> The CryptProtectData function performs encryption on the data in a DATA_BLOB structure. Typically, only a user with the same logon credential as the user who encrypted the data can decrypt the data. In addition, the encryption and decryption usually must be done on the same computer. For information about exceptions, see Remarks.

If you can execute code on the computer (as the user), you can decrypt the credentials.

Scary how easy it is to steal it all :(

I never said it was collapsing.

Oh thanks! Was looking at the wrong SequenceEqual

Wow you have really compelling arguments as to why crypto isn't collapsing! Thanks you for you insight

The first commit says "Vectorization of string.Equals". It now uses SpanHelpers.SequenceEqual. How is that vectorized when it's just an unrolled loop from what I see? Does vectorization not mean using SIMD instructions? It also means improving data dependencies?

I thought it was interesting that there are also sea nomad children who are able to see clearly underwater: http://www.bbc.com/future/story/20160229-the-sea-nomad-child...

Although that skill didn't evolve. It's just something kids can do with practice, and the ability is lost as we age and our lenses become less flexible.

But it's Microsoft! They must be up to something! /s

This is different though, no?

Say you go post on Infowars anonymously (but not through Tor/VPN/Proxy). They can now know where you live.

Of course the address is public. The relation between your IP address and your actual address isn't...

Huge performance difference - how did they not notice before?

Wow 32MB? Fills up after what, 10 songs? For 350$, which is like 500$ today? :( I understand your family reaction lol

Don't you just need to long press the app icon and choose disable/delete?

What about this? https://edition.cnn.com/2018/07/04/africa/nigerian-boy-paint...

How can the exploiter write buggy code? By... writing buggy code?

From what I gather, they wrote some code that downloads a script, which might (or not) get downloaded in chunks. But their code only executes the first chunk. So if the whole script is not in the first chunk, you get a syntax error because it is incomplete.

That exploited code was not in Github, it was added to the ESLint code the exploiter had, which he then published to npm using stolen credentials, bypassing the normal CI process. How would unit tests and linting help with that?

"... so many reports that it can be rendered inoperable by a grain of sand and that is incredibly difficult and expensive to repair or replace. This new third-generation keyboard wasn’t designed to solve those issues, Apple says."

I think there is something like that already. Look for "metered connections".

It's a secret tool that uses undocumented APIs :)

Well she said the insurance covered everything but 500. That's still a lot.

I don't understand what's wrong? People use software without knowing how it's coded under the hood all the time? The V8 code is here if you want: https://github.com/v8/v8

Are hammers and knives designed and bought to kill people?

You forgot the wikipedia link!

I heard Portuguese from South America and from Portugal are different - maybe that could be a reason?

What do you mean? Is the left jailing people for talking? That's news to me.

As far as I know, people are still free to say what they want? Doesn't mean they don't get any consequences though. Or that other people are forced to give them an ear.

Take Laura Ingraham. She's free to make fun of the Parkland survivors and she did. She's also losing her advertisers as a consequence of being a poor excuse of a human being. Also I would never invite her to come talk to anything I would organize (if I was organizing stuff). Would I be infringing on her free speech then by not giving her a platform? Why would I be obligated to give her a platform?

Are people doing the policing in Silicon Valley though? Why pay that much for people if someone remote/outsourced can do it for much cheaper?

If you don't like it, ignore it? It has 366 points and 203 comments, so I'm sure some people are interested in this?

Works for me? Maybe something is blocking you

According to this random 20 year old study I found, taking Vitamin D supplements is better than light therapy:

Well the link you posted is not very useful - Javascript is faster on a trigonometry benchmark and the author admits it's probably because GCC's trigonometry functions are probably slow and not optimized. If you switch them out to use better functions or use a different compiler, I imagine the time would go down.

This is probably a better comparison: https://benchmarksgame-team.pages.debian.net/benchmarksgame/

Altough it seems to only have been run on node.js for Javascript.

How can you raise both ends of the cut cable if hosting an intact cable is impossible because there isn't enough slack? You have to do it one at a time? Then add the extra slack required between the two ends? I don't really understand lol
