Buffer Overflows are nothing new. A second year Computer Science student would have caused a buffer overflow, most likely by accident, half a dozen times. I think this is a good read for anyone in InfoSec. The sentiment that Buffer Overflow's are a thing of a past and no longer important couldn't be furthur from the truth. Type-safe languages that abstract memory protection from the developer need to be safe from Buffer Overflows.

I had, and still partly have a hard time understanding how Quantum Computers work. There are several books that describe the topic. But if you are looking for a light reading before getting a book, I think the first paper on the list is a great start.

I love doing all of my own little projects in
C. Now, I don't have to write my own array's and hashtables. Looking forward to using this.

The Perfect Language. Intresting read for the intersection of languages and mathematics. Would framework written and designed in one language evolve differently than a simular framework in a different language?

Albert Einstein is one my favorite physicists of all time. Einstein’s mind was so beyond his time that even he himself went to his grave not fully comfortable with his theories. 100 years ago, his Theory of General Relativity predicted Gravitational Waves (waves that ripple in the fabric of space-time). These waves were generally considered theoretical and deemed too small to detect with out instrumentations on small scale. It was predicted that these waves could be detected in an event of a massive event. Such as the Big Bang. Unfortunately, we weren't invite to that event. However, we happen to observe an event big enough. I cannot wait for implications of this discovery to make it’s way out to our understanding of the cosmos.
Gravitational waves detected 100 years after Einstein's prediction
Then I got excited and attempted to read Leptogenesis from Gravity Waves in Models of Inflation

I often like to read full writeups of CVE's to learn of more ways to secure the software I write.

I love crypto; and it's future is very exciting to me.

First posting for links, so why not start it with my favorite language. This small article talks about how to develop in C in 2016. Many recent grads are coming out of school having learned the original way "to C".
