It is not far fetched given that "big boobs" is interpreted in a societal context which is dominated by male gaze. That is, big boobs is "artsy" and "funny" for a man, since he is the target audience of the joke. Someone at the other end of

No, the main point is to show how simple client verification actually is. This implementation is one step up on the application stack into a comfort zone which seems to be more acceptable by devs. I believe in design in depth, and by allowi

Not so different in theory. This just displays how little fuzz client certification can be on a higher level which is more easily approachable by web developers.

Side note: Firefox extensions aren't native code, they're written in JS. EDIT: I do however agree that chrome is more well designed. Firefox has been through a lot of iterations through the years.

This is an epic introduction into virtual machines for the brave C coder. Very neat and clean, thank you.

I haven't perceived that people think C is significantly scary (or evil). There are however many compelling reasons not too choose C in the present RAD/Web/Cloud/Solution Business world.

Got it. I wouldn't however say that the complexities of C is it's syntax (unless you're playing around with macros : ) ). But I guess the concept can be applied broadly, like remembering functions, headers and other language specifics.

Moving from Python to C is a very good move. It allows you to go from programming to inner workings, everyone should have a solid knowledge of C since it give you the tools to identify and correlate aspects of other languages to reality. I

Indeed, I currently get turned off by most books I pick up, simply because they start out on a too basic general level. If you however dig a little deeper you can usually find stuff that isn't too tutorialish. Like http://www.c-faq.com/top

It seems like the real solution would be to introduce low level guarantees and memory access (similar to Java) and the option to disable the GIL and C API extensions in CPython (until a new API is introduced?). Also, give the developers acc

I voted for displaying comment points, but I do agree that they might create something of an echo chamber where the "highest rated" comment is the one that decided where the topic is going. If this _was_ the case prior to removing comment p

"Awesome! Do you have any stats on how many people have installed Chrome Frame?" I found this question interesting, does anyone know of any viable source for this kind statistics? Is the user-agent for chrome frame distinguishable? Edit: Fo

Yes it does, however it doesn't provide granularity for multiple users of the same server, and unless you go for vanilla could be troublesome to customize through something like pam. I simply commented on the non-issue with creating private

Which in turn, incidentally leads back to DDG : ). Crazy good stuff has been going on with DDG the latest couple of months, I'm just glad I've finally found a search provider who takes these issues seriously!

I don't get it, why is setting up a private git repository on your own server a hassle? Assuming you have ssh access (compacted for clarity): ssh server "git init --bare repo/project.git" git clone server:repo/project.git Am I miss

There are so many instances where non-mathematical variables play an important role in authoring security conscious code. Yes, most security issues arise from not checking edge cases, but you have to know what they are. Mathematics will sur

The point is being up front and to the point, in spirit with "don't ask to ask, just ask". Most of these meta-answers are founded in the belief that the asker doesn't know what they are asking. And by supplying another set of questions inst

I personally loath meta answers like "why are you doing X and asking Y" instead of wasting the equivalent typing of explaining why X and Y is a bad idea. With that said, I usually find the most serious experts just quietly ignoring silly qu
