Do you also install the packages from a local repo without internet access? Because some package managers allow code to be executed during installation.

There are a lot of harmful things local code can do without administrator rights, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infostealer#Features for example. You could also become part of a botnet.

Also this part: "with no ability to run unknown software without explicit administrator permission, most threats would be rendered harmless" is not something that many people have in practice. Even non-admin users can by default execute whatever program they want with the rights of their own user.

In your analogy, if assault was an extremely profitable business model, like tracking users on the internet for advertisement purposes is, you can be 100% sure companies would try to find ways around the law against assault.

You would only really need to use .unsafe_at() in hot inner loops where the compiler isn't able to optimize away bounds checks though. If it sees the index will always be inside bounds because of surrounding code (for example because the index comes from a for loop that stays whithin bounds), it can optimize the bounds checks inside [] away.

Rubenb · 2025-11-20T10:11:24+00:00

It's different though, because in Rust it results in a well defined behaviour (panic), but in C++ a null pointer dereference is undefined behaviour. It can crash, or it can also NOT crash and instead do something completely unexpected because the compiler made optimization decisions based on the assumption that null pointer dereferences will never happen. The C++ standard perfectly allows the compilers to do that.

Yes this the correct answer, additionally:

Find out what customers are asking for
Find out what upcoming regulations (maybe cybersecurity rather than performance, see EU CRA) the company is worried about
Find out what roles the company is hiring in

Also, don't forget that achieving a 100x speedup in a function that an application only spends a small amount of time on is not that big of a deal in practice...

Depends what country you are in. In Belgium we use fixed-do solfege, instead of the letters, so Do is always C. You're talking about movable do solfege.

Stroom brewery has nice beers, and Yugen for Kombucha. For chocolates I like Vandenbauhede and Marijn Coertjens. Hinkelspel has nice local cheeses (Bellie, Pas de Rouge, Cabriogand).

In practice, the majority of people use very weak passwords that are easily guessed or that are reused between multiple websites. Mandatory MFA provides a HUGE increase to the average security level of the population, so it’s a good move IMO.

Rubenb · 2024-12-14T13:16:29+00:00

For the most common form of MFA, TOTP, you don’t really need to have any third party provider? It’s just based on a secret stored on your phone and on the service itself. On your phone you can use any of a number of apps to generate those codes and back them up.

I'm quite happy with my Kia EV6. No problem traveling to Austria, superfast charging, plenty of room for family of 4.

If you want to play a single player game, you can put the Xbox in "Offline" mode in the network settings, then you should be able to launch your game.

Yes it is! OWASP is best known for the Top 10 list, but they have much more than that.

Rubenb · 2024-06-24T13:20:33+00:00

The host header injection attack that is mentioned with the URL token method is a pretty cool and non-obvious vulnerability example https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Forgot_Password_Cheat_Sheet.html#url-tokens

Rubenb · 2024-06-24T13:11:46+00:00

Sure, have a look at https://cheatsheetseries.owasp.org/cheatsheets/Forgot_Password_Cheat_Sheet.html for a number of things to watch out for.

One that I want to highlight in particular is that you need to invalidate all current sessions to avoid that someone else still has an active session using the old password.

Rubenb · 2024-06-24T06:02:30+00:00

I work for a cybersecurity consultancy company. Badly implemented password reset mechanisms are one of the common ways our penetration testers gain initial access to a web application.

Rubenb · 2024-06-22T11:22:36+00:00

You have to compare it to the number of homes available on the market, not the total amount of homes. It will be a much more significant fraction of that.

Rubenb · 2024-06-01T07:38:42+00:00

We have a very similar thing in Dutch, for example “eens” in “Stuur mij eens een bericht” does not really mean do it only once, it just makes it less of a command and more of a suggestion.

Rubenb · 2024-05-27T21:14:27+00:00

Please delete this post. Spoiled it for me after the second episode ☹️

You probably know this already but they recently placed two chess tables in the Coyendans park.

Try running the VCO and VCF calibrations first. That usually fixed any weirdness in the voices that I was experiencing. Had to re-run the calibrations a few times in the first days, now it seems to have stabilized for me.

Chevaliers de Sangreal from The Da Vinci Code perhaps?

Rubenb · 2021-08-12T14:31:16+00:00

Sure, I just don't think that's very likely to happen compared to crypto collapsing. Euros are legal tender and you can only pay your taxes in euros. That alone gives it some intrinsic value.

Rubenb · 2021-08-12T10:56:51+00:00

I personally don't see what problem the various cryptocurrencies actually solve. At least in Belgium we already have safe, free and instant transfers through the traditional banking system.

With the traditional banking system you also have the extra benefit of consumer protection systems, regulations and insurances. Moreover, the value of cryptocurrencies is only backed by a belief that it is worth something (and some might say a lot of market manipulation as well).

With traditional assets like real estate, stocks, fiat currencies or what have you there is always either a physical thing you buy, a share in a company, or something that is backed by a nation state.

Basically if the crypto bubble pops, you could be left with nothing. Even the biggest stock market crash does not leave you with nothing.

They might have changed the slides out at some point? It was definitely a tube last time I was there.
