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 efficiently. And, unless the developers have been trained in CS

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 ought to be able to share code and things just work.

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 testing ideas. However, for real DNS servers, used by a lot of

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 to convenience), but long-term, we should not trust web

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 them.

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 calls to that number.

Does oathtool take stdin? Last time I looked it did not. I keep my TOTP secrets PGP encrypted and pipe them to goathgen. $ gpg -d encrypted-secret.txt | goathgen https://github.com/w8rbt/goathgen

Sorry, I don't mean that as snark. Many people born after 2000 have known nothing but Gmail as email and are surprised to learn that other email systems/providers exist.
24.
by w8rbt 7y ago
Gmail was not the first email program (which is what the OP asked about). Gmail came several decades after email was invented and already in widespread use. You may or may not realize this fact (depending on your age).

Slack is nothing at all like email. It's proprietary, non-federated and has built-in data discovery/spying mechanisms to record every click/keystroke made by users.

Awesome news. Go is C for the Cloud. Can I trademark that? ;)

Yes, I don't mind if it shows up in the index. I have nothing to hide. That just seems wasteful and clutterish. If too much of that occurs, the index could be littered with it. Sort of like old PGP keys that never go away.

Thank you for this. It seems they've thought of almost everything we do.

This is probably a dumb question, but here goes... I'm testing go modules with an internal project that uses a private github.com repo. It depends on other public go packages and modules is nice to manage those but the general public w
