But presumably that happens some time down the road long after you have made your decision. Either that, or said secrets are published and heard about by an audience which are tuned to hear about interesting things quickly, who may also be

I mean no disrespect, but purely from how you phrased this - I hear things said of this form a lot - this sounds more like your problem than Sandstorm's.

What's wrong with compiling elsewhere and transporting the binary there? Also, there are builds of the compiler that one can use, you're not usually forced to compile the compiler.

Agreed. It's pretty awesome to be able to hop on to IRC and talk to their engineers and other experts.

It does greylisting by default. Greylisting is awesome at cutting down spam, but we recently noticed that it was preventing a major mail provider from getting through, among others, because it seems that this major provider doesn't use

Do a `sync` first! Also This is quite like yanking the power chord and plugging it back in. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sync_(Unix)

Unfortunately the space of all possible web addresses is much (MUCH!) smaller than the space of possible MD5 outputs (modulo the deep web). This means it is much easier to reverse. It just means iterating over the ~billions/trillions o

It would be nice to be able to search for a package. Also, the graph currently has a node per "dependency", which may be with a pinned version. Maybe it might be even better if it just showed package dependencies? Looking through

Copy-pasting the contents of rot8000.com/info in and hitting cypher twice ends up scrambling the contents quite a bit.. It also bypasses 32 control characters, technically making it rot7968, sometimes with an additional offset.

Because comments can lie. Also, it can be harder to express the generator in a useful way in English than the code itself if the code is well written. The purpose is to make the code as clearly self describing as possible. I would only do i

My approach is frequently to "name" a complicated list comprehension by shoving it into a one or two-liner closure function in the current scope. Then you don't have to jump miles and the code which uses it becomes readable.

This is pretty mind blowing. Computation without ever incrementing the program counter. Link to the code by the same guys: https://github.com/jbangert/trapcc

docker is the brains, by talking to the operating system it makes easy to use OS containers (which are analogous to VMs but much cheaper since they are one process rather than a whole "machine"). Deis is for orchestration. He&#x27

Because we are technical people, it's very tempting to think of a technical solution to the problem. This author is right on the money though. Against a state level actor there is little hope of securing your own person and effects, an

I'm under the impression that quantum computers buy you a square root. So instead of doubling the number of bits in your key to improve the strength of a key by a ludicrous amount, you should quadruple them. In addition to this, I don&

I have to say, I love some of the principles of Haskell. I am a novice though and I currently don't stand a chance of picking up and hacking on a project without serious amount studying. However, with a cursory glance at Go, I was able to b

I don't claim that was their goal. I think it's just a nice side-effect.

I think this is one of the really great things about Go. Some detractors ask "There is so much to be gained by having generics! What would be lost if Go had generics? Nothing! Ergo, Go is wrong to not have generics". This line of argument i

Apologies, but I don't think you can accuse the golang authors of not putting enough thought into the project. Especially the package structure. This is actually one of the major boons of go. They are solving problems you haven't considered

Some grad students at my university are studying the use of atom interferometers as a so-called "gravimeter" to look for nuclear contraband (uranium has high density, you may have heard) inside shipping containers. It was surprising to me t

Larry inspired me with his talk the other week, in which he lamented that Microsoft (and others) were playing silly zero-sum games in their own closed ecosystems. I've immediately stopped using as many Google products as I can in response t
