Sure, but that's not the point. It's just an illustrative example, and I wanted a short absolute path that is easily recognizable to the reader. I'll fix it, though, to avoid having an example with bad security practices, t

It can if you are executing programs that then try to execute those commands and get your commands instead.

Clever trick. Too bad there's no good way to namespace commands. It would be interesting if you could have, for instance: $ mkdir -p /tmp/bin/my $ printf '%s\n%s\n' '#!/bin/sh' '

Language is really interesting in that way. You can positively or negatively frame literally anything without actually being untruthful.

I'd be proud of it, if they were a good person, took care of themselves, took care of the people around them, and were truly happy in their lives. Some people are perfectly happy working low-level positions in restaurants, sanitation,

I have friends AND family and I manage it. If you wake up at 6 AM and go to bed at 10 PM, work 9 AM to 6 PM, and shut down all your screens and stuff at 8:30 PM, that gives you 8 hours of sleep a night, an hour to work out in the morning,

Wow, I don't know how I entirely missed that. Thanks for the heads up. I've even written a few libraries with C ABI and wrote gems around them with the Ruby FFI gem because I didn't know about Fiddle. I wish the name were bet

I think he's referring to Python's ctypes, which is part of the standard distribution. Ruby and node can't dynamically load C libraries using just the core distro (though it's a little silly of a point to make, given th

That's not native 64-bit integers. That's BigInt, and it's already out everywhere, and unless the situation has changed, it's significantly slower than just 64-bit integers would be. I'm not actually attacking Java

I'd recommend Rust even if just because the available material for learning it is really good: https://www.rust-lang.org/learn I'm just recommending Rust in general, not over Elixir, because I've never used E

> OpenOffice continues because the Apache project chairs in place hate the GPL LibreOffice isn't even GPL. It's Mozilla Public License (MPL). Still copyleft, but much more weakly so, because only MPL source files are required

I really don't understand why Apache doesn't just put the OpenOffice branding on LibreOffice. Is there any real reason to not just make OpenOffice a branded distribution of LibreOffice at this point? edit: oh right, licenses. Li

Not really insecure, because all communication over the public Internet is done on TLS 1.2+. Really, it's at worst as insecure as just using HTTP to the mitm proxy and then having the proxy do the encryption to the outside world, given

I'm actually doing this kind of thing at work right now. A client has a piece of software written by a vendor that went belly-up in 2007. The software is a central part of their business (don't ask me why they didn't try ha

Copyright doesn't punish incidentally matching content. It's specifically right to copy or transform content. To make a case for copyright violation, you have to make the case that it was actually copied. If you want to make a p
