Could anyone give some backstory to Joe Web Developer over here? What does it mean to test an OS? Are these unit tests, or is it more like installing the FreeBSD on hardware or a VM and verifying behavior?

To my knowledge no, there is not. If there was, it would also require approval from the network operator. And if you believe that the network operators are aligned with the intelligence community anyways, you would never expect that approva

Many developers have written about ditching a CMS-like thing for a static site generator for their own personal use. I've done it too, it's great! Is there anybody who's had a good experience getting less technical partners&#

"According to NYC Research and Analytics, the average price for a hotel room in New York City is $281 a night. That’s for all five the boroughs. In Manhattan, it’s hard to find a room for under $350. Add that hefty 15 percent tax and l

I'm interested in learning more about _how_ secure random URL parts are, and what kinds of attacks are seen in practice. Presumably an IP would get blocked after enough 404s?

When I was a kid I had a VHS tape—I think it was a National Geographic—that was about Monarch Butterflies in Mexico and also Fire Eaters in Mexico City. Does anyone else know what I'm talking about? I can't find any titles or clue

Wait, isn't that exactly the same "choose the right tool for the job" point that sklivvz1971 is making?

It's the same with C-like syntaxes, or OOP, or *nix stream commands, or the English language, or the phonetic alphabet. It's all a thick pile of history that has been agreed upon piece by piece.

The professional breaches of ethics are shocking and horrible, but the worst part of this is that it's bad test case for the legality of more and more invasive/dangerous bodily searches. If the warrant was invalid to begin with, m

Your descriptions of the painful bugs are all apt, your absolutely right that it should deter anybody from feeling like their data is in good hands. But just as you can find a bug deep in the code, you can also go up the stack and ask how i

There are a lot of interesting things to say about a $634M website that didn’t work when it should have, but what pops out at me here is the description of “poorly written code.” This article even links directly to some of the code, which A
