Against DNSSEC
This is a repost promoting content originally published elsewhere. See more things Dan's reposted.
All secure crypto on the Internet assumes that the DNS lookup from names to IP addresses are insecure. Securing those DNS lookups therefore enables no meaningful security. DNSSEC does make some attacks against insecure sites harder. But it doesn’t make those attacks infeasible, so sites still need to adopt secure transports like TLS. With TLS properly configured, DNSSEC adds nothing…
Troy Hunt: HTTPS adoption has reached the tipping point
This is a repost promoting content originally published elsewhere. See more things Dan's reposted.
That’s it – I’m calling it – HTTPS adoption has now reached the moment of critical mass where it’s gathering enough momentum that it will very shortly become “the norm” rather than the exception it so frequently was in the past. In just the last few months, there’s been some really significant things happen that have caused me to make this call, here’s why I think we’re now at that tipping point…
Extremely Positive People Aren’t as Good at Empathy | Big Think

People with extremely sunny attitudes find it difficult to empathize with people who are recounting a negative experience, according to a study recently published at PLOS ONE. Ironically, positive people also reported being better at empathizing than did people who labelled themselves as slightly less than bubbly…
How do you make programmers work 60-80 hours per week?
This is a repost promoting content originally published elsewhere. See more things Dan's reposted.
Original question from Quora:
Programmers in our startup usually put 8 hours and go home. I keep reading stories about 80+ hour weeks. How do you make them work longer hours? Do we have to pay overtime? We gave few of them some equity, but it doesn’t seem to work.
My Answer:
I’m going to tell you a secret, so please listen closely.
No programmers really work 60-80 hours a week, especially in a 5 day span. That is a 12-16 hour day, 5 days a week.
I promise you that any company that has programmers “working” that many hours is really only getting 2-4 hours of real work out of them each day. The rest of the time will be filled with pointless meetings, a fair amount of web browsing, and then a whole lot of looking busy…

This is in no way going to be a comprehensive guide on how to get started with open source; its going to be more of a description of my journey.
This might help you if you’re a beginner struggling to make your way into open source...
Adactio: JournalCode (p)reviews

I’m not a big fan of job titles. I’ve always had trouble defining what I do as a noun—I much prefer verbs (“I make websites” sounds fine, but “website maker” sounds kind of weird).
Mind you, the real issue is not finding the right words to describe what I do, but rather figuring out just what the heck it is that I actually do in the first place…
