Ask HN: How do you responsibly report security bugs to open-source projects? 19 by WinonaRyder | 8 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? 19 by 8589934591 | 5 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 mater...
