Here is the smoking gun, showing that this organization shot itself in the foot: > Docker first came in through a web application. At the time, it was an easy way for the developers to package and deploy it. They tried it and adopted it

This is a no-brainer for any LetsEncrypt user: - Take the amount you paid for certificates last year - Divide by any number, let's say 10 - Donate that amount to LetsEncrypt, and continue to get free certificates all year! I

I have to say: before I began to read through, I was already convinced the author's idea was not a good one. But by the time I finished, she convinced me that it was a good plan in her situation. There are lots of great tools in the Do

Would Whatsapp and Facebook Chat been end-to-end encrypted had it not been for the Snowden leaks? It's hard to say. But personally I believe it wouldn't have happened if the public perception of security had not been altered by hi

Thanks for providing that context. I believe this is the article you mentioned: https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/monkey-cage/wp/2015/05/...

The essential points underlying the overall argument are: 1) A more powerful programming language in the blockchain carries greater risk of bugs which could take down all nodes in the network, 2) multiple implementations are a bad idea, and

I can relate to a company not putting value on security, or thinking the cost of securing systems may be higher than the cost of getting hacked. I once worked for a company where I inherited a RESTful API. It stored the company's core

An exciting sub-project within Monero is the possibility of using I2P[0] as a transport layer[1]. I2P is an onion-routing network overlay similar to Tor, but different in that: - It focuses on internal services, rather than proxying out to

That is a fair point. If you're sure you have a regular subset of HTML, a regex is a great way to extract data from it. In my experience (again about once a year), I have always seen this done with HTML that is coming in from the wild.

I have a funny anecdote about CS. I am a CS dropout who has been working in startups for a few years. About once a year, I see another programmer making a common mistake, and I draw on my CS knowledge to help them out. The mistake is parsin

Google gives you the option to download all your data stored on their servers, across all Google products [1]. Unfortunately they do not give you an option to delete all your data, but most services have facilities for bulk-deleting [2].

This is a fringe opinion, but I personally wish the U.S. would make all forms of hacking and digital surveillance totally legal. Yes, legal, with no "I". I think this would drastically change the technology landscape, putting more

I think there's a big point that's being missed here. Carmack is conflating inlining code with writing functional code. These are different things. I'd agree that if the majority of your code is mutating state, it makes sense

Unless I'm mistaken, the site could be made reachable if only TPB would enable SSL between Cloudflare and their origin. Currently, Airtel is blocking based on the Host header. If they can't see the Host header, they'd have to

TL;DR During updates, Mongo moves a record from one position in the index to another position. It does this in-place without acquiring a lock. Thus during a read query, the index scan can miss the record being updated, even if the record ma
