Linux also has the ethos to choose boring technology. SHA2 has been here for so long and battle tested. For the majority of us, it is the natural choice. I'm not implying anything negative about SHA3/Blake/Keccak.

> AWS Lambda has already been adopted by nearly half of companies with infrastructure in AWS How was this measured? I'm probably friends with wrong people but only a very small percentage of the AWS users I know do not use lambda.

I'm pretty sure pretty much every low/mid range car in India has a custom fit horn that is loud more or less to a train.

Not the person you replied to but I disagree with this. I've been to Mumbai (and Delhi and a few other cities for that matter), and it is not for the safety. Take Ho Chi Minh City for example. There are more scooters there than people,

In Germany/Netherlands, this is called pfand. It's quite effecti e. Even if you don't bother to reclaim the pfand, someone else will.

I don't think it's possible from IDE configuration: there is only a single toggle for ligatures. The font is open source - may be you can build you own without the ligatures you don't need?

We should take a lesson from the FAQ about license. It is the simplest yet most useful one I have seen! -- May I install JetBrains Mono on my system and use it in any code editor? -> YES. May I make and print a poster with JetBrains Mono

This can have a huge impact. - Server log analytics will not be able to provide OS/Browser stats. - Default download pages (Detect OS automatically and redirect to the platform-specific download pages) would not work. - "m."

With a vanity domain, you can fully control the TTL values. All my sites use a vanity domain because it doesn't tie me to a particular CDN, and they have 86400 TTL. When you have a vanity domain like cdn.example.com, the recursive reso

WHOIS and DNS requests are made to nameservers run by the registry (not registrars), it's possible for the registry to front-run domains if they intend to.

Most TLDs run the bare minimum amount of nameservers required by ICANN, specially the newer TLDs. However, hundreds of nameservers scattered around the globe wouldn't help much either, because they just need to have faster responses to

It largerly depends on how you use it. For example, if you are using standard Google Fonts, you can pre-connect to the fonts file's hostname so the browser already has DNS resolved when the CSS file refers to the font files.

You can go ahead a step and `preconnect` to a particular URL if you know it. This includes dns prefetching but goes ahead and initializes an HTTP connection.

This is an argument I hear often, but I have yet to see an effective L7 DoS with the TLS handshake being the bottleneck. It's almost always the application code that gives up, rather than the CPU spikes due to TLS. I have a 1 vCPU 2GB

Brotli support in API clients are quite low. I run a small API service, and you'd be lucky to see API clients even using gzip.

Sites embedding said JS "analytics" files could have implemented HSTS and CSP with SRI, and this attack wouldn't exist.
