To anyone interested, this video touches on the greater themes behind the original Deus Ex, and may inspire you to play the game :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g_CBF318nBY

Honest question: what, in you opinion, is the state-of-the-art approach? Something like BeyondCorp?

Exactly. Comparing open source to begging on the street? Yeah, sure, pretty accurate comparison if you are living in a parallel universe where street beggars run the world's infras…

I guess it is pointless to argue about what topics are the most relevant. This "vital articles" list seems completely arbitraty and, frankly, not very important.

The author has a point, but one of the defining characteristics of HN (in my opinion) is that sometimes comments are more valuable than the actual link. Some HN comments are incred…

The default cross-origin blocking behavior is useful for many things, such prevention of data exfiltration via XSS vulnerabilties. CORS is a way to relax this behavior.

I read the PDF version and donated 10 dollars a few months ago. The book is worth more than that, but given the numbers he expose I didn't even feel guilty.

> UX should be a mindset, not a step in the process Every specialist in every branch of software engineering thinks like that. Designers, architects, testers, compliance people, ev…

Care to elaborate? Do you mean S3 VPC Endpoints? Because this could screw many in-VPC Lambdas that need S3.

They were very open about the reasons, they are simple and make total sense. I like the new brand.

You are right, thank you for your reply. The "user behavior is non-linear" and "optimization yealds diminishing returns" are powerful insights.

Better yet, the things you listed are qualities. They encompass every feature in the product. I think parent is generalizing too much on his assumption that only mature companies s…

Can you elaborate on what do you think would be a good solution to this problem? In my opinion, having big central sources of libraries makes it easier for security scanning servic…

Kotlin is great, but I think the "it" syntax was derived from Groovy.

I guess the point is you just can't defeat life. Just like in the Rocky movies, life will hit you eventually. It's easy to forget that while we are young and dreaming of being the …

This book made me feel normal again. I am constantly being embarrassed by doors. Now I know I am not alone.

Yeah, absolutely, if your engineers decide to adopt serverless due to hype or just to improve their own curriculum, you are going to spend a lot more on infrastructure than you wou…

> It may be illegal to monitor networks for MAC addresses, especially on networks that you do not own Isn't it odd that you can't read electromagnetic signals penetrating your wall…

Parent probably implies "with the exception of unsafe" when he says "normal code". Unsafe code is supposed to lack many of the benefits of Rust's memory model.

Not related to the core of the article, but it taught me I can pipe random gibberish (such as tcpdump) to the audio output and I am finding it amazing.

> there's no intrinsic reason that the same company that gives away labour as OSS should also make the best complements to that OSS There are no guarantees that they will provide t…

So the tool can generate a CA cert and automate it's installation. In my experience it can be painful to teach other developers to generate and install their own, especially if the…

Babel + a million lines of Javascript, and a few other build steps. Durying development, only the required modules are built, so it takes only a few minutes to get up and running, …
