How is giving every internal host a wildcard cert not a cure far worse than the disease in 99 percent of the cases?

Does anybody have a sense of whether this is best seen as "a proposal by the UK House of Lords", or "a proposal by three fringe whackjobs in the UK House of Lords"? I honestly don't have any idea. How influential ar

They did recommend it at one point. But I don't think that makes it not-bad. It was long enough ago that they might have been worried about crypto performance; I don't know.

There already are, and have been for a while. And, yes, of course, they've been involved in lobbying for the requirements.

Both of them, still, in some places, although she may get more lenient treatment because she's a juvenile. Other places have cleaned that up in various ways, although I think he's usually still at risk unless he actively turns her

That just encourages people to keep using old, unmaintained, insecure versions of libraries. Then, when they're still on version 2.1.1, and your maintained version is 5.7.3, and somebody finds a major security bug in 2.1, they will com

You found that out at the last minute. So then you did a release. It's no longer the last minute. Now what's your excuse for the next release? If your management won't resource your project to the point where you can assure

Why does your codebase generate hundreds of warnings, given that every time one initially appeared, you should have stamped it out (or specifically marked that one warning to be ignored)? Start with one line of code that doesn't gene

> If you have a new warning on upgrade you probably want to work on it "next week", but that means you need to ignore it for a bit. So you create a bug report or an issue or a story or whatever you happen to call it, and you m

If you are a good developer, you consider warnings to be errors until proven otherwise.

I'm more expecting a dystopian age of scarce-for- you closeted space fascism, but neither one is going to have any use for your work or care what degrees you have.

I'm mostly surprised it wasn't Fraktur. How pitiful do you have to be as Secretary of State to get into minutiae about fonts, anyway?

So what? "Illness" is not necessarily a useful category or criterion for anything.

You show a touching level of confidence in the idea that test scores are a useful metric of anything anybody cares about... especially after they're Goodharted into oblivion. Maybe the extreme ends of the ranges are, if you compensate

Get rid of academic terms, so that the finals don't all fall in the same week. Probably a hard sell. Be less obsessed with evaluation and grading. Which probably means people have to be less obsessed with having a credentialing and gat

"Never scan public QR codes" is functionally equivalent to "never type in a URL and never click on a link". Other than the smallish scan-specific attack surface that you mention and then largely dismiss, there's not

Um, the data retention directive didn't apply to dashcams, only network metadata... and that Wikipedia article isn't curing my confusion.

Hmm. So, as I read the article, they've dropped the mandatory universal scanning (which has the effect of no longer requiring on-device scanning)... but added age verification. Voluntary scanning (voluntary for the provider, not for th
