News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Any links to said "troubling rumors about Arc Gen 2"?
You can search with / on Firefox.
Also relevant news that Google has disabled io_uring for apps on Android and disabled it entirely on Chrome OS and production Google servers since 60% of the exploits (~$1M worth) submitted to the Google Vulnerability Rewards Program have been for io_uring: https://security.googleblog.com/2023/06/learnings-from-kctf-...
Sidechannels in Signal is news to me. Can you provide some keywords to search for, or any links?
Re:I couldn't debug the code because of my name on Wednesday October 20, 2021 @11:53PM (#28940031)
Discover (discover.com) currently has a similar bug where it'll allow me to login with my password, but will not accept the same password in the 'Change password' workflow as the old password, complaining about it being invalid. (shrug)
Is this across titles or even for promotions within the same title?

Re:SolarWinds hackers were able to access Microsoft source code on Thursday December 31, 2020 @03:23PM (#25596734)
The update literally says that "found no evidence of access to production services or customer data."
As a person in the US who is not a PR or citizen and has worked on things the US Government likes to know are being exported, even exposure of the knowledge to a citizen of a target country is "deemed export." Google will probably have to reorganize its research center to comply with this and bring AI research that falls under this restriction back to the US. I don't disagree that it's futile though.
I'm sure you know this, but, I think at least since Windows 7, while having the Alt+Tab "popup" open, you can use the arrow keys while holding Alt down to directly navigate to the window you want to open. Very useful if, like me, you have 20 windows of browser tabs open, and the application you want is in the middle of the list.
Plenty of comments now describing the fallout of token amounts.
Firefox uses Ctrl+Shift+Q to quit the entire browser now on Windows and Linux based platforms, presumably because of that reason. You might not need that Firefox extension anymore.
Why would you not use ProtonMail? Genuine case of out of the loop.

Usage of punctuation would make your attempt at communication more likely to serve its purpose.

Assuming you are thinking of Thinkpads, IBM hasn't owned that since 2006.

It's downvoted because you, like your profile says, are "opinionated, inconsistent, irrelevant, irreverent and incontrovertible", and regardless of the number of times you are told that you are wrong and that H1Bs are dual-intent visas, keep parroting the same trash in every immigration related thread. Please quit proliferating nonsense untruths.

And here, for future reference, because short of a citation of the law, and probably even then, you won't quit spreading junk knowledge:

Better reference: https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/8/1184

b) Presumption of status; written waiver Every alien (other than a nonimmigrant described in subparagraph (L) or (V) of section 1101(a)(15) of this title, and other than a nonimmigrant described in any provision of section 1101(a)(15)(H)(i) of this title except subclause (b1) of such section) shall be presumed to be an immigrant until he establishes to the satisfaction of the consular officer, at the time of application for a visa, and the immigration officers, at the time of application for admission, that he is entitled to a nonimmigrant status under section 1101(a)(15) of this title.

Why don't you exchange cubes with one of your colleagues who values natural light more?

Since great-grandparent isn't responding, if anyone in the know could help out the rest of us on the outside, that would be awesome.
Re:How to Hire on Thursday August 16, 2018 @07:41PM (#17779312)
Please be more sensitive about declaring something you know 'everyone knows.' Especially when in the same breath you admit to not knowing what red book parent and grandparent are talking about. While I don't match the example, folks born in 1997 when the book came out are just about graduating college in a couple of years, and expecting everyone to know all the nooks and crannies of computer science is not at all feasible. Relevant XKCD: https://www.xkcd.com/1053/
By running over anything that gets in the way, apparently.
Re:Judge Rules Trump Can’t Block People on Twitter on Wednesday May 23, 2018 @04:21PM (#17137849)
While I realize the article/judge's opinion specifically calls out political speech, I'm fairly sure that applies to all speech, and the political speech subset was probably chosen by the plaintiffs as an easier path to victory.
Welp, sorry.
Several recent HN stories have had this kind of comment (first noticed with the Securus submission) that's a weird mix of "You have nothing to fear if you have nothing to hide" and "They will never come for you, you're too unimportant." Is this a sustained campaign or just a way for folks who have contributed to these issues to feel good about themselves?
