This non-linear way of storytelling kind of reminds me a bit of Ben Robbins' Microscope. We begin with a blank slate but we progressively fill in details, going wherever we want to shift our focus next.
Is there any situation where you'd want to remember the opcodes? Disassemblers should give you user-friendly assembly code, without any need to look at the raw numbers. Maybe it's useful to remember which instructions are pseudo instructions (so you know stuff like jz (jump if zero) being the same as je (jump if equal) making it easier to understand the disassembly), but I don't think you need to remember the opcode numbers for that.
Edit: Maybe with malware analysis where the malware in question may be obfuscated in interesting ways to make the job of binary analysis harder?
This one, if by unix he also means modern linux systems. Nowadays you can simply use tar xf my-file.tar.whatever and it should work on most linux systems (it worked on every modern linux system I've tried and every compressed tar file I've tried). I don't think it is hard to remember the xf part.
Something I've been for a while now is why this gender disparity is so strong in this specific area of engineering compared to all other engineering areas. People seem to claim it's because of the "geek" stereotype, but that seems more like a symptom than a cause and I fail to see how it enforces this disparity, considering there's nothing preventing a woman from being a geek too.
What does the process of creating your comics look like? Do you begin by drawing or with the words? Since you have a universe where this takes place and that the images must generally be recognizable as something (ie. it can't just be an amorphous pile of pixels), I reckon that your mind isn't entirely free? Or do you begin writing/drawing without the initial intent of posting it on this community, and if the image takes on a shape and reveals something out of Analog Nowhere do you post it on here? Or do you pull the core idea or picture of the comic out of your mind onto the screen, where you fill out the blanks so as to make it real?
I've never played it, but aren't League of Legends servers already authoritative? Also, I'm pretty sure it would only deal with certain kinds of cheats. An authoritative server won't be able to prevent a player from using an aimbot, for example, since nothing says that a player isn't allowed to have super accurate aim. The server can't tell if they are cheating or just insanely good. Nevermind I missed your sentence mentioning *-bots.
I wonder whether, even with an omnipotent anticheat software installed, cheating would still be possible by having the router manipulate your packets on the way to the server (ie. having all the *-bot work being done on that device). I imagine TLS could maybe thwart that attempt, since the router can't decrypt the packets, but I don't think it's really a problem since the client could also just provide it with the unencrypted packet and the server's public key, so that the router may fabricate the packets. On the other hand, anticheat software would be aware of that since the client has to send those extra packets, but how could it know that those packets are being sent for nefarious purposes and not just simply some other normal software doing it's thing?
That was unexpectedly quick. I thought we'd be waiting years before we could even begin talking about any kind of measures that could be taken in response to the crimes (assuming that it wouldn't be dismissed on the way).
(pretty sure they are talking about the scary book that is the Communist Manifesto, which is visible in the picture. I think it is about a ghost haunting Europe or something)
I think this is a sort of anti-license, so I think the sort of people who use it reject copyright law.
