One of the most catastrophical failure modes of XFS was fixed in 2007 [0]. Or at least that's what is said. I never dared touch XFS again after losing a fs to it, so I can't really confirm what it looks like today. [0] https:&#x2

Using a Numpy-based program as an example of how Python can be fast is a bit strange. It shows that Python can be fast enough if you leave the heavy computational parts to libraries written in other languages . Which is interesting, but do

Well, that's if you assume that Cars-as-a-Service don't need to be stored anywhere and magical disappear when they are not in use. I know Google has magical fairy powers, but last I checked, a self-driving car is exactly the same

Looking at it from a B2B perspective, I can think of a lot of business situations where my own country spying on the data I store is acceptable, while any other country spying on it is not. Any sort of work with your local aerospace/nu

I don't think the changes they are doing at the moment have much security value. They aren't working on fixing OpenSSL security flaws. They are obliterating all the layers of cross-platform compatibility that make the code more co

Note that this statement is about OpenVPN Access Server, the commercial distribution of OpenVPN. There is a bit more info in the "community" wiki [0]. It seems the key point is that TLS-auth would already mitigate the vulnerabilit

There are probably open source projects who are in much greater need of $10,000 than Docker, which already has millions in funding.

There is a port in the works [0], and apparently they decided to go with a rewrite instead of just a port. I'm not sure of the exact reasoning, but that could explain why it takes them time. [0] https://github.com/boto&

The number of compatible packages is irrelevant. All it takes is one critical package to be stuck on 2.7. It's not like I can just decide to drop the dependency on boto and twisted from all my work code and migrate to something else. I

I don't see how that makes sense. If all you need is a server that is up 24/7, rent it by the month. You don't need information to make an educated choice, since they are pretty much all cheaper than EC2.

Even if Gmail loads tells the marketer that you have opened the message (as people are pointing out, it's a bit unclear), there are still some advantages. It protects you from the guys at marketer tracking your user-agent, your ip addr

I agree they could do it, but people upthread are suggesting that Google doesn't do that, and only loads the image when you open the message.

Mass-email senders probably would put a unique identifier in the image url (different for all users), so Google will open each image, because it can't know before loading them that it's the same image.

A shell script that can spin up VirtualBox images and run puppet to provision them isn't very difficult to make and would vastly outperform vagrant. Vagrant isn't very good as a piece of software, it's very good as a standard

That defeats the purpose. I think the whole point of a warrant canary is that you have to do something, every week/month, to confirm that you never had to obey a warrant. And (presumably, I don't think it has been tried in courts

It works both ways. In the initial stages of a product lifetime, you shouldn't focus on code quality. Releasing a crappy product beats waiting until it is well polished before releasing it, every single time. But you should absolutely

OwnCloud is quite nice, but its Dropbox-like feature isn't his best asset. We have big shared folders and the client app does weird stuff sometimes (and given the way things are architected, I'm not confident it will change). On t

By telling him to charge more, what he's saying is more or less to drop the consumer market and sell to bigger businesses. It would probably be better for Tarsnap's financial health, but it wouldn't make it a better product f

Yes, they do deduplication. I'm using Cyphertite for some of my backups. Works fine, and the pricing is a bit more convenient than Tarsnap for home users.

The "many tabs" situation where Firefox performs better than Chrome is more like 50+ or 100+ tabs than 20. People have widely different use cases with tabs. My experience is that performance on Chrome degrades beyond 30 or 40 tabs
