New blog post: A safety warning for men in open-source

· Traduire

From kafkatrap to honeytrap

esr.ibiblio.org

I received a disturbing warning today from a source I trust. The short version is: if you are any kind of open-source leader or senior figure who is male, do not be alone with any female, ever, at ...

Some people have this odd effect on me. The harder they insist that they don't intend X, the more certain I become that they're lying and intend exactly X.

And now, from the serial liar who brought you "If you like your doctor, you can keep your doctor"...

NTPsec is not quite a full rewrite

In the wake of the Ars Technica article on NTP vulnerabilities, ans Slashdot coverage, there has been sharply increased public interest in the work NTPsec is doing. A lot of people have gotten the ...

NTPsec has an internal timeline for first release.

I won't speak the date yet, because I'm just the tech lead; it's the program manager's job to make public commitments when we're ready to, and not mine. (I like not having that responsibility. for once; it's a relaxing change.)

But it's not going to be long now. Not long at all.

I have seen the feature. I think I may have even used it? I'm not doing any system work lately so I have not been mucking about with computers much these days. I'm basically in the middle of my upgrade cycle here. The good times. This PC needs a new DVD drive though. The one in it is snotted up. I'll get right on that. It has been broken for about a year now, and I honestly don't miss it all that much. I don't miss mucking about with computers either. I hold off doing that as long as I can.

For the record, I used "dog whistle" to describe the phrase "common sense" in connection with gun policy a week before Schlichter wrote this. "Gunlighting" isn't mine, though.

I might want to find a Smashburger, locally. Haven't bothered otherwise since I moved.

Rosemary and garlic are important ingredients when I make roasted potatoes.

Yes x 10. This guy nails it.

I especially liked #9, which identifies a real problem I hadn't yet noticed at conscious level. Too many young programmers overinvest in hugely complex fad technologies and end up stranded with irrelevant skillsets when they crash.

OOP is overrated/overused. Thankfully, modern C++ robustly supports functional styles too.

I generally dislike linking to partisan political magazines. But there are some news stories the mainstream media won't touch with a bargepole, and this is one of them.

The bottom line: "Gun free zones" are deathtraps.

As of a few minutes ago, the amount of code I have successfully removed from NTP's original 227KLOC has reached 130KLOC. There's a hair under 97KLOC left - it's 43% of its original size

And yeah, it still works.

wrt build systems, any opinions on things like fabricate.py which automate the build and the dependencies so you can just script your build and it figures out deps for you?

Histoire

Description

Hacker, philosopher, troublemaker, theorist of open source

Présentation

I wrote the basic theory of and propaganda for open source. I'm also, in no particular order, a science fiction fan, a libertarian, a musician, a martial artist and shooter, a neopagan, an occasionally bestselling author, and a strategy gamer.

Vos plus belles réussites

I wrote the book on open source - and it made the bestseller lists. My code is relied on by every browser, game console, and Android phone in the world. I have a black belt in Tae Kwon Do. I've been published in Analog. I've been a session musician on two records. I married the archetypal red-headed gamer chick.
