If I have two bad choices, I'll cast about for a third. ;-) But for choices between everything from "equally meh" to "equally awesome" I often flip a coin. I do this because it removes my agency in the choice. My co

I got a business license in 1984. Microsoft abused independent contractor arrangements but not everybody did. I worked primarily on an operating system which supported key-value stores as native file objects (DEC VMS/RMS). I worked on

Ok. Personally I'm tired of voicing unpopular opinions to people who don't want to hear them. (Guess my age.) Not everything is in teh cloudz or likely to be in the cloud. The "cloud" is not everywhere (look at some data

Please explain what "Boomers ruin everything" has to do with the rest of your question. I can imagine that at the beginnings of Bronze Age collapse, immediately following generations deemed the waxings of their elders as merely th

You can get packets of bacillus subtilis at farm stores, labeled "Sav-A-Chick". You can add it to your chickens' water; it helps with diarrhea.

All I have is anecdata. Early years were extremely urban; still have allergies; learned some things about managing them as an adult. Had a resurgence in autoimmune issues a few years ago (triggered by an initial misdiagnosis); declined doin

It was observed a long time ago that if you don't outcompete yourself, somebody else will. ISC has their own competitive replacement KEA ( https://www.isc.org/kea/ )

As somebody who spends some time on this, identifying common infrastructure and targeting that is the best bang for the buck: all kinds of stuff lives in the sewer that you never thought of. OTOH it does require some whitelisting, because a

DICOM: "Designed by a committee" would be an understatement. This is the only protocol I've seen where the envelope is a different byte order from the payload. At least in practice, IIRC the payload can be specified as either

Do you practice know your customer (are you required to)? Is this shared hosting? Who runs the site? Who is responsible for security? What are your assets? Any other way(s) for them to be compromised? Where are your backups; did someone get

If it truly is a compromised site then the site owner needs to clean it up; but starting the sentence with "If.." doesn't make it so. Alex Pinto's classic research into the (lack of) overlap among threat indicator feeds

I live in the USA. Victim blaming "they did something to deserve it" is at best unethical. In court theoretically I would have the right to demand to see evidence. "Hold my beer" is not likely to be sufficient except in

This sounds like most of web scraping and "integrations" generally, by commercial companies, largely black or grayboxed: they just don't read the README, because they're busy scraping.

I haven't programmed in Java in many years, except for making DAGs for Storm and a authorization metalibrary that none of the "real" Java programmers liked. Paradoxically the most sccinct statement of dislike concerned my cho

Ok. So from this I think we can infer that Hacktoberfest thinks it's entitled to the highest level of user verification Discord offers. Doesn't answer my original question, but it tends to reinforce my general assessment of Hackto

I am not a lawyer. ;-) But I am reasonable. I don't like poker; but I have a good poker face. Something the barefoot lawyer drilled into my head was: stay out of court! I look at contracts that way. A hohum contract which has indisputa

Another thing which is missing is in the area of employment law, particularly as it intersects professionals who also consult. For instance I work on open source software, and there's usually little or no recognition of this in the typ
