Sweet. I remember when X:Com UFO Defense had their copy protection codes stored in the .EXE not as unsigned integers but as ASCII text. Not difficult to set it to all 0000-0000 for every question, or just jump over the code that does the ch

Copy II PC Option board, actual floppy notchers, and cleaning disks and diskettes are just some of the other floppy paraphernalia. Floppies have notoriously low reliability (unrecoverable reads) and painful transfer rates. ZIP disks were on

Give your DNA or personal deets to any organization, and you've immediately lost control over your privacy in perpetuity (no pun intended) in unknowable ways, possibly even after you cease being amongst the living.

It's painful and doesn't have customization points. It's a dream for enterprise but useless for a hacker. Source: We (MAANG) dumped the thing and rewrote it from scratch.

The title of this piece is clickbait and inaccurate compared to the content. And low quality media source. The speaker is credible (being CM, but it assumes it's an entirely authentic video). This is partly a redux of the ideas of Chal

And the iteration of communism splintering from socialism. To be truthful, this is essentially what the political estate can devolve into at any time, with or without a January insurrection.

Define a "GUI" - web, native, or non-native Define "complex" - is that 38 elements, 130, 510, or 927? Do modals count? Define a "line" - JS can be minified, Elm is terse. Do you count libraries? The problem is

I estimate the FB app is ~3 MLoC of Objective-C++. I wrote Pascal programs as a kid that were 10KLoC. LoC is a terrible metric because it's not the size that matters, but how it's used. Smaller that does more is more secure, less

Chef + reliable CAs other than Let's Encrypt that have an API = the end. Invest in: 0. Automation 1. Documentation 2. Take away SSH 3. Except for data stores, ephemeralize servers so they can be blown away and automatically reprovision

255.255.255.255 is the broadcast address and all other 240/4 are "for research purposes." IPv4 doesn't need "research" anymore because it's as dead as a whale oil barrel patch kit. I say fine: use them and

This brings back memories of a computer graphics course. It was (re)implementing part of the OpenGL 1.3 pipeline in C++98 as a 2D triangle-to-trapezoid engine using the painter's algorithm (and then W- or Z-buffering). Coincidentally,
