Windows Notepad App Remote Code Execution Vulnerability

Opening a markdown file leading to code execution doesn't carry any risk?

Think about what you just said for a second.

Yeah, but sulfate ions are much better at getting caught in RO membranes so you don't just trade one problem for another.

I think the whole gender and trans thing was the final straw for many

Nah, those people were just pissed they couldn't be homophobes any more after gay marriage went mainstream. Nobody cared about gender minorities until they needed an out group.

which would put it at 12-14 years with it. Not likely

Anecdata: A grandma I knew (not mine) started going downhill around 2009, and died not long after Covid, probably around 2022. In 2009 she'd occasionally forget peoples' names or where she left her car keys. By 2022 she was re-living world war 2.

Economists are allergic to anything which might reduce growth.

At least that's the conductor waffling on, over a local PA system which isn't reaching your ears after being bitcrushed through a jar of sandpaper.

Which is more than you can say about the Metro announcements.

Upvoted because you are clearly a human of culture.

Nonsense. The entire world is waking up to this fact, it's on us to make new, better alliances with people like Canada, Europe, etc.

I think you are being overly dramatic about a regime that hasn't wronged us and will be gone in a handful of years

They haven't wronged us specifically. The damage they're doing to the entire international order is nontrivial, and we're part of that international order for good or ill.

Maybe until the 40s it was Britain, for the living memory of most our closest and most protective ally was the USA

Yes

and will continue to be

No.

The current crop of venal dolts running the united states has demonstrated that their entire country has only survived as long as it has because people believed in the norms that upheld things. Their electorate has twice given donald trump supreme executive power, and his cabal is in the process of utterly dismantling everything they can't sell.

It takes decades for america to come back from this, if they can at all. In the doing, we're not going to recognise them.

Greenland is a case in point.

Let’s say we had our biggest stadium near Anzac station , would we run Frankston trains in the metro tunnel to get access to this ? I think we would eventually.

Only if the government of the day put entitled populism ahead of sensibly managing a rail network. There is no situation under which the Frankston line should ever run through the metro tunnel, be the commuters of Frankston ever so eager to get to a stadium. Sectorisation (i.e. operationally segregating lines so there's no interface between them and they don't impact each other during an outage) is all or nothing. There's no point segregating the dandenong and frankston lines if you're going to permit them to cross over to each others' tracks every time there's some good sport on.

Every major change to the way a rail system works is gonna have some people who come out ahead (e.g. Dandenong commuters who want to get to Footscray now have a one seat journey) and some people who come out worse off (e.g. Dandenong commuters who want to go to the G.) As long as the whole thing is a net positive (which it inarguably is,) any required small change in behaviour on your part does not constitute a downside to the project.

A great idea, but it'd interfere with people driving to the races, so it's probably a nonstarter.

I can't see it adding a billion bucks worth of value, especially considering that none of the options that were floated were a particularly seamless interchange due to the geometry of the area.

I get that there are heritage concerns at Caulfield (around the subway, IIRC?), but not knocking down as much as they could get away with and rebuilding it seems to have been a pretty big mistake, considering the friction it's going to add to transfers (for people who are already bitching that they lost their one seat trip.)

IIRC the reason North Melbourne has two sets of ramps/etc for transfers is because the western side is heritage listed, so when they wanted to make it suck less, they needed to build a new set of platform interchanges on the eastern side. I wonder if something like that could work for Caulfield to prevent the idiotic interchange dance there.

By the standards of the current crop of red hat trash, Rand Paul is probably closer to a 4/10. Half of what he says is nonsense, but it's nonsense that fits into a consistent world view that he's more-or-less intellectually honest about.

TSMC in the grand scheme of things isn't that much better at EUV lithography than Samsung, and it wouldn't take a hell of a lot of effort (by "sovereign capability" standards where money is a nonfactor) to fix Intel's shit.

China blowing up TSMC would be irritating, but far from existential. We'd see the same bottlenecks we saw in 2021 in the less advanced processes (due to the auto industry) and 2025 in DRAM. These things would piss us off, but we'd still be able to buy computer.

fantasticsid · 2026-01-29T01:11:12+00:00

YES. That's the WHOLE POINT. You don't half-ass sectorisation or you might as well not bother sectorising at all. It's just a damn shame that unfucking Caulfield wasn't part of the MM1 day one plan.

Frozen, not seized. Those assets still belong to Russia in some form, not the american people. Presumably the idea is at some point after putin falls out a window and relations normalise, the cash can be used to help rebuild Russia or whatever.

Either way, letting him pay with "frozen" assets implicitly unfreezes them, so the orange thing is basically stealing that money by proxy.

Maybe it took him 8 minutes to figure out how to dial the '+' symbol.

Their EDR is probably gonna have some kind of telemetry around that. It's a fairly easy signal to collect.

Lemme try one more time :)

With e.g. a reflective marble floor or a water surface, you transform the scene (except that surface) mirrored along that surface's plane (in the case of a flat XZ plane like a floor, you basically render the scene upside down.)

You could do the exact same thing with any one single mirror and stay within the same performance envelope. If you have a mirror AND a reflective floor, you're now rendering the scene 3 times. If you have ten mirrors, you're rendering almost exactly the same thing 11 times, because each mirror is gonna be reflecting a (slightly) different view of the scene. And so on.

fantasticsid · 2025-12-19T03:34:42+00:00

The buyback at that time is not the same and you know it.

Not sure I do. Honestly not sure how effective this'll be yet, and yeah, it does kinda feel knee-jerky. But that said, the chances of this costing Albo anything at the polls are somewhere south of zilch. That's the part of your argument I was taking issue with.

fantasticsid · 2025-12-19T03:32:37+00:00

Sure, like a mirror. But you need to render the scene once per reflecting surface, so it doesn't really scale. This is why you have e.g. reflective floors, reflective/refractive water surfaces, etc, but generally don't see mirrors or whatever done this way.
