This is my point though. The US government claims they have jurisdiction when it suits them. Guccifer is still in the news and fresh on everyone’s mind. Personally it never made sense to me how one can be subject to some random foreign coun

Any web page can include content from any country. Country TLDs don’t correspond in any way to where the content is hosted, and for most people even using DNS-resolved URLs is advanced. However, mostly thanks to IPv4 exhaustion, not even IP

The great irony is the EU motto is literally “United in diversity” (In Varietate Concordia). Apparently what they really meant was “United > diversity.”

Did you at the time compare it with a JIT implementation like PyPy (for Python, not sure what would be the Ruby equivalent)?

If you don’t need a ‘full’ IDE there’s a lot of mental complexity you can avoid by going à la carte (editor+plugins). It’s easier to add features you care about than learn about a bunch of stuff you’ll never use. That’s very subjective, of

There’s no clear line that separates an editor from an IDE. Editor + language plugin is basically = IDE. There’s nothing magic about an IDE, it’s just a very, very, bloated editor.

You need to trust something at some point, be it TLS session and the server you’re talking with, or an SHA csum you verify with a friend (or using PGP’s WoT), and even further the process(es) and person(s) responsible for actually signing t

Transferring signed packages over TLS only prevents the attacker from observing which particular packages are being updated, and that’s assuming the padding alone is sufficient to obscure identification by size. Otherwise signing packages i

But it’s not `a b c`. Rather it’s something like `verb noun noun`. Which is much less ambiguous. In a language with currying semantics [(((a(b))(c))(d)] the only logical explicit syntax sugar would be LISP-like, so (v n n), (v (v2 n)). That

That’s sort of like SQL Alchemy Core works[1]. The ORM stuff is all built on top of that and completely optional. [1] http://docs.sqlalchemy.org/en/latest/core/tutorial.html

There’s usually a jumper you can set on the motherboard that controls whether you can reflash firmware. So you can burn Coreboot and set it back. Also if someone can flash your firmware your security (on the software or physical access side

Windows is just unsupported. It’s not “forbidden.” Coreboot has SeaBIOS and UEFI implementation as payloads that are os-independent. So Windows might work. Or not. You shouldn’t want to run Windows on a privacy sensitive workstation though.

Well, yeah, infinite resources are always the best DDoS solution ;) Valid requests ≠ clean traffic. That just moves the attack couple of layers up.

That’s a great point. Still leaves you open for a lot of abuse though.

Yes. This hasn’t been true for a long time. OVH runs a huge network and they invested in tools to mitigate and neutralize DDoS attacks[1]. Of course an attack can still saturate your servers’ NICs but they won’t drop you anymore. At their s

On AWS the DDoS hits the wallet instead. What’s the difference? It’s “denial of service,” not denial of server and network resources.
