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…
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 why…
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…
Probably not but I was thinking either ML or VR could help
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 generally…
> undermining the success of the CEO search Travis legally has control of the company just like an owner would. Nobody can "force" him to leave on run his company as certain way. Benchmark is just whining because they…
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…
Whoever authorized the operation decided it was worth the many millions of damage it could do to Juniper.
add/remove is a better UX than the Windows Store even though it's barely been touched for 20 years :)
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'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…
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…
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,…
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.…
I'm not sure why this is amazing enough to make the first page but W/E it's HN :). Just so less informed are aware, this has been feasible for maybe 7 years (since GPU calculation became possible). Just so nobody freaks…
this is sick
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…
Did you read the rest? I appreciate a reply from the core team but you must understand your potential audience of Rust users is a highly gender/racial biased cohort. If Rust becomes popular it will become near…
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…
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…
Yeah homeless people are not the same people that could afford any type of home most of the time. They're overwhelmingly people with mental and/or drug issues that prevent them from holding a job. Much more likely is…
