Yet another direct-link post to a cryptic CVE for those of us who aren't in the know on security issues. Upvoting is a great shibboleth to show that some posters "get it", while the rest of us are left in the dark on severit

The problem with changing this one in particular is that it actually makes the author look more reasonable. I wonder if this would have nearly as many upvotes with the absurd headline it was actually written with.

The title of the original article should ALWAYS be a safe fallback, or perhaps even a requirement.

I think I accidentally down voted your post instead of up voted, being on mobile. Your point is so fundamental and profound. I hate to admit it, because it seems a bit defeatest, but far too many people ignore the role of the individual a

What a convoluted way of saying: "use frameworks and libraries, but not all the time." Yeah, we get it, some people use libraries too much. Some people reinvent the wheel too much. It's not too hard to understand that judg

Despite your glowing praise, I think this is actually an understatement. Every once in a while someone makes a point that is somehow simultaneously fresh and immediately obvious -- so obvious you can't believe you've never though

Yes, I had the privilege of having a basic computer with dialup as a kid. My family moved so I had no friends and was bullied constantly. For this reason, I became obsessed with the computer, learned to program, and ultimately it got me a

The problem is our politicians have a nasty habit of overplaying their hand on every. single. "scandal." It starts to sound like the boy who cried wolf. Every time a new one pops up, it's hard to tell whether it is of subst

You don't think losing $200m of someone else's money hits you like a ton of bricks? Being in the industry he is, I think he could handle a $50k personal loss. It wouldn't be fun, but it wouldn't be life-ruining. Presu

I know it's Marc Andreessen and I know it's a nit-pick, but did he never learn how to use a paragraph? Short, standalone sentences can be powerful to make a point, but they can be tiring when used every single paragraph.

Honestly, in the past I've wanted something like this when a co-worker was running a process that was outputting progress, and I didn't want to keep bugging them to see how far along it was. You could use it to check on something

I've tried this approach and haven't been successful. Mostly I just wanted to try ptrace. I got as far as trying to read the file descriptors and getting nothing back. I'd love to hear how to do it this way though, since it

It should work, but it'll slow down any process you're tracing. As you mentioned, screen works great for stuff that you have the foresight ahead of time to run in a screen session, such as a remote demo.

I think it's obvious what he means, and you're probably just being difficult. It's a joke because it's a threat 1) over something incredibly trivial, 2) over something that is never associated with death threats (i.e. co

Maybe within a small bubble of people who understand. I thought the idea was self-evident, but after working with people whose instinctive response to every problem is to throw code at it, I can assure you it is not.

The title of this piece should be "check out this cool trick I learned." Then it could have been a quarter the length and wouldn't have had to have been couched with all the motherly scolding.
