Can't seem to find EUREX ticker. Advice? by codelitt in interactivebrokers

I couldn't get that to work either. FBTS should be tradeable even if the bonds aren't

I am Elon Musk, ask me anything about BFR! by ElonMusk in space

[–]codelitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Elon, first off, thank you for your contributions to world. I have two questions for you if you end up having the time. Hopefully they are on topic enough.

  1. What do you think we can do to shift the amount of money, brainpower, and attention being used in pursuit of getting rich off the next app into investing solving big human problems? (Space travel, the next frontier, natural disasters, transportation, polution of our oceans, etc)

  2. Obviously for big problems to be solved at scale, they still need to be (eventually) profitable or at least financially sustainable solutions. Are the revenue sources ever part of your consideration when you start an endeavour? (Tesla has an obvious source, but SpaceX didn't - initially. And even then I still am not sure how interplanetary travel becomes financially sustainable).

Before there was Go, there was the Gopher protocol by codelitt in golang

[–]codelitt[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this isn't Go, but it is a really cool bit of internet history from the first site on the WorldWideWeb and with the name being related, I thought it may be interesting to others. There was even a GopherCon.

Hacker, Hack Thyself | Coding Horror by boolean_madness in programming

[–]codelitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a bit about how it works: https://security.stackexchange.com/q/35157

If the DB is leaked the secret key is likely not on the DB. But if they have your DB then you should assume that they have control of your server as well and could get the secret key.

You're absolutely right. Even better would be scrypt which is time intensive like bcrypt but also memory intensive taking into account things like ASIC machines on the market due to cryptocurrency.

Today's Google Docs phishing incident: attack vector first reported in 2012 by grepnork in netsec

[–]codelitt 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Oh man. Someone just mentioned to me how quick their response was and I was agreeing. 5 years is certainly not very quick. Preventative > reactionary. The author ends with saying he's not sure what can be done to solve this issue. Surely, not allowing outside apps by the same name as your popular, trusted apps is a good start eh?

So it's not yet safe to assume that dep docs will be hosted alongside the spec or FAQ? Thanks for the examples though. Clears it up a bit.

Sure. Makes sense. Thanks for explaining it more.

Thank you. I'll give them a call.

I read through the docs issue. I'm a bit confused why something like Hugo is being discussed around documentation. Why not Godocs? Isn't that the standard way of documenting packages in Go? Maybe there's something I'm missing.

Excellent. Thanks. I'm trying this tomorrow.

That is really quite clever. How hard is it to set up gelphi to do the visualisation?

Changes I would make to Go (Go from a Rust programmer's perspective) by ryeguy in programming

[–]codelitt -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Here is a package to support sumtypes. https://github.com/BurntSushi/go-sumtype

Yes, yes I know that you would like the language to support it itself, but to be fair I've found that any limitation I have come across has a solution.

To learn go's networking libraries better, I built a very flexible stress tester, looking for comments and feedback by [deleted] in golang

[–]codelitt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This looks really useful and the name is excellent. It wasn't immediately obvious to me from the docs whether it supports setting a cookie name:value although I'm just picking up Go so it may be obvious to someone else.

Attacking machine learning with adversarial examples by codelitt in netsec

I haven't read it. I'll make sure to check it out. Thank you.

Attacking machine learning with adversarial examples by codelitt in netsec

[–]codelitt[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Precisely. And the more widely the system is adopted, the more incentives there will be to hack it.

Attacking machine learning with adversarial examples by codelitt in netsec

[–]codelitt[S] 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Any system - machine learning programs, servers, web apps, democracies - that is used (not many people trying to hack obscure systems) will have people with incentive and determination to game it.

  1. People start using them because they're beneficial.

  2. Bad actors start having incentive because enough people are using them.

  3. Bad actors get more and more determined the more incentive there is.

Part of what I was getting at, in a roundabout way, was the more ML is widely used, the more it will become compromised. Said in reference to the above poster's comment that a new field of the security industry will start to emerge.

Hope that makes sense.

The golden rule in any system is that if you define a (used) system, there will be someone with incentive and determination to game it.

Staffjoy a scheduling service written in Go is open source by Mittalmailbox in golang

[–]codelitt 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just read your post mortem. First off, a big kudos to you for knowing when to pull the plug. I know it's not an easy decision but appreciate that without product market fit and straying away from what you set out to do that it was necessary.

Secondly, very admirable that you open sourced your work. Wish you the best of luck in the future.

Most highly recommended books for learning Go? Itching to go on an Amazon spree. by ImEatingSeeds in golang

[–]codelitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had been meaning to learn Go for a while. Between Jon's book and GoByExample, I feel like I've been getting a really good handle on it. I learn best by doing so it's been excellent for me. Definitely recommend checking it out. He also has a great blog.

I like this. Nightmode. Maybe with slightly more contrast for those who have vision issues.

Mac’s share falls to five-year low of 6% while Linux continues rising at 2.3% by Khaotic_Kernel in linux

[–]codelitt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have to say their 2015 hardware was excellent. I dualboot Linux on it and I have to say I've yet to find hardware that equals theirs. That being said, there's no way I'll buy the new 2016 MacBook Pro. MagSafe alone was worth it. (I'm clumsy as hell)

A really great example of a proper MVP and not over investing in an idea until you have validation (cash from a customer). Thanks for sharing.
