Sorry, can you clarify what you mean by this? The ACME spec (RFC 8555: https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc8555.html ) fully specified both the HTTP-01 (Section 8.3) and the DNS-01 (Section 8.4) challenges nearly four yea

The new ACME feature isn't just about surviving the revocation event itself. Suppose that the new API didn't exist, but every client polled on a daily basis to check to see if their cert was revoked. Then great -- within 24 hours,

While I appreciate and agree with the last section regarding replacing GitHub's "fork" model with something lighter-weight, it amuses and saddens me that the author puts a lot of effort into describing something that they fee

The reader team didn't exist (and hadn't for years) at the time the decision was made to shut it down.

That's actually not the argument that was made, as I understand it. The argument was that the Java API -- by virtue of being part of Java, which was openly released -- was also open. The APIs that MicroG is reimplementing don't se

I love this paragraph of the Request: > The singular includes the plural; the plural includes the singular. The masculine gender includes the feminine and neuter genders; and the neuter gender includes the masculine and feminine genders.

In Chromium (well, actually depot_tools[1], the closest thing Chromium has to a developer SDK) we provide `git freeze`[2] and `git thaw`[3]. These behave similarly to 'stash', but instead of taking your content and putting it who-

Some projects (like Chromium) squash all of the contributor's commits into a single commit representing their entire local branch history (it was local, no one needs to see their "aw shit I broke the tests" commit), and then

Please update (perhaps by switching to getting Chromium from a PPA). Chromium 37 is nearly 2 years old, and is missing many features and many security fixes.

Likely also related to the fact that this is arguably the first time than an iPhone release has removed a feature. The highest top-level comment in this thread is about the removal of the headphone jack, and that subthread alone has 644 c

That's actually exactly what "standard" means in a discussion where people know we're likely referencing ISO and IEEE.

Yes, sandboxing and ephemeral machines are far and away the best defense a CI system has against compiling/testing malicious code. But the vast majority of CI systems don't actually use ephemeral executors because imaging between

The armonica is a truly beautiful instrument, but in terms of technical difficulty and impressive performance I still much prefer original many-cups-of-water glass harmonicas/harps: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QdoTd

Owning someone's CI system via the CI system is all well and good, but not surprising in the slightest. All these things expose web-based admin interfaces, so of course they're vulnerable at the very least to social engineering. T

Yep, it's due to gofmt, which enforces tabs for all semantic indentation and spaces for all alignment indentation (which means lines never start with a space).

Why does running the simulation with N>6 cause a stack overflow? In this naive implementation, the deepest the recursion stack can be is N^2 cells, which for (e.g.) 7 is only 49 cells deep. That shouldn't be enough to cause a stack

This is actually what I did in my first internship -- generating Delaunay triangulations (or more often, tetrahedralizations) of points, and then adjusting the underlying sets of points to help ensure that the corresponding Voronoi cells ha

The OP actually cites that project as the method they use for initial polygon generation, and tells everyone to go read it.

You don't want to work for a company that operates that way anyway, if you can avoid it.

Most simple regular expression evaluators are basically state machines. They hold a few variables: a) what part of the regex am I currently trying to match b) what point in the string am I currently starting at c) how much of the string has

There are a lot of commits in the history of this repo that seem like actual typos on the behalf of the creator of the repo. For example, the line "that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" was accidentally

I guess I meant the former in terms of it simply being the worker's job to get the review taken down. No actual threat of being fired at all, but the company has given their implicit (or worse, explicit) 'ok' for using that t

I'm not sure if I'm more scared of a company that makes horridly insecure devices and then tells its employees "do everything you can, be as manipulative as you can, but get this review taken down", or if I'm more s

Because this is a thing I feel strongly about, I'd just like to say: As long as you have more qualified candidates than you have seats to fill, you don't have to lower the bar to increase diversity.

by phasmantistes 10y ago
This is demonstrably not true. Suppose I have a pool of 100 candidates, 20% of whom are female. Suppose further that 10% of the pool (8 men, 2 women) meets my "bar", and are therefore people that I want to have in my company. But

by phasmantistes 10y ago
Yes, you're absolutely right. But that's also a terrible excuse: "Oh, the problem is before the candidates reach me, so there's no need for me to do anything to fix the problem myself." Everyone at all stages -- fro

Some companies have trade secrets. Do you think Google is really going to let you come in and poke at the Search stack for a week just to see if you're hireable? This isn't about the number of departments. This is about companies

I don't think fraud is a driving cause here. The real cause is downgrade protection. When your browser loads an HTTPS page, it will refuse to load (or at least warn when loading) any other resources over HTTP: js, css, iframes, etc. Th
