They're jargon as well as buzzwords. They mean things, but they're unnecessary. "Roadmap" -> plan, strategy "Structural change" -> internal reorganizing, lay-offs "Nimbler" -> fewer employees

I'm not quite sure who would have that illusion. The executives of investment companies (which is essentially what YC is, albeit a little bit different) tend to be wealthy.

From the defensive side, WAFs can be quite helpful for alerting. It's detection, typically not prevention (against a dedicated attacker at least), but it helps.

It is a bit odd that Schneier was stating it as an obvious fact despite no evidence. Of course, the NSA had and has great incentive to compromise them, as well as the ability to do so, but it's still an empty claim (even if it's p

I agree, I think the script writers knew exactly what they were doing. They did not have to achieve technical accuracy to convey the hacker ethos to a general, or even a technical, audience.

Going on minimal sleep for a week is far less severe than no sleep for 11 days straight. If they were keeping prisoners up for 24-36 hours, I could see that potentially being argued as not torture, if not done frequently. Anything beyond

I don't think anyone on HN has argued that, but many people in the general public still insist that "enhanced interrogation" like what's done in Guantanamo is not actually torture. Or at least they used to, until Obama f

If by "before" you mean 2008, then yes, arguably. Starting around 2009 I've started using various browser extensions to hide the comments, and I've never been happier.

I find it funny that both Hacking Team and Gamma Group kept repeatedly claiming they do not sell to sanctioned governments, or governments with human rights issues, when they both clearly were behind the scenes. It's a pretty easy thin

Yes, this would be excellent. Most people who would be using this in a serious way would likely run the bulk of their queries on the serverside in their graph DB, and then perhaps allow a bit of graph manipulation in the browser just to vis

What are some advantages of Neo4j compared to the more recent OrientDB and ArangoDB? I know Neo4j is a pure graph DB and the other 2 claim to be "multi-paradigm", but those other 2 also claim to implement most graph functionality

There's another anomaly for #1: There is a "rundll322.exe", should be "rundll32.exe". Also, its description is "Print driver host for...", which would not make sense for the real rundll32.

OpenResty is considerably faster than Node in the JSON serialization, single query, and plaintext benchmarks. It is slower than Node in the multiple queries benchmark, and missing from the other benchmarks. So, it's a bit more inconclu

by rudolf0 11y ago
For web applications, you're definitely going to get better performance with OpenResty. However, Node has one advantage: you can write any sort of socket server with it. With nginx/OpenResty, you're stuck with HTTP(S) servers

I use Moonscript and like it, but do not use the classes (partly for "leaky abstraction" and debugging reasons, partly performance concerns). I'm a fan of significant whitespace and most of the rest of its syntax sugar. The o

True, open redirects can cause serious security issues. Do not have an route that simply does the equivalent of `return redirect(params["url"])`, either at login or anywhere.

by rudolf0 11y ago
This is pretty crazy. I wonder how the route hijack didn't get noticed by anyone at the time, though? Or at least if someone did notice, they didn't make a fuss about it.

I don't think Facebook's business would be at risk at all if they open sourced most of the backend code. As long they kept things like spam/malware detections closed. Facebook's main value proposition is the existing net

You're right, but there's no question that being somewhat vague with the patch details and producing only a changed binary means attackers will be slowed down a bit from producing a functional exploit. Even if you're only buy

This is the unfortunate truth. My company still uses Python 2 solely, not a single line of Python 3. Unless there is some major breakthrough in porting tools (in combination with more and more libraries supporting 3), Python 2 will still pr
