I started reading this article not knowing anything about powershell, and finished horrified by the issues he tried to dispel in it. No remoting, no scripting? Are they serious?

How does this policy interact with greasemonkey, an extension that allows running random JavaScript on sites with access to the extension API. You could write your malware as a greasemonkey extension, convince a user to install a signed gre

It makes me sad that federated protocols are on their way out.

Crowd funding would have been fine. What you did was pre-mine. This undermines the currency. Nobody is going to trust a currency where you hold so much of it and there is no way to prove you gave as much away as you clam you did.

Yes, but all that will achieve is a tester writing it into their plan to check that invalid credentials don't let you in. It will not magically teach programmers to write secure code.

I am from the UK, and here everybody learns to swim at school around 6, it is simply part of the curriculum. It is treated like reading or writing, if you can't do it you get put in special classes till you can. I would guess more peop

I think the reason this is so often true, is because with stuff like this, there is not a eureka moment and suddenly you have something 1000x better than what already exists as can sometimes happen in other fields like chemistry, but a tech

It was controlled using a screw driver. What makes a device? For me 2 plutonium spheres and a screw driver rotated to adjust the gap counts.

Impressive stuff. One of the features of the winner is that you can offload the expensive computation to a client and still maintain the security you would have if it were done on the server. This should hopefully persuade people to use slo

I wish researching the drugs you do and testing them as thougraly as possible was more widispread. I have managed to drill it into most people I meet in that context. Most are actually receptive and dispite public assumptions, do care about

Oops, I should have read the comments, I too crashed it testing this theory.

How likely are these companies to upgrade to the latest vim though? It is not like these companies running VMS are following the latest version, if vim dropped crufty old OS's, then the code would be simpler and the old OS's would

How often do you leave a web page open on your computer then leave for a while, I often do. It would probably be prudent that the NSA has ways of doing this with much less effort, perhaps bringing down the number of requests needed to just

I am not an engineer, but it might be easier to launch a spacecraft with an ion engine that over years manages to reduce the speed relative to Pluto to something human scale.

I hate this user hostile trend among hardware startups, that is requiring/involving third party "cloud" infrastructure for no particular reason other than to extort money out of customers.

It is likely a scala program running, no buffer overflows to be found. In a modern language, you have to be very careless to allow RCE.

Why does this need to connect to your servers? What happens if you become insolvent? Why can't I just buy the damn thing then use it? Why do I have to pay for a subscription to a service which is effectively a simple proxy between the

Non-blogspam link: http://pluto.jhuapl.edu/News-Center/News-Article.php?page=20... Just because it is the guardian does not mean it is not blogspam. They do not add enough info to the original article IMHO.

It probably takes more effort to write a whiny blog post about the imports behaviour than hooking goimports on save.

Can anybody clarify what is meant by " Generate machine descriptions from PDFs (or maybe XML).", " "Read in PDF, write out an assembler configuration"."? That sounds . . . ambitious. https://talks.go

You could argue lots of long running server software has been compiled more times through development than it has been started in prod.

That suggestion is not really practical as you need to make the same requirement from all your third party libraries. While gcc will spend more time optimizing than go, the main reason for the speed difference at the moment IS unnecessary w

This is plain wrong, the main reason the compiler is fast according to the authors[1] is because it handles dependencies more sanely than C/C++. https://talks.golang.org/2012/splash.article
