One of the few features I like on a Mac is that you can hold a key and it pops up a little menu which lets you chose many common variations of the letter without having your fingers do gymnastics on the keyboard. This can be done without ke

If this driver is so minimal that it is nothing more but an interface to userspace, opening the source would benefit everybody. It really means nothing when a company audits itself.

You can find a lot of examples in the copy protection space, other examples are Starforce or the Sony rootkit. None of that came without problems for the users...

The latest version of ICQ was huge (think Windows XP skin), at this point I started using the QIP alternative client which was even more compact than the first version of the original client. When everybody started using Miranda, Pidgin fil

ICQ had a powerful global search, you could search by nickname, real name, country, city, date of birth and so on. Back in the day nicknames were still pretty unique.

I would not call NoSQL data stores more agile. While it is true that you can add new columns at any point in time the same cannot be said about supporting new access patterns you didn't design for.

Depends on the amount of data, reports, pipelines... If the company is small you might not have any of these problems. Every Mom&Pop store has some sort of data to run the business but they don't need a "data" person. Onc

Why are lower stock prices pay cuts? Strike price is rarely fixed, usually it is some percantage of current stock price. So if stock price falls you get more shares. You have no way of knowing what the price might be when you are able to ex

I love Postgres as much as the next guy but there are three things that really annoy me: Postgres is still laid out for for 9 to 5 workloads, accumulating garbage during the day and running vacuum at night. Autovacuum just doesn't cut

Well obviously you don't need to maintain a background thread and a connection so you would be able to send out much more data using the same resources by offloading the TCP workload to the proxy. If the service you are sending data to

I use Zoom, Hangouts, Slack and WebEx. Out of those Zoom has the best call quality, and it is the only solution out of the 4 on which huge meetings (50+ persons) are workable.

That's weird, when I open a meeting link (which would open the native client) at the bottom of the page it says "If you cannot download or run the application, join from your browser.". I have the native client and it still s

What's the problem with Postgres on PyPy? Running fine in production here.

Instacart operates in Canada and from what I hear it's pretty much the same as in the US.

AWS is all about the API, some services don't even have a UI. Once you start using the API AWS is the best option out there.

Akamai has hundrads of cache boxes at German ISPs, including at this one. There are some issues at play here: 1. This ISP in particular has extremely weird peering rules, they only do paid private peering (more expensive than other transit

And for further clarification, you won't see much Netflix traffic there because the big ISPs have Netflix caches within their infrastructure.

If you know their motives, would you please be kind enough to share them with us? As an outsider it is kind of hard to see through superficial news posts.

One could argue that pumping huge amounts of data with psycopg2 is slow in any case due to the blocking nature of the network calls. I recently copied some big tables (100M+ rows) into a different system, when I switched the simple script t

Running on Kubernetes this is easy, it's one of the first issues you hit. Every DNS request for external domains turns into 10 if you don't explicitly configure FQDNs (dot at the end). This is because in the default configuration

Why would they get unlimited support from "top tier" AWS engineers? A company like Robinhood doesn't strike me as a strong candidate for contracting AWS Enterprise support. For the price you get almost nothing out of it.

Are there any official plans for 2FA in Wireguard?

by aeyes 7y ago
It would be a fraction of that without API gateway, not sure what it is needed for. I deploy directly to Lambda@Edge and it is an order of magnitude cheaper.

This product is for the European market, in pretty much every European city traffic flows at these speeds. Maybe not at rush hour but the day has more hours. In Europe cities are small on average and traffic flows ok. Big cities like London

These speed limited vehicles which can't go with the flow in a city are a danger because people will be overtaking, cutting in and generally be annoyed by them. This is already a problem with scooters and some motorbikes. Cheap vehicle

No, this is working for free. In a developer test you are given a generic problem.
