Your understanding is correct, but if your IT department puts a wildcard cert on your machine, it can MitM all your traffic (e.g. your company's firewall can say "Hi I am $SITE, here's a certificate to prove it" and your

Yeah. For "regular" DNS (not zone transfers), TCP is mostly used as a fallback.

Nit: DNS supports TCP, but most DNS traffic is still over UDP

TLDs, not root zones ;) The root zone is atop the DNS hierarchy and is usually denoted by a single dot, it contains all the top-level-domains.

I'd argue the opposite: If you already know _exactly_ what your code needs to do, you can "just implement it". I find TDD to be very helpful in the cases where I do _not_ know everything in advance, because it lets me take sm

I think this refers to circuit switching (in the old telephone networks, when you called someone, the connection had to be physically established at the "intersections" by the phone network operators) vs. packet switching (where t

I agree, the datascience / ML crowd is _probably_ more interested in having something simple and easy/fast to implement to put in front of their data than in having a proper web framework with all the bells and whistles a software

... how are squats "unhealthy"?

Speed. If your want to forward traffic at line rate (think 10/40/100 gbps per port), having the OS handle packets becomes a bottleneck.

Quad8 is a recursive resolver. You are referring to a system's local resolver (which is obviously also a resolver, so you are right on this regard). But still, this project is _also_ a resolver (although obviously not a complete one, i

But isn't the problem exactly that, that oftentimes we cannot know in advance how long it will take to implement X?

No.

Isn't that like... ultra slow?

> As the technology evolves I see there being a greater demand for deterministic responses from LLMs. I think we will see demand for it, but I also think it completely misses the nature of LLMs / for what they are most useful. Basic

Yup, you are correct - git stores snapshots of files, not diffs.

BGP Anycast (possibly in combination with DNS depending on geolocation). Basically you announce the same IP address from multiple locations, and BGP chooses the best* Route to reach that address. * Note that "best" does not nessec

Huh, I always thought the heat pipes are just plain copper (or similar heat-conducting material), never crossed my mind that there could be a cooling fluid inside. TIL!

Not necessarily, those meetings should be much shorter if you only plan for one week.
