Yup, and that's exactly the game I used to play. But when you have more than a couple of developers on a project and have ... mixed ... levels of experience, things easily get out of hand while your back is turned. Before you know it y

A note to plot-drawers everywhere. Please don't hide your actual data-points by drawing a bezier curve over them.

I think this is bullshit. I tend to get on pretty damn well with most of my co-developers. The friction comes with managers trying to fit us into weirdly-shaped boxes.

Funny, I always expected Git to transition by adding a stronger hash as a piece of metadata to each commit and continue using SHA-1 for the day-to-day identifier, seeing as most of the time Git doesn't actually go back and actually ve

But does not solve the problem. Multihashes are not unique identifiers of a message, which is what git mostly uses hashes for. Now, instead of a single unique identifier, you have N possible ones, where N is the number of hash implementat

If AMD are at all smart they'll be attempting to contribute AMD-V support to https://github.com/intel/haxm ASAP. Now that will be a fun pull request to watch.

> Never, ever trust any form of escaping or it will bite you. Hard. This is an absurd dogmatic statement. Everybody trusts a multitude of escapings everywhere every day all over the web without even knowing it.

No. No. Never do this. You never actually know where your bottlenecks are going to be until they arrive and by designing everything with a "super scalable" architecture you will be making development ten times as painful and exp

It's simple - WebGL should never have been enabled without user action in the first place - it's a security minefield.

PyPy is a tracing JIT and mozilla abandoned their tracing JIT efforts (TraceMonkey) a few years ago.

Although other people have different opinions to me, I don't really see Nix as something for the desktop, but for development, deployment and server software it's a killer solution for me.

So clearly the random garble in smspriv6fynj23u6.onion isn't recognizable enough for a user to spot a bogus one. And so as long as an adversary is willing to spend the same amount of money mining their bogus key as you are in generatin

It is flexible to an extent, but you still can't e.g. deference a pointer to a struct passed as an argument. And that's where much of the interesting detail is for many calls.

How do people cope with the threat of HSM hardware failures? Would be awfully bad to lose the ability to read all of your sensitive fields including backups.

Zero mentions of OpenStreetMap in that story. Can't be surprised I guess.

Again, depends. It's a tradeoff. As much as you want reproducibility, you never really want to be wed to security bugs. I tend not to but generally consider myself on the fence about that one.
