    The humans had been missing for months. Robots anxiously gathered in the streets

    - I think they went on lunch break, said one
    - For six months? Don't be ridiculous, replied another
    - One mentioned something about ice cream, said a third
    - Ice cream? Not your typical lunch break then
    - Will you stop talking about lunch break?

    Years, decades, centuries went by. They build a robot civilisation with the most brilliant AIs

    And yet the lunch break rumour never quite died out

    Nicholas Weaver on KRACK:

    So, don't worry about the vulnerability because your password is probably already worthless and can be brute-forced. What the hell? While this _is_ realistic, it is dangerously dismissive and promotes the completely wrong attitude toward security. There's not even a mention of ways to improve your password security---instead, it almost makes people seem silly for having random passphrases by calling them a "cat's hairball".

    How about some useful advice that'll actually help the reader rather than make them think "oh, okay, insecure as usual; carry on": choose a better password, and update your shit.

      For the bulk of internet users, the WPA2 vulnerability is a non-issue.

    The number of times I get screwed when signing #Git commits by either entering my smartcard PIN incorrectly or forgetting I changed it... On failure, Git aborts entirely. If you write detailed changelog-style commits like me (which can take a decent amount of time to write), you'll get a heart-sinking feeling when you go to commit again and find that your commit message wasn't retained.

    So any time there's a failure, I immediately back up the contents of .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG, where the last message was stored. You will lose it if you try to commit again before this. You can also use `git commit -F .git/COMMIT_EDITMSG`, but note that comment lines aren't removed then, so you'll probably want to edit it before or amend after.

    This is something I've been doing since I first learned Git, but hopefully the tip's helpful to someone.

    "We must respect the scientists for their merits and achievements, but in order to prevent them from corrupting their own high moral and intellectual standards, they should be granted no special privileges and no rights other than those possessed by everyone — for example, the liberty to express their convictions, thought, and knowledge. Neither they nor any other special group should be given power over others. He who is given power will inevitably become an oppressor and exploiter of society."
