Yes, a secret key like this could have made this breach much less concerning. Assuming you trust the company to not also lose this data (that they generate and claim to not store). What I was really hoping to find was a…
I initially assumed I would be safe because of 2FA. Sadly it looks like this is not the case, the second factor is used to access the encrypted data, not decrypt the data. As the attacker already has the encrypted data,…
This makes me think of something Antoine de Saint-Exupery said, "Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away."
Not sure how I missed that, thanks.
If your employer is happy with your performance then you are probably "good enough" as you say. However if you truly do always want to be improving your ability as a software engineer, then you are in luck, this field…
My favorite unpacking snippet is rotating a matrix >>> matrix = [(1,2,3),(4,5,6),(7,8,9)] >>> list(zip(*matrix)) [(1, 4, 7), (2, 5, 8), (3, 6, 9)] Not as readable as a real maths library, but pretty cool and…
I think most people, at some level, know this and accept it. I think the shock comes when you think how long this information is kept for, and what that means. i.e. each year they can advertise age appropriate birthday…
I also agree that it is not a helpful term. I like to think we are all 10x developers. The question of a 1x developer should be how to grow their productivity (assuming they are motivated to do so). Less productive…
I try and mitigate the password management single point of failure with two factor authentication. Obviously that it not an option for every site but access to my password manager, alone, will not provide access to my…
It might be interesting to some to know that relatively recently (2016) PEP 523 ( https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0523/ ) was created which provides a more efficient alternative to PyEval_SetTrace or…
I also have trouble keeping mac windows where I left them with external displays attached. I invested $15 in stay https://cordlessdog.com/stay/ I would not say the problem is solved (it's not going to solve artifacts,…
It looks very useful thanks for the image and sponsoring events like this!
This was just mentioned today at north bay python. Another alternative for a fast speed up by changing your base image is trying out the pypy images.
Looks like it defaults to providing a python2 2.7.12 environment. I don't see anyway of selecting python3, any one found the option? Or are they only supporting Python2?
Could the model 3 be a very expensive video conferencing platform?
I could imagine some firearm owners being willing to trade 100% reliability to prevent a casual accident. I imagine some firearm sales are for more recreational purposes.
Having moved to the US from a country that had a universal health care system, the idea of choosing a doctor was quite strange to me. Luckily I have not really had a need, however my colleges have suggested that when…
Another (cheaper?) solution would be to randomise the location of the keys each unlock attempt. It would cause me a massive problem - I basically only remember my pattern
> I've gotten every job I've ever interviewed for I once said this to a friend. He then suggested maybe I wasn't being as ambitious as I could be in the roles I was seeking. Gave me some food for thought.
I recently re-visited the rubiks cube as a holiday project. It really is quite accessible now with online guides and videos. I think about an hour a day for 5 days took me from never having solved a cube to being able…
As the poster doesn't this gives Trump the power to manipulate markets with nothing more than a tweet? You could argue he already has this power, but before the message needed to resonate with a large collective of…
Looks like Cisco did not sign either. 9 of the largest 15 IT companies in the world are US owned[1] Looks like 5 of them did not sign up (HP, Amazon, IBM, Dell and Cisco) and 4 did (Apple, Microsoft, Alphabet and Intel)…
When I see speed bumps/humps/ramps I sometimes think of all the effort that has lead to durable, smooth roads. While these traffic calming methods no doubt work, a badly made road would also slow drivers down.
Good tip, I defaulted to using sorted which is almost as fast (but not quite)
Totally agree. I find dedicated video conferencing equipment works really well for this case. Although I guess I work in the industry so get a lot of good equipment.
