The new Chrome features a mode that 'dims' any website.

Posted on

The "dark mode" feature in applications is no longer surprising anyone. This capability is available in all current operating systems, browsers, and many mobile and desktop applications. However, many websites still do not support this feature. But it seems that this isn't necessary. Developers at Google have added a flag in the Canary version of the browser that activates the corresponding design on various […]

Information disappointment

Posted on

Legitimized, legitimized by these forces, (and, as will be seen, temporarily) mainstream and capricious, legalized by the same hand, marginality – eternal historical companions and allies, alternately intercepting the complexed free will (which, moreover, is often denied in this freedom) – must base their relationships on the principle of dominance, and no other – for it is precisely in it that the archekey lies […]

Syncthing v1.2.1

Posted on

Syncthing is a program for synchronizing files between two or more devices. The latest version resolves the following issues: fs event was not generated when creating a new file; closing a nil channel when sending a stop signal to the client; the web interface displayed an incorrect description of the RC build when updates were disabled; the state value changed when the folder had not yet been started; pausing the folder resulted in an error. […]

Update of the free antivirus package ClamAV 0.101.3

Posted on

Cisco has released a patch for the free antivirus package ClamAV 0.101.3, which resolves a vulnerability that could trigger a denial of service by sending a specially crafted zip archive as an attachment. This issue is a variant of a non-recursive 'zip bomb', the unpacking of which requires a significant amount of time and resources. The essence of the method is to place data in the archive that achieves maximum compression for the zip format — […]

A method for detecting incognito mode browsing in Chrome 76 has been found.

Posted on

In Chrome 76, a loophole in the implementation of the FileSystem API was closed, which allowed the detection of incognito mode usage from web applications. Starting with Chrome 76, instead of blocking access to the FileSystem API, which was used as an indicator of incognito mode activity, the browser no longer restricts the FileSystem API but instead clears any changes made after the session. It turns out that the new implementation has weaknesses, allowing it to still […]

Are multimodal DBMS the foundation of modern information systems?

Posted on

Modern information systems are quite complex. Their complexity is largely due to the intricacies of the data being processed within them. The complexity of the data often lies in the variety of data models used. For example, when data becomes 'big', one of the troublesome characteristics is not only its volume ('volume'), but also its variety ('variety'). If you don’t yet find a flaw in this reasoning, then […]

Young companies aged less than […]

Alexey Savvateev: The Nobel Prize in Economic Sciences awarded to Jean Tirole for his analysis of imperfect markets (2014) and collective reputation

Posted on

If I were to award a Nobel Prize to Jean Tirole, I would do so for his game-theoretical analysis of reputation, or at least include that in the description. I think it’s one of those cases where our intuition aligns well with the model, even though it's hard to validate that model. It falls into the category of models that are difficult or impossible to verify and falsify. But the idea seems completely […]
