I'll give it another shot, but every time I do I'm not impressed. I'd love to use Google Meet and save some money but the audio and video quality looks like a cheap trick compared to Zoom. My users complain endlessly about th

You might not need to do this. You can roll a fully self-contained distribution that will work for this OS with options to dotnet publish. Unless you're sending your software to Mars, I say that saving 80mb of package bloat is not wort

Rider is no joke. If you haven't used it or gave up on it a few years back, give it a shot. There are a few things it can't do like attach to managed modules hosted in unmanaged processes but it's a joy to code in.

The author points out that you can detect this by finding keys that have an unusually high signature counter. It becomes one signal amongst many, including IP addresses, user agents, etc that are correlated with bot-like activity. You still

Baking something like that into hardware is probably not a good idea because then you can't update it when vulnerabilities are found.

This is reasonable in the short term. Pros: You can probably make it work in a day or two Cons: You now have to manage resources for each school. With dozens it's no big deal, but with tens of thousands you've got a considerable d

The big internet companies pay excellent salaries, so I would propose getting a position there, climbing the corporate ladder, buy a reasonably priced home and build retirement and investment accounts. These companies pay well but it's

Some recent changes were made around people who frequently get blocked being auto-blocked for you when you join the game. They have highlighted red names like "Dalmatian" and "Flamingo", etc. If you un-block them, you sw

Yes, largely it has been tweaks but there have been a few changes such as the loss of my beloved riot shield.

If Microsoft pivot VSCode to be a Visual Studio replacement then they will have a very serious problem. However as you say the refactorings are really good and the officially supported languages are supported really well. VSCode continues t

There are some situations where there is a genuine need for data to be air-gapped, i.e. defence, highly sesnsitive secrets, etc. I've encountered this a few times and a once or twice I felt it was truly justified as opposed to being ov

You need to buy support on a per-account basis and if you're doing something complex enough with AWS you'll end up with multiple accounts for each environment and for security segmentation etc. They'll give you general inform

Can I make an alternate suggestion? I'd say that SSO should be available on the cheapest or second cheapest tier. However, I would then make SCIM support (automated provisioning/deprovisioning) part of the most expensive tier. If

Sounds a bit like KEO [0] which was intended to deliver messages back to earth 50,000 years from now. I first heard of it in 2002 but it still hasn't launched and I guess it never will. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki

I don't think HN hates humour, but I personally don't like humour that doesn't add anything extra to the conversation. The current pattern I have noticed a lot goes like this: > Topic: Service X just launched > Comment:

I would imagine that if there's enough demand there won't be very much lead time before it is added to Terraform.

No, once you've logged in with MySQL, changing the password doesn't close the connection. For rotating application passwords we use the same technique but we update the usernames, i.e. app_1@'%' becomes app_2@'%&#x2

Netflix does run their own CDN for video content, presumably to avoid that exact problem. I would imagine that's by far the most expensive part of their business.

My key issue is working offline, if I could make that work in a convincing way with good usability that'd be ideal. You can still only store 5mb in local storage, so you can't sync a load of data to the device and allow the user t

Looks nice but it doesn't solve my fundamental problem: 1. I invest loads of time and effort developing an app 2. Apple rejects it -or- 2. Apple approves it 3. I ship a new update 4. Apple rejects the update and now decides my app shou

Nice idea, I've seen similar accountability groups pop up on various platforms and it makes sense that a platform would appear to serve that need. However this is a catch-22 kind of problem: this platform needs people, but people won&#

Around a minute after losing mains power. When resuming from standby it's instant, like every other TV.
