Have you been through some sort of responsible disclosure? I don't know enough to tell if this is an immediately usable vulnerability.

There is no over-supply of developers, there is an oversupply of CVs?

The point of a lock is twofold (in most cases* ). First, to discourage casual/opportunistic access. Second, to make unauthorised access evident. I believe this lock meets those criteria, albeit at a minimal level - but it's purpos

could you easily simulate human speed control, with gentle variance and effective repulsion between vehicles? or overload the road and see how it breaks down.

They are working with relatively inelastic materials and as such they will work very differently from animal muscles, tendons and ligaments.

I'd add obviousness here. Make the design and code as obvious as possible. Simple and easy to understand.

In cases where you perform A/B testing it may require a slick interface, whilst still being a POC. In this case I have looked for ways to reduce complexity and ideally any services which require hosting should be clearly hacked togethe

Unless you could use an SSD? (most people who compile code are valuable enough that their time warrants the fastest thing available, no?)

but there can be some interesting not-a-failure modes, I know because I suffered one and the recovery was a nightmare due to overly-protective UEFI. Fortunately, anything on my local SSD is only in cache and not to be worried about ;) (and

I think it is a joke. Possibly something deliberately intended to make it's way to the front page, at which point it might transform into something more sinister? Not important or useful so far as I can see. Insufficiently shiny to b

Because in all too many companies, re-writing from scratch is a no-go, no matter how quickly and sloppily an initial solution was thrown together. I've worked on a prototype => production type project, where the throwaway was never

As an aside on the username/password thing, unless it's going to be visible through your window, you're probably best off keeping them on a sticky label attached to your router. That way, you have them when you need them, the

it's all too common that a victim loses not only by crimes committed but also by being a victim. Having had a motorcycle stolen, the police recovered a bag which had been attached to it, and it took my time and money to get to the poli

yes, quite clear that they didn't give it the priority it warranted (aka giving a shit) - just wanted to point out that there was a friendlier option timing wise. For my money, I'd have seen this disclosed 11 months ago - it'

Another minor consideration - here in the UK this was posted at 10PM - not exactly a friendly hour. It would have been nice to schedule the post for a time when UK businesses expect to operate. I don't expect they would have thanked yo

check that it's a string of the right form (e.g. it repeats something exactly twice) and then derive the original password from that, before feeding it to your hashing function.

I'm using the '+' for automating email tests - using that and Gmail's API I can set up asynchronous tests against unique email addresses, and test them as they arrive. This is a crucial part of integration testing with p

When do you think I learned to do math in my head? or played tic-tac-toe without a board? or learned many word games? The only time I was bored enough to pay attention ;)

What I do, stuck behind such a driver, is spot it quickly and hang well back. Then I can accelerate to match the traffic behind such a dangerously slow driver. Plus, if they have their accident early, I have lots of space and time to deal w

Not to mention avoiding organizational problems that younger developers will blithely lead them into?

I'm sure this or a similar technique is already in use in commercial photolithography.

Actually, that aspect of selfishness is a part of the barrier keeping me from it. It's a terrible thing to inflict upon the people close to you. And yes, I've been pretty depressed sometimes.

There's no shame in taking a non-optimal path, and then working out how to get better at it later. Research is about solving problems, answering questions. Why should that have to be the hard way?
