   So basically both hosts (workers) were supposed to be storing session data in a shared Redis cache, but one host was misconfigured and was storing (and/or retrieving) session data from local memory instead?

   While I can't answer your question about biology/pharma, I will say that depending on how you look at it - Conover's vindication of routine chemistry had some of the same elements of sexy as Fleming's discovery of Penici

   Agreed. I actually don't care about watches, personally, but I found the author's writing compelling enough to remember why I care about some things that just might not be considered "practical". Very inspiring.

   Yeah, I figured as much, but was hoping there might be something about the Linux subsystem that would be helpful in porting drivers around, beyond userspace. Obviously, I've yet to actually use it myself.

   I use it all over with LUKS on Ubuntu. It works fine, but there's one little hitch: when calling anything that ultimately calls grub-probe (e.g. apt-get upgrade), you have to symlink the decrypted device mapper volume up a layer into &

   I wonder if the recent Linux syscall emulation on Windows would somehow make it possible or easier to port ZFS on Linux to Windows. I know you have the SPL anyway, so maybe with the addition of the Linux POSIX-ish layer in there this coul

   People in the computer hardware/software repair industry should be infuriated by this as it erodes trust in their profession generally -- not just Best Buy. I know I'll be recommending that friends and family just backup, destroy,

   I'm sure you're not the only one. As a soon-to-be Dad and long time single hacker late night guy, I've been wondering myself if I'll feel the same way. But then I remember the day jobs I've had where I was thinkin

    I just have to say... glossing over the details quite a bit, not reading the article. Mostly I've just read peoples' thoughts on here and Twitter. But my initial gut feeling/reaction about this news is that it's distinct

    But - I can't think of a single language in which using it "wrong" might not lead to info leaks? Any language with a runtime has to manage memory somehow at the runtime layer and so similar leaks can occur there depending upo

    I agree. I keep seeing comments about C being the culprit, but in my mind, this is more of a policy issue regarding how any given language initializes and allocates memory. Sure, in this case, we may see a C-specific bug in play, but I thi

    I believe it's about .026/GB-month so about $20-30/TB-month. My ultimate goal is to get some scripts going to push the least-accessed datasets into nearline which save me about, say, 30% on total cost. I consider the total pr

    Very interesting. I need to read up on smart contracts to better understand your post but the first question that comes to mind is: if you use virtual machines to run the code and test the exploits, against which platform(s) would those VMs

    I've wondered the same. What if you just opt out of 90% of everything? What are the implications of not using social media?

    Also the brand/form of L-theanine seems to matter as well. I've tried several and the random cheap brand I purchased at the local health food store seems to have had the most noticable effects.

    This is an important point. AI could replace many programmers for example. Or make better investment decisions. It has the potential to kill the entire notion of wealth as we currently know it , regardless of social standing. What then?

    Having used both plain LXC and BSD Jails before Docker was a thing, and now using Docker after , I can say much of this is true. But there's a fundamental additional point: Docker's marketing has increased its' usage for app

    I think you're right.. The numbers don't seem to add up. They seem like inflated "media" numbers. The media/general public just knows 1TB is "big" (because most people just need gigabytes) and 50 times tha

    Yes, I understand the performance gain. But the difference here with respect to management, presumably, would be that when this is loaded/compiled in the kernel, less userspace setup would be required -- correct? I'm assuming it w

    So I've caught flack for choosing an OpenSSH "native" VPN (where it sets up TUN/TAP for you on both ends, etc..) over IPSec before. While I'm sure it's probably lower performance, if you've ever done more

    Great synopsis, thanks! I'm particularly excited by the last point - there's a genius to putting this in kernel space for exactly that reason.

    Also, most OSS licenses protect the developers against this kind of nonsense anyway ('...not guaranteed fit for any purpose...'), for good reason.

    Also, if it's their public API used by their mobile/web apps, it would likely be crashing all the time anyway from normal user interaction (if some OSS were able to crash it via HTTP).
