For wildcard certificates DNS is the only option.

The issue is that the client needs to access the private key, tell web server where various temporary files are during the certificate generation (unless the client uses DNS mode) and tell the web server about a new certificate to reload. T

Rust provides file!, line! and column! macros that expands into a compile-time constants that the compiler embeds then into the executable. This way no source map at runtime is necessary as the relevant errors are constructed from those co

Latency spikes are the issue. Modern Java mostly solved this, but tuning GC settings is still the thing especially when Java runs on a big server.

I have C++ code from 1997 that I occasionally compile. So far it runs. 10 yeas ago compiling with -Wall exposed an inconsequential bug and that was it. I suspect when it stops to compile it will be from an absence of a particular X11 librar

Java version updates typically change GC behavior. If one has highly tuned setup there is no guarantee that a newer version would not regress. Another problem is crashes. Java runtime is highly reliable, but still bugs happens.

Chernobyl was a direct consequence of a dictatorship in the first place. A reactor with positive reactivity would never be designed unless ordered from top. And handling the consequences in the first hours Soviet style made things inherent

The web server needs access to the key to sign the reply so the key is accessed all the time. With automation LE style one typically creates an account with LE when one renews the key so there is no need to have an account password or simil

It is a myth that dictatorships are good at big projects. Just consider the history of atomic bomb. If not the access to the spied US blueprints Soviet Union would be much delayed with own version. Then it took China about 10 years before t

The automated setup makes it less likely that the private key leaks. That alones makes it a reasonable justification to shorten the validity timeframe to force automation. And then if a certificate authority knows that it’s certificate root

There are serious theoretical objections to Helion approach so I am very sceptical to their approach. Stellarators on other hand do not have any known theoretical obstacles and avoid the problem of plasma instabilities.

Services rarely need timezone done. So if one is OK with supporting only UTC, Go runtime works fine without any timezene data. We use a minimal image to run in on AWS Nitro VM and it contains only kernel, init.d, the Go application file and

What I really like to see is stack traces annotated with values of selected local values. A few years ago I tried that in a C++ code base where exceptions were disabled using macros and something like error context passed by references. But

Result type still requires quite a few lines of boilerplate if one needs to add custom data to it. And as a replacement of exceptions with automatic stack trace attachment it is relatively poor. In any case I will take Rust Result over C++

At some point I tried to run a few small websites dedicated for activism (couple of Wordpress instances, a forum and custom PHP code) using docker. It was time sink as updating and testing the images turned out to be highly non-trivial. Ev

I was hoping the article describe how to perform the application restart without dropping a single incoming connections when a new service instance receives the listening socket from the old instance. It is relatively straightforward to imp

Any service running on local should reject HTTP requests with Origin header as those are generated from browser JS API. In addition requests with UserAgent should also be typically be rejected.

Coal is cheaper than natural gas and much more evenly distributed on Earth so even small countries can secure supply either from own territory or at least from many other countries. And rising efficiency of a coal plant directly reduces emi

Efficient and less polluting coal plants. To approach 50% or more efficiency when converting the thermal energy of coal to electricity the temperature must exceed 700C, but that brings all kind of problems as it presently requires exotic al

Vale is interesting, https://vale.dev/ For memory safety compared with Rust it does not use a borrow checker for the price of more checks and extra memory usage at runtime while avoiding GC or even reference counting. I thi

I always thought that 0-based indexes were superior until few years ago I needed to deal with Fortran code and I realized that 1-based arrays allowed to use 0 as a non-existing index or sentinel, not size_t(-1) hack as found in C/C++.

While the tape is relatively cheap, the tape drives are not. The new ones typically starts at 4K USD, although sometimes for older models the prices can drop below 2K.

That does not work as DNS is insecure. DNSSEC is not there and may never will.

But how does the generic code know the name by which the field is known in the struct that contains the field? Is it supposed to be passed as an extra parameter to the generic function?
297.
by fpoling 2y ago
Yes, but that implies that in GR entropy or at least the value based on the classical definition can decrease. So apparent increase in complexity can be attributed to gravity.

by fpoling 2y ago
The thing that is often missed in debates about entropy and Universe is that the classical notion on entropy is not compatible with General Relativity. Richard Tolman almost 100 years ago proposed an extension that was compatible. One of th

In Go in many cases channels are unavoidable due to API. As already was pointed out in other threads a good rule of thumb is not to use them in public method signatures. The valid use case for channels is to signal to consumer via channel c
