News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

All it takes is going to one random website, that embeds ads, that embed an exploit kit. Not a new thing, we had this happen even with popular news sites. So yeah, it is more likely than you think.

EASTL is great, but we call it UBSTL for a reason :D

Magic will be gone when there is no mass adoption due to bad UX. And UX is not that good right now.
For what its worth im quite content with Samsung/HP printer i got. Basic thing, no bells and whistles apart of one retarded button that nobody will use. Granted i knew story behind when buying..
TIL. Not native english-speaker. My bad.
> - Nim: C/C++ interop is second to none.

This is very wrong.

There is perfect c interop - you can import c functions using {.importc.} pragma.

C++ interop is best i have seen so far. You can use c++ template types! Here is the sample: https://github.com/3dicc/Urhonimo/blob/master/modules/contai... Of course it is not perfect. For example if you would like to override c++ method you will have to write a bit of c++ code using {.emit.} pragma. I do not know a single language that could map c++ template types into it's own generic types like nim can.

120/year is way too much for receiving spam. They are overcharging so much its not even funny.

Why would such someone would wave flag of security making it the biggest selling point and then go with questionable practices?
If they ban secure software it surely will work as terrorists are law-abiding citizens. Right?
Re:Ask HN: Does anyone use Nim language in production? on Sunday May 28, 2017 @04:53AM (#14433595)
> Nim could use a good IDE like PyCharm

Yes indeed. I for instance can not wait Kotlin-native to materialize because... Because Kotlin has a usable IDE already. Nim is a great language, although rough on the edges. Add lack of libraries or need of wrapper generation to the equation, also add lack of a decent IDE.. I am privileged enough to have liberty of picking my battles so one of my requirements for getting work done is to also feel a pleasure doing it. Writing nim code in a notepad which has some IDE features that may or may not work (auto-complete from nimsuggest is really iffy, in source code of compiler especially) is suboptimal. Add debugging experience which due to various reasons is not greatest.. It is hard to justify using Nim over c++ or python. It is a shame though because language is really nice and with some polish it could be a great alternative to already established languages. Keeping fingers crossed for some brave soul coming forward and making IntelliJ plugin for nim.

I am person who runs LTSB used for coding/rce/gaming. Everything runs without a glitch after initial setup. At start we indeed have to do some stupid things as restoring windows photo viewer because images open with paint, but its way better than what "full" version offers.

If running two installers is a pain maybe programming is a wrong area to be interested in.
Re:Systemd v228 local root exploit on Tuesday January 24, 2017 @08:00AM (#13470944)
I wonder what security problems Linux kernel had in that time?

Other init systems (probably) had no exploits because dull rock can be exploited only so much.

Re:Why we chose Vue.js on Friday October 21, 2016 @04:28AM (#12758977)
Exactly how i feel. They maintain project perfectly as well. Issues are tackled with utmost urgency. This is what angularjs was supposed to be. VueJS is perfect (as much as software can be perfect).
No idea why they could not contribute some patches to nuitka to make it do exactly that. Because further down the road it is the goal of nuitka - to natively compile as much as possible.
