It has nothing to do with 'trusting them' and everything to do with the threat model because it significantly increases the attack surface area. Just because I want to grant system access to a relatively simply USB driver doesn&#x

The sad reality is that if your app serves any real business value and you can't afford to hire a team that can quickly handle scaling attacks, simply running your own server isn't really a viable option anymore. The internet&#x27

It's almost like we've turned yaml into some sort of primitive assembly file that must be compiled by a higher-order language. What was once created for human readability, has now turned into a machine generated and machine parsed

Yeah, going and flying over the small rural farm I grew up on I was disappointing since Flight Simulator had procedurally generated a whole compound full of random buildings that made it look like some cult compound.

Absolutely. Kotlin is *widely* used for backend code at Amazon.

Kotlin is widely used internally at Amazon. In both AWS and retail.

This is a bad idea for so many reasons. The front-end and back-end data models are vastly different for any non-trivial application.

Remediation for this vulnerability basically caused complete gridlock for the internal tools at a certain FAANG company today.

How are the curves defined? Is there a 'standard' curve that's generally used or is the curve itself randomly generated along with the keys?

it more so prevents people from retroactively going back in time and scraping data they wouldn't have in the moment. Many of my chats expire all messages after 24 hours because of this. Most people will not archive all texts they get i

At my company, if you don't check into an on-call ticket within 20 minutes your manager will get paged, who will then likely need to page one of your peers to actually fix the problem. So it's not like you can just ignore it until

This isn't just an issue with GCC but embedded compilers as well. On embedded systems its common to work with packed data structures to maximize serial protocol efficiency. Lets say you have a packed structure with a type of stru

The 50 days is arbitrary - the owners of GetTickTime should have written tests to handle what happens when the tick value rolls over. (Maybe they did, and allowing it to roll over was the desired behavior.) But more to the point - the consu
