The problem is license costs. IBM makes a great system but almost all their customers have been working hard to replace it, not because of issues with the quality but the high lice…

Apeldoorn? I don't know any government offices there. Most of it seems to concentrate in The Hague, with some agencies spread through the country.

Kind of weird article. If you want cars to stay out of bike lanes, make them protected like in here in the Netherlands. But also why do people expect to be taken to a bike lane rat…

I never noticed any issues, actually. I guess the zsh base is solid and stable.

He calls it the "miracle", I want to shout "It's not a miracle! It's other people!" I feel he's depending on others' kindness and not even really acknowledging them. It's like he f…

I tried fish for a while but as someone who heavily used bash before I couldn't get used to the new language. I also didn't feel they the language was much better than bash, at lea…

I'm surprised there's no mention about disclosing the bug to IBM?. Usually these kinds of disclosures have a timeline showing when they told the vendor about the bug and when it wa…

Maybe there's a key idea for something to replace StackOverflow as a human tech Q&A forum: Having a system which somehow incentivizes asking and answering these sorts of challengin…

Thanks for the answers! Will look into this some more. I'm not based in the US I'm afraid but thanks for mentioning it.

Hey, I just saw your talk and for someone who's not really up to date with the latest AI developments it's eye opening what you got going in SoC investigations. I personally work a…

Seems it's overloaded now. I like the UX though. My usual question with any hosting is how do you avoid this being abused by hackers, scammers, etc.? Right now it's easy to just cr…

Some talks which sound really brilliant. I love [0] exploiting a memory leak for years before it's fixed. Also [1] I'm really curious about the custom crypto used in Chinese apps. …

Oh, thanks. I learned something new. Never knew that different subdomains are considered the same "site", but MDN confirms this[0]. This shows just how complex these matters are im…

What do you mean with clientside Javascript CSRF?

What do you mean with same-site cross-origin requests?

I'm surprised there's no mention of the SameSite cookie attribute, I'd consider that to be the modern CSRF protection and it's easy, just a cookie flag: https://scotthelme.co.uk/cs…

> Leaders generally don't rule for life in functioning countries, and the mortality of individual Kims has not helped the people of North Korea. I guess you'd say most people in th…

As I said in another comment, I'm against immortality because old people need to make way for new generations. But this comment is cute. I like the idea that we'd be there and we'r…

Not the argument I expected. I'm also against people living forever, but more because it's a way for society to go forward and get rid of old ways of thinking. There's a saying tha…

Even experts create C/C++ code that is routinely exploited in the wild (see: pegasus malware, Zerodium, Windows zero days, Chrome zero days, etc.). No, please don't vibe code anyth…

So the AI basically hallucinates a webapp? I guess any user can just run something /api/getdatabase/dumppasswords and it will give any user the passwords? or /webapp?html= alert() …

Jimmy Maher is really a great history writer. The way he writes is very compelling. He made a whole history of windows which I somehow read through completely[0]. I can also recomm…

I wish we could just let software "die" aka be stable without constant updates. For software that doesn't have a significant attack surface (security) it'd be amazing. But because …

The Python 2-3 transition and some developments after made it definitely not so boring for me, but hopefully it'll be more stable in the coming decades ;). "Cannot live without" is…
