I like to think of Go as a niche language with excellent tooling for small-medium microservices and various forms of networking clients and servers. When you look at it in that light, it's not a bad language. It's an okay language

We can stop human trafficking without placing restrictions on pornography, except for specific pornographic content proven to be linked to human trafficking.

That seems pretty unreasonable. I can see providing an option for it, but blocking it by default is bordering on paranoid.

Armchair psychiatry is unwise. It's very possible for someone to be extremely ruthless in business while still being a genuinely empathetic and kind person in general. Not all sociopath-seeming executives are actual sociopaths.

>pornography has been linked to human trafficking Water has also been linked to human rights abuses in the form of waterboarding.

I don't think there was anything fundamentally unethical about Silk Road (other than the owner very likely attempting to have several people murdered, of course), but the defense is clearly grasping at straws here.

For some reason, this feigned almost-apology seems a lot more dickish than if they were just silent on the matter completely. It's pretty well-accepted at this point that they intended the algorithm to allow for "key escrow"

This used to be true, especially with Comcast, but I read a blog post about a year ago stating that in most cases using Comcast's DNS servers is actually faster nowadays. I closely benchmarked it and they turned out to be right, though

My prediction is "Internet of Things" will begin to transition into "Local Network of Things (Accessible via VPN or Gateway)" for this exact reason. It'll still appear as "Internet of Things" to most end u

They cache static content like images and host that, yes, but they do not host any dynamic pages or "websites" themselves. They have some hosting capabilities but I think that would be better described as a "mirror" rath

It's an intentional business decision, and it makes some sense if you understand the process. First, here's their CEO's explanation of their stance: http://blog.cloudflare.com/58611873/ Cloudflare is clo

They appear to be awful at OPSEC but pretty good at offensive security. Which is a very common theme with groups like these. As long as their core botnet infrastructure stays afloat, it doesn't really matter to them what's discove

True, but the API for pure Greenlets is a bit ugly. In Go, the API for goroutines and channels is superb, concise, and clear. For me, the negative traits of Go outweigh the positive, but I really wish other languages would adapt some of its

I'm a huge fan of Python and gevent, and not the biggest fan of Go, but there's something to be said about built-in concurrency constructs like goroutines compared to something quite hacky like gevent (gevent.monkey.patch_all() ev

Zee was apparently involved with both groups. He was likely the only skilled member of Lizard Squad.

by rudolf0 12y ago
Zee/"ryanc" has indeed been involved in things like these for many years. HTP (Linode + much more) is just a small part of it. I'm also very surprised it's taken this long for him to be arrested. He's completel

Several large and respected security companies agree with the FBI's assessment, like Crowdstrike. Crowdstrike claims to have been tracking the NK group that did it for years. They've published information about that group (whom th

Of course. Even more likely is that the timestamps aren't forged, but are merely a result of the attackers copying everything to some sort of local storage a few days before preparing the big dump to release to the public. It's po

There are ways of bypassing stack canaries, depending on the specific application and environment. No exploitation mitigation is ever fool-proof. Also, in many cases applications will be distributed or have Makefiles without enabling stack

That's certainly interesting, but one would have to compare North Korean dialects and translations for a complete analysis. It's very possible the language spoken there also uses "false" to mean "lies".

by rudolf0 12y ago
You're right, but I don't think they would make this accusation purely due to a mistake. In my opinion, there are 2 possibilities: 1. The FBI knows who did it and is telling the truth by saying it's North Korea. 2. The FBI kn

I hate Sony, but if North Korea really did hack them and threaten terrorist attacks in the US purely to cancel a movie mocking their leader, then yes I feel angry and rather "patriotic". US businesses giving into terrorist threa

Is it just me, or does Rust code always seem very clean and tidy? I haven't seen a Rust project yet where the code seemed "ugly". It's such a pleasure to look at compared to C++ (though nested generics are still a pain).

Do you mean a language with a very strong type system like Haskell, where you could create a web framework in which things like user input have different types associated with them? Those can offer some real advantages by never mixing untru

That's exactly how I solved it. I'd consider myself a pretty decent programmer, but I did poorly in algebra and calculus at middle, high school, and university level. Give me "x + (x + 1) + (x + 2) = 69" and I wouldn&#x2
