"Otherwise" was the operative word in my (slightly sarcastic) example. :) Avoiding all caps for emphasis means you sometimes have to change "Faa" back to "FAA" after submitting a story about the Federal Aviatio

Minor nit: in the diagram labeled "the flow of a DNS query in Kubernetes," it says a DNS query is a syscall. That is incorrect: DNS lookups happen in userspace, not the kernel. This is usually by calling a library function in lib

The submitter can go back and correct this by clicking "edit". The software changes capitalization only on the initial submission, not subsequent edits. (Overall, I actually like this feature. You WOULDN'T BELIEVE the CRAZY

When I was first learning German, I set my Google account (and phone) to it, despite being in the U.S. Google Maps' decision as to which street names to translate to German when using voice directions seemed completely arbitrary. Numb

Looking up *object.Commit from SHA string doesn't seem like something you want to make every Checker implementation do (even if it's mostly boilerplate), so passing a higher-level object makes sense here. What you might want to

I prefer to make the implementation package-private and hide it behind an interface if there's no way to make the implementation's zero value useful. Doing so prevents someone from trying to use it without calling the (mandatory)

Readers are baited into clicking to find out the subject of the article (which supplement). Is this a new finding or is it the same "news" that's been regurgitated through hundreds of news outlets already over the last week?

Running your own mail server is a great source of data to identify botnet-compromised hosts. When I started banning IPs that send "HELO <myhostname>" for 24 hours, I cut the number of fake login/registration attempts

It feels a bit Sisyphusian at this point. I think I've probably worn out my flagging privileges (they get taken away if you flag too many stories). The sequence seems to be: 1. Musk posts something on Twitter. (This gets posted to HN

The problem with making up your own license clause is that responsible companies now need to pay their lawyers to review it if they want to use your software. This is going to exclude a lot of users who don't want to pay for that revi

You can run dynamic routing protocols such as OSPF or iBGP over Wireguard. It's not built in, but that's a feature, not a bug—I vastly prefer software that does one thing and does it well. I have a full mesh of Wireguard tunnels

It might be possible to build this app in a way that none of the information ever leaves the device. I would be very surprised if that was the case here. Most large IT departments have a list of approved browsers and browser extensions. T

Presumably the non-public data is being scraped using the employees' credentials (i.e. username and password). It is perfectly reasonable for an employer to have a policy which states, "do not give your work username and password
