I almost never do frontend work. I'll gladly take a PR if you want to make that one page faster and prettier. Though I don't want to make the build require yarn or other js/css compiler framework for a single page.

It's just a normal linode running archlinux. There are very minimal tweaks to handle the new connection load. I should write a blog post about it. It has steadily gained more traffic over the years and hasn't need much care and fe

How would it reduce the cost? They are only return data from inside the header of the request they received and doing (an unnecessary) lookup to turn the country code into a country name. What would you cache it cheaper? No matter what his

Indeed. Using another service and being a wrapper around it is not all that impressive. He is also using workers which makes his solution expensive. I run ifconfig.io which now gets just over a billion hits a day. It is basically an echo se

If you looked at any of the pictures or watch the demo video you will see that the material is very stiff and thick. I wouldn't saw it is suitable for gloves. But the general consensus is always not to wear gloves at all. The risk of

Perhaps I was overly grumpy. But I get pulled into these discussions a lot. The company now has a very strong newly (2 years) developed "buy not build" mentality. Half the products we have bought have had full internal teams to su

This seems really flawed. Let's plug in numbers. This says that if a service costs 125$/month/employee and I have 1000 employees ($125000/month) I will save ~5 million a year. However a service costing 1.5 million at suc

It comes with it's own, but it is trivial to add your own via system policies.

You say that, but if you don't need/want support and don't need any of their paid features, then it's free for business. If I was a business, I would want to pay for support. That doesn't apply to all businesses I k

Your pepper is always static, and your salt becomes static. Wouldn't that essentially be peppered even without the pepper? I don't see any value of a pepper. It doesn't actually add any protection.

I don’t think they are salted. When someone joins signal they are compared to your hashes. That is how you get notified that one of your contacts have joined signal. If they were all individually salted, there would be no way to compare aga

They aren’t close to identical sounds though. Drones are much higher pitch, and will be clearly distinct. It’s like when a car honks or someone whistles on the highway. There is a lot of noise, but the higher pitches are distinct.

My four year old XPS lasts an entire 10 minutes on battery doing nothing at all. Though when I got it, it very easily lasted the entire day, even if watching videos and such.

This seems like a good way to accidently run abitrary code downloaded from the internet. I can see opening up in an editor as useful shortcut. But actually executing code without an executable bit seems a bit more dangerous.

Not true, at most it increases the number of samples required. But the are other ways to simulate timers with adequate resolution.

For one thing, kernel models don't link against libraries. So a new implementation is almost always written.

If the reported immune rate is 80%, with 10-20% false positives, wouldn't the real immunity rate be 64-72%?

Not a lawyer but, If it was released under an open source license by people who did not legally have permission to change the license, then yes this is possible. It sucks, and you should likely still challenge it. But they may have the lega

It is, but they cap out the file size they will cache on the free plan to be 512MB. So you would need to chunk up your videos to get free bandwidth.

Load balancing UDP isn't too difficult. However that is not the hard part here. It is ensuring the routing happens correctly. A client must hard code it's IP address currently, which means if it can connect to more than one node,

It is enabled and working in _my_ firefox. But, I encourage you to try to get it working in _your_ firefox, where that site says you are in fact using ESNI. It is trickier than just enabling a flag. If you think this means people are using

by georgyo 7y ago
If no clients support it, and you can't tell as a user if it is working, then effectively no one is using it.

ESNI was dropped from the TLS1.3 spec. It is currently a draft protocol. Almost nothing supports ESNI yet. Chrome does not have it yet. Firefox does but it very difficult to enable, there is a config flag but it does nothing on its own unle

Never heard of betteridge before, and was thinking the answer to headlines is normally yes... The Wikipedia article you link to states a study of ~3000 articles where the most common answer is infact yes.

The application layer is the only place these changes can go anymore. IPv6 is a good example that protocol layer changes are really slow to roll out. You may also be interested in SCTP, which is awesome on paper and works well across the in

I cannot think how you could possibly do the key exchange securely and automatically, if you want to give a link to someone and have it "just work". If all you have is the URL, then the server sees the encryption key. Video confer

The ruling states they _must_ index, provide snippets, and pay. Google did remove the snippets, which hurt the news sites traffic, such is mostly Google referrals. This ruling makes it so they must index and pay.

This sounds like a feature, at least as a user. Sandboxing that is fantastic. I wonder if they also block the app from reaching into the copy/paste buffer. If they successfully sandboxed to that level, that is basically mobile device l

I don't know if I am at all surprised that a USB hard-drive is failing to implement all SCSI commands, even if it really should.
