I call bullshit. This crap can and will happen in unfortunate times such as opening a laptop for presentation, also note that shutting down a computer with lowish battery with update pending is a death sentence until you reach a charger, be

Just like beginner developers who never sanitize their input, there are also people who never validate their inputs. Just like exploitation of programs, there are people who exploit the behavior of other people, giving them input when what

Talking about substitution like food is some thing that you just pick the 'best' possible at any moment and just eat that. You don't want to eat the same thing over and over again, there are infinite number of recipes based o

I don't think they correctly realized the meaning of these blunders, most games are skilled-vs-skilled or amateur-vs-amateur, and for every blunder a skilled person makes there was a trap another skilled player placed. The way I see it

I'm not the documenting type at all, but I do have a habit I developed of writing my current "state of mind" before the weekend, so that I'd remember where I left off at the start of the week. I usually remember my ideas

Am I the only one here which hates smoking neighbors? Cigarettes, wood, I'd rather live next to a drummer than next to a smoker any day. I can't possibly stand the stench of smoke, and just now I moved apartment only because of sm

Funny when you hear this and then you hear all the complaints from people who think cryptocurrencies waste energy. It's almost as if there's always someone who will look at one half of the picture that is pessimistic for him.

What is curious is that it seems like there's a growing consensus with everyone with a real clue about it that this is a bubble, while the price keeps rising anyway. We're already past the point where bitcoin could have any value

The question should be, what should happen so that it stabilizes. If Bitcoin and cryptocurrency marker were to stabilize, the competition between different cryptocurrencies should mean the trade off between their different features will be

I don't agree with all the "growth" and "fixed" categorization. Intelligence is fixed, that's pretty much a fact (see all research about IQ etc.). What isn't fixed is your state and knowledge in the proces

I don't get why regulation is needed. The whole thing is by definition very high risk investment, and I think it'd be silly for any "scam-victim" to claim he didn't know he's entering a high risk, and also high

The main issue is fraud detection. Having many different bills would confuse people, and you'd have hard time explaining which part of the bill you need to check and which part you don't. You're going to have the equivalent o

This will be abused by trolls more than used by the "good guys". It's just a matter of time before some trolls decide to use this feature to create more lies about elections, hitler, holocaust, immigrants, and every conspirac

Just a comment on the gameplay, the characters are moving way too fast for the size of the screen, the whole game is just too unstable and random.

There was no RFC for localhost yet?! That's pretty surprising... That this RFC have any practical meaning? People didn't actually register localhost. domain, did they? Is there an actual line of code that this should change? Are t

Registration forms should be standardized. I want to have my "real" details, and my "fake" details ready to be entered into websites that want yet another registration. Why does every single website implement their own r

The finite states argument feels kind of wrong. You're usually interested in the general behavior for n people, and the number of states is exponential in n, which means that you need time exponential in n to repeat yourself. What you&

I tend to think of overengineering of a team member as the mistake of the team leader, unless you're really hiring a solo developer then you'd better pick an experienced one. If you communicate your priorities properly, you put re

Are there actually experienced developers who still overengineer? I always thought of that as something that happens from the lack of experience. Straight from university developers, or people who never worked with a team before tend to do

I would've expected at least an example assembly code reproducing the bug? How was it not discovered before, but only with the OCaml compiler? They say "unexpected behavior", does this mean that code compiled with this can gi

I'm very surprised. I was sure -fstack-check was on by default. The fact that it isn't secure without it is known for years. Windows compilers have had that check for years. The bug isn't in any executables, gcc and all other

The real issue on putting backdoors, the way I see it, is that once you gave one government an access, you've already set a precedence and you can now be compelled by other governments to do the same. Giving other governments backdoors

by age_bronze 9y ago
Also, when you don't fight the real issue, which is that we shouldn't want backdoors in the first place, all those agencies can offer their backdoor to the decision makers (maybe it even happened with DUAL_EC - who knows? maybe al

This propaganda about good guys backdoors being impossible again. This is cryptographic bullshit of the highest degree. We've had the DUAL_EC scandal, for once, as an example of NSA backdoor which as far as was proved, only the NSA cou
