  1. This community was banned for repeatedly violating Reddit's Moderator Code of Conduct.
  2. Does anybody know how to just list the processes running inside a single container from within that container?

    And isn’t it a design flaw if you can see all processes from inside a container? This could provide useful information for escaping it.

  3. Go based, similar to JS based ALTCHA https://altcha.org/ discussed at https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=43971068 Has a nice diagram showing how it works protecting web forms.
  4. This dance to get access is just a minor annoyance for me, but I question how it proves I’m not a bot. These steps can be trivially and cheaply automated.

    I think the end result is just an internet resource I need is a little harder to access, and we have to waste a small amount of energy.

  5. Re: retrieval: That's where the snake eats its tail as AI slop floods the web, grounding is like laying a foundation in a swamp. And that Rube Goldberg machine tries to prevent the snake from reaching its tail. But RGs are brittle and not exactly the thing you want to build infrstructure on. Just look at https://www.hackerneue.com/item?id=46239752 for an example how easy it can break.
  6. Grounding in search results is what Perplexity pioneered and Google also does with AI mode and ChatGPT and others with web search tool.

    As a user I want it but as webadmin it kills dynamic pages and that's why Proof of work aka CPU time captchas like Anubis https://github.com/TecharoHQ/anubis#user-content-anubis or BotID https://vercel.com/docs/botid are now everywhere. If only these AI crawlers did some caching, but no just go and overrun the web. To the effect that they can't anymore, at the price of shutting down small sites and making life worse for everyone, just for few months of rapacious crawling. Literally Perplexity moved fast and broke things.

  7. And it spawned ExtJS. Which could have been React, but they messed up. Literally they built a faster Facebook app 'Fastbook' in 2012.

    Short history lesson:

    https://medium.com/hackernoon/the-rise-and-fall-of-ext-js-c9...

    In August 2006, a guy by the name of Jack Slocum (now CEO of Alta5) began to blog of his experiments with YUI. Over time, these experiments became more complex and Jack would start to bundle them into what would later be named YUI-ext (Yahoo UI extensions) — the precursor to Ext JS (Extensible JavaScript).

    Jack Slocum’s blog was used to communicate his vision for YUI-ext and garnered community support from around the world. The release of the Grid component for YUI-ext would forever change the trajectory of the library and the community as the GridPanel would become the core UI component for many applications to come.

    Throughout its early life, Jack continued to build upon YUI-ext by adding features to the framework, such as animations, Modals, Tab Panel, Resizable elements and a layout manager that greatly expanded upon the YUI framework. These components would seldom extend the YUI library and had their own rendering functions.

    YUI-ext created a foundation for web programmers unlike anything the world had seen before and many developers flocked to the framework and invested in the newly formed community. The net result was the explosive expansion of YUI-ext.

    From YUI-ext to Ext JS In January 2007 we found Jack extremely busy to push out YUI-ext 0.40 and it is this version where we find the namespace of the framework change from YAHOO.ext to a much simpler Ext (pronounced “ekst J S” or “E-X-T J S” by some of us old-school community members).

    February 2007, Ext JS 1.0 was being developed in tandem with a new website, ExtJS.com. In April 2007, the launch of ExtJS.com was announced to the community along with the release of Ext JS 1.0.

    For those that don’t know, Ext JS was one of the first JavaScript frameworks in the early days of Web 2.0. It was the first framework to offer a complete package of everything needed to build full-fledged applications using just JavaScript in a web browser. At one point, it was used by over 2 million developers worldwide, 70% of the fortune 500, and 8 of the top 10 financial institutions. It was years ahead of everyone else, open source, and had an incredible community of passionate people contributing to its success.

    As that success grew, so did the number of copycat competitors. They eventually started taking the code and assets and embedding them into their own frameworks. Adobe embedded it in Cold Fusion and other competitive frameworks followed their lead without any contribution to the framework or community.

    At the time the thought of competing directly against a behemoth like Adobe was scary. How could they take our product and offer it as their own? I took what I thought was the right action to “protect” Ext JS from being “stolen” by changing to a more restrictive license. That was a huge mistake.

    Looking back in hindsight, without the fear, I have a much clearer picture. I see what truly made Ext JS great was not the code - it was all the people who loved, contributed and supported it. As we worked on making our own dreams a reality, we helped others do the same, sharing our knowledge, code, and solving tough challenges together.

    That is what really mattered — our community. That is what I should have protected, not the code. You were my closest friends. I am sorry I changed the license after we all came to an agreement on the first license. That was a breach of integrity and you deserved better. I would do it differently if I could.

  8. Oh noes, I explored with sound off.
  9. The main aspect of the design for popularity being low price, bought with subpar quality. It will fade soon after recent examination mentioned in sister comments to yours.

    It was to good/cheap to be true.

  12. The link tells the story how Bill Atkinson sped up drawing primitives on early Apple devices.

    It does not support the claim that corners are in any way special for human vision. I’m very skeptical on that. AFAIK motion is most easily perceptible.

  13. Such a powerful demo. TIL I learned that functional complete is necessary but not sufficient for Turing completeness, for which you need storage and random access to it. Which you can probably implement somehow but not easily performant, and not in infinite dimensions.

  14. SVG and CSS filters can leak cross-origin data via iframes from March 6, 2025

    Researchers have observed that, in Chrome:

    A hostile webpage can create SVG or CSS filters that cover an iframe on the same page and act on the iframe's content.

    Specially-crafted filters can be created that vary their performance characteristics (different use of memory bandwidth or compute resources) based on input data.

    The induced differences in load can, in turn, be used to leak the input data through a timing sidechannel readable from Javascript.

  17. Projects hosted on Vercel benefit from platform-level protections that already block malicious request patterns associated with this issue.

  18. Also one of LBW, LINE or LOW?

    LBW is a Linux system call translator for Windows. It allows you to run unmodified Linux applications on top of Windows.

    It is not virtualisation; only one operating system is running, which is Windows. It is not emulation; Linux applications run directly on the processor, resulting in (theoretically) full native performance.

    Consider it as being like WINE, but in reverse.

    https://cowlark.com/lbw/index.html https://github.com/davidgiven/LBW

    LINE Is Not an Emulator. LINE executes unmodified Linux applications on Windows 98/2000 by intercepting Linux system calls. The Linux applications themselves are not emulated. They run directly on the CPU like all other Windows applications.

    LINE runs best on Windows 2000

    Call me crazy, but I've wanted to run a linux binary natively under windows for a while now; kinda like wine, but in reverse.

    Well, the other day I was browsing through the MSDN docs (as you do) and discovered that it is possible to install a "vectored" exception handler. A quick bit of test code later, and I discovered that I can trap "int 0x80" instructions using this technique--those are used by linux binaries to initiate syscalls
