   Brew was installing the affected version 5.6.1 of `xz`. They have in meantime rolled back the version to 5.4.6 There's not enough information yet to know for sure what the effect is / was on systems running the backdoored version.

   I don’t want to sound silly, but there are 24 open and 37 closed bugs on the FoundationDB Github page. Could it perhaps be that bug-free is somewhat exaggerated? Antithesis looks very promising by the way :-) Edit: perhaps Apple didn’t cont

    I'm a 38yo male and was (in my high school at least) some math prodigy. But hormones got in the way, I wasn't a great student at university and decided to study economics. I have a pretty good job at a well-known software company

    I played microstakes for a while 10c-25c, 25c-50c and was an OK grinder in my teens and could steadily increase my bankroll only to tilt away all the profit (and more) every time. Those were not good times.

    In Belgium, police cannot evict squatters unless they are caught during the act of entering. Lunacy and a veritable nightmare if your property is targeted.

    I've read an interesting comment on lobste.rs that this is basically a way to try to circumvent GDPR.

    Are there any known stories about real life attacks on HSMs? Would be interesting to hear / read about them.

    I don't get these threads, it's impossible for everyone to do a job that they love and that is meaningful ... it's the ultimate luxury. Try to find an alternative way to give meaning to your life. (I have not yet succeeded in

    Can somebody explain to me why 24! ≈ 10^24 and 25! ≈ 10^25 makes sense? 25! is 25 times bigger than 24! while 10^25 is 10 times bigger than 10^24?
