Because unfortunately many, many libraries and templating engines rely on evaling code. Generated code is code that's outside of the package. There are also a few (keyword: FEW) valid reasons for using eval in situations where it'

I would say it is accurate. I doubt most users really think it through, and Apple went out of their way to enforce the idea that Macs don't get viruses in their advertising campaigns around 2010 to 2012. Most users just don't thi

It's not lucrative enough. The product is worth far more than the measly bounty. Sure, claim that 15 dollars in bitcoin, and never receive another pre-release copy again, or... strip it and continue business as usual. This model re

But the price you pay for removing those middle men is forcing the network to perform a truly astounding amount of computational work to verify the same transactions. There's an efficiency trade-off here, and I think for at least many

No one is ignoring it... The whole freaking article is about companies paying specialists to see how secure their farms are. My issue is that the article glides past the "physical access" part to focus on the "scary cyber wea

You're skipping the whole damn point: physical access was required. At that point, there ain't shit you can do to stop an attacker with software based security. A human being, sitting in front of the hardware, is going to win. Al

While I understand where you're coming from, and I agree with you to some extent, it's not really that simple. While the majority of exploits we currently see in the wild are things I think the "defective lock" analogy w

I agree, the issue here is physical security. That's it. Now, there are some great arguments to be made that software security in those buildings should also be improved, but that literally doesn't matter if someone has physical

This whole article seems to basically boil down to this: >And in the meantime, a few stronger locks, fences, and security cameras on the doors of the turbines themselves would make physical attacks far more difficult. I mean, any time so

Let me just remind you... since you sound like you care a lot/spend a lot of time on those services: if you're on those services you're encouraged to interact with other people who also care a lot/spend a lot of time on

I mean... they're trying pretty damn hard with Win10. The LTSB version is designed to essentially stay the same with regards to applications/apis/etc while still proffering up security updates as fast they have them. http:&#

I agree. Promises have solved most our team's nesting issues. It's incredibly clear, allows clean and concise error handling, and is easy to use.

Good. Please leave. I don't walk into a restaurant and demand that they cook my food without using a knife. Don't expect modern websites to bend over backwards for a (frankly rather juvenile) view of a modern web standard. Code

But that LITERALLY is memorizing implementation details. Here are the rules for JS, which I happen to know, because I use it often: 1. Javascript is always pass by value, but when a variable refers to an object (including arrays), the &quot

Way late, but your response sort of proves the point. You're having to argue about what I can infer about the language. What JS/Ruby/Lisp/Perl/Java do is irrelevant. Hey, C/Go/D/C++ would all be mor

Because becoming fluent has a cost value trade off, and I think there are a lot of people who simply don't think time invested in that is worth it. I touch a terminal a lot, and I don't value vim enough to become fluent. I certai

I agree. Coming in with a LOT of experience in JS and a good damn chunk in c++, but none in python... this is really bad test. You ask dev about aspects of the language that are essentially memorization: Does matrix.append(x) in python app
