Can you work on whatever stresses you out at work? If not, find a job that doesn't stress you out?

Looking at the source it took me < 5 minutes to find the actual vuln =/. Drupal saying "Just migrate away" is not the correct way to handle this disclosure. Some people can't switch immediately. A patch should be made

And yet people think I'm crazy for wanting to wrap get time functions so code can be tested...

Ah, yes some areas are lacking. I am more concerned about correctness though. Do you ever find math material that is completely wrong on Wikipedia? Stuff like number theory, abstract algebra, and category theory seem to hold up when I c

Curious, what areas do you find are usually flat out wrong? The math sections seem to be pretty good. A friend found a flaw in a crypto algorithm though.

I remember asking for a smaller monitor and getting some weird looks. To much screen space and I'm always turning my head left and right, was hurting my neck. I prefer virtual desktops and a tiling window manager.

They're pirates, and probably will kill you either way. Best to jump ship and hit em with some ads.

That's really inspiring that you started your own business! I would love to hear more about what you do. I'm dealing with some personal stuff and feel like I'm in the same boat, having to start my own business to have the f

Usually I diagram the very high level architecture of the program. Anything lower is to volatile and wouldn't reflect the design due to code changing all the time.

Root by itself does not break security entirely. Selinux policies and capabilities assigned to binaries can be used to drastically mitigate privileged processes from doing much harm.

Not a fan of solely using fingerprints for authentication. Good systems allow you to rotate keys. I only got 10 fingerprints.

Can you go into more details? Why did something take 30 minutes or longer to build? Was the environment being cleaned every time? Was an artifact server not being used?

Category theory! It's cool to learn recognize how simpler math concepts apply to computing. Ie, associativity allows for map/reduce

"Public-key encryption was revolutionary for a simple reason. It solved the age-old security problem of key distribution." Not by itself. That's what protocols are used for. A weak protocol would allow for an attacker to int

This sounds very similar to the Time attack from 2013. https://youtu.be/rTIpFfTp3-w . I hope they got credited. They used a timing side channel attack to extract data from a response when compression was enabled and user

My first real job was with a small non tech company. They wanted to move to a digital system for processing orders. Did you teach yourself most of what you know before going to college? If so, up play that factor. Being able to teach your
