I live in SF, and I am not homeless but still struggle to find somewhere to use the restroom without buying something I don't really want or need in a restaurant/bar/whatever. More than once, I have purchased something or jus

Why? The situation in which it occurs is unambiguous. Allocate more memory than is available and watch it fail less than gracefully. What you're suggesting is merely technical gatekeeping; there is nothing to gain from writing a specia

I wonder if theres a correlation between the freshness of a follower and their value. I wonder if you're more likely to engage with something shortly after you follow. I've definitely done it myself. I follow because I'm real

I think that's true for very simple CRUD apps (basically what this is designed to replace). For more complex apps, it gives you room to: * Implement decent monitoring. I've had very poor luck trying to monitor SQL query performa

In a private scenario (i.e. most B2B usage), you can communicate the key through a different channel. One option would be to write it down on a piece of paper, and fly someone to the other business to deliver it. Now both sides have a copy

IANAL, but at least for images that are designed to appear to be, or likely to be perceived as, a real photograph, it strikes me as comparable to libel or slander. To me, the distinction is whether a viewer is likely to interpret the image

That fine is roughly $20.44 per violation. Its less than 5% of the damages sought by the AG; does anyone know why it's so low relative to what the AG wanted? I'm curious if the judge felt the fine was excessive, or if the judge di

From the operations side, I feel like SQS is a very sharp pair of scissors. In the hands of a good tailor, they'll make amazing things. On the other hand, most people use them to cut things they probably shouldn't, or just flat ou

I think there are two use cases: the first is a naive "to prevent pedophiles from having access to children". If you don't think too critically about it, I can understand the enthusiasm for it. The second, and I think potenti

You've seen the xkcd chart about automating and the cost/reward for varying numbers of repetitions per day? I think the concept that big businesses are behemoths stems from a fundamental understanding of what each type of business

I disagree, it still protects the encryption of information they have in flight. If they're actually recording the entirety of every TCP stream that comes into the datacenter, how many sets of credentials do you think are stored in tha

I think from the perspective of getting things deployed, you're probably right. Kubernetes really shines there. I still think that a LAMP server is better for an average beginning developer because troubleshooting is significantly eas

Classifying the US military forces like that just cheapens the word "terrorist". I'm not arguing that everything the US did in Iraq was morally right or justifiable, but it's generally implied that terrorists are almos

Changing the way cars function inside the city is only part of what would need to change. Near me things just aren't laid out well for pedestrians. It would take me about an hour to walk to the nearest grocery store (not counting cor

This shows a profound lack of understanding into why operations does things the way it does. Our primary task, above all else, is to make sure that the infrastructure and thus the application keep running. We often take the blame if a dev

It's a momentum thing I think. A big part of the Github platform mirrors a social media platform. When you meet a developer, you check out what they're up to on Github just like you might check on a friend's status on Faceb

They're supposedly coming along quite nicely with the security of containers. Can you run docker containers in userspace? It's been a while since I did much with it, I know LXC can with a fair bit of customization. That would d

Music fills a different void, though. I don't know many people who just sit down and listen to music the same way that they watch TV. I tend to agree with the other poster. Music is good, but any more is typically more of a backdrop

LXC is using containers in the same manner as VMs. There are still reasons to use a container over a VM. To name a big one, application density. There's a Canonical page about it I can dig up if you want that claims you can get ~14

It's going to be a problem for all of the current commercial distributions. For a long while now, their focus has been on ease of use and administration. Docker (and containerization in general) is changing that dynamic by shifting t

To play Devil's advocate here, it's a very non-engineering mindset to discard the possibilities in revolutionizing the hair dryer. Sure, it's not as glamorous as working on the top Node.js module on Github, but you know what
