For those not familiar League of Legends is played fairly competitively and usually 5v5 (10 players per game). The only thing that matters in ranked play is whether your team wins or loses. League has one of the most toxic communities I hav

This is a great post and more of these are surely needed. I think the reason we don't see many graduates speaking out is because they feel it might "de-value" their degree which I totally understand. However the lack of trans

This single issue would make me not want to use MongoDB. I'm sure there are design considerations around it but I rather use something that has sane semantics around these edge cases.

That site recommends libsodium which by default uses Argon2. The issue is that Argon2 is not very mature yet. Also if you are using python there is no good library out there. Ideally you want something well tested since it is possible for l

The one thing about wireless technology is that we still have a long way to go. On the one hand it is freaking amazing that we have a tiny device in our pocket that can pretty much pull down the world's information. On the other hand i

Am I the only one that is has been coding for years and don't expect people to know regex off the top of their head? There are so many variants and keeping them straight between languages is a nightmare. Grep, egrep, POSIX, perl, pytho

Does this mean to successfully exploit a program I need to write to an area in memory that the program will later turn the page in memory to "Execute"?

I like the naming. Pretty clear that if you set the flag the cookies stay on the same site.

Great article! I wouldn't mind if you were even more opinionated. If I was looking for a charting library I'd very much like to know what you consider really good and what stinks. Especially with this much research.

This is some real life swordfish shit right here. This is not some run of the mill trojan keylogger. Whoever wrote this had plenty of access and time to get the malware correct.

I am so annoyed at Python for not having a good upgrade path with backwards compatibility. Even with iOS you can use Swift code along with ObjC.

Yikes. SHA1 with no salt?! If your password is under 10 characters and has no symbols it can pretty much be cracked instantly using a standard rainbow table: http://project-rainbowcrack.com/table.htm The SHA1 rainbow table

I've thought of this a bit in the context of more senior developers. One of the questions I asked my friend was "who the heck do I go to when I am the senior architect/dev and need help with X technology?" I wonder if th

Tesla needs to have some sympathy for the user. People "will" accidentally press a button, sometimes more than once. Sometimes you press it because it is there. This happens. The feature needs to be robust in the face of failure a

Yay! No more bitbucket for all my private repos. I wonder if this change is because of competition?

I actually feel fingerprints are a bad idea but I also feel the city has a right to enact ordinances that the populace believes will help keep them "safer". One other thought is that why wouldn't Uber/Lyft want these re

I am really confused at this article. Uber and Lyft don't want to operate in areas that require fingerprint based background checks. I get it. Harder to get drivers, more process, etc. But isn't that just a cost of doing business?

Node is one of those platforms that makes me shudder every time I go looking for solid best practices. It seems to change every 3 months. It's scary (and cool) how fast things are changing.

The idea is to force other people out of the market because they can't continue to sell at your price. If Apple gave away their iPhone for free (and could sustain that with the cash they have) they could drive every other phone manufac

This is exactly correct. Sometimes I would like to think starting a technology business is all about the tech but in reality business is personal. Building relationships is critical and so is maintaining them. They provide real value and

I'm pretty surprised that the Kindle 1st Generation is from 2007. It's pretty cool that Amazon is still supporting a product from 9 years ago. I would have expected support to drop off or at least not issue any new updates period.

This is awesome. Not only did the have an excellent write up but also contributed the patches back. I'm not the biggest fan of PHP (mostly because I learned it on PHP4 and it encouraged bad coding practices back then). However I can&#x
