There’s still levels to it. “Isolation” can mean the network hardware has no direct connections to an extranet. Data is transferred manually by physical media (USB, DVD, etc.) with…

Any plans to let people create accounts to track their scores over time?

It would be very surprising for somebody without a formal software development background and years of experience. Looking back at 2015 when Python 2 was still supported, there was…

$240/yr in software subscriptions but likely far more than that by selling the extra metadata they can extract from the service

Are Ubiquiti products commonplace for companies that contract with the US government outside of the DoD/DoW? Since DoD/DoW generally requires STIG compliance, and none authored are…

It was fun exploring this to make a native-shell-only peer-to-peer file transfer utility at work for some automation scripts. At least, it was until trying to replicate it in Power…

Dang, haven’t read much on Julia as of late. I remember using it for a CS 300-level course around 2016 when learning about tokenizing and parsing as part of language fundamentals. …

To answer the first question, a number of veteran independent researchers probably wouldn’t have touched such a system. Plenty of companies will send their lawyers after you if you…

Honestly I’m surprised this wasn’t already a feature in macOS. Thank you for coding it and publishing as open-source!

SQLite did decently well but I think they should’ve done an additional benchmark with the database loaded completely into memory. Since they’re using Go to accept requests and forw…

Seems the installers hosted by them are fine. The links on the site have been changed to direct people towards Cloudflare R2 storage with various copies of malicious executables. L…

That’s the ironic part. Plenty of consumer-grade devices have had very lax security settings or backdoors baked in for purposes of “troubleshooting” and recovery assistance. It’s n…
