As someone who develops microVMs it doesn't really matter to me that they were asked to find a way, I really care that they found any way at all. MicroVMs aim to protect against malicious workloads and that clearly didn't work here.

FYI Muse smashes through those captchas natively without prompting.

GH didn't collapse so it's not impossible that they already implement these measures:

Agreed. Not a direct answer but this should be interesting: https://github.com/cyphar/filepath-securejoin

Compare the cheapest Mac ($1000) to an $800 ASUS:

https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-mac/macbook-air

https://www.amazon.com/i5-6300HQ-keyboard-Microsoft-signatur...

The ASUS has:

- a larger screen

- a better CPU

- a better GPU

- as much memory

- more storage

Apple build overpriced low-end perf laptops with high build quality, I'd rather have performance at a way lower price.

Chrome-only and that's if there's no bug. I have the latest version of Chrome on Ubuntu but my GPU (GTX 960m, latest drivers) is blocked and the --ignore-gpu-blacklist flag doesn't work.

Can anyone give concrete examples of datasets that are better suited for a graph database and why?

d0vs — Thu, 06 Apr 2017 16:00:46 +0000

It baffles me that all those JS physics library never provide proper docs or even an API reference and always link to the C++ Box2D manual as if it was an acceptable alternative. Always have to guess what the JS equivalent is but even then you're in for a surprise: https://github.com/shakiba/planck.js/blob/master/CHANGES.md

If you're used to dynamic languages, it gives you type safety and performance for little effort.

I love Python but always wished for a simple, type-safe language; Go gives me that. It's not worse than Python IMHO.

You're right. This was an amazing couple of posts anyway, I hope you continue the series!

This looks like an AOT compiler to me, not a JIT compiler.
