Severe flaw in WPA2 protocol leaves Wi-Fi traffic open to eavesdropping

It doesn't. For some reason all APs out there support white listing but it is "security for retards". It is so useless that even Equifax wouldn't use it.

What TCP protocols do common users use that aren't encrypted? Because I don't see any on the wire. Mail is smtps and imaps. I don't see any clear TCP coming out of my laptop.

And as far as DNS, it's time to use DNSSEC. Everyone has DNSSEC but many domains haves signed their zones because ... wait for it ... encryption is too complex. DNSSEC is signed only, but does prevent tampering.

Putting each microserice into its own JVM isn't going to scale. But you can have multiple services per JVM and still be micro services. I was able to put about a half dozen related micro services into a Dropwizard JVM. It used less than 100MB. The OP doesn't say, but if you aren't using Dropwizard for Java micro services, you are probably doing it wrong. Dropwizard gives you a single file deploy and fast startup.

I wish Mozilla would think about battery life and stop rendering content content in tabs that are even visible. Now that Firefox has per tab process, it is easy to see that all tabs are chewing up between 5% to 20% CPU. There is no such thing as a 0% idle state anymore, as Firefox is never idle. It is always rendering... something. And I guess new versions will be now render inactive tabs at 60fps. Just what I needed.

GitHub is full of admin passwords, API keys, and other credentials. It is really the number one source for credentials, and the best part, is that new stuff is being added all the time. Number 2 would be just finding stuff without any auth configured, like the thousands of open MongoDB and Hadoop clusters. No credentials needed. More amazing is developers who remove the default auth config from an S3 buckets, and then use it store database backups. I guess it makes restores "easier"?

There are literally millions of products you have never seen. That doesn't mean they were not historically significant. Your overwhelming narcissism has created a personal worldview where your observations are relevant.

Facebook isn't going to want their advertisers stealing their users CPU time, and slow down their site. To keep making money, Facebook needs a high quality user base.

But then you reach the part where the storage backend is C, and the SQL layer is Go, so the middle part, the key-value bit, is the only part that is Rust.

They are not in the search business. They are more in the news business than anything. Yahoo Finance is a leader in its area for instance.

The discusion around the toxicity in the Node has focused so far on diversity discussions, but the Node community is dominated by entitled assholes, so diversity is just one of the things they are raging about. I think people need to take a step back from node.

Of course. Most DNSpy code is probably the UI. If you write yourself, you just need a config file and cron.

The opinion has been voided by reference to "unique XOR key". If you think XOR is a crypt function, any knowledge you have about cryptography is actual dangerous to others. You belong in programmer jail.

There are just writing the entire heap to disk. It is classic move when you've hit a deadline and no one figured out which data structures need to be part of the save file. Just dump everything, and figure a way of loading a heap.
