"It's not opening the source that makes the software more secure. It's enough reviewers or white hats looking at the code. Security vulnerabilities in Linux (both kernel and user space) show that regularly." Thank you fo

You posed an interesting point which my mind immediately went to: How do you think 2008 apple would do against the sole of today given today’s technology?

I think that after you realize the limits of your (and our) technical ability to defend against attacks, you can then apply a threat model to see which attacks are not practical given your assets. For example, I’m reasonably sure there are

Didn’t look it up for source but I thought hacking was coined by model train enthusiasts, “hacking” together train sets.

That’s very complex compared to a model I was thinking about while reading this article. Consider that many forms of sword fighting remove the complexity by creating zones. I’ve been told that a skilled swordsman can identify 16-32 zones co

Interesting approach. Makes me wonder if you authored a component and extended a license to say that “use of this code must abide by [inert relevant code of ethics]”, could you enforce that?

If you read the article, the developer already was not working for Chef. Chef was/is relying on OSS components which the former develop pulled from the open repository. -edit for clarity.

The technicals of the story are interesting around the software supply chain. I’m put off by the statement: “I want to be clear that this decision is not about contract value—it is about maintaining a consistent and fair business approach

Right. This is why we typically speak about defense in depth. Input sanitization works best when applied to known expected inputs, like a phone number or dob. Output encoding is the real solution where we know where we intend any data to en

I’m sure the the op knows this. The point that was made is that the article’s title stated that FB staff is using that term to describe children. The article doesn’t actually support the claim it makes in the title.

While I agree with your sentiment I believe that body builders and strength trainers do experience this as they reach semi(pro) levels. It is extremely hard to do and is often an incorrect self-diagnosis. Please let me know if there has bee

The way you worded this implies that it helps a very small number compared to how much housing it takes away. Isn’t it the same number?

Humans may also be the best at handling what you stated. You’re comparing us to robots but if you say humans were designed then our collective knowledge limits us to 1 at present. So we’re the best and worst.

Thank you for the story, I find this fascinating! I’m really surprised how easy it was to accidentally grow this. Is this a 1/(very high number) chance occurrence or is it a somewhat normal happening if proper steps aren’t taken to cle

I came here to say this, thanks. On the dev side. I’ve been told that there are a few main consultancy firms which do the bulk of development for most companies. It’s more appropriate to hire these firms than it is to build your own teams.

Does this 100% mean that humans are consuming high amounts of these opioids or could there be another explanation? Like someone dumped a boat of pills into the sound.
