Here is a technical overview:

The only way it could be better is if it were wrapped in bacon

However, each party needs to be sure that the identity of the other is who they expect, I.e. that a MitM is not occurring. Sometimes the best way to achieve that is an out-of-band key exchange

Dropped into the comments to mention socat. I use it regularly to debug serial and multicast issues or to lash up network logging for random shell scripts. It's a very valuable addition to the toolbox IMO.

Edit: somehow my phone managed to post this comment three times. I've deleted the others

I found the design page to be interesting reading

http://lld.llvm.org/design.html

Might as well ban the Bible while they're at it for stories of rape, incest and sodomy.

That article is simplistic. Sure, write code that you won't care about in the future like you don't care about it, but if you take that approach with anything requiring longterm reliability or maintenance then you're setting yourself up for failure. Essentially: Think about it. Use techniques and tricks where appropriate, but at least consciously make the decision to do a less than stellar job and document your reasoning. A couple of lines of comments justifying some weird and verbose approach might show to others that it wasn't the lack of mental capacity to come up with another implementation.

This is exactly what drew me to it as well; I was awed by the opportunity for so much learning. Anecdotally I've found the focus of the front page has shifted a little from hard-core CS (my degree) and maths topics to more startup and web-development oriented projects and articles. However, there is still often one or two articles that give me the hn hit of old.

I don't often comment or submit links, and when I do I don't really care for the karma beyond hoping I've provided something constructive, but despite the shift in focus I continually enjoy the spirited, structured and technical discussion that hn provides. Like gregpilling I read it daily, and would like to thank pg amongst others for continuing to curate such an interesting community.

You may want to look into Hardened Gentoo which does things along the lines you suggest, amongst other hardening techniques.

corbet has previously posted subscriber-only articles to hn, which I think is a reasonable endorsement of the action.

Separately, there's pretty much no better linux news source, and imo subscription is worthwhile.

They could publish the data in multiple formats, PDF and something actually useful if you're worried about someone at a library not having the tools. The point is, don't cripple the data from an analysis perspective.

I also use the cli heavily for the reasons you've listed. I also use vim as my primary editor so the prompt is only a ctrl+z or :sh away.

What do you find is complex about cherry-picks?

Probably by starting with the idea of writing an article gushing about sublime and working backwards in an attempt to not appear biased :p

+1 for xxd, great for debugging purposes e.g. analysing serial output from socat (also mentioned by another commentor below).

Along the lines of magic shell variables, there's also '!$', which selects the last argument of the previous command. Often I'm looking at different aspects of the same file:

    $ file foo
    $ ls -lh !$
    $ vim !$

In addition to ninite, pcdecrapifier[1] is also handy, even for cleaning machines that aren't brand new. Doesn't look like it supports windows 8 yet though.

Maybe you're capturing on a device that doesn't have the grunt or environment to run wireshark?

I don't think untog was talking about the overhead of executing zsh upon starting a new session so much as the mental overhead of the mode change from zsh specific features to those of another shell.

I'm sure crackers and scammers think so too ;)

Yeah I don't even remember the last time I used a Java applet. I've disabled the plugins without any repercussions so far.
