You can always encrypt on the client, yes. But it is surprising that an entity such as Google doesn't understand that links between datacenters have multiple points out of Google's control where traffic can be intercepted.

Now wait... It isn't surprising that inside the datacenters most traffic flows unencrypted, but not encrypting links between datacenters? Well...

The experts may be looking for tumors and not gorillas, but what if it wasn't a gorilla but also not a tumor? Imagine a doctor performing an ultrasound on a pregnant woman... A tumor may very well go unnoticed even if the doctor looks

Great. Then, when I get around to upgrade (never before 10.9.1), most of the kinks would have already been spotted and most (hopefully) fixed.

The last time I built something on Qt was some 10 years ago, but it was the only time where I really enjoyed programming in C++. Underappreciated indeed.

What are your issues with Exchange? Actually, it was Exchange (at least since 2007SP1) that made me start thinking that it was actually possible for Microsoft to produce extremely reliable software.

Don't know how OO Calc compares to Excel today, but I stopped using it after having an unfixed issue(1) open for a few years that made it impossible to produce a simple line graph with more than about 2000 points without slowing down t

If you don't stay for the minimum number of days that you have to as an advance notice, I'd say that (if the UK is similar to other EU countries) you'd have to compensate your employer for that. And that would mean something

In Portugal, we have either contracts that renew yearly (where you are forced to give a two-weeks notice) or contracts that are "permanent", where you have to give a months' notice (under two years) or two months notice (over

Firefox 23.0.1 on Windows here. No extensions other than Firebug 1.12.1.

What's up with this trend of doing stuff that only works on Chrome? On Firefox this works for a minute and then stops working.

No surprise here. Long path names have always been a pain on Windows, from not being able to open files to not being able to restore previous versions, backups, etc. Hitting these limits is very common on file servers.

"An EC10 can consolidate several racks of Linux blades into its zVM hypervisor" So can a couple of beefier blades running VMware, for a fraction of the cost.

That's a totally ludicrous argument. There are plenty of assholes in the open source world, some of them are even at the helm of pretty significant projects. Linus, however, does not seem to be one of them, merely for the fact that his

But it's debatable that it actually scares anyone off... This is not about grinding newcomers to the LKML, this is about the type of communication between people that have known each other for quite some time, and are well aware of eac

I fully agree. Some people call this being transparent . Let people see what you really feel, and let them be sure that when they see your approval, they can be damn sure you are really approving and not just faking it. Now, there is a dif

I love these discussions about text vs. binary protocols. I especially love the part where people defend binary protocols because they are more "efficient" and don't eat as much bandwith or processing resources. May I remind

Well, so I won't tell you about the vendors that give you the stare if you change the root password on their devices from the factory default. Like, "You changed the sysadmin password? Why?" ~sigh~

Let's just, for a moment, entertain this radical notion that many sysadmins are actually programmers that just don't want to do software development as a profession. I know that, for most people here, this is very strange: who wou

The problem is that now a Pro account (the way to get no ads) costs twice as much. Maybe the old interface could have used some polish, but the new one goes overboard cramming photos together and hiding metadata/comments. It looks like it i

"Give it time." Flickr was in need of a facelift, but not a complete overhaul. This just seems to me like a rehash of Delicious (the difference being that Flickr is still a part of Yahoo): redesign the whole thing to make it more "social" a

This idea of OSless application frameworks over VM hypervisors is nice. In my day we used to call them "processes".

I'm not saying that it's a standards violation or anything like that. I'm not even arguing against GET retries, but only against them being default. Bad behavior from apps you don't control is a fact of life. Ignoring it doesn't make it go

by CrLf 14y ago
That's a pretty broad statement to make... You are assuming that out there only "your app" exists. Actually, many times "your app" is somebody else's app that you bought or an app that somebody else develops and you don't have any control o

Proxy servers aren't just useful for load balancing. I'd say that this isn't the average use case for Internet-facing HTTP reverse proxies at all (people get all worked up by the big boys, but that's not what most Internet applications are

Typing isn't just coding. Even if you code a lot, you probably spend more time typing other things than code. The importance of typing fast is not letting your typing slow you down.

Funny enough, in every discussion that I have about this subject typing never comes up... Indeed there are a lot of people in this profession than can't type properly. I wonder if this isn't one of the underlying issues when discussing CLIs
