We’re expecting another vote later today on the crypto-friendly bill that would enable Trump’s corruption. Your Democratic senator needs to hear from you ASAP if they’re on this list: indivisible.org/resource/call-…



What's that? May's cumulative Patch Tuesday updates for Windows 11 and Windows Server 24H2 are over 4GB in size? And given that they're cumulative, presumably every Patch Tuesday update from here on out will be over 4GB?

Neat.

The Sun is Rising Over Kyiv on the 1177th Day of the Full-Scale Invasion. Support is resistance. Here is your weekly Support Report. byteseu.com/1013473/ #Ukraine #Україна


The latest from Doctors without Borders (MSF) "UK government must immediately close Wethersfield mass containment site for asylum seekers" as people in the concentration camp are "experiencing severe mental health distress".

'“When I first saw the military camp, it was a reminder of the military camps in my home country. Very isolated atmosphere. You can’t socialise and you can't learn,” says a resident at Wethersfield in 2024.'

"It is beyond comprehension that Wethersfield remains open, a site which has been the source of intense suffering for people who came to the UK in search of safety."

"77 ans plus tard, l'État israélien mène une seconde Nakba et veut anéantir Gaza et sa population.
L’article Le 15 mai 1948 : la Nakba, nettoyage ethnique du peuple palestinien lors de la création d’Israël est apparu en premier sur Contre Attaque."



Not true then, not true now, not true ever.



Holy wow, XSS to RCE in Restricted Mode in VSCode. What a find!

Omg:

Within the SVG file, top.vscode.ipcRenderer can be used to invoke IPC handlers of the main process. Two handlers in particular, vscode:readNlsFile and vscode:writeNlsFile, were found to be vulnerable to directory traversal, enabling attackers to read and write to any file the process has permission to on the filesystem. The PoC uses this to execute code on Windows and macOS by writing to /out/node_modules/graceful-fs.js, which is a file that does not exist by default but VS Code attempts to import when loading a window (which we can trigger immediately by sending a vscode:reloadWindow IPC message). On Linux, code execution can be achieved through similar means by writing to .bashrc etc.


Directory traversal and VSCode!

You might not like it, but this is what peak compiler performance looks like.
in reply to Ela

how can the compiler break down a recursive function to a mathematical statement? There is no brute force involved or is there? And does it do that only when optimizations are on?
in reply to vdq

@viduq It's not exactly brute force, but it does involve some heavy lifting in the optimizer. Tail recursion elimination turns the recursive calls into a loop. Then, induction variables of the loop are detected, and finally strength reduction, algebraic simplification finish it off.
