Best place? Surely not. They are not cyberpunk. Try Pat Cadigan instead. Then Gibson. Then Sterling or Effinger.

That's not at all what I wrote though. You can very well write something without really knowing it. In fact it's more than obvious that the majority of code written these days falls under that category. Programming is hard and it

AV was always a snakeoil business that always produced low quality products which worked against security by increasing the attack surface and offering low-barrier-to-entry ways to remote code execution.

This is not correct in my experience. I think it's more apt to say that security effort has mostly been spent around sandboxing and related technologies which is really an admission that there is no way to secure the JS VMs in themselv

If you haven't spent substantial amounts of time (personal estimate > 10 years) working with C++ writing production code , you certainly don't know C++. Even if you did all that, odds are that you still don't know C++.

This is pretty much a light Python wrapper around ndpi [1] a C library that contains all the dissectors and protocol support. Probably a very bad idea to use a C library with hand-written parsers for that. [1] https://www.ntop.or

Most serious Lisp programmers write mutable code. Common Lisp is multi-paradigm but most code written has side-effects. And that’s for a good reason: Clojure-style immutable programming doesn’t fit most problems very well. Which is why Cloj

Many lisp fans do in fact use Common Lisp. Freenode #lisp, the term Lisp, Reddit lisp all primarily refer to and are about Common Lisp. Additionally, there are many Lisp old timers that do not consider Clojure a Lisp.

Don’t waste years of your life living in that dump of a city. If you can, get out. Europe is big and there are cities where quality of life is great. Groningen, Skien/Telemark, Turku, Warsaw, Prague...

It is his usual inflated post that manages to say very little with walls and walls of text. I don’t see what folks find valuable in his writing. On top of that I find his recommendations to be bad since better alternatives exist but they ob

Your example isn’t tied to static typing, it is simply but behind-the-scenes checking types at runtime. You can do that in any good dynamically typed language (e.g Common Lisp) and hide it in a similar way. Closure has definite problems tha

Facebook stock (recently sold all of it) made me a millionaire. I think FB-the-company is a scourge and wish it good riddance but it was more than obvious years ago that there was a lot of value there for stock speculation. I've lost t

I wouldn't describe the results you show in the photos as "worked really really well". The traces are uneven and full of holes and discontinuities. To me that's completely unacceptable. I'd throw them in the garbage

I find these sort of articles incredibly short-sighted and little more than a reminiscing of the "good old times". Those times are not coming back. The last sentence is particularly comical in its detachment from reality. In the a

Python with asyncio and multithreading doesn't take good advantage of multiple cores due to the global interpreter lock. With multiprocessing, one pays big costs in IPC. Python is not at all suitable today for parallelism. Which is one

Yes, and most of that thread is posts full of noise and faulty suggestions that add nothing to the discussion but serve to dilute the original post and the few posts with relevant information. Which is why I seldom bother with discussions.a

For backups, you can simply use rsync. No reason for proprietary solutions when rock-solid opensource alternatives exist.
