Assuming you can detect what clock speed the device is running at, such an approach should still be able to work on different devices. Although with newer systems able to process multiple instructions per clock, as well as having clock sp

The Victorian ones are way worse, they contain a massive JWT blob, with a 512 byte signature, really difficult to scan on a lot of phones.

1 GB of lambda provisioned concurrency is $10.95 USD a month in us-east-1. That's what you pay for your lambda sitting there doing nothing. You can get an on-demand ec2 instance with 1 GB of RAM, for $9.13 USD a month, or $6.87 if you

Hit the nail on the head with this one. The pinging approach incredibly more cost-effective than provisioned concurrency.

You can write literally anything you want in a CDK/Pulumi program. Depending on how you write it, the outcome could be different every time. The generated outcome, ie a cloudformation template, is absolutely declarative, but the CD

Well yeah, I mentioned that at the end, CDK just produces a declarative cloudformation output. I think this is a good thing, but I wouldn't say that CDK is declarative, as you don't write declarative code.

by WatchDog 5y ago
CDK nor Pulumi are declarative. I've added the "agent SPOF", and "credentials" concern to Pulumi as well, it was an oversight. Admittedly, my experience with Pulumi is pretty small, but I don't think I'm w

The state of things as I see it: Terraform - (bad) HCL sucks, not a programming language. - (good) One tool for multiple service providers is nice. - (good) Fully open source. - (good) directly calling service API's makes it more debug

In contrast, I really like the simplistic functional elements added to a language, like the Java 8 stream API, but I feel like banging my head against a wall using scala with effects systems.

A lot of warnings against TLS based VPN solutions. I imagine these solutions are popular because they are more likely to function through corporate firewalls, where IPsec might be blocked. Unsurprisingly no mention of wireguard, as it&#x2

Uber once chose to switch from postgres to mysql, for performance reasons. There was a lot of debate and discussion on HN[0] about it. I think there is enough complexity in either system, that you can't make generalizations that a

Haven't used liveview, is it not possible to just implement some kind of heart-beating and re-connection logic?

I think a lot of people would rather have a functioning society, built on a lie, than the alternative. I don't think Nietzsche was ever really able to come up with a great alternative to religion, and he certainly didn't seem happ

Tesla have access to boat loads of capital in the public markets, they are spending heaps on AI, developing their own silicon, not only for the cars, but for their training computer as well. Who are the real players in the space? There mig

Perhaps, but 10 years ago you didn't have viable competitors with pure or near-pure camera based self-driving systems. Now we have little lightly funded companies like comma producing quite compelling experiences using cheap hardwar

Getting compromised by "clicking links or downloading attachments", implies some kind of technical vulnerability, beyond phishing alone.

I'm confused, twofold, first of all being that usbmuxd means you need to connect to a computer, second of all being that it seems usbmuxd works on various platforms, not just macOS?

Is there any icloud alternative backup, that doesn't involve connecting to a computer? It seems that it's possible for third party apps to backup certain data, like photos and contacts, but to do a full device backup you either

If your app is fully non-blocking, doesn't it make sense to just do everything on the one pool, CPU bound tasks and IO polling. Rather than passing messages between threads.

What options, if any, are there to reduce the remote attack surface on an ios device?

by WatchDog 5y ago
If they have a shell on the device, they can choose to persist it whenever they like. Should an ios update be released that patches their exploit, chances are, they can persist the exploit before the device installs the newest version.
