This is an really interesting idea, but I'm genuinely curious if you have an idea as to how it might be implemented. I'm not an expert on cryptocurrencies, but I don't know how I would encode the condition "has a vulnera

If you haven't seen it, take a look at elm-sortable-table [0]. It's an example reusable view, written by Evan, that's meant to demonstrate exactly what you're asking about. [0] https://github.com/evancz&#

This is incredibly cool! I'm running an Elm workshop for my coworkers next week, and this will provide a much better experience than having them install everything locally.

Tinfoil Security! All of our release engineering is orchestrated through a small Phoenix app that calls out to docker images to perform various types of deployments (Heroku, EC2, ECS, building docker images, etc). I'll probably do a wr

I agree that your second code example is difficult to read, but I think that is more a result of a lot of logic being inlined into one call, than it is a property of the language. % and | are going to be unclear if you're an outsider l

I'm curious about what aspects of the syntax you consider to be unreadable. Elixir code tends to be terse (though less terse than something like Haskell), but I wouldn't call it gobbledegook. The server implementation [0], for exa

It's definitely cool, but it's far from intuitive. Worse, the licensing is nearly impossible to deal with as an individual. If you're interested in getting started with reverse engineering, I recommend Binary Ninja [0]. It&#x

You might be interested in coeffects. Just like monads can be used in a language like Haskell to model effectful operations, you can use the dual of monads, comonads, to model the dual of effects, coeffects! Coeffects can be used to represe

I came across this project while working on our own Erlang codebase. Part of me thinks the entire thing sounds like madness, but the more I read through the documentation, it seems like there's a lot of merit to be had here. Does anyon

The output of Math.random also doesn't seem to be very uniform. With the original code, I'm consistently seeing Erin appear first 60% of the time, and Thomas first 30% of the time. Jeremy is left with 10%. Even after changing the

It determines this by computing the cyclomatic complexity of the function. You can think of the cyclomatic complexity as being the number of distinct paths through a function. The rich support for quoting / unquoting code in Elixir mak

Huge respect to co9 for playing a great game this year. They really went all out, and deserved the win. I'm extremely proud of the progress my team made throughout DEFCON, and we were still always a solid 10 - 15 hours behind them. Thi

Huge props to Gulshan and Javier for launching. This is an incredibly cool platform, and the work they've been doing to introduce people to security through CTFs is hugely important: the only way we're going to build a more secure
