Imagine if Gogo gets compromised and that cert is stolen. Suppose it will end up on a CRL or just quietly replaced?

Hormesis as a general concept reeks of me of the "like cures like" of Homeopathy. This is mentioned in the article even. "A little snake venom is a cure to snake venom" is commonly used when explaining homeopathy. There

Different applications could use different schemas, you just keep in mind the eventual consistency. i.e. you can use event sourcing or just treating everything as a log that gets read and merged (think of it as a CRDT) should be able to h

Consider it a ethics thing. Willing to take the risk to protect those innocent people's data or sell a grandma's SSN to the highest bidder. I think identity theft takes a certain amount of self centeredness and lack of empathy th

I am glad I went to a university that reacted appropriately. I found a bad issue (students passwords for system that held their ssns, grades, financial info etc was world readable) and got a pat on the back for them. I went through a prom

Article points it out but to put a little emphasis on it. Its a good idea to implement a software level keep alive instead of relying on the TCP level one. Some ISPs drop keepalives, especially cellular carriers (support is optional and n

Those "boring" traditional jobs can actually pay quite well and are a lot of fun. Give it a shot, 25 is not old age. It sounds like you have some entitlement issues honestly.

Lets not trivialize a truly difficult problem just cause mongodb has some huge numbers on their marketing literature. Its naive to believe that scaling to the level of twitter is easy. Sometimes you have to be innovative just to implement

"Radiation" should be better taught and understood I think. A local wind farm got shut down in my home town because someone convinced some townies they give off radiation and will give everyone cancer. There's a big differe

We run at about 1TB a node and it works well (high write load things like metrics and telemetry data). But we also use SQL server where appropriate (i.e. transactional account stuff). I am a fan of using the right tool for the right job pr

The more a language is used the more its hated. The ones everyone complains about are most likely to be the ones you will use to make money.

Is the rendering of the story in this site really fair to the people who wrote the article? kinda denies them the ad revenue.

Mechanical keyboard on laptop with high res matte screen... that would be amazing.

In my opinion, the Home/End keys instead of caps lock would actually be pretty nice. I have a tendency to just remove the caps lock key (on mechanical) since the only time I use it is by accident.

I was able to be fairly effective (imho) in clojure/scala without knowing anything about fuzzyWuzzies, bananas, and cheerios. I felt learning about them becomes interesting though as you dig into the language more. Mostly as a curios

Eh, I have a yoga 2 pro like the article and Chrome is working (well it broke so bad I had to reinstall one upgrade, but that aside) Ok... but it has a lot of weird artifacts you notice from time to time like the drop down for the url bar s
