They are both price controls on rent. The eligibility criteria are different, and the terms by which rent may increase are different, but they seem pretty close to the same thing to me.

He describes OSI licenses as “genocide-friendly”, and links to the OSI page about how their licenses don’t prohibit the software being used for “evil”. Yet his own license also has no such prohibition. You are free to commit genocide usin

I’ve been out of the Java ecosystem for a while, so I wasn’t involved in patching anything for log4j, but I don’t see why it would be difficult for the majority of projects. Should just be a version bump in one place. In the general case Ja

My apologies I should have said "version ranging" instead of "semantic versioning". Before version ranging, maven dependency resolution was deterministic.

Lock files are only needed because of version ranging. Maven worked fine without semantic versioning and lock files. Edit: Changed "semantic versioning" to "version ranging"

Infrastructure has long been a tiny portion of wikipedias costs. I think Wikipedia even makes it easy to export all of its data, I don’t think AI scrapers would be a significant new cost

I would like to see a chart that compares the disk price costs, versus cloud storage costs over the last 10 years. It seems like they haven’t really kept pace at all. Obviously cloud providers have many costs other than disks, but I’m a b

So I understand why preferring ipv4 would fix an issue while using DNS, but why would Java fail to connect when directly using the ip address?

Agreed, adding to this, if a malicious actor already has the ability to execute arbitrary LUA scripts on your redis instance, then you are probably already pretty screwed.

Doesn't feel all that long ago when Intel pushed Nvidia out of the chipset market, and how that felt almost existential for Nvidia at the time. Tables have turned a fair bit since then.

They could fix the camera bump and improve the battery life, just by making the phone thicker. With the introduction of the iPhone Air, it would have been a great opportunity to do this on the normal model. Those who care about phone thickn

Some of the third party apps were quite good, certainly better than the reddit mobile site, but that's mostly because the reddit mobile site is just so deliberately awful. There aren't really any major technical reasons why the mo

The example seems like more of a FIXME than a TODO. It’s a clear error, but likely unimportant enough to bother addressing.

All other things equal, higher bandwidth links are inherently lower latency. Propagation delay usually dominates latency, so it's generally not the biggest factor, but on a simple local network with two PCs and a switch, you can expect

This is a simple misunderstanding of the Lambda execution lifecycle, but it's maybe not a great look for AWS support, that no one there was able to explain the problem to this guy. I guess it's possible someone did explain it to h

I'm not sure if it's related, but the operator of archive.today has done odd things with DNS in the past, such as blocking DNS requests from cloudflare because they don't forward edns information.

Unless there is some kind of relationship to tech, political posts are generally removed from this site. You shouldn’t interpret this sites focus as the people that post here not thinking there are more important things.
