Okay. So? HOTP and TOPT are so trivial to implement, you can even use a C64[0] as your 2FA device. Here's my anti-FAQ[1] to their FAQ: --- ### TOPT ANTI-FAQ 1. Want a guide to implementing time-based passwords in your app? Here y

Glad to see the Gentoo folks working on porting some of these ancient code bases. I still see a good bit of C99, and sometimes even C89 when I poke around in source packages. Even more importantly, it's good to see them documenting

Whoops, I noticed a mistake! > One of them actually dropped out of ~~college~~ high school(!), then went on to get hired at Netflix at 23 years old, back when they were only hiring senior engineers.

I agree with your thesis, but I don't think there are 5 colleges or universities in the US that actually truly teach people how to think critically, with genuine curiosity. I despise people who are smart and educated, but not the leas

As a self-taught SWE myself, I agree with your observations. Two of the most talented engineers I've ever met were self-taught. The interesting thing about the two people I'm thinking of is that, besides being self-taught, neithe

I have some regrets about my choice of undergrad school, but it isn't because I went someplace cheap. I could have gone to one of the multiple state schools that would have given me half off just for being born somewhere. Instead, I w

The direction of political discourse hasn't been toward "radicalization" per se. Democrats have only moved slightly to the left of where they were in the early 1970s, but the majority of that movement has taken place since

Yes, and as I recently learned, there's an awful lot of law that only exists inside the heads of district court judges and law clerks. An argument that might win the day in one courtroom might fall flat in the next county over.

There have been sufferers ranging from age 18-85, and it affects both men and women in approximately equal numbers. Both of those things are highly suggestive of some kind of environmental cause. If this were an episode of House, a lot

Yeah, that's what I was thinking: just throw the whole lot inside a Docker container and call it a day. Unless you're dealing with potentially malicious code that could break out of a container, that should isolate the rest of yo

The difference is there aren't hundreds of people applying to some random company's "opportunistic hiring" post, meanwhile the req gets reposted every 2 weeks like clockwork (possibly with a lower salary and more duties)

I don't love the "simple" lexer for PL/0. Specifically, I don't think this > m = re.match(r"(?P<num>[0-9]+)|(?P<op>[-+*/()<>=])|(?P<ws>\s+)|(?P<kw>begin|end\.|end|if|then|

So you're saying you think the lives of people who are not "functioning members of society" are not meaningful? I guess I need to ask you to define your terms then, because I disagree based on what I'd define "mean

I agree with this. I do google symptoms myself on occasion, but I always try to make sure that what I see online reflects what's actually going on with me to the extent possible, and I don't freak out when one of the possibilitie

The question we should be asking isn't how easy is it to diagnose the X most common conditions. The question should be given someone goes to a doctor, what's the probability that their condition will be misdiagnosed. And further

Challenger did not explode because of a "seal failure." That tragedy was entirely preventable. At least one of the engineers raised the alarm, saying that because of the recent cold weather, they couldn't guarantee that the
