If you’ve been unlucky to converse with someone who has recently bought a bidet, they’ve probably told you how it changed their lives like some sort of newfound religion. As someone who converted to Bidetism recently, I’m here to tell you four reasons why you shouldn’t. Have you ever looked at your toilet and thought it could remind you more of a nursing home? With a bidet, you can. Strap an enormous white plastic throne to your diminutive ..

This is a summary of Automated Antenna Design with Evolutionary Algorithms , a 2006 paper by Hornby et al. As large language models become more and more synonymous with “AI”, it is interesting to see how researchers solved problems in the past. Typically, antennas are designed and built by hand by domain experts. This is a very time-consuming process, however, so researchers have been investigating evolutionary algorithms since the 1990..

In recent years, a lot of note taking applications (or personal knowledge base tools if you prefer the term) have entered the space. Prominent examples are Roam Research , Obsidian , Notion and countless alternatives and reimplementations of those. On the other hand, there are older ones, and there's one literal elephant in the room, and it's called Evernote . Evernote is one of the oldest applications in this space. Started as a sui....

Before you read I found out the code here doesn’t work outside IPython, I didn’t realize that get_ipython() only works when running inside IPython. But the examples here work in isolated scripts if you run the script using ipython: ipython benchmarh.py. Introduction I like using IPython to measure the execution time of Python functions. You can also time functions using the timeit module, but the IPython utilities are just more conve..

The Linux operating system is a favorite among developers, system administrators, and power users due to its flexibility, security, and stability. One of the many built-in utilities available in Linux is the split command, which is used to split large files into smaller, more manageable parts or join multiple smaller files into a single, larger file. In this article, we'll explore how to use the split command for file splitting and concaten..

DEF CON will always be a cash-at-the-door conference. We will always honor the LineCon with pizza and beachballs. This is the way. However, the online option we introduced at DC Safe Mode has proven quite popular. It seems a lot of you appreciate the convenience of pre-registration so we’re keeping it for DEF CON 31. Tickets are available now at shop.defcon.org , BYOP(izza).

I've recently started using ntfy to send notifications to my phone from some scripts I'm running on my home NAS. This works great, but when I'm on my PC, I'd rather get notifications there instead of on the phone. There doesn't seem to be a desktop app for ntfy, but luckily the API is extremely simple. I've also recently started picking up Python, so I decided to whip together a simple ntfy notification delivery system for the Linux deskt....

We looked into the internal of Corax’s posting list and in the last post I mentioned that we have a problem with the Baseline of the page. We are by no means the first people to work with posting lists, and there is a wide body of knowledge on the topic. When it came time to figure out the compression format for our posting list, we used the PFOR format (Patched Frame of Reference). It, like pretty much all other integer compression m....

Here’s a compiler flag that slipped my notice: Clear Linux has -fzero-call-used-regs=used in its CFLAGS for security-sensitive x86_64 packages, wiping call-used registers on return to protect against ROP exploits. In my benchmarks, there was almost no perf difference between skip, used-gpr and used which is surprising; I thought that this would really hurt instruction cache optimization. Either optimizing compilers have rendered even m..

This guide helps you start quickly with using Nix as a package manager. This guide covers setting up, nix-shell, nix-env -iA, and Home Manager. Here’s a quick way to get started with using Nix as a package manager without diving into the complex internals: Install Nix with sh <(curl -L https://nixos.org/nix/install) --daemon. Make sure to add that snippet at the end to your shell configuration or you’ll have some trouble later. Run ni....

Post-incident Sumary Hacker News Discussion To summarize this post, I was seemingly throttled by AT&T for days. See the Original Post for the full write up. While gathering data for this post and attempting solutions, I changed my LTE router’s APN, which caused it to re-authenticate to AT&T, and after I was re-authenticated I was no longer being throttled. One Hacker News user suggested that re-authenticating may have caused me t....
