For context, Ontario has no natural resources. We have always been an export economy. With globalization and automation, manufacturing is mostly gone, and it's creating social problems. We have a fundamentally different view of the rol

Xen is worse than Linux in terms of quality, and therefore security. That Linux is much bigger doesn't make Xen any better. What de Raadt means to say is, generally speaking, you can't build security on top of bad code. No amount

Beautiful! So the dot pattern here is "face centered cubic," right? Would you get a better density with a "hexagonal close-packed" pattern? It may make a difference visually. I would love to see a comparison. https:&#x2

This is such a self-inflicted problem. Europe could decide to open their borders, and they would be fine. The US deals with much larger migrations every year. Or they could decide to close the borders, and they would be fine too. Instead th

This is how we got sound to play on the TI graphing calculators. It sounded bad and drained the batteries but it was fun. Another fun thing was getting grayscale graphics on those screens. They had only black and white pixels but flipping t

That's an important difference. Christians believe good is from God and evil is from Satan. (Forgive me if I'm mistaken, I know that's a gross oversimplification.) Muslims believe good and evil are both creations of God. So m

Venture capitalists are interested in a particular kind of person who can provide them with a quick profit: young people who are naive enough to prioritize business over their own life. If you are willing to spend a few years sleeping under

Thank goodness. Knowing NSA spies on Iranian drones, my civil liberties have been restored.

The bug is in the compiler, not OpenSSH. The OpenSSH developers explicitly erased memory with memset. GCC decided to remove those lines without any warning. There's the bug. (Here come the language lawyers...) What's the differenc

I don't think they valued Tor specifically. They did value scientific research, which is what Tor was at the time. Like most research work, it got dropped once they had a working proof of concept. The State Department picked it up year

Canadian companies doing business with foreign governments get help from the Canadian Commercial Corporation and probably consular personnel too. The Canadian government is very much involved.

I use Frama-C without the GUI. The annotations do take some effort, but once you get it, it's very intuitive. Start with adding assertions, for example checking that array indices don't go out of bound. Then start with simple func

I don't like the typical definition-theorem-proof approach of most textbook in mathematics, including these. It's great for a classroom, no good for self-study. As an alternative, I highly recommend A Book of Abstract Algebra by

He said on Twitter that police beat him up once, and then a second time after following him home. I hope there is a real investigation, this is enraging.

I don't think it was Anonymous. During the operation against ISIS on social media, Anonymous tried to DOS one of the ISIS propaganda websites (Isdarat). They couldn't muster more than a few Mbps. This attack on Turkey is an exampl

It exists. It's called CompCert. https://github.com/AbsInt/CompCert It's free for non-commercial use. I've used it for several months now to build things like Tor. I haven't noticed any disadvantage

It's a good question. But I think the contents of their users' communications are less important for their revenues than the metadata.

Do you mean something like "compound assignment operators"? Apparently you can define custom operators like: func += (inout left: Vector2D, right: Vector2D) { left = left + right } https://developer

Even if I don't use Waterfox, I'm glad it exists. Browsers are very close to including DRM content and advertisements. When that happens I don't want to be stuck without an alternative. Thank you (if the developer is reading)
