They certainly have a few outliers. They released 12.5.7 in January 2023, which supports the iPhone 5s and 6 - 10 years after the 5s was initially released! However, that was an outlier; they haven't backported most security patches to

I think that's this bullet: * Don’t waste time on your website design (but do write) Specifically, "do write". Your writings will be way more accessible than conference talks. He also may mean "don't sponsor or have

I was pretty surprised to find C++Now's FAQ entry on interruptions: Why don’t they just let the speaker speak? A common question/complaint concerns how often C++Now speakers are interrupted by questions (and sometime by com

He doesn't make any time or effort claims but 10,000 iterations of libfuzzer generally doesn't take that long. With the rate he is showing (38/second) it'd take just under 5 minutes (~254 seconds).

The standard rule is 2080 hours, it's 52 weeks * 40 hours. You might say, but what about vacation, and that's fair when talking about an employee-employer relationship but you're contracting. So your rate calculations have to

You're right, DEFCON had a competition called Amateur CTF that I remember now. My apologies (it's been 13 years!), but I did say that it was how I remembered it. :) At the time ACTF was very overshadowed by DEFCON CTF and it wasn&

Hah, thanks for pointing that out. The articles on it really should say when permanent daylight time would start, not when the bill would take effect.
