You didn't read the code. What it tries to do is aim to standardize execution time of a function to a degree larger than the time it takes. Of course that isn't possible. But the jitter will be due to other things than the time it

I answered a sibling of yours with similar concerns.

If those operations have a similar cap they can't be measured either. If the load is too high, autoscaling will probably add a node.

I don't think so. What I have read is a passive attacker just listening to requests and responses. time.sleep() granularity is in microseconds.

by Beltiras 4y ago
There are defenses against those attacks. You can put a maximum on the input for example. The idea here is that you can make the time jitter depend on things besides the thing being calculated. I'd hope that anyone having to employ cod

Put together a decorator in Python that does time.sleep to get really close to constant time operations. Am I understanding the problem wrong? I'd think that something like that could be implemented in any programming language that nee

At home I use VMs for work environments (usually Ubuntu desktop VMs). Home PC is a gaming computer. All my laptops run Ubuntu.

I think it spoke to the desperation of the situation, not that it was a solution worthy of being called "a cure".

Even if they don't have a legal obligation to do so, they sure seem to pick that heuristic to the exclusion of other pursuits quite often.

Every time I read a monorepo story my takeaway is that it's a really bad idea. Segregation of responsibility is a good thing.

We probably wouldn't have the LHC now if the results hadn't been applicable to blowing stuff up for previous incarnations of it.

For the sake of people you care about. Speaking from recent experience. Loved ones have an easier time grieving if they don't have to tackle banks/government/vendor issues as well. I feel it incumbent on me to maintain my aff

Sharepoint management is one. Maybe that one is going away now in the age of Teams, or maybe there's conterintuitively more need than before. I know there's a lot of need for COBOL in old systems and nobody but NOBODY is picking u

Don't feel like you need to know everything when you start. A friend of mine just got hired to his first posting after uni. He will spend 9 months at least learning the ropes of the job. Reason why is that it's very esoteric and n

It's a question of sample size. There might be frequent events out there that kill the entire mission but we've been lucky so far. This might be an anomalously "noisy" period. We just need more data to make the determina

A single incident will not give you any sort of sense for how often this happens. It could be luck either way. Might be this was a relatively calm period and it happens way more often in the future or incredibly unlucky and we never see ano

I wish we could move away from using postmortem. I know how the term is used in tech is a bit different but I've been chewed out for it (worked adjacent to pharma where postmortem has different connotations). Retrospective. Please.

If you crack it is there anything preventing using the same tech to get a whole host of measurements like vitamin levels or other blood components? I'm imagining you are going down the same path as oxygen saturation meters except it&#x
