My Software Security on-line course is now available for free at mhicks.me/software_secur…

This course was created in late 2014. It is old enough that I don't feel comfortable charging for it, but still relevant enough to be useful, at least in parts. Enjoy!

My on-line behavior says I've walked away already, but amplifying Emery Berger to encourage everyone else to do so.

Now I have to develop the habit of social media'ing somewhere else! See mhicks.me for coordinates

PL X: What's the best reference for the idea of a singleton type?

The earliest I can think of is this Stephanie Weirich paper from 1998, but it refers to singleton type without citation, as if the idea was already firmly part of the lexicon. dl.acm.org/doi/pdf/10.114…

At a loss for words. Thanks for sharing. These emails only reinforce the feeling that senior decisionmakers are unfair! Senior people: If you want to help, commit to serve your juniors fairly, just as you would have wanted when you were junior. And call out those who don't.

The state of computer security is like having all of our buildings made of wood but we're celebrating arsonists.
