I find it troubling that the CEO of Cloudflare would attempt to deflect their culpability for a bug this serious onto Google for not cleaning up Cloudflare's mess fast enough. Don't use CF, and after seeing behavior like this, don

Does anyone with a strong understanding of internetworking, peering and transit not see the difference between QOS for technical reasons and things like zero rating? It seems a lot of people are invested in muddying the difference.

Why are so many questions about the background of people displaying knowledge in this thread? That is what I'm finding disturbing. I don't know anything about nerve gas, but do know about a couple topics that I suspect would tri

I think you're conceptually close, but wrong. My money's on something like this: https://techdocs.altium.com/display/DMAN/Design+Data+Managem... Edit: much better link than the above: http://w

Whining self-pity is usually bullying jerks' other go-to mood. I honestly don't expect their behavior to change. I no longer use Uber, although this is a useful post - I never got around to actually deleting the account.

I don't have a pet precisely because I try to see things from its (theoretic) perspective. I love cats, and would have one in an instant if I were home more. But as it stands, the poor thing would just be locked in a boring house by it

There's a certain (supposed) billionaire who wants a big wall. Not quite as inspiring to me personally, but, well, tastes vary, I guess. Also, he's planning to spend your money on it, not his.

And the legacy energy companies are still raking billions in subsidies every year, even before you get to things that aren't counted that way. And the industrial farmers are still subsidized to grow various things. And FedEx has a huge

That's just not possible to authoritatively state. The best you can do is "this shouldn't normally cause a noticeable impact on most systems". As just one example, what you're stat()ing over NFS with a busy, flaky a

Not a windows person, so I can't speak to how the directory is treated, but I've watched enough people run applications from the Downloads directory to wonder about it.

That may be the rule for particularized searches (I don't know one way or the other), but "papers please" road checkpoints are common[1]. U.S. citizens are theoretically not required to show papers. In practice, theory and pr

Your argument is that privacy and security stances for web browsing should be driven by what is appropriate for the 10-and-under crowd?

Can you describe what is "knee jerk" about HTTPS everywhere? It sounds like you're saying that you believe HTTPS is a bad solution to (presumably) the problem of surveillance-friendly plaintext comms via browser. But I'd

A righteous rant.

You appear to be confusing the message archive limits with the number of user limits. The first is (loudly) disclosed. The second, apparently not.

Again, I see point of disagreement, other than an odd bit of defensiveness about ORMs.

About 10 years ago, when I learned about the EURion Constellation[1], I made a T-shirt with the pattern on it. It sort-of worked - a photo taken at the right distance would frequently cause a copy machine to refuse to copy it. It was twitch

Unless my reading ability is broken, we seem to be agreeing. I said I have never seen one that doesn't have one. My point being that ORMs can't fully replace SQL, and the proof is they all provide an escape hatch.

Someone seems to write one of these every few years about whatever the flavor of the month is. I recall reading one from sometime in the early 2000s about Hibernate that read the same way. And another one for one of the Perl ORMs before tha

I know it is not currently impossible, but I don't trust that the current "policy" will continue. Personally, not talking about virtual GPUs. (I mean, that's cool stuff, but that's not my use case.) I'm glad yo

Yeah, Nvidia rather sucks at cleaning up after themselves, for whatever reason. The main reason I'm not buying another card from them is their stance towards Linux in general and their stance towards PCI virtualization in particular. I

Don't forget the infamous NOP bug that made all the headlines in the late 90s, when certain values of NOP would actually do something.

That's less a scheme than a market. Governments can, in fact, create them, if they throw enough of (our) money at the idea. And people were saying that 10 years ago (and properly-scaled versions of the same quite a bit earlier). James

pf's syntax is much easier to reason about than, for instance, iptables. I find myself writing tiny little scripts to emit iptables syntax from something resembling a pythonic-pf, just because I make fewer mistakes when dealing with it

Yes. I know two functional junkies. One was born into a lot of wealth, the other isn't insanely rich, but is comfortable and no longer has to work. Your last sentence is exactly right. Neither of them will ever face legal action. But t
