Ignoring the results of a test seems like the wrong solution to this problem. Why not make the test harder instead, so that a perfect score could be a ticket to the school of your choice?

Yes, but I don't think it's something that would easily be automated, so every game would have to have its protection reverse engineered by hand.

This won't work in practice for most Flash games. They're almost all "site-locked", so they refuse to execute anywhere except in a browser on the domain where they came from.

The camera in the testing center can't see in your house.

> nobody is creating new ones. I sure wish that were true, but it's almost certainly not.

This isn't related to that, and the same thing would have happened no matter where it was hosted. It was a DMCA issue, not Microsoft giving themselves special treatment with GitHub.

But where do you draw the line? What if it clobbers the stack pointer?

I agree that passing `ax` and `bx` as inputs is better than setting them in the inline asm, but I don't like the idea of setting registers that shouldn't get changed as outputs "just in…

Is AT&T syntax really that bad? In particular, it's way nicer for specifying operand sizes. I'd prefer "andl $3, (%eax)" any day over "and DWORD PTR [eax], 3".

You're mixing up the case fatality rate with the infection fatality rate.

We started this a long time ago. It is "later".

I'm not sure how threading is relevant. CGI inherently requires a new process per request, regardless of any choices you may make about threading.

While that may be true for general use of the gene drive, doesn't this particular use significantly increase the fitness of the individual organisms (despite being harmful to the species as a who…

I wonder what would happen if instead of releasing sterile male screwworms, we used the gene drive to release screwworms that could only have male descendants. I've heard of a similar idea to era…

Won't happen for anything serious, because a process per request doesn't scale. FastCGI is probably as close as anything modern will ever get.

Fair enough. This command would do it then: openssl x509 -req -days 365 -in example.com.csr -CA ca.crt -CAkey ca.key -CAcreateserial -out example.com.crt

This is the no true Scotsman fallacy. If I told you how to sign a certificate with your own CA, you'd tell me the result was "faked up".

It's really ironic that only "stable" distros were affected by this, and that distros with software closer to bleeding-edge worked fine through it.

You didn't need to do that. You could have kept your leaf certificate and just swapped out the expired intermediate certificate.

My point is that connecting with OCSP down carries the exact same risk that accepting an expired certificate does. In both cases, the risk is that the certificate might have been revoked without you k…

Fuchsia could have fixed it by being copyleft licensed. That doesn't preclude in any way having a stable interface for drivers.

I can't claim credit for coming up with it: that honor goes to RMS and the FSF. See https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-compatibility.html and https://www.gnu.or…

> An open source driver Lost you already. Since Fuchsia uses a pushover license instead of a copyleft license, the vendors' drivers aren't going to be open source. Look how many companies…

This one is. None of those other diseases have such a long time period where people are presymptomatic and contagious, and that's the only reason that COVID-19 is out of control.

While a good idea in theory, I feel like this would be pointless in practice, because none of the amendments would ever end up getting the supermajority of approval they'd need to pass.

That's what my browser shows me too, but it's just because it's ignoring the cross-signed one that chains to AAA. The server is sending it, per InCommon's setup instructions.
