I wish that affected sites would simply reset my password themselves, internally, and then inform me when I visit the site that I need to use the 'Forgot Password' function to reset my password. As it stands, they get to say they&

These cameras aren't baby monitors per se, they're designed for surveilling a space. They have both a microphone for listening and a speaker for... shouting at ne'er-do-wells stealing your stuff, presumably.

As an owner of one of these cameras I remember being appalled at how difficult it was to actually secure, how many settings needed to be changed, and how bad the defaults were. Foscam cameras are practically shipped open and insecure by def

In this case I would replace "stupidity" with "assumption". It was code-reviewed so that level assumed correctness. It's in OpenSSL, which is written by experts, so the millions of us that use it every day assumed c

Nope, there's more bad code being written now than at any other point in history (I totally just made that fact up and I stand by it). If ever there was a time to be hero through code deletion, now is the time. Carpe diem!

I hypothesize that any numbers-based code metric management comes up with can also be gamed by adequately-motivated developers. In fact, if you come up with such a metric and have a developer who can't figure out a way to game it, perh

"meatspace firewall" might be the best term for a cease-and-desist lawyer I've ever heard. Well said!

Once upon a time I did the start-up, sleep-deprived, living at work thing, and frankly younger me thought it was awesome. Older me looks back and things younger me was sometimes an idiot. Recently I had a kid and got to experience the sleep

I mean this in the nicest way, but you've rather missed the point. While your response might be technically accurate and true, the author speaks to a greater issue than a one-off hack will support.

As a Canadian I've learned we seem to get practically waved through as well. The most pleasant immigration experiences I've ever had have been in Germany and France over the past few years. By far the least pleasant experiences ha

Regarding your last point, and as pure conjecture, it depends on how old the password is. When I was a student signing up for trial software etc. I often thought such things like "No one will ever guess 'offspring' as my pass

I would recommend 4 unless you have prior knowledge of an incompatible gem you can't live without. The benefits are worth it. I've built two small-scale Rails 4 apps now and all incompatible gems have been easily replaced with eit

Nope, this is a front-end interface for getting your files from the user to the browser and then to your Rails app. Paperclip and Carrierwave (I highly recommend Carrierwave) manage the actual storage of the file data (ie on S3) and the inc

The "no code" aspect is bandied about a lot but it looks legit in this case. That's extremely attractive; sending common automated emails should really not need development team effort. Nice work!

Most IFE systems are air-gapped from flight control systems, if that's what you're worrying about.

The simpler explanation is that the cluster running all developer-related sites is down. It doesn't always have to be a conspiracy.

Almost as they they're trying to report rather than spread "rumor, or conjecture"? If that's the case they deserve applause; it'd be nice to see news agencies back on the reporting track, analysing and filtering bef

"Changing the facts?" - I don't follow. The data is there in front of you, nothing has been changed. Most likely article authors have no capacity to remove that statement from their posts and that it's just boilerplate C

Imagine, if you will, a father who knows he needs to make a public statement, one that will be scrutinized by an entire world. A father wanting not only only convey his pride but also to help sway a country's opinion. Such a father mig

Sadly there's very little value in reading this article, insofar as it contains no useful insights or lessons but rather is simply an exercise in throwing stones at someone's life-work, and, near as I can tell, it comes from out of left fie

The article's author cleverly avoids the shame of Betteridge's Law by simply leaving off the question mark, but alas the result is the same. And in that you find your answer.
