Hey Joseph, You're doing God's work and a national service that is IMHO worthy of a knighthood, the BBC front page is one of those rare places where a few little engineering cogs can really make a huge difference. Keep up the good

You're ignoring a lot of context being created by the parent comment. While the latencies may never directly compete with DRAM, planned densities are already more than favourable. Having a 2TB chunk of persistent memory mapped into you

There are a whole host of standards to support interoperability between v4-only->v6, v4/v6->v4, v6-only->v4 addressing. I know it doesn't answer your complaint, but really there is little "backwards compatible"

You're in software land, what is old is always new again. Try to dance around with the Wikipedia definition for serverless and get back to us when you've found a way to exclude the majority of old-style PHP hosting environments fr

The console only recently (<2 years I think) learned to speak ANSI/xterm-ish escapes, Linux mouse support requires quite a few of those and doubtlessly the model differs sufficiently from however the NT console API mouse worked to r

I think the video of this incident is frankly disgusting, but it's not clear without more context why the situation escalated to the degree it did. For example, UA fly another plane 3 hours 20 minutes later to the same destination (whi

Are we really so moronic that we need to wait for something to explode before we're ready to acknowledge the fire hazard that caused the explosion in the first place?

Is that our problem or Google's? You can point fingers at 50 different companies in the ecosystem, or you can collectively point the finger at the root cause. By the topic of this article, they're no longer the underdog when it co

I guess this means we can officially stop hating on Microsoft for having such a lax attitude towards security, considering their last OS to suffer from that attitude was released 16 years ago, and it accounts for less than 3% of present day

It's not sufficient due to certificate pinning, and it also completely short-circuits any browser-based security policies keyed on the certificate or options advertised in the protocol like SPDY. That would be the worst possible outcom

It needs to happen in-browser because of the modern prevalence of SSL. I think only Firefox has APIs powerful enough to intercept stuff on this level, and even those APIs are obsolete, so I think it really needs to be integrated straight i

There have been a few of these plugins floating around recently, and really everything that needs said about them appears in the comments already. Fake traffic is wasteful, hard to make look authentic, and only serves to create more records

Sorry for the terse (and let's face it, slightly unintentionally mean) comment, I just meant that the most interesting aspect of an allocator is not simply its performance, but how it copes with adverse conditions. Yours is already loc

Pretty graphs but insufficient analysis, not even a mention of fragmentation in the readme.

Kobos require nothing more than a 2 line shell script on an SD card to get telnet, after which, they publish their modified Qt sources, so you can even rebuild the UI framework without much effort, although I don't know much about keep

Subinterpreters still share a lock and suffer from compatibility issues with C extension modules as the module interface only exports a very primitive notion of per-subinterpreter state, they're pretty much not all that safe to use unl

Try hosting a web site that serves Iranian people or a variety of other embargoed countries on GCP. You can't, nor will you find any hint of it documented anywhere, or any legal indication things must be this way. At the simplest level

SPF and DKIM can be applied just fine to subdomains, I don't understand the suggestions made for email, yet there are good reasons to have a few extra domains, none which are actually mentioned: accidental cookie leakage and redundancy

Same here, only new thing I touched in 4 years has been GCP, and only then to discover I couldn't use it due to a ridiculous and completely undocumented embargo they implement for users in some countries. Same old Google crap ignoring

To be fair to CloudFlare, Google had a heap issue a few years back (maybe like 7 now) where internal flags and copies of argv (which Google use heavily for config) were clearly present in output from their HTTP frontends, including refere

It shouldn't be too difficult to feed an instrumented copy of the parser some fraction of their cached pages (after all, that's what they're for.. right?) and calculate a percentage of how many triggered e.g. valgrind, or jus
