I don't miss IRC much -- I actually miss the paragraphs-level chat systems with lightweight categories, like MIT Zephyr and Gale. They really encouraged deeper thought, in the way that an HN comment is often deeper than an IRC one, jus

Handshake's a new blockchain based DNS replacement, and auctions are the way people buy domain names (actually domain TLDs) on it.

How cool! Sorry to ask an unrelated question: I saw something about how people shouldn't perform airdrop claims on Handshake mainnet yet because transfers are still disabled, is that still true?

This is such a bad idea that I think it was already a mistake to post it to HN without using a throwaway account -- even if it is not a real-life inspired post, your manager doesn't know that. I would delete the post. The main reason

No, people use it to scan entire LANs from the outside, untargeted exploration.

by cjbprime 7y ago
Probably because things would break in subtle and confusing ways if they did. E.g. you have a build server and chose to use live DNS to point at it artifacts on an internal network because it was simpler to just edit a single zone file.

It seems bad form to declare something is dead when you didn't work on it directly, and other people clearly are working on it as evidenced by the latest version of the spec being less than two months old. I don't know whether Web

It looks like they're saying that they'll switch to 1.0 when Linux 5.6 is released in a few weeks.

They're sent to the telnet target, so that you can do those things on the remote machine.

If nothing else, it's worse in that there's zero vaccination mitigation available. If the flu vaccine was 0% effective this year, that would also be a health emergency. On top of that, it seems to have worse mortality rate, transm

Same at mine. I can see how optimizations like this at least make the most sense at a pediatrician's office, where you're likely to be holding a cranky baby in one arm as you try to check in.

Pick a project with an "easy" or "first bug" tag on their issues. If you get stuck, just ask for help. The nice thing about the tag is that it's a demonstration of interest in helping people get started.

That doesn't sound right -- I mean, it might be true that there was a clear spot nearby, but it's not a good summary of the weather that morning. It was a blanket coastal fog that grounded the LAPD choppers and canceled many flig

Neat! I hear it's becoming more common to use non-random mutations. Are people using something other than AFL for those, or is there a way to bolt that on to AFL?

Neat. Would be interested to see a quick video/GIF tour.

I think you might be confused about "bats being eaten". A theory on SARS is that it was spread by bats eating fruit, leaving guano on it, civets eat the guano-laced fruit, people eat the civets. Just because bats are an importan

The tons produced by aviation are produced in higher concentration in air, and produced nearer to the atmosphere at high altitude, making them more dangerous than the tons produced by human breathing. You can't just compare the total.

That doesn't sound right. I don't think they had much success. The presentation seemed largely resigned. Every dark web arrest I've seen has been caused by terrible operational security (e.g. having a Gmail account traceable

I don't agree that countries are likely to disconnect themselves from the global Internet. It's economically suicidal. It's the sort of thing they might do only for 24 hours during a popular uprising. Even then, it's
