That sounds extremely risky. Apart from the fact that it makes it much harder to restrict access for leaving employees, mixing personal and work identities sounds like a recipe for disaster. What happens if a personal account gets banned? H

Oh that sounds exciting, would it also solve the current performance issues when moving large amounts of data? It's currently the only reason I still have to use public IPs for some applications.

I'd love to use another company, but there's no one offering the same for the same price tag. Most of their services are free and they charge very little for the rest. Especially if you have a traffic heavy page with little revenu

Their WAF is very useful, it makes it very easy to defend against attacks without paying anything. In general, their big plus point is that they offer many services for free, making it easier to onboard. But by now they offer lots of servic

Today's actually the first time my site is down and it's Cloudflare's fault instead of my own. Obviously this outage is huge, but so far I've been really impressed with their reliability.

Kubernetes on AWS won't be cheaper. And if you go with another provider, they're likely to also have an API to automatically provision VMs.

Isn't a single binary the best fit in this case? Telling clients they need to build up a kubernetes cluster (especially in finance) won't always be the easiest decision.

They are often not required. It's obviously great if you have worked with a lot of the technology used at the new company, but many companies don't apply these as hard filters. I've never seen a candidate that had a 100% tech

That's where I like the idea of T-shaped skill-sets they describe. A back-end developer should have enough knowledge about front-end to properly do their job, but they don't need to be a front-end developer.

You can multiply and use integers but it's a bit ugly. Especially if you work across systems, you'll always need to store notations on the multiplier used. Having a decimal as a built in type with that information stored would be

If you like metric, a good approximation is also 1 calorie per kilometer and kilogram of body weight. So a 80kg person running a 10k will approx. burn 800 calories. Only an approximation but seems to roughly fit many "measurements"

The actual reason for many is probably that with a high enough deficit, you can feel so tired that it's hard to burn the same amount of calories. Walking 20k steps per day is no problem for most healthy adults, at such a deficit it bec

It's not easy but certainly possible. For a reasonably tall male (higher calorie burn), being active (>15k steps a day) while eating around 1500 calories a day will lead to a deficit of up to 15,000 calories a week. Eating 1,500 cal

Is privacy in the UK really going to be that much better over the coming years in comparison to the US? For company based in the EU I would've said so, for the UK I'm not too sure.

Not sure how to think about that. I'd expect a pen tester to live of the money they get for the pentest and not make extra money with bounties from the time spent during that pentest. If the bug was in the software of another vendor th

Such a shame that decimals don't get more attention. I program in Go a lot and they don't even have a fixed point number type built into the language. Floating point numbers always seems to be the default. And while there is suppo

If it's indoors or in the shade, I don't think there are many places regularly hitting >45C temperatures. Obviously placing it in the sun wouldn't be wise. The -20C limit could hit more areas, but if placed indoors I guess

Absolutely, and there's never one true solution. Over the past decade, I've moved multiple times from working remotely (thin client) to locally and back again. It's only problematic if people think everyone now has to follow

Because they have enough staff to detect and fix vulnerabilities within hours, if necessary. For a company without these resources (and maybe even larger ones), hiding servers from the internet can greatly reduce your attack surface.

I just spin up a VM at Hetzner (or another low cost cloud provider) and code on that. I don't give up any control but can still use a much more standardized environment and easier switch between machines.

That's why the fire at the OVH dc took so long to extinguish. They had to stay away for hours and get boats to provide more water. Sure there were toxic gases, but I'm not aware of people being harmed by it, especially with no one

In addition to the video posted: Their DCs tend to be outside of cities (cheaper space), low density and single story (much easier to cool). If you buy cheap land and keep server density low, both building the dc as well as cooling is much

Hetzner can match OVH. To match their prices you need scale to build your own datacenters and servers. Small providers can't do that, they need to colocate and that'll usually be more expensive than owning your dc.

Of course. They're much cheaper, mostly good quality and have a lot of locations. With any cloud provider you should deploy in multiple data centers (as in separate cities, not just different buildings on the same site). Doesn't m

I'd never trust multiple datacenters on one site. If they're not at least a mile from each other, I treat them as one datacenter. OVH has 4 locations in France alone, there's no reason not to use different cities instead of j
