"About the same time we were starting to work on Go, I read, or tried to read, the C++0x proposed standard and that was convincing to me." -- Ken Thompson Source -- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sln-gJaURzk

I strongly encourage self-taught developers to take a good theoretical algorithms class. In it, you'll learn to represent most problems as some sort of graph problem and map the problem at hand to nodes, edges, etc. and find the most e

Very neat project. I've thought about representing attacks as a graph problem before, but never dug into it. Thanks for making it open source!

Federal law prohibits funeral homes from not accepting caskets from another supplier, or charging more for services if you bring your own. FTC... The Funeral Rule. There are lots of other restrictions on the industry as well (due to past mi

If I lacked a formal CS education and wanted to understand more, I would focus on algorithms. They are the foundation of everything at the software layer. The two basic questions you will learn to answer: Is a certain solution to a prob

The policy person at head quarters said, "systems must encrypt sensitive data". The local security office classified passwords as 'sensitive data' and sent a memo to all staff (sensitive data must be encrypted at rest).

I agree. Group Think is bad in general. When no one is permitted to speak their mind and is encouraged to just go along with things, that's generally a bad environment.

I did not say it was related to memory corruption. I said Go would be much safer than C (and it would be). When you remove an entire class of bugs, you can focus on other things... such as sound logic. I love OpenBSD and use it a lot. But t

I really wish the OpenBSD team would consider rewriting some of these internet facing services in Go. It would be much safer than C.

Years ago, an OpenBSD developer told me, "threads are for idiots" in response to a bug I had submitted. At the time, I was a bit offended (it was a good, reproducible bug report), but today, I think he was right. They're just

Agree 100%. I know people who are domain experts but also very introverted. They don't blog, promote themselves or claim to know things that they don't. But, thankfully, they can and do post here on HN and that benefits us all.

The sad part about all of this is the complexity of the new solutions. Webauthn is strong but fiendishly complex. How did we get here? Websites used weak hashes (md5 and sha1... efficient to compute and attack) to store passwords and allowe

I agree. This is why rust and go don't need it. Address space randomization is an attempt by the OS to workaround language problems (specifically C). Nothing against C, I love it, but people really need to move away from it where possi
