We also need to consider that even with the rapidly improving costs of renewbales, the dollars per GwH generated are still beyond nuclear, and require orders of magnitude more space, which not all countries have available. "Wildly expe

Representative democracy is all about the acknowledgement of different views, so policies are often compromises or cop-outs. So not only is it both, it is an acknowledgement of recent history and current attitudes in various countries aroun

While the parent comment essentially reflects my view over the last few years, your points above are what I have come to understand more recently, so I am a bit conflicted about what the best way forward is. In addition, I think that pragma

Source? All I can find is "Pricing and related information on StarCraft: Remastered will be announced at a later date."

Ah, yeah I forgot about that. It doesn't make a Diablo 2 remastering any less likely though, IMO, as opposed to a Diablo one. This is what I remember seeing: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/blizzard-looking-to-re

Since it won't even be using a 3D engine (let alone any modern APIs like DX 12) I would think that any tweaks needed for WINE to run it well should be pretty minor. Using that same logic though, I would have thought that making a Linux

A new game. My understanding is that SC:R will be a new purchase, while the original StarCraft Anthology becomes free for everyone. So your key won't be terribly helpful. Makes sense to me - they've put a bit of time and money in

Given the job descriptions which Blizzard had out for a while before this release, I think it's Diablo 1 & 2 which are more likely to find themselves remastered next.

I have a GS63 from MSI which has the power button on the side. It can't be activated while the lid is closed, to prevent just that. Hopefully these guys have done the same thing...

NBN state is less than stellar, a vast majority of suburbs have no NBN at all, and a very small minority have actual fibre to the premise. Unmetered plans are becoming more common but are only "affordable" ($60-70 a month) at the

They do, it's just not very good. Each VPS gets one IPv6 address (instead of a /64 block as you might expect), and the address is also not tied to the server if you ever power it down and then up again.

I didn't know Online was related to Free! I used their insanely cheap €2-per-month mobile plan when I lived in France for 6 months last year. Amazing value, they seem very popular for DSL too (though I didn't use that). Back in Ge

By "changed everything to sell x64 VPS" I guess you mean "Added VPS offerings alongside their bare metal ARM servers"? I have snapshots of my Scaleway servers sitting there right now. I've also never experienced any

I've just had one small $5 VPS with them for about a year now. No downtime, no complaints. Since my needs are so basic I think I could probably get away with one of these $2.50 offerings, however the problem - and it's the only pr

It's a mixed bag. I live in Germany as an expat and found giants like Dell (incl. Alienware) offered QWERTY options for their laptops, and so did the smaller Clevo resellers who pride themselves on custom builds. But in between, with t

You sure are. My parents are well inside Sydney's suburban sea and are stuck on 3mbit ADSL2+ due to exchange distance. New Zealand's national fibre plan is brilliant. If only Australia could come up with such ideas...

I believe NGINX's caching is as efficient, if not moreso, but it is less flexible. The tools available to you in Varnish's VCL are substantial, plus you get ESI support - something NGINX lacks.

by cknight 10y ago
This is important, especially when compression is part of the picture. For example, NGINX automatically replaces strong ETags with weak ones if gzip compression is enabled. Something to be aware of, if you're using them.

I think perhaps the "Scaleway" brand name is less about what their users can do with their products, and more about what their business model is. As for their hardware, I believe they have designed all of the physical servers them

I've made no claim that Cloudflare did anything wrong with that blog post. I can however see how Dyn themselves might not have liked it all that much. And in saying so, I think both the content and medium that Dyn chose in r1ch's

I suppose it could be seen as a response in kind after: https://blog.cloudflare.com/dyn-issues-affecting-joint-custo... I would consider an email a bit of an escalation though, as opposed to a blog post.

As has been mentioned elsewhere on HN, those 3 features were capable of triggering the bug. Once triggered, potentially any Cloudflare-enabled site could have been affected.
