They mention it’s your own BeyondCorp style proxy, but BeyondCorp does a lot more - you can have rules about attestation from the remote machine, and a lot of other stuff. BeyondCorp is being cargo culted all over the place, but most of the

With respect to energy, that’s apparently true. However, metabolism has non-energy needs which are supplied through food: vitamins, minerals, protein, and some fats that cannot be synthesized iirc. Though these needs are greatly reduced whe

I've worked with quite a few people who had "15 years of experience" which would be better described as "one year of experience practiced 15 times". The main thing that such an internship-apprenticeship system guara

The really canonical non-differentiable function is the Takagi/Blancmange Function[0] if you like things deterministic, and the Wiener Process[1] if you like stochastic processes. Both are everywhere-continuous, nowhere-differentiable.

One should set both ServerAliveInterval and ClientAliveInterval settings on ssh to a reasonably small time (e.g. 1 min or 5 min). Note that there's another setting {Server,Client}AliveCountMax which multiplies this to find the actual &

Most of them have no effective way of automating their work. Every piece of software (Excel? Word? Outlook? Autocad? Photoshop?) has its own system of automation if it has one at all, with many of the skills complicated to learn on one hand

That has not been true in forever on either iOS or Android, if it ever was. It is possible to reply to numbers bot listed in your contacts; and apparently it is possible to initiate chats with numbers by using a web api which triggers a pla

Probably a good thread to ask: A few years ago when looking for it, I was able to easily find deep-discharge 100Ah 12V lead-acid batteries at reasonable prices, which would have allowed one of my projects to go off-grid. However, what I cou

It used to be that way. But then, one day, Google announced that WhatsApp backups (a) no longer count towards your quota, and (b) are no longer encrypted. There are two beneficiaries of this change: 1) Intelligence and law enforcement age

VSCode was likely open sourced at all (in a limited way) because they were legally required to, having decided to use LGPLd WebKit/Blink; and their use of V8/Electron probably promoted this as well, even though that wasn’t mandate

Microsoft did promote it, at least in its early days, as an open and standard system, and the LSP as a way to go from MxN language specific IDE implementations to M+N. But tben, they make it 2xM+N by forbidding the use of their LSPs in othe

LMDB (and its modern fork MDBX), and kdb+/shakti make incredibly good use of mmap - I suspect it is possible to get similar performance from read(), but probably at 10x the implementation complexity.

The DMA needs to cooperate with the MMU which is on the CPU these days (and has been for almost 3 decades now). It's a lot of work to set up DMA correctly given physical<->logical memory mapping - so it's only worth it if yo

WhatsApp won't easily be dethroned. Personally, I've sandboxed it by buying an el-cheapo Android and exclusively running it on that phone (using it mostly through WhatsApp web). It's too late for the world now, though, 99.99%
