The CISO role is too often just a game of roulette. The big question is whether the CISO is actually able to effect changes that have material impact on their own fate, by improving security posture. If not, then the CISO is merely compensa

This "UpdateCheckThread" code looks pretty funky, [0]. It downloads some stuff from a URL, writes a file to disk, and creates a process to run it. 0: https://github.com/dbgsymbol/getsymbol/blob/cb4bd

The fast algorithm is less accurate in the least significant bits. In zX41ZdbW's first link above, there's a code comment that includes the exact count of numbers grouped by how inaccurate the results were.

This was exactly my use case for building gut, https://github.com/tillberg/gut . It's a daemon that wraps git, auto-committing changes for a tree and bidirectionally syncing them between N computers. The wrapped gi

One reason this could be messy to add is that the S3 API includes support for reading arbitrary byte ranges within a file. There's an inherent conflict between that API and support for transparent compression. Compression performs best

I'm new to Zig this year, and I'll share my own learning experience. ziglang.org's overview[0] says, "Zig functions avoid colors." I interpreted that as similar to Go's lack of function colors. Given the rest o

Indeed, though is there any protected status in the US for "people that make use of the court system" that would bar such discrimination? As a landlord, legal costs will eat into your margins real fast. The landlord uses this serv

I've heard of (clever? sociopath?) executives that would do this periodically to get fresh perspectives at a cost of zero dollars. They had no intention of hiring any of the candidates.

I would like to upvote this 1000 times to underline "pretty sturdy box." It can be a particularly amusing exercise to do the math for things like this, calculate the gravitational forces involved, and compare the results to e.g. t

I find that the phrasing of the Monty Hall problem makes the solution less certain than stated. > "You pick a door, say #1, and the host, who knows what’s behind the doors, opens another door, say #3, which has a goat." That&#x

What do you mean by "problematic" here? Is it like "sin?" Or maybe "shameful?" How should I read that?

Yes, I downvoted your comment. I don't doubt your intentions are admirable, but please don't shame strangers. GP is trying to survive in the world in which they find themselves. Will sniping some guilt at them summon up some hidde

It's actually less "real" than Bitcoin. I haven't read the Fortnite TOS, but game companies always grant themselves unilateral permission to create/destroy in-game items/etc whenever they please.

When writing quick-and-dirty Go programs, I define a function called "bailif" (pun intended) that turns non-nil errors into panics. i.e. `func bailif() { if err != nil { panic(err) } }`. Each error can be "handled" at fi

One time years ago, I was driving on a four-lane highway when I observed a plastic bag flapping around the road ahead of me. Other cars were slowing or swerving to avoid it, which I thought was peculiar, so I also slowed a little bit but (a
