Originally posted by Cootehill Javascript is the worlds most secure programming language - it has had exponentially more attacks written for it than any other language.
Very dubious statement there. Yes, the browser security model is heavily tested and there's a strong quality assurance pipeline in place for the major JS engines but the reason for this being the case is that the browser is pretty much the only place where there's even an attempt to take arbitrary turing complete code from an untrusted source and execute it "securely". That's like the hugest attack vector any has ever dreamed of, so for all the heroic effort poured into secure JS execution it's only necessitated by software that's a huge soft target in the first place.
Also the safety of the "language", even when proven formally (which it's not in the case of JS) doesn't change the fact that it's running on browsers written in C++ on OSs with historically imperfect process isolation (assuming process isolation is used between runtimes, which is not true in all browsers) running on hardware that's been on a losing streak with respect to security lately.Yes, if you're doing something deeply illegal in tor, like bennyvader shit, just maybe, maybe, turn javascript off. Even though I don't know why you would bother with a late version of tor browser.
But for everything else, even white nationalist publications, it's perfectly safe, and doesn't pose a threat. I don't care if weev and dailystormer.name have my IP address. They already have my name and my bitcoin address. And I couldn't care less, I'm more or less open WN, and it's not against the law in Ireland, and if it ever comes up I'll oppose it publicly in the Irish Parliament.
Turning away from a desire for security, performance and useragent restrictions are a huge reason why it's desirable to support nojs scenarios. I post from a textmode browsers that doesn't have a javascript engine for a significant part of my day. Textmode browsers exist, they have advantages, and sometimes they're the only thing available to you. Further, while the level of javascript used here probably isn't going to represent a performance problem for anyone, go try loading a news site and tell me in-browser execution isn't abused to hell.
Here's an empty cache page load from a CNN article with JS on:
and with it off:
Actually I stopped the first one at the load event but it continued loading videos in sequence, it spiked one core up to 100% for like 15 seconds and audio I had going in another browser tab skipped slightly in the process of loading a 6 paragraph news article. Imagine trying to download that shit on a spotty 3G connection with a phone that's 2-3 years old (that's a huge set of users). That's fucking criminal, and allowing users to opt out of javascript puts a huge dent in it. -

It's experimental tech which is not a compelling experience today.
It underperforms average standard displays.

Originally posted by DietPiano I'm planning to get a Switch by the time Smash comes out though, so I can challenge Lanney in a wholesome new way.
Bring it braj. Do you play melee? If so I can go ahead and assert my big dick/big sword marth dominance right now.Depending on how the screen is (I don't expect to play on that tablet much), I'll may get a mid grade 4K TV. I can't get a definitive answer on whether 4K is really better than a decked out 1080P TV or not though… I want something with a good true refresh rate, which seems to be the number one factor in determining a TV's price unfortunately.
The switch display is nice, coming from the 3DS it's incredible, and it's totally usable on the go but I preferred a TV while at home. I'm the pickiest motherfucker you'll ever meet when it comes to displays, but insofar as TVs are different from computer monitors I don't really know anything about them. "Mid grade 4K TV" is pretty much exactly what I have, when I have good 4K content I'd say it's totally worth it but that's not super common these days (obviously that's changing, although at what rate who knows). I wouldn't pay too much attention to refresh rate as almost anything you plug into a TV aren't going to be putting out more than 60fps. I play PC games on a 144hz display and while I can see _a_ difference it would be like the first thing I would cut if I was trying to bring down the cost of a build. I took a display with not great latency which in retrospect I might regret if I get very competitive with ultimate, but I've never been much of a reaction based player anyway and it saved a significant number of bucks.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
2018-08-18 at 9:52 PM UTC in Doing a NAS BuildI've been thinking of setting up small server in my home. Since I'm being cucked by comcast I couldn't run any serious outward facing services on it, but lately I've been feeling a bit nervous about backups. I have backups for most the stuff I care about, but they're all on hardware I don't own. Given the MS acquisition of github I'm feeling the need to keep a local mirror of my projects and my music collection is sitting in a cut rate data center somewhere that I fully expect to go up in smoke through admin incompetence, and it'd be nice to mirror my seedbox on my local network so I don't have to put up with comcast throttling the shit out of me at peak hours. I also have some significant matlab batch jobs it might be nice to ship off to a server so I can have my workstation either going in parallel or I can play videogames while that runs on another server, although that's secondary.
I'm thinking of doing a RAID 5 setup, I definitely want redundancy and the ability to expand in the future would be nice, which is why I chose a case with extra drive racks (also you can get it in this sick orange color: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DSHZ5MU).

Any comments/suggestions? I was hoping to keep the build under $500 which I overshot a bit. Not sure what to cut though. I could probably get a cheaper CPU (and mobo, consequently) but I feel like I'm giving up a lot of perf for that next fifty or so bucks. I do feel kinda dumb spending more on the mobo than CPU though, I'm not sure if it's AMD sockets or motherboards have just gotten expensive or because I'm buying at the lower end or because I'm doing mini-ITX but I'm not seeing anything below $100 that isn't getting trashed in reviews.

2018-08-22 at 5:01 AM UTC in Dying Light The FollowingI thought about getting The Following. The base game was fucking stupid on so many levels, I hated _every_ character that got a single line, the durability mechanics were cancer, the plot was a moronic sequence of macguffins, the stealth sequences resolved to "spam q and watch patterns", the "oh no we're running out of anti-zombie-meds" like was the stupidest plot device since you could never, no matter what you do, actually run out of said med AND YET there was something really damn fun about it. Progressing from having to play hella skittish and running for the window as soon as you hear a noise in the beginning of the game to being able to grab-and-run through difficult areas, to becoming a fire/lightning scimitar avatar of re-de-animation was satisfying. It was poor horror but the difficulty of the early night missions was enough to create some real shit-your-pants moments the first time you have to go through a tunnel, when those sprinty niggas show up, or any time you enter a confined space.
The skill balancing was really jank as only like 20% of them were really worth a shit, but when you got one of those 20% it was awesome. I remember spending like 3 days blowing off the game's quests just dropkicking zombie nigs into (completely unexplained) spiky shit for exp. I also distinctly remember the first time I survived a night outside by running out of a safe zone, dropkicking the a night zombie off a roof, and booking it back for like half an hour, then slowly working up to moving further out, taking more risks, eventually being able to move between safezones. It was a really satisfying formula for some reason.
It's a great example of a game that managed to do almost everything wrong but still somehow created a really satisfying gameplay loop that salvaged the game.

Eye for an eye, bitches.
They think they can physically assault people, just watch how they recoil once people start killing these roaches off one by one.
Antifa are violent scum, so let's kill them! Yeah! Nothing hypocritical about that. Anyone who engages in violent protest or counterprotest should be violently killed in protest!The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -
