'Cyberattack' seems to be the latest buzzword that tech journalists like to use. I'll agree that all the information I've seen points at this being a regular trojan rather than some targeted hacking . Will be interesting

I'd guess that security feels pretty personal to a lot of people. They may not be experts in the area, but maybe they run servers,- deal with sensitive data or just don't want their personal machines compromised. A poor approach t

Thanks for taking the time to answer all that in so much detail, the legal aspect in particular is really interesting. Users staying on old versions is also a good point, and something I didn't consider. Best of luck with the future of

Looks like an interesting project. Is there any reason the extension isn't available for Firefox (missing WebExtension APIs maybe)?

Forgive me for the naive question, but how does this stack up in terms of the legality of what you're doing? I'm aware of some limited exceptions that would allow you to do this sort of reverse engineering for interoperability rea

Definitely a case of practice as others have said. When I first started using LaTeX I was looking things up on tex.stackexchange.com every two minutes. Once I'd gotten used to it and created a lot of documents, I was able to use it to

Why does ZIP imply: * Unencrypted HTTP And why is it that HTTP implies no resume (Range header has existed since HTTP 1.1 if I recall correctly)?

Interesting tool, I like that it works with GitHub and the repo support will be cool to see. The design is neat (I generally like dark themes) although the fading animations got a bit annoying after a few minutes using it. Some of the dialo

If WebAssembly becomes a viable compilation target for other languages (and browser support is there), would you support the teaching of those too for the same reasons? I think part of this is an issue with academia - the tooling that'

That's an interesting model. I completely agree it'd boost appreciation for the higher level languages, but I wonder if that'd be to the detriment of lower level languages. I guess you'd need to emphasise that there are

TypeScript would definitely be useful in introducing more conventional OOP and typing practices. I guess there's the additional transpilation step though that makes things a bit more complicated to get started with.

It's a hard question to definitively answer. I think Python has a lot going for it. It doesn't do dumb things when testing for equality, it's predictable. At the same time, it's perhaps not as easy to write quick scripts
