I actually think the old keyword is quite clever. I'm sure it could make sense in some places.

It's really bad when you need a tl:dr on a security vulnerabilities release, it was a lot more bugs than I expected, I wonder if GitHub enterprises is just as bad?
Bino | 8 years ago | on: Why You Should Never Use Google Authenticator Again
If only there were a solution I could buy... ;) No, I do believe you should use Google Authenticator, it’s free, easy to implement and adds a lot of security over just passswords.

I feel they try to turn it into a feature... facepalm
Bino | 8 years ago | on: Does sponsorship of major OSS make a diff in your desire to work at a company?
I would say it all depends on why the do it, if there is a clear motive (like if they depend on it...then it makes sense for me and them and builds trustworthiness). But just sponsor something out of the blue - no. I don’t believe in random goodness when money is involved.

I say go for it, if you are not a key employee (there is no risk imho), you may just be a better fit in their other company.

Like it, as a runner and European citizen I always get confused if someone refers to American miles or not, but 5k is always 5000meters regardless? Do Americans who run ever talk about miles?

If you can, you should consider updating to 11.1 instead.
Bino | 8 years ago | on: NDJSON: newline-delimited JSON
It's useful alright, however every time I'm reading records in a stream I prefer to have it prefixed with the record size in bytes.
However, having a new line delimiter is sure easier than trying to find the end of a JSON structure.
Bino | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: Resources for building a programming language?
I would suggest you focus a lot on the design, research the history and design of other languages. Try to understand how they evolved and try to figure out their bad decisions on the way.
Eg.
Pythons PEP, PHP’s RFC, Mailinglists
Building the language itself is the easy part...
Bino | 8 years ago | on: Why undefined behavior may call a never-called function
I once wrote an optimizing brainfuck compiler, it ended up running the bf code (if no input) and just printing the output in a single instruction :P
Bino | 8 years ago | on: Why undefined behavior may call a never-called function
I think this case shows one of the pitfalls of compiled languages. If it can’t be optimized at compile time we’re out of luck so we aim too far.
Bino | 8 years ago | on: Ask HN: What domain do you use for your docs site?
I second that, it also allows moving and separation from different sites/publication systems (by DNS pointing). Also a valid concern: I seen main sites been redone/moved so many times while the docs stayed the same on its own subdomain...

So “meta projects” are now the most popular ones. It may reflect the non-developer mainstream who just found GitHub...

This one should really be up-voted to the frontpage.
Bino | 8 years ago | on: Lavabit Security Misconfiguration
It was unnecessary to split the protocol into two ports when STARTTLS came along shortly after. As for myself, I also thinks it's nice that you can partly identify the usage of a port by connecting to it.
Bino | 8 years ago | on: Lavabit Security Misconfiguration
I always favor STARTTLS in favor of implicit. I say so since implicit TLS on SMTP (465) is deprecated.
Bino | 8 years ago | on: Syria using 34 Blue Coat servers to spy on Internet users (2013)
Out of curiosity: How could Blue Coat had prevent this? There must surely been a middleman? We should probably not argue they should have a kill-switch in their product?
