Aren’t exploits on assembly reverse engineering?


No. In this context reverse engineering is looking at the assembly to understand what it does. Once you understand that, you can figure out how to exploit the code, by, sending a subtly malformed packet which will cause a server to write out of bounds of some array, and corrupt the servers memory. By very carefully corrupting the server's memory the attacker can hijack the server to do whatever they want.


Substack is the real 2008 Twitter alternative, having more people in a platform is a anti-feature


There simply isn’t a proper contender to Apple. And with Apple silicon, it’s a done deal for the next decade at least. Apart from hardware, you need a company that is willing to take Linux from the ground up and create a macOS type OS. Not simply make your own distribution and DE and call it a day. Chromebook was close, but they had bad execution and wrong ideas.


Linux is a kernel. Making your own distribution and DE is how you create a Linux-based macOS.

I’d say System 76 is doing that but their execution has stumbled for the past year or so. They are working on their own Rust-based DE, to some level of success. I hope they get back on track.


How do I get full-disk encryption on Linux without having to type a password twice on boot? This is not a surface-level issue you can solve at distribution / DE level, and it’s not the only one.

A good pre-installed environment of current tools would be nice, of course.


No need for linux. There's the helloSystem[1], a FreeBSD-based macOS clone...

As an aside, anyone have any insight on people with NSAID allergies? I pretty much have not taken aspirin/NSAIDs since the first allergic response as a child. What can people like myself do for anti-inflammation?


Topical CBD might be an option to do some research on.


Let me save you some digging: it's bunk.

If you go to the supermarket and get yourself some cbd topical solution for like sore muscles.. you are just getting generic sore muscle lotion that basically treats inflammation, and it has had cbd waved near it for an upcharge.

The only potential like thing here are high cbd transdermal patches but the dose is high and the efficacy is still pretty low.


NSAIDs are taken orally; oral CBD does seem to have an effect on inflammation.


NSAIDs are taken orally

Not always. They sell ibuprofen in a tube so you can rub it on muscles. If you are in the US, you probably don't see it on your pharmacy shelves, though. The pharmacy I worked at didn't sell it (and it was a large chain), but all of the pharmacies I've seen in Norway have it.


I have seen it in US pharmacies, both labeled as NSAID and non-labeled but containing NSAID precursors.

The labeled one had a measuring/dosage card attached which was really weird to me.


In the US topical diclofenac is common and sells well - brand name Voltaren. They (topical NSAIDs) are first line therapy for acute musculoskeletal pain.


Broken_Hippo already responded about NSAIDs not always being oral.

> CBD does seem to have an effect on inflammation.

Yes but it doesn't penetrate the skin very well. That's why I sort of hinted at large dose transdermals as being a possibility, but the small bit of research that has been done is both early and mixed. I think the transdermal is a pretty critical part here and I don't know of any approved transdermal CBD products, just lotions that are useless.


NSAIDs are available in oral, IV, IM and topical routes.


Agree, but I have yet to find topical CBD that works as well as topical ibuprofen.


He only tweeted memes about dogecoin. And after the SEC filing about their Bitcoin plans, it makes sense why he didn’t tweet about Bitcoin before it


Fiction my dude


Doesn't sound like this kind of device would be hard to make these days ?


Some translators that still insist on localizing honorifics is funny, stuff like using Sir or making up a nickname for a character. I wonder what the Japanese do when translating English source to Japanese, do they insert honorifics where it doesn’t exist in the source?


Correct me if I'm wrong but usually honorifics are not used with non east-asian sounding names.

I heard of a technique to wear shirts with faces on them to throw off the detection.


A dangerous game - if they save the footage, they can re-examine it with improved facial recognition later.


Should be easy to fix for them with pose estimation or something.


Searching “trait bounded generics” reveals nothing generic. Only rust results.

Did you mean ad-hoc polymorphism?


See how Rust or C# do generics, as well as Java or Scala (I think this feature is also called "Concepts" in C++, but I'm not sure it supports it yet).

You specify a type parameter, and then statically write out that it has to adhere to a certain interface/trait. This analysis is done at compile time, not runtime as with virtual dispatch.
