You made the point that I was trying to make: implementations are not secure. A programming language can follow a philosophy but implementations never quite line up with the theory. We only use implementations of the theory and experienc

Do people really believe in more secure languages? Are they the same people that think switches make networks secure? Switches don't and neither does a given language. I recall a CTO that would not allow C++ development because he t

In the 90s I built a FreeBSD firewall using discarded PC parts. It took 10.5 hours to build world and kernel. There were 2 power outages that forced me to start over each time. I bought my first personal UPS to fix that problem. I would

It's interesting to watch ordinary people attempt to dabble in currency. How many criminal organizations, governments, and financial institutions (redundant?) the world over have people who wake up everyday just to manipulate the valu

So how long will it be before someone can take a picture of a person and find all the similar matches on Tinder modulo any profile preferences and desired attributes? Maybe save it for later and use it in a completely different location?

Sure, I'm already using that option. I had to go and find it on my own, at the time. It wasn't as simple as updating the ports collection and installing from ports, but I suppose it's not much different than waiting for a m

Programming doesn't have to be your passion. gasp Transition to a less demanding role, if needed, and look for other areas where you can contribute the result of your experience. For example, if you have passion for *BSD, some linux
