Edit (2023-01-04): A Korean translation of this article is now available here , thanks to Woojin Kim. Last September I started investigating a South Korean application with unusually high user numbers. It took me a while to even figure out what it really did, there being close to zero documentation. I eventually realized that the application is riddled with security issues and, despite being advertised as a security application, makes the issue it is supposed to address far, far worse.

It's tempting to think you're doing someone new a favor by initially holding them to lower standards on work, effort, or decision making. They're new! They need to find their feet! Yes and yes, but neither fact is helped by going easy on what good decisions, reasonable effort, and solid work needs to look like at your company. Now keeping the bar high for all isn't the same as expecting that everyone is going to meet it right away. Nobody hits the ground running . Don't. (BACK TO TOP)

One of my annual goals has been to lose some weight. Walking on a treadmill is boring, so I placed a Roku (streaming video system) with a monitor in front of it.

You might be surprised, as I was, to learn that Chrome exposes an API to notify you when the browser crashes on your page. It is part of a larger reporting API that is designed to give browsers a channel to inform you, the developer, of crashes and other things. In particular for a page crash you no longer have a page or JS context to receive the event, so the API instead POSTs some JSON to a URL you provide. The discrepancy turned out to be caused by a misconfiguration. (BACK TO TOP)

In my stint on Twitter, I heard about “e/acc”. It stands for effective accelerationism, and seems largely to be a way to mock Effective Altruists, the Catholic to the Protestant EAs (or reverse that?).

There are roughly three classes of language features: Features that the language is effectively designed around, such that you can’t add it after the fact. Laziness in Haskell, the borrow checker in Rust, etc. Features that heavily define how to use the language. Adding these are possible later, but would take a lot of design, engineering, and planning. I’d say pattern matching, algebraic data types, and async fall under here. The first is adding a separator, as lots of languages already do.5 .. (BACK TO TOP)

Introduction In episode 11, Bill highlighted the issue of identity verification and provided a solution to this problem. The solution proposed was to cryptographically sign a transaction to verify its authenticity. Bill chose to implement a solution making use of the Elliptic Curve Digital Signature Algorithm (ECDSA) as the public key can be extracted from a signature. (BACK TO TOP)
Introduction In episode 9, Bill introduced the idea of the genesis record and its role in his blockchain. As a recap, the genesis record will be used to customize the settings of his blockchain. The approach Bill takes here is similar to how Ethereum operates because he is storing the record in JSON format. In this video, Bill starts by defining the Go types his blockchain will use. The first type he defines will represent the genesis record. (BACK TO TOP)
Introduction In episode 10, Bill dove into the technical implementation of his genesis record and defined a custom Go type representing the record. While doing so, he provided an in-depth look at the reasoning behind the fields he included.. After declaring this type, Bill wrote a function that loads the genesis record from disk and onto memory. His function will use the standard library encoding/json package to load JSON data from a hard-coded file path. (BACK TO TOP)
There are many important meetings in your first ninety days as a new engineering leader, but one that’s both easy to forget and surprisingly important is your first meeting with the finance team. Generally, the finance team’s auditors won’t certify their annual financial audits unless they’ve followed GAAP, part of which is deciding whether to capitalize or expense each incurred cost. That said, most finance teams are much more focused on GAAP compliance than on maximizing capitalization. (BACK TO TOP)
Like most folks working in infrastructure engineering in 2014, I really enjoyed Google’s BeyondCorp whitepaper .

Oh boy. Yesterday's post has riled people up. A lot of them don't like what I said about the ACME protocol. I get the impression a few of these people haven't looked at the problem that needs to be solved in a different light. How about we give that a shot now? Let's just go through the steps for getting a secure web site going, and ignore the specifics of the protocol for the moment. First, the baseline assumptions: there's a key. There's a certificate signing request which references that key. (BACK TO TOP)
People sometimes ask me why I don't use Let's Encrypt, and it's a long story. It has a lot to do with just how damn evil the protocol is. It looks like it was created by people who had been drinking FAR too much of the web kool-aid, since it's chock full of terrible things. It should be a small amount of drama to start a process, receive a magic string, sock it away somewhere at a magic path, then poke the validator and say "go for it". Then you just check back and see whether it worked or not. (BACK TO TOP)
Just a hair over 10 years ago, I wrote a post lamenting the fact that my WiFi-only original iPad (which was new at the time) was probably a mistake. After all, if I took it outside my house and away from the one wireless network it knew, it was now cut off from the Internet. If someone stole it or if I left it behind somewhere, there would be no way to track it down or wipe it. Well, times change, and now that's no longer a concern. Yeah, that was a pretty bad call. How about that? (BACK TO TOP)
CMake is an open source multiplatform tool that you can use to help with build automation, testing, packaging, and the installation of software. One of the main advantages of CMake is that it supports generating build scripts for a wide variety of platforms including Windows , macOS, and Linux.

In this article, you’ll learn more about CMake and if it’s the right solution for you. (BACK TO TOP)
