X is widly used since 30 years. Its configuration (and security model) is well documented (xorg.conf). It is as simple as launching the X server using a simple command line and being able to connect any client (even remote) thanks to a sing

And thank you also for your CTFs. I almost finished CTF 2 (I had the 3/4 of last password) and I learned a lot during this CTF. I am very proud of my T-Shirt.

rms writes and talks a lot. This gives many opportunities for his opponents to find ways to attack him. The main point of rms is freedom. Freedom is a right than can sometimes benefit to evil people. Defending freedom does not mean we defen

IMHO, I think you should avoid saying "the company was shit" and instead focus on what you have learned in a year, how you have improved, what are your achievements. During this year, you have been contaminated by the negativity.

"fossil fuel" is a limited resource (not renewable) full of interesting chemical molecules. It is a shame that it is wasted for energy production. IMHO, it is too cheap.

The first principle for SQL optimization should be to reduce the number of queries. If you have a query inside a loop, the performances may be catastrophic. Using conditionals in queries was sometimes the only solution to avoid loops. The p

At the beginning, C was a handy language with some traps and pitfalls. Thanks to standardization committees and insane optimizers, it has become a minefield of undefined behaviors and security issues. Linux is coded in C because of the &quo

There are so many ways we become dependent of github, that nobody will shame on us because we are impacted by a github outage. In this context, is it useful to protect against outages ? It may be cheaper to do nothing.

I think the answer to your question is not obvious. Here, it would have prevented the problem of Apple. 12 years ago while working on a military project on sun, I have encountered a similar vulnerability caused by a regression https:/

That's excellent. This gives many ideas of small programs to develop with our childs. Why introduce a new language ? Do anyone know similar sites based on javascript ?

Take off, landing and cruising are easy to automate. IMHO, the single purpose of a pilot is to handle failures. The experience (for example https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Air_France_Flight_447 ) shows that it is difficul

You can read the car plate of cars passing in front of you. It is public information. If you can easily gather the location of all cars at any time, it becomes a big privacy problem. You can identify husbands cheating...

I think nuclear is the best current solution, but it is too late to build nuclear plant now because it requires 40 years to be cost effective. I hope that solar will become better than nuclear in less than 10 years.

Oil is a precious finite resource that is misspent because it is too cheap. Electric cars reduces our waste of oil and reduce pollution in towns.

If I encounter an issue on Linux (that I can reproduce), I can investigate it to its root (sometimes in the kernel driver) and fix it (or find someone who has fixed it). On windows, I have only seen issues fixed either by reinstalling appli

I have 3 principles. The first one is KISS. The second one is DRY. This third one is that there is only 3 principles. DRY is less important than KISS. Sometimes, RY is a good way to simplify.

Yes. OS was an acquisition of Microsoft, but Basic, P-CODE, visual basic and visual basic for applications were very central in Microsoft. It enabled to develop office very quickly.

The purpose of a prototype is generally to tackle one or two of the difficulties (among UX, thread architecture, dataflow, performance, complexity of data, encoding/decoding, robustness...) while ignoring most of the others. The other

I love prototypes. You have the joy of the blank page, the freedom of the choice of COTS. You can ignore requirements that would introduce complexity. You do not need to follow the coding rules that impose verbosity. As a result, you can bu
