traceroute vs mtr When a packet travels across the Internet, it travels through multiple routers. The traceroute and mtr tools can be used to identify the routers a packet passes through between you and a given destination IP address. traceroute is a one-shot sort of tool whereas mtr runs and agg
This is an opinionated, “quick-start” guide to using passkeys as a web developer. It’s hopefully broadly applicable, but one size will never fit all authentication needs and this guide ignores everything that’s optional. So take it as a worked example, but not as gospel.
A while ago I took up the challenge to get Offensive Security Web Expert (OSWE) certified. During this journey I learned many awesome things. The most important lesson learned was that with source code and a debugger, I could find vulnerabilities exponentially faster than by using traditional Blackbox/Bug-Bounty…

At Open Whisper Systems, we’ve been developing open source “consumer-facing” software for the past four years. We want to share some of the things we’ve learned while doing it. As a software developer, I envy writers, musicians, and filmmakers. Unlike software, when they create something, it is...
Making performant dynamic manual memory management in C feel almost like garbage collection.
On GPT-3: meta-learning, scaling, implications, and deep theory. The scaling hypothesis: neural nets absorb data & compute, generalizing and becoming more Bayesian as problems get harder, manifesting new abilities even at trivial-by-global-standards-scale. The deep learning revolution has begun as foretold.
