One could say that meadow is not a very common natural state for Europe. Historically it was mostly forest and wetlands... You have figures about what those meadow area are replaced with? As for the cause, it may be because of the end of EU

Drone is way too generic of a term. Do you know of any military application of a multicopter?

I'm updating one year old Rust code currently, it's pretty obvious a tremendous amount of work has gone toward making it a more usable language. Yet it is not a small one, so some effort to master it is to be expected...

The actual standard : http://www.etsi.org/deliver/etsi_gs/osg/001_099/001/01.01.01... There are only 3 pages on security (plus annexes). There is the broken MAC, but the cipher standardized is actua

They should definitely have talked about https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernstein_v._United_States and the PGP case. ITAR was the regulation used then too.

The pod contain a germinated seed, aka a baby tree, presumably a lot more fragile than a seed. The whole point of the invention is that they get more trees that way than dropping seed from planes...

You missed the part about them being dropped from 3m high, while the drone is presumably stationary? There is no reason to believe the tree pod could survive a harsher impact... So planes are out, the helicopters too (can't get that lo

Yeah and they have TCO, which C doesn't. It's not recursion that is bad, it's unchecked stack growth, in environments where beancounters made sure the hardware is adequate but not more...

MISRA-C is practical enough that NASA's JPL used it as a basis for their coding standard ( http://lars-lab.jpl.nasa.gov/JPL_Coding_Standard_C.pdf ), and everyone would agree those Martian robot works pretty well...

Considering file is supposed to be invoked on unknown files, I fail to see how tests other than fuzzing would give any assurance security wise. A very anal code review on the other hand... And the OpenBSD people are very aware of fuzzing, t

In the "waging war on drugs" America, isn't buying one of those a recipe for a no knock SWAT raid on suspicion of growing something inedible?

You can usually get PGP signed hashes for tarballs distributed by serious entities. If someone is distributing software and provides no way to check that it is genuine, you shouldn't run it...

For people that are actually very bright in France, education is not only free but they are actually paid for it. The greatest French hackers like Jean-loup Gailly (zlib) and Fabrice Bellard (ffmpeg, QEmu and much more) actually went to Pol

It's not. It's pretty informative on patent trolls, with people like the Rackspace general counsel being interviewed and calling it an extortion game.

Why do you single out Mozilla? Trustwave is still trusted by Microsoft and Google too... IIRC, it's that event that led to a policy revision, what they did at the time (and by they I mean everyone, Mozilla included) was applying their

Then you're likely in the top 10 experts of the field ;) The fact that OpenSSL did it wrong for 15 years doesn't bode well for the myriads of TLS implementations that are around. My experience with the x509 part of SSL/TLS st

I wonder about the downvotes, with the long documented history of software failing to properly validate certificate chains (or worse, trees). See for example http://blog.codekills.net/2012/04/08/adventures-in-
