If managers come to developers with problems that are NP complete, no matter how well they transfer the idea/vision, or set time expectations, the problem cannot be solved efficien…

You could also get a free Udacity account and watch the Georgia Tech CS Master classes (OMSCS). Algorithms, Machine Learning, Operating Systems, etc. It's a good program.

This is my biggest issue with Python. I absolutely love the language, but Python 3 ought to be Python 3 no matter where/how you got it. If you are using 3.5 and I'm using 3.7 we ou…

If you majored in CS at university, you probably suffered through a lot of it. It sinks in after awhile and is rather useful.

I did use it then and I never experienced that. I bet it was some unrelated coincidence. They would not do that.

I have never heard this. Can you provide a link with more details?

I hope we keep it. It matches the maps I have from 7th grade.

Right, thanks. And I hope my question does not sound too critical. I was just genuinely curious why JS was used. I think JS is fine for small to mid-sized tasks, prototyping and te…

I never imagined someone would write a recursive DNS sever in javascript. Have they explained why they chose javascript? It can't perform well nor scale and they even sort of admit…

Absolutely, but a great idea when combined with other defensive tactics. Obscurity is why armies use camouflage.

I use CoreDNS as a stub resolver to do DNS over TLS. It works great. https://coredns.io/

It's 2^15 rounds of pbkdf2 with long inputs. There is no master password as nothing is stored. Good luck.

This is one reason why I believe that browser based password managers are flawed. I've written about this in the past (link below). These apps are popular with normal people (due t…

I like to think that Go is C for the Cloud. And don't let detractors get you down. No matter what you do, or how successful you are, there will always be critics. Ignore them.

Ken Thompson wrote B which is the direct predecessor of C. He was and is certainly a language designer and implementer. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/B_(programming_language)

C would recognize it, but not over-react. Log it and continue rather than going full abort/self destruct which is what ada did.

Absolutely. This warning seems disingenuous and will confuse many normal people. DNS over HTTPs and DNS over TLS are good things and increase our privacy. People should switch to t…

IT admins at your org can enable or disable 2FA methods allowed via the Duo administration console. Many US edus disable TOTP.

I think the point is that relying on phone calls and DTMF tones for two factor authentication is trivial to bypass. Anyone can record DTMF tones in a voicemail message and forward …
