Ask HN: How do you responsibly report security bugs to open-source projects?
18 by WinonaRyder | 7 comments on Hacker News.
I found a DOS vulnerability in an Open Source project whose maintainer seems to be MIA at the moment. I found it in-the-wild, but not as an exploit so I've only made minimal effort to contact said maintainer - no surprise I haven't gotten a response so far. I don't want to draw any attention to it in a bug report and I'm not sure it's OK to dig up email addresses from commit logs either. It also got me thinking: why don't we have a Bug Bounty-like program for Open Source projects as a whole. What I mean is somewhere where we can post sensitive bugs (even for no pay) and have someone who knows what they're doing guide the process of reporting it responsibly. I know some big projects have this, but e.g. look at the mountain of dependencies that most projects are built on - many of them barely maintained.

Ask HN: How do I choose the right resource to learn CS fundamentals?
8 by 8589934591 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
I am trying to learn CS on my own. But there are so many resources available online for every course from many of the top universities. For example: For intro courses: * Computer science an interdisciplinary approach (princeton) * CS61A - UCB * Introduction to CS and programming (MIT) * Stanford * CMU Data Structures and Algorithms: * Princeton Algorithms * CS61B - UCB * Stanford Algorithms course * MIT Algorithms * CMU Apart from this you have multiple books on each topic - Data Structures/Algorithms, Discrete Mathematics, Theory of Computation, Operating systems, Networks, and so on. Apart from these you also have resources like teachyourselfcs, ossu, functionalcs.github.io/curriculum/. I am attracted by the resources/online/books posted by courses in UCB/Princeton/MIT/Stanford/CMU. At the same time I get boggled down and overwhelmed that I have soooooooooo many materials to cover. Intro courses aren't that big of a deal since I am able to recognize/solve most questions fairly easily in multiple resources. But my next step of Data structures and algorithms is overwhelming that I am unable to start somewhere. How do you recommend to choose the right resource (online/book) for each topic/course? Is it worth going through multiple university courses/books for the same topic?

Ask HN: How do those eMMC Windows laptops work?
4 by brundolf | 4 comments on Hacker News.
I was just shopping around for a low-end Windows laptop and discovered a new trend: machines that have 64gb or 128gb internal storage on "eMMC", which research suggests is similar to what's used in phones, and then they have a micro SD card slot for expansion (also like phones). I take it the OS lives on the eMMC and not something even weirder like a ROM chip? Do user programs and files go there too or can they only go on the SD? How does it all affect things like partitioning? Presumably this is a response to the Chromebook-pocalypse but it still feels very strange and mysterious to me for now

Ask HN: How Can I Learn Music Theory
13 by deanstag | 3 comments on Hacker News.
I self taught myself a few things over the years and I can play my way through a lot of songs. But I'd like to dig deeper into music theory and have never been able to sift through a vast array of music theory blogs and tutorials to find something that made sense. I want a different perspective from the HN crowd. How did you teach yourself music theory?
