Having kids makes car sharing very unattractive. Finding car sharing with enough (and high quality) car seats can be quite challenging. And as much as I like public transport, with kids using the car is often much faster.

When you need working software at the end of the sprint, there's often no time to carefully control for all edge cases.

I've frequently run into problems with Postgres streaming replication that looks exactly like the issues encountered here. I was never able to find the source of the issue, so I'm very curious if this fix will also fix the issues

It's important that Wall Street is not just some people but the owners of the company. So it's a signal to the owners that their money will be better spent. Just saying Wall Street sounds very dismissive of the obligations that ma

How can they lose money at the prices they charge? They already had all the expertise to run data centers and build infrastructure. I get that there's development effort, but how can you bleed billions annually over years? Or do they d

And as other people have already written, that's the main issue. Not that someone got compromised, but that passwords for admin accounts to all those services were stored on a network share.

Maybe just clicking around until they found something. That's what many employees do on a daily basis looking for files on network drives, so nothing that would be noticed easily.

Recently my phone broke and it took a day to get a new one. I was so glad to have my 2fa codes somewhere else as well. I'd never want to rely solely on one device for access to everything. Apples plan is that I need to own several Appl

An old Thinkpad works well for me for those use cases. I replaced a Chromebook with an old x1 carbon and it works really well. Easy to upgrade and works equally well with Windows and Linux.

It's the same in Europe. With prime you used to get most items the day after order, rarely two days after ordering. Now it's at least 2 days for most items, many even only arrive 3-4 days after ordering. And that's even if yo

Is older hardware that is performant not secure? I never had the feeling that securing a linux server slowed it down.

I never got why they had to make it that large. I doubt we'll ever want to have that many devices with their unique ip. So why not have a simpler system that makes switching easier? Even one octlet more in ipv4 would've sufficed f

Honestly, if IPV6 had been v4 but with 2 extra octlets, I believe we would be at close to 100% adoption. And also wouldn't run out of ips anytime soon.

by dx034 4y ago
Hetzner is actually good there. They now charge you separately for ipv4 but give ipv6 for free. And when they changed it, they reduced server prices by the ipv4 price. So you could actually save money switching. It tends to be 5% or less, b

The question is why China is so low. They must have close to a billion mobile devices only at any time. Other countries aggressively use ipv6 for those, I'm surprised China doesn't. Or Google just doesn't see the real traffic

That's just the path from the user to the gateway (usually a CDN, rarely the server where a website is hosted). Behind that, pretty much all is IPV4. And there's not reason to change, very few companies exhaust the private address

Absolutely. I'll say it again and again, I like NATs, especially for home setups. They help hiding devices from the public that never need to be accessible outside of a LAN. And you can never trust home router firewalls to be configure

No, you only need Facebook and TikTok in very few office jobs (and there probably other interfaces than users typically use). Excel is present in pretty much all office jobs. Maybe not all programmer jobs, but apart from some backend coders

Maybe what you need to know, but not how to use the programs. I was very anti Microsoft in my school days but had to learn Excel and Word in school. It helped me so much in my first job.

Fastmail is good but more if you don't use it in bigger team (my opinion). Why don't you want to use exchange? Shouldn't be too bad as long as it's configured by MSFT?

I'd have to disagree here. Teaching kids how to use Word and Excel will help them for the majority of office jobs out there.

Secure chips like this are already in all devices but PCs. And in none of these areas has any of that happened. Quite the opposite, Apple got a fine when they slowed down older devices to save battery (at least what they said). So the gover

And that's why Microsoft needs to include such a chip. If we move to a world where security is enforced more and more by hardware, you'll need a device that can participate.

Any green gas could be that storage. With solar power around $.01/kwh in some sunny places, converting that energy into storable gas/liquids can be profitable even at low efficiency rates. And we already have an existing network t

I don't think there's any malice. They're far superior when it comes to energy consumption. And they generally work well. They're just part of a general trend that it's hard to find high-quality products anymore. Un
