Well, I'm in the EU, I celebrate π day. I'm not going to let the questionable origins of a perfectly good day ruin it for me. I even installed a new keyboard on my phone to be able to type π. I celebrate christmas too.

The logic here is that it doesn't reduce security by much, but it significantly reduces password resets. Facebook does it too (and more) which we talked about two months ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=1342654

You're not missing anything. But a bunch of us didn't figure it out before and we're just now learning about it. So we're excited, we're learning something new! (Please, please, don't be condescending to people

Yes, that's called a length extension attack: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Length_extension_attack It's why you don't use a bare hash as authentication, but instead use a HMAC.

That list contains domains where the bug was triggered. The information exposed through the bug though can be from any domain that uses Cloudflare. So: all services that have one or more domains served through Cloudflare may be affected. Th

That's a great defensive technique. But even when you do that, the underlying bug should still be fixed. I don't think the equality operator is the underlying bug. Consecutive pointer increments without a bounds check in between s

The article confuses two things. First there is voting by paper ballot and manually counting them. We have been doing that for about nine years now. Second is aggregating the votes from all the polling stations, this used to be done with so

I think for SQL their sample includes just ".sql" files, which tend to contain schema definitions and data dumps, hence CREATE and INSERT. Most of it not handwritten also.

X-ray does not actually kill film. It will just slightly increase the esposure. But on the films I took through X-Ray scanners I never noticed this. Also you can take the film with you in your carry-on and ask the person at the scanner to l

That LinkedIn thing scares me too. But it might be rather simple. Person XYZ has your email and phone number in his address book, and then shares all of his contacts with LinkedIn (which they pester everyone about).

You can edit cookies with the "Developer Toolbar". It's under "Tools -> Web Developer" and reachable with the shortcut "Shift+F2". It's not brilliant but it works well.

I like Redis as an example in this category. I also think this ties in with the law of leaky abstractions, in that a good understanding of that law will make ui designers choose lesser/thinner abstractions over bigger/leaky ones.

I personally prefer utilities like this just do one simple task and perform it well. And adding a timeout would just complicate things unnecessarily, compared to the alternative of pressing Ctrl-C when you feel you've waited long enoug
