The reason for the negativity is that this demonstrates the "Design by StackOverflow" mentality where the solution is like swatting a fly with a sledgehammer and no real domain kno…

This is a great example of how so many programmers think they are the first to discover something that is "ancient". In reality this is a problem older than Linux (linux just had t…

He doesn't describe an attack, he describe literally what 802.11 was designed to do. An attack is forcing a deauth and then stealing the 4-way handshake data and, say, cracking WEP…

Yeah, I agree with you. I had a sneaking suspicion. Funny you mention Electron: my company switched from Qt to Electron because it opens up a larger pool of developers with instant…

I've spent significant time in HCMC (about 6 months over four years). It is vibrant, friendly, booming, tech heavy, and goddamn cheap. I didn't need medical care, and didn't have t…

Before I start, let me state that I am familiar with the notion that there is no such thing as "digital" electronics: everything, ultimately, is analog. I'm focusing on what I have…

Wasn't there just a court case that ruled CBP couldn't force you to unlock your device without a warrant? Like just 2-3 weeks ago.

Interestingly, at DefCon last year, a presentation was talking about how in Africa there are interposer SIM shims that slip over the top of the simcard and provide additional funct…

Right there with you. I'm guessing we're both over 40. Thinking your home is an investment is some "flip that house" 1990's reality TV show bullshit.

"It trips me out to see other people in the comments that don't know who ____ and ____ are..." That's what is meant by "cult of personality."

Kinda reminds me of Transmeta. Except they had a product, a shitty one, but a product. Or Ampere, but they only have one product they inherited and no flashy names. Silicon startup…

> This reminds me of first time founders who can't wait to get "CEO" business cards. I worked for such a CEO. In the first year we had four week-long retreats to: an island in WA s…

Whoa. That's brilliant. Thanks!

oh, shit. that means if i just send a timeout promise and a worker promise to Promise.race([...]), and the timeout finishes but the worker never does... then I have some unfulfille…

I use SendGrid and STILL have to ask major companies to fix their spam filters.

the author can't even be bothered to implement proper TLS/HTTPS on their website (Mozilla blocks it)... and they voted for domain names?

I've been programming with promises for several years now, and I find myself using a common pattern of adding a race timeout promise. It seems like a useful feature, why isn't it i…

> Don't take this as trash-talking, though. I simply want to get things done, not fight my environment. I think people don't understand just how badly C++ is broken in reality (vs …

Riiiiight. /r/thathappened

For years, I have spent countless hours in and out of work learning new computer and electronics skills. From embedded control systems and building op-amp PID filters, from signal …

I speak to nine year old relatives: they are barely articulate simians. What is it like talking to a 9 year old who has completed a 4-year EE degree? Can you walk up to the kid and…

This is the coolest response. :) (You didn't by any chance sail around Cape horn in 2016? I met this really cool older couple in Central America who had been living at sea for 17 y…

Chug! Chug! Chug! (the kool-aid) That author had to jump through so many hoops to make an argument his chiropractor must be rich. Seriously, that entire article was nonsense from t…

Why are so many folks here running media servers? Are you really streaming your own video / audio libraries, or is there something else it is useful for? I'd be rather shocked to l…
