I respectfully disagree that my comment was unrelated. I want the community of programmers and technology enthusiasts to be as diverse as possible. While maybe not his fault, Mr. Davis said some things that were very much not welcoming to a

Apple is a member of the Alliance for Open Media, the group behind AV1: https://aomedia.org/membership/members/ . I'd suspect apple will roll out support at some point.

Nothing in his response is about encrypting DNS. Go grind your axe elsewhere.

Well, not quite. What SQS actually offers is: exactly once delivery, except when the message is delivered multiple times. Quoting from the SQS docs [1]: > The visibility timeout begins when Amazon SQS returns a message. During this time,

I'm not a big fan of Postel's law / the Robustness Principle [1] and this is a great example why. Given the email address "anaddress@protonmail.com@presidence@elysee.fr", one piece of code parsed it as "preside

It's the _entire_ point of the piece. And it's not really all that much of a political statement. The message is pretty clear: don't send people to die in space for stupid-ass political reasons.

The main challenge I see in what you are advocating is that it's not clear to me how to avoid having a large, centralized recursive resolver such as 8.8.8.8 or 1.1.1.1, without increasing DNS query time or having to deal with badly beh

I don't have much to say regarding your work issue with IPv6 and a K8S cluster. However, I do have some comments regarding DNSSEC: As I understand it, there you have basically 3 options for local DNS w/ DNSSEC - 1) you can run a l

I think its a big mistake to lump this type of "tracking" in with more involved "tracking" where particular users are followed around from site to site to serve up ads based on what the user has looked at recently. These

I know very little about SimpleanAlytics. However, they do claim to not be a tracker: https://simpleanalytics.io/no-tracking . So, they at the least, would argue one of your claims - do you have evidence that what they are s

Your article includes a fully unsubstantiated claim based on a discussion from an unrelated project. Asking someone else to do something to fix your mistake is ludicrous and is in no way "offering an olive branch".

Do you have a concrete suggestion? Or, a link to a page with a concrete suggestion? It's easy to complain about almost anything - it tends to be a lot harder to make a proposal for its replacement.

I'm not sure that is correct. A function that takes no arguments and returns 2 and a function that takes no arguments and returns 3 both have the same type signature. I'm not super strong on the theoretical side of computer scienc

A VPN provider has a much better source of data to mine than just about anyone else. On top of that, figuring out which ones deserve to be trusted is near impossible.

I don't think that is quite correct. By that definition, any alhorithm that is free of deadlocks would be a lock free algorithm. But, I'm fairly sure that isn't the case - otherwise a hashmap protected by a single mutex would
