Not in the world I'm living in. Windows-only software is far, far more common than Windows+Mac software. (The software I'm talking about is Windows-only. I know you might mean Mac Office.) PS: And because writing portable software

The hopping sequences are well-known, there is actually no PRNG involved. Of course, it'd work, assuming it was a cryptographically safe PRNG, and there was a safe key exchange. Real-world (hobby) RC transmitters/receivers used to

The source is at https://github.com/clbr/fifth Maybe someone should tell them about GH user pages :) The project seems mostly dead though.

Sure you should be able to defend yourself. Just not with guns. If you need guns, call the police.

I found it rather dull, and the entire notion of using pheromones to control multicopters really absurd.

A full featured SDR capable of transmitting (based on hackrf). Which, to my knowledge, is the first time a conference has handed out badges that were actually useful afterwards. Pretty awesome. And here's the talk: https:/&#x2F

No, what you're saying is exactly my point: there's nothing wrong here.

TLS wouldn't help; the greatest risk is the author himself sending a malicious script (no offense, Sergii). So everyone needs to check the script before running it anyway. Which is easy, because it's a very short script. (Of cours

Already exists, but is completely unrelated. It's not curl thats the problem, it's combination of download and execution in the "curl | sh -" pattern, which is not used in the article.

What, just because he's suggesting to use curl to download a file? There's a difference between "curl ... | sh -" and this. He's even separated it nicely into steps, so you can view that (very short) file in between

I doubt that'd work; I don't think they could make it expensive enough that they don't loose money without driving users to free sniping tools. (It's funny that there's a fee for the auction scheduling feature when

Go is 1-2 orders of magnitude faster than Ruby, and much easier to write concurrent code in. It makes perfect sense to me. What would you have recommended them, for a reasonably-high-performance server implementation? (Please don't say

Stop jumping to conclusions, and stop throwing around buzzwords. GoF is a (somewhat C++-centric) book about design patterns that's completely unrelated to the discussion at hand, may not be the best resource to learn about design patte

Python is a prime example of a rotten standard library. Take urllib/urllib2 (use requests instead), unittest (use py.test or nose), os (too low-level, hence arcane usage) or time as examples (use pytz for anything serious), and of cour
