Not sure why this is being downvoted. It works for a lot of people I know, is modular, stable, open-source and works across the Unixen. The obvious tradeoff the relative lack of polish and overhead during initial setup, but if you're w

This is so deep that I'll have to take care not to get nitrogen poisoning coming back up.

If you're talking about the flame graphs, they're a fairly common feature of modern profilers. The oldest implementation I know of is at https://github.com/brendangregg/FlameGraph .

I think the comment you're replying to makes a solid point, still. If this bug were to appear every 200 years, that's substantially longer than the lifespan of any single airframe currently in existence (and nearly twice as long a

A shebang is good practice, but the state of the industry is such that many scripts don't use them (unfortunately). I'm still of the opinion that fish is little more than a novelty and won't see widespread adoption in the lon

The problem with fish is that it's not POSIX-compliant, and it doesn't try to be (it's a design non-goal), and it's not backwards-compatible with the literally billions of POSIX-compliant scripts and tools already out th

This has varied over time. I've found that it's definitely more about "who you'd like to have a beer with" at early-to-mid stage startups, and becomes more about actually being someone you'll both be effective

To be fair, the evil bit's a great idea; it just failed to get much support from the malware developer community.

It's a weird world where kids are more scared of the metric system than they are of a credit card-sized Linux computer with its guts showing.

To address the elephant in the room: this is a repost, but it's really useful for newer programmers looking to familiarize themselves with the (still ubiquitous) RFC format, and there are always new programmers browsing HN.

Is that also true of their quantum computing researchers? It does look like they put out some pretty decent research in that area.

Not to downplay 2MB of handwritten code in any language, but this is 2MB of potentially-handwritten code in a language with a hilariously small amount of abstraction and a minuscule instruction set (since it'd be a bit exaggerative to

Indefensible is debatable. It can be defeated using any of the major 2FA mechanisms (FIDO U2F, HOTP/TOTP come to mind).

Physical access is often considered total access in the infosec community. It implies the ability to, with enough prep time ahead of the actual physical access, inject malware through a physical interface (USB flash drive, rogue peripheral&

I can't, but that's largely because of what I attribute cold calls to: long wait times, poor connection quality, and a person on the other end who really doesn't know what they're doing or talking about; that's why

Most likely they mean that it only gets decrypted after going through a bastion-like host that's connected to both the internet and one of their intranets. A sneakernet would be an option but it's fairly unlikely

Telemarketing isn't inherently wrong, IMO, even though it's often poorly-executed and painfully annoying. In some cases, it's a better way of doing client outreach than email.

The pricing page seems... bizarre to me. - They mention that the tiers have 1, 5, or 10 users supported. Is this concurrent users? Does "user" even mean phone call recipient in this case, or is it just someone who's _dispatch

It probably helps that GCC was around when OS/2 and other now-archaic systems were relevant.

I think you're attributing too much weight to a comment moving up and down a thread without being made dead.

A different approach: you can distort the map underneath, similarly to those maps that scale regions as a function of population rather than actual geographic area.
