Just curious: how does one do that? Hash both the binary and source code files, that THAT hash, then sign it? Or am I completely off?

There was an article posted here a while back on how to implement a state machine in Rust, purely using its type system to facilitate state transitions. It's a neat concept, even if it's a bit more verbose than what you'll fi

I've found that avocado oil is really expensive. I've only been able to find it at my local Whole Foods. Haven't checked Trader Joe's, though I'd wager that if they did have it, it'd be a bit less expensive tha

That the company, were it to be a human, would be a 14 year old teenager. 14 year olds, as you know, can be brats due to various reasons (hormones being first among them).

Seems obvious that someone high up on the corporate ladder, with no practical knowledge in how the nitty-gritty work gets done, made the decision. Probably to "minimize IP theft".

I work for a large brokerage company that has a deeply integrated system written entirely in COBOL on the IBM mainframe. That sucker is going no where, and for good reason: it's incredibly efficient for what it does. As a batch process

I'm not sure about you, but I have the option of having my EZPass balance refilled automatically after it gets below a certain threshold -- I have mine set at $10, but I don't go through a lot of tolls everyday. I get a statement

I don't think this situation would be worth quitting one's job over. So you didn't get your way after arguing with your peers over it, it happens. As you say, life is short.

Net-new COBOL code is being written every day in the Enterprise world. I work on a team that's actively updating and maintaining a large COBOL codebase. The default standard that most people write to is COBOL-85. Just because the langu

Many large (or aspiring) open-source projects seek to create a community of users around it, and having a lower barrier of entry to create such a community only helps the project. As you've said, GitHub provides such a low barrier.

Absolutely. In many cases, universities can't afford their own IBM mainframe environment to allow students to learn how to use it. Many folks, such as myself, have to have on-the-job training in order to learn COBOL and how to use the

In Corporate America, this sort of interaction is completely routine, especially when talking with a single business analyst who's supposed to be representing a whole team. Much of the time, the BA imposes their own requests on-top of

Not the OP, but I'm of similar age and also a mainframe programmer by trade. It's a pretty lucrative field to be into, especially because the businesses which operate mainframes tend to be very large and (mostly) stable corporatio

There are some libsodium bindings that you can use[1]. Otherwise, there's not a ton of "Made In Rust" crypto libraries, though I know some are being written. I myself am working on a prime number generator library[2], which i

Should you ever write about that experience, I'd be very interested to read it. That sounds awesome!

A very interesting read, thank you for posting! It's cool to see how the Ionic team has worked around the limitations of Github's platform; stepped up and built something useful, rather than complain about it! I like the work ethi

Tape storage is still the most optimal form of long-term storage. If you need to store things for an exceptionally long time, such as financial data, scientific data, etc, then you're going to get the most bang for your buck on tape.

With a Gen1 release, Oculus is trying to build its "core audience" which will be the PC Gamer. Any serious PC gamer will have built their own custom rig to play games. As long as they can nail this audience, they'll be able t

It's being downvoted not (necessarily) because people think it's offensive, but rather because it's hypocritical.

While the "article" here is fairly light on content, I will say this: Lindsey Sterling (the subject here) is a wonderful artist and absolutely deserves the success she's won. Her music is amazing listen to!

Not very. As disappointed as I am over the lack of inductive charging, like what I currently enjoy with my Nexus 5, the 6P looks like a pretty great device. Huawei's in a great opportunity with that phone to break into the American mar
