One time pads are still used by governments. They can easily control the hard parts (secure pad distribution and operational procedure).

Flashing LEDs is a possibility too. Like Morse Code, you could flash a dit and a dah (1 and 0) to represents bits. More advanced techniques using proper timing and spacing to form letters and words may allow for more data extraction. I bet

"Politicians need to begin thinking boldly, now, about a world in which driverless vehicles replace most truck drivers’ jobs..." Can we replace politicians with robots?

"Making it easier for people to use technology that controls them and spies on them is not a step forward for society." That was the best quote. He's right, but I don't see the big corporations and governments chan

Do the hints increase performance at all? I would think they could.

Some domain registrars/DNS management services support multi-factor authentication. If yours does not, you should migrate to one that does. DNS is the foundation upon which everything else is built. And, it's been my experience th

I mean the system in general. I get new ports (like everything else) every six months. And when security flaws are discovered in third party software, they are fixed in the -stable branch of the ports tree. https://www.openbsd.or

"Keeping your installed OpenBSD packages up to date is hard and time-consuming." I find it very easy. I follow stable and upgrade every six months. Upgrades take about 30 minutes max.

Writing a letter on an old type writer is like sending Morse Code with a straight key. You manually form each character into words. There's nothing really like it. Human to human (conversation), pen to paper (letter), metal to metal (t

Near Vertical Incident Skywave (NVIS) HF transmissions are very difficult (likely impossible) to track from the ground. They go almost straight up. Hams call them cloud burners. However, they are limited to 200 - 400 mile radius. https:&#x

If you set -std=c++11 or some other version of the standard, they'll be there forever.

+1 for NFS. I don't host controversial content, but it's a fabulous service I've used for many years. Great two-factor authentication too.

This can be fixed, however, electronics will cost more when properly designed and filtered. Until interference impacts a lot of people (not just hams and OTA TV viewers) no one will care enough to do anything about it.

There are too many counterfeits and schemes like this on Amazon. Finding a reliable seller that has a legitimate product and a good reputation has become almost impossible.

One reason much of radio is antiquated and old-fashioned is that the old technology is dead simple and just works. With a piece of wire and a simple radio, you can communicate regionally or globally without network infrastructure or mains p

Mine has a PO box. So do others I know. My street address is not listed by the FCC. Not that I'm trying to prevent that. Just wanted to state a few facts. http://wireless2.fcc.gov/UlsApp/UlsSearch/license.jsp?

This is mostly a C library list. OpenSSL, LibreSSL, etc. are all pure C (not C++).

You should list more detailed requirements. Are the hosts you manage behind network firewalls and/or NAT? Do you expect to be able to initiate requests in, or does the client initiate requests out?

Russell Coker has done some work on SELinux. He's had a Linux box online since 2008 or so that users may ssh into as root. It's really amazing to see what SELinux can do. However, I agree that OpenBSD's focus on small and sim

What does he propose as a replacement for C++? Did I miss that part? IMO, there's currently nothing mainstream that can replace it. Of course, C is just as fast, but has the same expert problem he cites and lacks many of the safety fea

Some great programs are reasonably priced. One example that HN readers may find interesting is Georgia Tech's online graduate CS program. For roughly $7,000, you can get a CS degree from a top 10 school. http://www.omscs.gat

Great article. It seems that she has an outgoing, friendly personality. Companies need those types of employees just as much as they need good technologists.

Very good point. If you write C++, std::set and std::map use trees. And most people who use them don't know that and 99% of the time, that's OK.
