I think the parent comments point was that it’s difficult, if not impossible, to verify the security of even a particular hash. It’s still vulnerable to the same dependency chain vulnerabilities as pinning to latest, but instead locking in

I think this is honestly less about the notoriety of .com, and more about the lack of affordable and available domains for startups to purchase. Got a five letter named startup? That’ll cost you tens of thousands of dollars, IF you can even

Always happy to see further development in the field of battery chemistry, but I temper my expectations with the realities of both cost and difficulty to mass produce. More investment and breakthroughs are good, and they push the industry f

Keep in mind that in order for a nuclear explosion to occur, a very precisely timed series of explosions must occur within the device to trigger fission (and then potentially fusion, depending on the type of device). If the inbound missile

Another thing to note about garbage-collected languages (like Java with the G1 collector) is that blocks of memory will often be *copied* to other parts of the physical memory as part of compaction phase [1] (see quote), in order to be able

I think one thing that's being skirted past by the author with regards to allowing freecam movement is that freecam is the #1 way to cause motion sickness in VR. The purpose of the realism isn't _just_ to keep the user engaged&#x2

Personally I feel that this is a step in the right direction, albeit at the cost of some user pain in the short term. Prepaid SIMs are already manufactured, packaged, and shipped to convenience stores, so why not a Prepaid eSIM QR code? I i

Of course it is. EV charging doesn’t exist in a vacuum, nor do gasoline prices. In most situations the electricity is still derived from fossil fuels of some form, with peak power coming from natural gas plants. Until the grid itself is pri

I'm sure this will be replacing the gas tax, not in addition to it. /s In actuality I do believe there should be a "fair" way for EVs (which I think this tax is probably targeting, as they currently do not pay gas taxe

HOW? Google Cloud Platform has MASSIVE markups compared to equivalent service providers, either from "the big three" or smaller service operators. These smaller service operators have far less margin to work with, yet manage to no

Would love to see if this is actually a thing (already have purchased the package for my M3, otherwise I'd go test it myself). If so, it should be changed, but I can't imagine this is actually how it works as we would have heard o

Not when we don't control the game client. We're the largest Minecraft server in the world (220k peak concurrent users) yet we operate entirely as a third party with no involvement from Microsoft.

I would say the exact opposite in some ways for teams who are not using AWS yet. My team for example has been operating bare metal for 8 years now, and we know how to do that. Transitioning our team to the "bespoke way" that AWS d

Working in realtime games that require high bandwidth usage, AWS and basically every other public cloud is fundamentally unusable for us because of this exact problem. Our bare metal infrastructure for the Hypixel Minecraft network uses 3-4

We had a pretty bad experience with our company as well, being bounced along nearly half a dozen sales reps (each of whom insisted on having a meeting) before actually managing to get a quote, which was ludicrously high for the one or two f

Honestly this sounds more like what I'd regularly expect for _any_ new purchase of high value. Many people rush into buying "the hottest thing" without doing their proper research ahead of time, determining what the impact on

This type of incident is exactly why I dislike identity federation as a service. Yes it's difficult to get right, and you open yourself up to additional risk and technical complexity to do the federation yourself, but simultaneously ho

While I can definitely agree that there's shortcomings in putting all your eggs in one basket, this seems to be more of a problem of the lack of interconnectivity between the Texas grid and the rest of the US. They chose to keep a tota
