POODLE, BREACH, CRIME etc all require the attacker to control some bytes in the ssl stream in order to deduce other bytes that they shouldn't be able to see. POODLE requires the attacker to change the http url & form post body in order to force the alignment of bytes, BREACH and CRIME are gzip length attacks. Both require the attacker to control bytes in a http request in order to guess the contents of other bytes in the request that they wish to know, like a session cookie.
All of these are attacks on HTTP & SSL, not on SSL alone.
In Australia we forced the utility companies to buy any solar power you sent to the grid using a separate meter, at a fairly high rate to encourage adoption.
Those higher tariffs are now over. So now we pay around 30-40c kWh (AUD, from memory) for mains, and they only pay about 5c kWh for any solar power you provide. But at least you're better off if you can use that power yourself.
... the other guy just sucks.
True, but the world of programming is full of these people. If your entire team is full of them, you won't even realise it.
In Australia Telstra maintain the copper line, if there's a problem you log the fault and they fix it within 2 days or they have to pay you. Unless they file a claim for a natural disaster, which can give them an extra couple days to fix it.
At the other end of the copper, your wire may be patched directly into your ISP's equipment. Though in practice I think there are only 2 or 3 companies running the DSLAM's. Smaller ISP's then lease them per line.
Weston has the potential to clean up the UI quirks, I hope they're headed in the right direction. It's way past time we got rid of X11, it's been holding us back for far too long. If they can't do it, I doubt anyone else will bother.
For 20-ish years windows games have been optimised for windows proprietary drivers, and vice versa. That's a lot of invested effort from both sides, that the linux eco-system hasn't had. Frankly I'm surprised at the recent rate of improvements, but linux is still a long way from parity.
Just because you can prove that there are *some* programs that can't be proven to halt, doesn't mean that there isn't a subset of programs that *can* be proven to halt.
We can build a language / compiler that rejects all programs that aren't provably correct. It might be difficult to get any useful work done, but it's not impossible.
Something like the rust programming language might be more useful in practice. You can still write completely unsafe code, while being careful to limit the impact of doing so.
This is not a new problem, suddenly created by this clock. It already exists with our standard definition of time.
So now we'll be averaging due to relativity differences as well as precision errors.
... they *don't* want other search engines to use this?
Or are they planning to somehow force search engines to license the process?
It's quite trivial to adapt them for robot visibility as well (perhaps even incorporating stuff like specialized radio signals).
Or blink a bright IR diode... In the short term the cars will need to learn how humans do it. In the longer term the cars may have their own information channel to augment how we currently do it.
That's not what I'm talking about, and I can and have done that with git using only a single copy of the history of the repository.
I mean that I can make a whole bunch of changes to one file, then tease those changes apart into multiple patches and commit them in the order I want. And if I'm not happy with how things ended up, I can re-order or re-write those patches before I push them upstream. To do the same in a single branch with SVN, I'd have to copy the file, revert it, then manually apply each change one at a time. Hoping that I get everything right the first time.
If I want to run a suite of tests against every patch one at a time, I can script that in a couple of minutes. Or if I notice that something is broken, I can do a binary(-ish) search of everything I've done to find it.
Mastery of git makes almost any workflow possible.
Old programmers never die, they just hit account block limit.
