2. Information that can be actively exploited, but can also be fixed so the previous disclosure is harmless. This means passwords, authentication tokens, etc. I wouldn't call the disclosure harmless. It's unknown if…
Tagging along on the top reply here, but does anyone else notice some serious HN gaming going on in this thread? Accounts commenting that have made 10 comments in 5 years, people defending CF that, after going through…
they only sampled a few thousand leaked responses out of over a million. The margin of error is 2.5% on conclusions because they didn't use enough data, not even close.
Also, a lot of web spiders are not benign. All sorts of bots troll the internet looking specifically for data leaks like publicly visible email addresses and SSN's. I'm sure they're having a field day.
antitrust is all bark with no bite these days. Most industries having 3-4 "competitors" that don't actually compete is the new norm. I wouldn't be amazed if a link is shown between this situation and the increasing…
In total, between 22 September 2016 and 18 February 2017 we now estimate based on our logs the bug was triggered 1,242,071 times. Wow, so just as bad as we thought. We did not find any passwords, credit cards, health…
realistically any hash table bigger than the 32 bit boundary will be well outside any CPU caches and possibly even ram. At these sizes the memory latency will dwarf CPU speed
The author seems mistaken about a couple things relating to hash tables. He doesn't seem aware that, by far, the main reason for using power-of-two hash table sizes is so you can use a simple bitshift to eliminate…
At this point I think I'm just going to start the blog I always planned but never did :). I've got about 10 pretty long articles buried in my docs folder about marketing and a bunch of other nonsense. I was never CEO/VP…
We were bootstrapped :) . Old school company that had been around for 20+ years, just needed a kick in the pants since advertising/marketing has changed immensely since the dawn of the internet. #5 is a killer for so…
1) Remade website to be more professional looking, faster, more focused towards SEO, mobile friendly. I could write many pages on this :) but following online guides will get you in the ballpark 2) Started writing…
it's bad code if you're writing it again. Everything you mentioned is something already handled for the developer through the browser/API's. It's like writing your own multithreading instead of using something provided…
the way inheritance works in JS leads to a ton of inelegant design patterns that need to be remembered and very inefficient handling of many casts because the prototype chain is literally just a linked list. It also…

I think it's around 5 years too late to prevent the complexity explosion :) JS has been object oriented since the beginning it just has an insane prototype based inheritance hierarchy that they're increasingly trying to…
If you're in the US ur gettin ripped off. I live in a really low cost of living area and make around 70. Most of my friends with 3+ years make around 90
It's mostly because the point of DPDK and similar is to go around a lot of the processing in kernel, and IPVS does exactly this. I'm surprised IPVS isn't more popular, it's built into the kernel and extremely fast. HTTP…
I would say Java is more comparable to C++. Language-wise the syntax of the two is similar, they came from around the same generation of languages, and they both have a prolific community and ginormous codebases. Also…
