    • RE: What stops Australia Post being used for IT garbage disposal?

      And with a content injection vulnerability as well:

      Chrome's XSS Auditor protects against script injection, but I'm sure someone could manage a bypass (especially one targeted at older browsers) or a CSRF.

    • RE: United Airlines: the airline we love to hate, but we can't agree on why

      @Mason_Wheeler said in United Airlines: the airline we love to hate, but we can't agree on why:

      @HardwareGeek said in United Airlines: the airline we love to hate, but we can't agree on why:
      Some very serious people spent years and years in the 90s pushing for airlines to reinforce cockpit doors against the very plausible event of a hijacking attempt. The airlines resisted, not wanting the expense.

      Then 9/11 happened. Now they're all reinforced.

      And then a pilot locked the cockpit door while the copilot was in the lavatory and flew the plane into the side of a mountain. Before 9/11 hijackings were regarded as hostage situations at worst; they were eminently survivable for passengers and crew.

    • RE: Amazon out to kill every WISP in existence

      @MrL said in Amazon out to kill every WISP in existence:

      Thankfully QR codes never cought on around here.
      As for menus, I've never seen non-physical one.

      It doesn't matter if QR codes have been cought on; you don't have to touch them to scan them with your phone's camera. What people are worried about is whether a physical menu has been cought on.

    • RE: Undefined OOP Techniques

      @dkf said in Undefined OOP Techniques:

      Why can't the C++ committee stop with this pretence and define an evaluation order (and let the compiler handle the non-breaking reorderings)?

      Performance in the presence of aliasing.

      auto f(int (&array)[3], int& i, int& j) { array[i++] = j; }
      

      If you define an evaluation order then the compiler has to serialize the reads and writes, which could result in an underfilled pipeline. If it can assume that i and j don't alias each other nor array, it can issue the reads and writes overlapped.
