The flip side of this is control. If s3 goes down, and therefore your service is down, there's little you can do about it whilst your customers are screaming at you.

How can the new API know this? You've got an old app that uses an API that assumes full access to the device. A new API that restricts that access _cannot_ just guess what the app actually needs / uses - the only sane thing to do

The nice thing about society is that it allows people to come together and pool their resources, in order to achieve an expensive thing that no individual might be able to reasonably afford. I get that nice things that you want are sometime

Maybe that's true, but this isn't a problem with open source. There's lots of popular proprietary software.

You specific having the time/resources is not the point. The point is that for users with the resources, they have the freedom to do this (either themselves or by hiring someone). "I don't have the resources to exercise my fr

"most important" is entirely subjective. I'd rather "parts truly open and parts proprietary", than "whole not open but pretending to be".

The latter. Same is true of all business dependencies, not just OSS ones. It's a large reason why a lot of companies do M&A - it minimizes the risks of not having control over that dependency.

This has nothing to do with OSS developers being compensated, it's about risk management for the consumer. If you build your business on something that might disappear because someone decides to suddenly stop working on it, it's r

I think AWS SigV4 tries (and succeeds?) in solving this issue?

Hard to take seriously any suggestion which look at ARP (and the other warts in v4) and goes "yep, let's hang onto those". "Let's make a new, backwards incompatible protocol and not learn anything from the old one&q

There's nothing about regulated environments or commercial apps that limit your choice to "systemd on Linux". Everything is a tradeoff.

If you can't compete without throwing your ethics overboard, the right answer is to put it down and do something else, not join in .

> what I did for my own organization and in my RIPE data there’s nothing that specifically says Vultr can announce my prefixes In RIPE, each as-num should list out a policy of which other ASNs can import/export routes from that ASN.

I don't see anyone advocating for hostility. Merely the observation that wishing it away is naive.

Again, the existence of DoH has zero bearing on whether or not software written by someone else chooses to use the OS networking stack or even respect your desires when it comes to name resolution.

by growse 2y ago
An antagonistic device on your network that wants to resolve names doesn't need to use DNS at all. DoH isn't "magic". It's just a simple, standardised protocol. It's existence makes it no more or less easy for

Your original assertion "signal knows who is talking to whom" does not follow from "Signal relays the data".

by growse 2y ago
How does it follow that Signal knowing a phone number means they know who the identity that phone number represents is communicating with?

I had lasagna in Sri Lanka once and had an similar experience. Looked like it, tasted nothing like it. It's like the only thing they had to go on was a picture of what lasagna looks like.

Is this unique to certain genres? Everyone in the UK knows about "Chinese takeaway chips" and "Indian Omlettes", but you don't see such concessions in Thai, Italian, French etc. places.

If you use a database library that does mmap to create a db file with SC_PAGE_SIZE (4KB) pages, and then upgrade your device to a 16KB one and backup/restore the app, now your data isn't readable.

Or a plus code, which is a little less precise, open, and a little easier for humans to transmit than a latlng.

If I were being pedantic, I'd say that the metric of "CPU usage" comes from the event "measuring the CPU usage" :p

Two good examples - thank you. They're icky (as language design / practices) to me precisely because you end up executing context-free code. But I'd probably also just start a new trace in my signal handler / exception h

Can you give an example of an event that's not part of a span / trace?

My point is that they don't feel their costs. Therefore by definition they're all "forever sucking on the public teet."
