   That's precisely the point that riles our tinfoil-hated friends: Heartbeat should be a simple matter of hi-ho's ad infinitum (ie: no or constant-space parameters). This is, of course, glossing over the fact that TLS over a TCP lin

   Having found no mention of TLS Lite in the last few discussions[0], I thought this TLS lib with just under 10.000 LoC (roughly 1/30 of OpenSSL's) deserves a bit of spotlight. Written by Trevor Perris of "Moxie Marlinspike and

   A fine, curated list. As with most meta-topical lists, there is virtually no profit in browsing through it. Time may be wasted a-plenty, though. Bring a question about technology X with you, go straight to section X and then consult with

   As with all things: necessity dictates, curiosity nudges. If you come without baggage (project idea, interest in FP, what-have-you), you'll need to come back later.

   I am a bit reluctant to repeat myself, but I can't see any mentioning of the sheer volume of code. It's more than 300.000 lines of code in the .c files of the official tarball. My experience with code grown beyond >10⁵ LoC i

   Thanks! So how does this work: Say I have this project and I want it audited -- would you (or the company/person that you had in mind) give me an estimate like "I'd need 3 weeks for 25, 5 weeks for 50 or 10 weeks for 95% co

   Over 300.000 LoC: ~/tmp/openssl-1.0.1g $ find . -name "*.c" | xargs wc -l | tail -n1 349834 total This is too much by at least one order of magnitude. What's the going price for a crypto-level code

    Also, we're possibly one step nearer to Plan9's portable /bin concept (where each user overlays her binaries with those provided by the system).

    This should've been in my never-ending history: $ tex -v | head -n1 | awk '{print $2}' 3.1415926 but it wasn't (I distinctly remember using this line to prove a point a few months ago).

    Yes, as in that case * the survival of OP's labour is more likely; and * one might use something like `eg`[0] to directly jump to the 'Examples' section. [0] I gave a possible implementation below ( https://news.yco

    Elsewhere[0] I mentioned a shell alias called `eg` that jumps to the 'Examples' section in traditional man-pages. I made great use of it with the excellently structured yet rather verbose git man-pages. Anyways, here's the al

    I humbly submit an implementation of `eg`. It solves the technical problem discussed here for a selection of programms (notably git!): alias eg='man --pager='\''less -p "^[A-Z]* ?EXAMPLES"'\'
