I think the buffer size is the limit on what they check for malicious data, so the old 128k would mean it would be trivial to circumvent by just having 128k ok data and then put the exploit after.

I got curious and I checked AWS WAF. Apparently AWS WAF default limit for CloudFront is 16KB and max is 64KB.

I don't think "persuasion" is the key here. People change political preferences based on group identity. Here AI tools are even more powerful. You don't have to persuade anyone, just create a fake bandwagon.

Are you confusing apps sold on Steam with games made by Valve?


Maybe I'm not up to date. Are there no longer loot boxes in Counter Strike?

> Malay culture adopted Arabic alphabet without colonization

Is that just because you define "colonization" as "by western countries"?


Do you have evidence that Malaysia was "colonized" by Arabs?

There is evidence that Parameswara converted to Islam following his infatuation with and marriage to a girl from the Samudera Pasai Sultanate.

Doesn't that seem like the silliest thing you ever read? When the infatuation ended ( like all infatuations do ), did he convert back? The only thing royals are infatuated with is wealth and power. If anything, don't you think the guy converted to get preferable treatment from the arab traders or get special access to the arab trading network? There is more to the story for sure. But I'm not buying that fanciful story.


> Doesn't that seem like the silliest thing you ever read?

Not even close to be frankly honest.

Leaving aside the delibrate silliness of Edward Lear, Roald Dahl, et al and focusing just on origin stories relating to the spread of various beliefs ...

* maybe that fishing boat passenger that got out and walked across the water ?

> If anything, don't you think the guy converted to get preferable treatment from the arab traders

I suspect the marriage was political .. but he wasn't marrying into a family of arab traders, Sultan Malikussaleh (the progenitor of the Samudera Pasai Sultanate) was an Acehnese man from part of what is now called Sumatra, a part of Indonesia.

> special access to the arab trading network

Was pretty low key wrt volume between the modern middle east and Indonesia back in the time we are looking at - the trade advantages by volume (ie. that which mattered) was all local to the greater archipelago.

Moreover, returning to the original point upthread, there's no evidence of colonisation by arabs in the sense of colonisation by the British of India or various parts of Africa, colonisation by the Dutch in the East Indies, colonisation by the Germans in Africa and PNG, by the French in Vietnam, etc.


> focusing just on origin stories relating to the spread of various beliefs ...

The difference being that nobody believes those silly things. Or are you saying you believe these nonsense also?

> I suspect the marriage was political ..

Why didn't you say so in the first place.

> but he wasn't marrying into a family of arab traders

Did I say he married into a family of arab traders? Stop with your bullshit already.


No. But Arabs didn't colonize the Malay islands. They just adopted Islam from their internal politics. Not sure why this triggered you, pretty much everybody is a colonizer.

AWS feels more like Lidl though...

Is it silly though? With enough linguistic archeology I bet you can make this entire comment I'm writing right now extremely problematic and offensive. The linguistic treadmill means exactly that older terms change meaning back in time. They also change meaning FORWARD in time, meaning your inoffensive terms today will almost certainly be offensive in the future.

It's also the case that offense is language dependent, which is always funny when Americans hard ban certain words on chats and then Swedes can't use the Swedish word for "end" because it's spelled like a slur in English.

Everyone needs to stop this nonsense.


> Swedes can't use the Swedish word for "end" because it's spelled like a slur

"Ände" is a slur? (excuse my lack of transductional skills)


They probably mean "slut". The word has the same meaning in Danish, by the way

I did this with my entire employment at a company I worked with. Or rather, I should say I made it a point to ignore the roadmap and do what was right for the company by optimizing for value for customers and the team.

Fixit weeks is a band aid, and we also tried it. The real fix is being a good boss and trusting your coworkers to do their jobs.


You mean the same Russia that the US and Europe has been too weak to stop? That's not a great argument...


That's one way to see it, the other way to see it is that they're bleeding russia dry while making big bucks on arms sales, basically forcing the EU to buy fracking gas at 4x markup and ensuring they'll get all the juicy reconstruction contracts.


Have you bet on that on some betting market? I'd like to take that bet.


I have not, but I just checked and the odds for HLS moon landing before 2028 are at 12%.

https://kalshi.com/markets/kxmoon/nasa-lands-on-the-moon/moo...


12% odds for 3 years seems fairly resonable for a manned landing.

Your statement of "Starship will never go to Mars. It's very unlikely it will go to the Moon" which sounds like it includes even unmanned test landnings is a quite different beast.


There are more possible bets on manifold, you do you.

I'm not really a betting man, but given the HLS budget is spent and most of technology is not nearly developed I'd say even an unmanned Moon landing is at least 5 years and $10 billion away and Mars is pure fantasy.


> but given the HLS budget is spent

What does that mean? Starship is basically self-funded by SpaceX and the amount of money they got for the HLS contract is something they blew way past even before the contract, that doesn't make much sense.


"for typescript" in the title would have been a good idea


Also - what's so "Swift-inspired"? There's not a single mention of Swift in README.


It’s based on Swift’s codable protocol: https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swift/codable


Very loosely. Swift Codable doesn't require you to annotate every field for example.
