Pen-tests show the presence if vulnerabilities, not their absence. To make secure systems, we need to take the (very) difficult road of working our systems bottom up and proving the absence of vulnerabilities and defining the boundaries of

It's great at unit conversions. You can do things like "number of milliseconds between amsterdam and paris at speed of sound". I use it all the time.

I'm a non-native speaker. I'm guessing you're saying the adjective is dated and reading it again it does sound like that. Still, i was trying to say 'faster than the usual fast' Exorbitantly fast? Snappy responsive?

Wow, I love all these features! You're not saying it: 10. Has open-source implementations, 11. Allows HTML formatting, 12. Has a hierarchy of topics, splitting up topics in a generic way, 13. Is blazingly fast, 14. AND allows referenci

Well, I can think of a couple of reasons why the OP thought it is stupid now: - He understands the article is preaching to the choir. - He thinks the article does not take into account the total flow of capital. His better understanding of

But it doesn't add any depth to the discussion. I'm sure everyone has specific positions on how the article makes them feel. However, HN is about getting to know different standpoints which have a certain amount of profundity to i

Empty statement. Back up why you thought they were loveable and what makes them stupid now.

Here we are, 33 years after PostScript was created and now the answer to "education" is plain text... Shouldn't we, as tech sector, feel ashamed for even thinking this might be a good idea?

Where I come from, our tables go towards a billion rows, so there's copying of keys regardless of whether it's uuid or sequential id.

I've programmed Scala professionally for the last 4 years. The compiler used to be rather slow, but nowadays, it is fast enough for my taste. Just be careful with the cake-pattern, which slows down compilation substantially. Also, I no

For a fair comparison, Grafana should have been with combined with InfluxDB, which is sort of the default configuration. I've been using Grafana / InfluxDB for a personal domotica project. Given that I run it on cheap virtualised

I don't want to deregulate everything, especially not all security regulations on cars. What is needed is removing distance between regulators and users. Would you rather buy a locked down laptop which is factory protected against viru

Simple solutions: buy sensors to detect emissions or regularly check your car yourself. Spend money on experts, optionally working together with other owners of similar brand (community). Insist on buying models with open software. The poin

An interesting twist to this would be to change liability. Make the driver liable (not the manufacturer) for driving a car breaking the emission standards. This will set in motion the following steps: - Car users will be offered insurance a

I don't understand. Why would people not just change their passwords by someone they know, travel, plausibly deny kniwlege of the password, and call the relative to unlock once crossed the border?

As opposed to others, I would like to agree with you. One can make design decisions which allow for maintenance over a very long, or indefinite period. This would require using formal methods and a different hardware architecture. Unfortuna

Although it's been a long time since I last did perl programming, it has always been my understanding that perl is particularly well designed for piping and mangling input and output from binaries. It's been the successor of awk,

I'm guessing the purpose is to get a feel for possibilities within the space of programming languages. A tool to get the mind thinking outside of the usual IDE-box.

The thing I get from this article is that, after a plant has been cost cut until total inefficiency, the thing to do is ask your managers what was taken from them to do their job normally, and giving it to them. Afterwards, you take the cre

During careful A/B testing, this site-modification has proven to increase the 'subscribe'-click ratio from 0.002% to 80% Which self-conscious mid-manager would say no to that?

Yes, I understand how the FLAC codec works. My comment was pointing out that FLAC can either represent the codec or the binary and that in neither case one can say that FLAC is bit-to-bit identical, since in the former case you're refe

Yes, you got the pun, bravo, 2 geek-points for you. However, you lose 20 geek-points because FLAC and wav are not bit-to-bit identical. They are both lossless encodings and correct implementations will preserve the input material bit-to-b

For me the best parts would include: - Type inference - Everything is an object (no more primitives) - no obligatory ';' as a statement separator - Type-classes - Scoped import statements At which point we're actually recreat
