I purchased the second edition some months ago and seem to remember the airmail taking only about a week to get to the US.

Lesson 1 sources on the hdd This might sound simple but in a long time I didn't feel so connected to my OS. Having the sources for every piece of software I use around made things really different. How? I'm actuall

You can install updates via downloading the updating and flashing. This isn't too difficult (basically what you have to do if you run a ROM). It's often how people opt-in to updates that are rolling OTA before their device wins th

I wonder what the payoff is for running a script to secure the CentOS box you just rooted versus leaving it open to additional attacks. On one hand, you have potential loss of your work due to disruption of services leading to someone notic

I did work on an Acer C7 ($200 with about $200 worth of SSD+Memory and a $100 23" LCD when I was home, total cost $500) with Ubuntu for about half a year. I initially bought the machine to travel with, and it became a workstation when

How many of those 12 year olds tune you out in that half of an hour? I guarantee that if it took me a half hour of professional instruction, I would not have been programming at 12 years old (I was, in Python).

Regarding an IT worker making this mistake. The delta of one mistake separates a good opsec plan from one functionally identical to nothing. Even people who have a pretty good idea of what it takes to pull off opsec on the google-searchable

Personal anecdote here, but I don't look like I belong in the loop for anything other than begging. I'm an overweight white male with long, typically unkempt hair, an untrimmed beard, and a pair of shoes that are dirty and have an

It seems like a bad strategic decision to try to build a CDN on top of a platform that already offers a CDN while expecting to be cheaper than their economy-of-scale-driven CDN. Not to say that you couldn't build a CDN on AWS, but if y

There is nothing implicit about that. You are instantiating an anonymous class (that's the reify) implementing 3 interfaces (presumably you looked these up since they're user libraries) that you are defining inline. Compare this t

Reading the article, I can't help but think of this: http://www.paulgraham.com/submarine.html . Reads too much like a Google marketing response to an Amazon announcement.

8-14 months for bugfixes to what exactly? All the serious packages you use in most servers are installed via packages/ports. What's actually in the base system that isn't (a) also in ports or (b) needs upgrades more frequent

That doesn't do anything. Large corporations don't have to distribute your software for internal usage. It can reach hundreds of thousands of employees and still be internal.

Requesting an image of a paranoid person's server isn't necessarily that great. When I worked for a run-of-the-mill cybersecurity firm, our simulator products were protected with full disk encryption using run-of-the-mill open-sou

It might be interesting down the line to see if I couldn't target pixie using something like cljx (or actual feature expressions if they ever land in a mainline clojure release). This wouldn't necessarily require any effort on the

Submitter here, I went with name of project + github title rather than editorialize.

How does friendface show your cartoon elephant before you enter your username? (hint: it won't) The way this works looking at banking websites is that the user enters a username. Then they get some secret image + description that they

Clojure sorta runs on it. It has various issues, but is usable. It's nice having a repl into your phone.

To be fair, the ultra wealthy were already safe. It's pretty easy to avoid sick people (particularly sick people spewing blood) when you can just hang out on your island or on a large estate.

Clojure (and ClojureScript) have stand alone compilers and ship very nice APIs to compile code (if you want to write your own compiler). People use lein (and its plugins) because mucking around with a compiler and then managing dependencies

I can think of a couple examples where hashing passwords directly contributes to leaking information recoverable by examining timing (e.g. enumerating django privilege status for a site's users). Edit: not to say that you should store

IIRC, Aldi's cashiers in the US were (are?) paid extremely well for a cashier. My mom mentioned to me (around 10 years ago) that the positions were infrequently open and competitive because they were paying close to $15 an hour. Of cou
