I have many future ideas for this. I wrote it out of boredom and a desire to do something "low level"-ish and parsing DHCP packets seemed like a fun example. All this exercise has …

> Telling people they can have a religion but they can't practice it is as laughabaly silly as telling them they have freedom of speech so long as they don't say undesirable things…

>I'd also wager a guess that most South African farmers are not white Given the demographics, not an unfair guess, albeit a lazy one. No, not even close. Land reform is a controver…

Vastly misunderstood this from the title and I suspect a few others have as well. This seems to be more about internships than interviews for a qualified professional (or whatever …

What kind of documentation would you like to see for a service like this? Genuinely asking because I've always used the query dig +short myip.opendns.com @resolver1.opendns.com to …

Whenever I see interface{} mentioned in Go I see vague references to polymorphism. That is wrong. Interface is a special type in Go. All interfaces in go, including ones you declar…

Comments like this make me think we software engineers live in a different world. >unlike USD, the court can’t do something like garnish your wages to pay back a 10M settlement by …

>The theory is that the code is the law. There is no theft. What rubbish. You cannot claim "the computer let me do it" and expect to be let off for that. That's an extreme absurdit…

That feels like a false equivalency, because what I'm talking about is the right to be forgotten. Which is only a fallacy because data is a commodity, not because it's technically …

Let's not twist the argument. Those channels exist to spread private, identifiable data and this breaks the law. A better version of your argument is Apple is the landlord where pe…

Whilst I agree with the specifics here, the problem is the general case. I don't agree that you should be allowed to post people's private, identifying data to a public forum witho…

That's side stepping the real problem very neatly though. Speaking as a citizen of a country with "real" identification laws, how would you like the banks to identify you? SSN? Abs…

Broadly I agree, but as a South African currently sitting in the economic capital of the country: The article is way off, with a mostly rubbish conclusion(edit). What happened to u…

Something being established is not a grand argument for it's usage. The reasons it got established are relavent, and if you feel the end result of said establishment is obtuse or i…

Strongly disagree. It's not intrinsic motivation, it's fear of failing. That's a terrible lesson to instill in children. I do agree that's a useful life skill, but that is really s…
