Because when the grocery store employee picks the fruit for you online order they don’t care about getting the ripe ones with no blemishes. Additionally they seem to always pick the perishables with the closest expiry date. IE milk from the

Taurine is said to have an anti-anxiety effect. I have taken it for this reason and believe it is effective (or placebo ..). My assumption was it helps ease the stimulant effects of all the other stuff in energy drinks.

Around 10 years ago i worked in a company that had lots of software and physical VOIP phones. One of the models of phone had a pretty nice colour screen on it. I forget the brand .. it might have been polycom. At that time I was very much i

I have been suffering from gout for the last 4 years or so (36 y/o now) with roughly 1 attack per year, prominently in the right big toe. There is a history of gout in my family. More recently I've had the odd time where I have mi

Its really going to depend on budget. At this level of quality of speaker the accoustic properties of the room (and the location of the speakers) will have a bigger impact on the quality of the sound than spending more money on kit. I have

That's not even accounting that Hetzner doesn't bill incoming and internal traffic, which AWS does. This is incorrect. AWS does not charge for incoming traffic nor does it charge for internal traffic within the same zone.

We spend lot of time thinking about making our services resilient against failure at the infrastructure level yet the domain registrar is often overlooked. Not only do you have to worry about them making a technical mistake there is also th

Do we know that the kernel used in OSX is vulnerable at all? I haven’t found any discussion of it.

We had a large % of our longer running instances have scheduled reboots in Dec. Is it linked and if so does that mean AWS have already patched?

I wonder what 1.2Tb would do if pointed at a ELB or an AZ in AWS. Someone must have tried at some point but i've never heard of any widespread outages caused by DDOS on AWS. Is it just that bandwidth available to an AWS datacenter is t

This is cool. I dont think it would be useful in my case though. 99% of the time the cause of lag I see is some heavy inserts on the master. These hit the slaves at the same time so this wouldn't mitigate that issue. It got me to wonde

AWS does support ipv6 in ELBs in a fashion. ELBs will have both an ipv6 and a dual stack DNS entry created for them, in addition to the ipv4. example.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com (A Record) ipv6.example.us-east-1.elb.amazonaws.com (AAAA Reco

We use Riemann to track all requests on Apis amongst other things. Have become rather fond of it. It happily handles 40k events p/s on rather modest hardware. The dashboard is not the prettiest but it is functional. Overall it has prov
