I think this could be workable, but it probably depends a lot on context. One reason off the top of my head would be regulatory/compliance issues around how things are encrypted. wireguard is relatively new, and some certifications req

I love seeing new implementations of popular languages. Curious: Did implementing this in Rust expose any bad or interesting behavior when replicating the Erlang language spec ( https://github.com/erlang/spec ) or whatev

Security guy here. I'd argue that SSL and ACL are always good things to have, especially for systems that store data. Modern security practices typically dictate a defense-in-depth approach. The ideas is that you will be compromised

AA is also pretty well known for having very mixed success rates [1]. I believe the truth of the matter is people form addictions for a wide variety of social, psychological, and physiological reasons. 12 step programs work for about 40% of

There's typically a retention period. I'm not clear on what that retention period would be for aeronautics, but 3 months to a year isn't unusual in fintech.

Then it should not surprise you to know that phishing attempts have spiked in recent months. The pandemic has sewn much chaos, and bad actors are taking advantage. :( What really concerns me is that these phishing attempts are just the atta

The question is fair. Capability does not guarantee legality, and there are plenty of cases where an individual who can access an email is not legally entitled to: 1. My ISP provides me internet access, but they are not entitled to collect

Ownership of the email address/account is important. If you're using a corporate account, communicating on behalf of your employer, and have been informed ahead of time that all emails from said account are monitored, I don't

Nice to see the classic getting some modern graphics. I love text based games, but something as complex as DF really benefits from graphics that can make it easier to determine what is going on on the screen.

You are absolutely correct on the point of the C ABI. It's definitely the systems lingua franca. Just finished reading the Zig cc article and I must say I'm also quite impressed. I'll be keeping an eye on the next Zig release

IMO the marketing as Rust as a C/C++ replacement is a bit misplaced. I think it's more accurate to consider it an alternative systems language. The tools/languages used in this space are a bit broader than C-family language

Fantastic breakdown on the recent history of censorship in China, thanks for sharing it. You mentioned that for many of these efforts bypassing censorship trumped secrecy concerns. Is this still the case? If I were a citizen regularly bypas

Security guy here. I work in finance, but the calculus around how you look at risk doesn’t change much from industry to industry, what changes is risk tolerance. Fact of the matter is that some things you don’t ever want remotely accessible

I'd also recommend Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead for a good post-apocalyptic/zombie themed rougelike. https://github.com/CleverRaven/Cataclysm-DDA/

I'd still be concerned about further mutation. With something as virulent as HCoV-19, even a minor increase in morbidity rates could be catastrophic. Even without high morbidity rates, a survival rate of 85% without treatment is still

I agree that housing density is an issue. However, universities are likely to be subject to lawsuits in situations where they keep dorms open or shut them down. There must be something that can be done here that's better than those two

This is a very good point that deserves discussion. That said, this isn't an either-or situation. Universities could easily arrange temporary off-campus housing for students displaced by the crisis.

It changes over time with new hires and attrition, but by my last count somewhere between 30 and 40 in the SF regional office. There are more in other regions, but I'm unsure as to the total number.

The company I currently work at, FundingCircle, hosts the SF Clojure meetup and uses Clojure for a number of accounting systems. I’m not a huge fan of the language myself, but it does have it’s strengths.

I can’t speak to friendships of 70 years, but I have a number of friends I’ve known for the better part of 10 to 15 years. I find there’s a few things that help foster these kinds of relationships: 1. You genuinely like each other. 2. The r

I think this really depends on the job and industry. AWS certs, for example, while not generally sought after, are generally positively viewed for companies that are trying to fill out devops and/or cloud security teams.

Politics. Money. Expediency. The cheaper and easier you make it to do something, the easier it is for you to get signoff to do it. Humans require oversight and care. A robot staking out an area? Not nearly as much, and folks don't get
