols than sending hashes where you can tell if your hash is correct just by looking at it. You are right that t

It doesn't give you a hash to crack. It reduces your speed of guessing passwords from "how quick can you hash X", which is millions of times per second, to "how many times can I attempt to get in before the access point

Yes, this is still a major problem with WPA. Also the fact that certain control packets aren't authenticated is nearly unforgivable. If correctly designed the only reasonable attack on wifi would be channel jamming, sadly after many ye

by throwasehasdwi 9y ago
Wifi password cracking is only around 1000X slower than a SHA256 brute-force if I remember right. So your password needs to be secure enough that if a hash of it was leaked it would never be cracked.... So very strong. WPA enterprise using

This does NOT bode well for the future of humanity. It seems that war is only war when people on your side are dying. Once everything is sufficiently automated it will be possible to wage war without risking any of your humans. I don't

Are you implying that Rust should be the first programming language of these minority groups? Given the complexity of low level programming that doesn't sound like a good idea. If that is not your plan then this is a pointless exercis

The beginning of the end for Intel. Microsoft is clearly going to pivot win10 into the mobile market and leave Intel in the dust.

In this case I would say the lack of details is a good thing. It must work so well that they can keep it a secret from major vendors. If it wasn't near native speed or had bad x86/x64 ISA support they would be giving a heads up to

the components should be reusable, not the styles on them. Besides global font settings CSS nowadays is mostly used for positioning and isn't reusable.

Separating CSS always seemed stupid to me, I was so happy when it finally became "best practice" to have inline styles within isolated components. HTML is the markup and as far as I'm concerned the styling is part of that mar

You can look at it from two ways. It might save some network bandwidth when designers want multiple fonts, but is it worth adding even more complexity to browsers? Does the average user really care about fonts? I would say definitely not. M

What a wonderful way to add massive complexity to font rendering while delivering spectacularly little value. Don't get me wrong, it's cool, I just don't see the point. And I don't look forward to my battery life being u
