   I can't shake the feeling that current security measures are designed in the wrong way. Antiviruses are fundamentally flawed (blacklist instead of whitelist; mostly curing instead of preventing). Filtering traffic is difficult (it is r

   I think Hanlon's razor applies here ("Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.") - when startups fail it is difficult to fail gracefully. It leaves you with lots of stuff to do, all the time

   Interesting addition to the plugin: check admin login credentials with the passwords on the list. If found, notify the admin and disable his account until he resets the password to something better. Of course, you would have to accumulate t

   Automated? Not sure they can tell nefarious from normal traffic. I would expect they would block the offender very quickly if notified though.

   That's incredibly entertaining and educational read! One of the best lately. What is interesting is that "low security" of the flashing process won't hurt their sales - I would expect the opposite to happen. Free publici

    In my experience companies just use other code or develop their own, so the original developer doesn't benefit directly anyway. So it doesn't matter which license he chooses. One could argue that making a successful open source pr

    I think these are two separate issues: 1) Go is moving from Google Code to Github 2) Go is moving from Mercurial to Git To echo another user in the thread: "am I the only one who prefers Mercurial to Git?" In my view Merc

    Hmmm. Wouldn't trying to remain anonymous be better? I mean, if most of the people on Tor are not anonymous (because they "disclose" themselves voluntarily), the rest of them might be in the spotlight...

    I am not a parent, but from UX perspective I think you just got a feedback which says the action is either too hidden or not useful enough. :) (it's a single complaint, though)

    For this case, could one just introduce another mod operation which produces result + 1? In this case: ($i + 1) % $safeLen Even so, I guess the only way to eliminate timing attacks would be to write a set of primitive operations (X

    Looks nice! That said, SQL in this case is just a way to look at data. Given that most network devices (and printers and UPSs and ...) in existence use SNMP, it would be nice to have an (SQL?) engine which would query devices via SNMP in ba

    How stable is Rust these days? I am watching it from a distance (I have no suitable project ATM) and I had the impression that the syntax went through some major changes not too long ago (a year?). Is this a thing of the past now?

    I think the article misses the point. It doesn't matter if the package manager is CLI or GUI-based, what matters is good UI and quality (+ price) of application packages. Mobile stores (Google Play, Apple Store) are a good example of t

    This is actually a great advice - but not all operations can be made idempotent. Adding and substracting money from bank accounts comes to mind (although you can make the operation "write transaction to some log" idempotent, you c

    Care to elaborate? AFAIK this bug is about remote execution, not about privilege escalation. The reason is that the shell would be run with the same privileges as the user who is setting the ENV variables, and only privileged users should b
