You may want to add a comparison to similar tools to your readme; there are quite a few.

I guess all I can do is say that 20 years of good behavior is enough to convince the state to release you for first degree murder, and most people seem to feel ok about that. I'd suggest that most people probably don't know their

Ironic that you should bring Equifax up since they would literally sell everything they had on you to anyone who could pay until Congress stomped on them with the FCRA. If you thought they were ever a good steward of your data you weren&#x2

Perhaps because such a torrent has not shown up in the last 20 years?

A team I used to work with closely had a process where if a development team didn't think an issue was important enough to fix and release the security team was encouraged to find other buyers for the vuln. It was actually a pretty gre

If you're unsupported it's both exhausting and pointless. If you're lightly supported, IMO it's generally better to fight the long fight for stronger support than to spend political capital on specific bugs or design fla

My phrase at a previous company was that "not every bug is a vulnerability, but every vulnerability is a bug". In that context our goal as a security team was to drive the total bug count to zero, both by helping to design systems

I'll get to what I meant in a moment, but first... I'm not sure what you think a security team should do, honestly. Security teams exist because your management has a cross-cutting concern and needs people to represent that concer

Security is about doubting what you're told, productively. Anyone who tells you otherwise should be doubted-- productively. If you build security tools, verify that they actually work. If you write exploits, doubt every correctness cla

This is supported today in compiler explorer ( https://godbolt.org , if you haven't played with it). Just choose a recent clang compiler and hit "add tool"->"LLVM mca".

Not a downvoter, but I can explain. Based on previous discussions I've had here, "don't say the true thing" is viewed more as an effort to manipulate than as a good faith attempt to improve the effectiveness of an outrea

I dropped a negative there: I would be surprised to find out the first was not the case.

Only inside of individual districts-- eg, a senate race is a statewide popular contest. There are no federal popular vote contests in the US (although there is some momentum towards reform in that regard). I'm not sure that the average

I want to agree with you, but I'm not sure I do. It's very clear that Walmart drives down wages among suppliers. Workers clearly don't earn a ton of money. But do shoppers benefit? And are employees worse off relative to th

I'm not sure where to go with this, honestly. From an electoral perspective it's counterfactual: my family in the midwest have roughly 1.5x the electoral power I do. Historically speaking this has led two democrats in my lifetime

by debatem1 7y ago
The point about both helping create the race to the bottom and also catering to those it leaves behind is, I think, an important and often overlooked one. It's why Walmart is beloved in many of the small southern towns where I grew up.

I recently moved from a job that was onsite, had a management component, and was nearly 100% human-oriented to one something like what you're asking about. I'm now fully remote with few close co-workers on an essentially self-driv

I'm confused. This is a compiler. The difference between distributing the output of this and a compiled C or C++ library is basically that this emits machine code that no sane C or C++ compiler would emit today. This does not prevent m

I do security for a living. Generally speaking, code that A) is obfuscated, B) is written in PHP, and C) I'm told won't have bugs... is exactly the code I'm probably going to need to file bugs against.

I'd love to see a real comparison of the two technologies under the Tesla workload, both for what it would say about the chips and what it would say about the workload. Having said that, an investor call isn't going to be that and

I worked at Google and frequently found myself acting in this capacity. I think I did well at it and was explicitly promoted for doing so. At the time I admired the way the company walked the walk in that regard.

Please don't do this. It's both ineffective and pisses off those of us who try to produce good bug reports when your obfuscated software misbehaves.

Just came off the job market recently and totally agree. The number of only-a-genuinely-dumb-person-would-take-this offers is staggering.

Seems like a call for what used to be called enlightened self interest-- the knowledge that "there but for the grace of God go I, or any man" can also be read as a call for a less punishing, more compassionate way of life.

This goes back much further. In the Vietnam war the US issued amphetamines to soldiers, and the British used it by the truckload during WWII.

Buyers agents owe a fiduciary duty to the buyer, not to the seller.

Sure; the point of paying them a percentage is to get their incentives to roughly align with yours. Short of giving them 100% you should expect that at some point that breaks down and they will figure the next optimization isn't worth

Agents getting paid a percentage of what their clients get isn't the concern here, and is generally considered good in the sense that the more they get for you (their client) the more they take home. The issue here is that the agents a

I wish we had a political version of Mr. Rogers. We need better role models for how to talk about politics in ways that are measured, reasonable, and respectful.
