I used Datalog a good deal in grad school (CS). It was frustrating at first, but once I figured it out, I liked it a lot. If you've never tried a declarative programming language, you should give Datalog a try.

I think that is a valid point. If the noise becomes too much, I would take it down.

Yes, it's not as widely implemented as I expected. Adoption seems to drop quickly. Roughly 20% for the top 10 websites, 15% for the top 100 and about 10% for the top 1,000. It's downhill from there.

Looking at the titles of some of the videos, it seemed to be more about how to pirate commercial software than security. I think YouTube probably did the right thing. https://codeofhacking.blogspot.com/2018/01/burp

I believe this is why it's important to have your own domain name, so you can have your own website with content you create and control. If you just want to make funny cat videos (or something similar) then YouTube is probably not a ba

I sort of agree with this. I run hugo locally and have a simple bash script that generates the html, removes the remote public html files (via ssh) and scps the new html files to the web server. Kind of old school, and causes about a minute

I started a blog too and felt the same way as you do. I tried WordPress because it's so popular, but I could not use it. I like Go, so I thought I would try hugo and I absolutely love it. It's fast, secure and can be hosted for pe

DNS and IP blocks are like hitting a tiny finishing nail with a 10 pound hammer. Sure, you smash it, but you smash everything around it too. Try Squid. It's a dynamic higher layer HTTP/web proxy that can block specific URL content

With DPG, you don't have to use the same sentence for each generated password. It makes it easier and more user friendly, but it's not required. I could easily have two or three sentences and still be able to recall 400 or so uniq

I wrote a program to generate passwords based on user input about 10 years ago. I still use it today and a few teams I have worked with still use it. I called it DPG. Deterministic Password Generator. It is a similar concept. I have impleme

JSON is so slow and inefficient. All that marshaling and unmarshaling is crazy. Binary formats will rise again. This comment says it best I think, "On the other hand, if you only need 53 bits of your 64 bit numbers, and enjoy blowing

If half the people who get covid-19 have no (or very minor) symptoms, does that mean the number infected is at least twice the reported number... 500K per day in the US (since these people won't need to go for a test)? It seems reasona

The really sad part about this is that Microsoft was the systems programming startup. Their software engineers changed the world. Of course, that was 40+ years ago, but it's sad to see them turn away from their technical roots.
