For a moment I misread the title as something about Counter Strike somehow having something to do with gun control measures and got very confused…

Piped alternative, in case you want to have only a 50% of it loading before the heat death of the universe.

Both. it’s also a language.

And who performed the study? A robotaxi company…

Congratulations you’ve fallen for the same shit that said cigarettes are healthy, leaded gasoline is fine, and climate change doesn’t exist.

They don’t know they’re getting someone in trouble, they just know that if they act a certain way when they smell something, they get a treat. That’s why this tweet is horrifying, because they’re training the dog to do that when they smell pizza, which means that you get to be searched because you smell vaguely of pizza.

Also cats can be trained to do the same thing. They just like dogs more because they’re easier to find/notice if they wander off a little bit, and can bite people.

A desk sounds like exactly the type of thing that would just eventually get put together because I was bored one Tuesday. It might take a few months, but it would eventually happen

Pissing away your wealth lmao

Answering this question is any deeper way that this lmao

So it sounds like compression before encryption should only be done in specific circumstances because it can be a security issue depending on use case, but encryption before compression should never be done because it will almost always increase the size of the file

Depends on if you’re using lossless or lossy compression. Lossless compression will usually make it bigger, because it relies entirely on data being formatted so their are common patterns or elements that can be described with fewer parts. Like, an ok compression algorithm for a book written in English and stored as Unicode would be to convert it to ASCII and have a thing that will denote Unicode if there happens to be anything that can’t convert. An encrypted version of that book would look indestinguishable from random characters, so compressing it at that point would just put that Unicode denoter before every single character, making the book end up taking more space.

Compress the encrypted data. You’re talking about encrypting compressed data, this was talking about compressing encrypted data.

And the fact that it can grow data means you should really put a test to make sure that the compressed data is actually smaller… I once had something refuse to allow me to upload a file that was well below their 8Mb file limit while it was claiming it was above the limit, and I’m assuming it was because they were testing the size after compression and that file grew from 6Mb to above the limit.

If that’s true, what’s to stop someone else from just compressing it themself and opening the same attack vector?

I’d get excited because it means I get to show it to them.

I say that php breaks math entirely, and is therefore bad. “” == null returns true null == [] returns true “” == [] returns false.

In more recent versions it gets worse, because it has 0 == “any text” return true, “any text” == true return true, and 1 == true return true So indirectly 1 = 0, and now math is more directly broken.

I mean, except for forking it’s mostly accurate, and even there it’s in the right neighborhood…
