Great feedback! You’re absolutely right — C and C++ give you the primitives to do this manually. If every developer followed the “stack first, heap only when necessary” discipline,…

Your comment got my wheels turning so.. quick followup. Since you lived with this for such a long stretch, I'd love your gut reaction to the specific escape hatches I'm building in…

This is a really helpful data point, thanks for sharing it. What you're describing aligns pretty closely with the behavior I'm trying to achieve—predictable ownership, clear memory…

That’s an interesting comparison. I agree J aligns philosophically (values over references), and you're right that it feels more optimized for pure mathematical work rather than ma…

Thanks! Appreciate the feedback. There are a couple of replies here that sparked some interesting angles—looking forward to diving deeper into those and seeing where the discussion…

I’ve been exploring a new systems-language design built around a single hard rule: Data lives exactly as long as the lexical scope that created it. Outer scopes can never retain re…

I have nothing constructive to add here - I just found this amusing. What can I say.. I'm a simple man. https://pasteboard.co/ZK0rNK25LqxH.jpg

Loving everything about this. You really knocked it out the park. It's so much more ergonomic than cd + ls (which feels like a caveman solution by comparison) Congrats on bringing …

It's scary to admit this but you are probably right. The first thing these bots do is use server resources to scan ports and brute force their way into other machines. I don't want…

Yep. I just paid my ISP for a static IP address to accomplish this exact thing.

I'm still picking up the pieces but from my logs I can see that hundreds of successive login attempts were made from different IPs, effectively circumventing fail2ban with what I c…

Solid advice. I had fail2ban installed and enabled. SSHD Root/password login turned off and only ssh key had access. My firewall was also airtight, or so I thought. Clearly I mucke…

Multiple CDNs have been hit, along with government sites, banks, even small VPS and shared hosts are seeing a drastic uptick in brute force attacks. The info war rages on...

All of my VPS servers have been slammed in the last 5 days with bruteforce SSH attacks. I've never seen anything this aggressive. One of my servers got PWNed, which has never happe…

I think it depends on what platform you choose. For my Ruby/Rails work postgres support has been nothing short of phenomenal. The addition of JSONB and hstore added the dynamic sch…

Consensus based parenting seems like a good idea when you've got one kid and think you have the game figured out. Then you have a second child and see that much of what you learned…
