Not handing out antibiotics left and right is a way to counter antimicrobial resistance, a serious threat to the bigger population if gone out of control. It should only be used when absolutely needed. Seeing how casually some use it is qui

The vault doesn’t need to access each system to rotate the keys. It just needs to sign a new token with a short expiry date. The system reading the token can verify its integrity based on the signature. Now the vault obviously must have a m

Git does not tamper with file encoding. Only way file content modification can happen is automatic CRLF conversion, but that’s a local setting, not affecting the public archive, unless .gitattributes is present, not the case here. It is com

Why is this a bad thing? Assume one guy in my team does ALTER SYSTEM on a cloud managed DB. Next month he leaves, later someone redeploys the DB, nothing works and nobody knows why. Declarative config and IaC has become standard operations

Source? This very case itself, of the accelerator pedal coming loose and jamming, was in fact a mechanical problem. Other comments above have more examples of stuck accelerator wires and more. Mechanics wear and tear and allow for human ove

A more realistic example is parking. If a company in a high demand downtown area offers discounted parking for all their employees, that can be seen as a benefit worth equivalent to what it would cost to park next door. Even for those that

Dumping everything you have onto the kitchen counter is also very natural. It just doesn’t remain effective for long. The cabinets are a pretty darn useful invention. Don’t mix work surface with storage.

In 2D, the diagonal across a 1x1 rectangle is longer than just its sides. A naive implementation of just adding the x and y vectors together will become their sum, totaling up to the diagonal length, 1.41x faster. In 3d even more. This is a

Bad example, because drinking vs flushing water can have real differences in properties affecting their price, availability and quality. Just like QoS can be meaningful to differentiate low-latency vs high bandwidth. The problem starts when

This is what big CDN and cloud vendors do. You can see them as part of the infrastructure. For big users of cloud you can get dedicated connections, for example Azure ExpressRoute. That's a complete different game than that between end

If your insurers goal is revenue i suggest you go look for a new mutual insurance. (no, this is not some hippie collective thing, in many countries this is the norm, see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mutual_insurance )

There are actually insurances that to some degree work proactively to reduce the risk of all its members in the pool. My home insurance offer free pest-control, because they know that if this is neglected, it will cost a lot more for them.

Fair. I still wouldn’t want to have such a fallback available by default. Being stronger than an even worse option doesn’t change that. Because it eliminates the security of the strongest option.

Apache Parquet as data format on disk seems to be popular these days for similar DIY log/time series applications. It can be appended locally and flushed to S3 for persistence.

Signing transactions usually take you back to the 2FA app here, where the amount and receiver is repeated. Even if someone hijacks my computers web browser, the worst they can do is see my statements, any attempt to transfer out will pop up

SMS is magnitudes less secure than the Secure Enclave in my phone. Fallback should never be the weakest link in a security chain. Especially not in something as high stakes as your banking login. I can’t remember how I got my first bank tok

A game like mario cart should have two modes. Party mode, where everybody is playing on the same terms. Expert mode, where macro plays a bigger role. Even during parties, the properties of choosing different characters do make the game more

In reality, the number of dimensions will always be more than 2, often several magnitudes more. Is there a good way to visualize the Pareto front for higher dimensions?

Those parking lots are not owned by the stores. It's usually by the city or some other property investor. If it happens to be a store-owned parking that charges per hour, it's to prevent abuse from drivers going to other stores ne

Not even big cards like Visa or Mastercard work everywhere. Instead you need an app installed on your phone (alipay or wechat), where you transfer cash into the app in advance. All with Chinese as the only language. (From what i heard, ther

There is still a watch() mechanism that from a consumers point of view hide the originating event of an update. Otherwise if all you wanted was functions, just use functions. When watch fires out of control, you need debugging tools to unde

This looks sufficiently advanced to warrant some language support. This could be a much more powerful feature if signal-dependencies were discovered statically, rather than after use in runtime. If you’ve reached the point where you agree t

The examples only show simple values. What happens when mutating nested objects and arrays? Other frameworks usually struggle a lot with this. With workarounds like having to override equality functions in useMemo() or call .set after a mut
