We use SQLite in lieu of large REST transfers when transferring large amounts of temporary data internally in our application between services. It means the structures are already in a format where you can work with them, etc. Once the file

It might be a local routing problem that will soon be resolved, but if this has been going on for a long time then perhaps nobody has noticed. You could write to the owners of this website and ask if they'd be willing to let you access

Thanks, I hate it. It's like a horrible fractal, the closer you look at it, the worse it gets.

It looks reasonably easy - the main thing you're looking for local file headers that are referenced multiple times by the central directory. This is not invalid itself of course - some compression programs likely deduplicate files with

It's easy to be pessimistic but do you remember CFCs[0]? I don't have time to re-read the article but my recollection of the timeline of events goes somewhat like this: 1. CFCs invented 2. CFCs are in high use 3. Thesis: It's

I guess you need to figure out the company's attitude to what they're doing. If they're trying to build a software product then they're often happier to spend if they know they'll get quality. If the company is not

I gave this code a quick skim and it seems reasonably well thought out and I wish I'd seen it before I rolled my own at work. There are numerous security flaws that one can accidentally introduce with SAML and it seems you've avoi

It was sort of helpful for us. We (a bootstrapped small business) remained on the free tier for a few years before upgrading and getting access to all history. We might not have bothered if the history was simply deleted. I was grateful the

There's blackmail, but also it was the zeitgeist at the time that homosexuals were in some way morally compromised in the same way that drug users are seen as immoral (personally I don't feel that drug users are immoral but I feel

I just don't have it plugged in unless I need it. Admittedly I only use it for mail and password manager. What do you do that requires you to authenticate that frequently? Could the authentication state not be cached for a while?

I've been deploying production .NET apps on Linux in Mono and NetCore for a few years now- Core is vastly superior to Framework even if you're not targeting Linux. We target netcoreapp2.2 and execute the binary by using the dotnet

Yes but often you have no choice but to agree. When I've tried to negotiate in the past the response was for them to say "thanks but no thanks" and wait for someone else. Given this is London it moves very quickly and another

I live in the UK. It's cheaper to buy than rent almost everywhere but I never minded that. The main thing that moved me to buy was because the protection for renters is nowhere near as good. I moved on average every 18 months for 10 ye

I assume there's some central communication system so I'd first ask my boss or whoever I report to if it's appropriate to drop a message in the company's general slack channel or send a big e-mail or whatever. Perhaps th

If you'd like a pretty reasonable terminal right now you can look at ConEmu or cmder (which is a further customised version of ConEmu). You get tabs and reasonable key shortcuts etc. I'm also looking forward to the new terminal th

I guess you could have the SNS topic invoke a lambda that shuts down the specific service if you wanted that but I agree a budgets feature would be nice, especially when provisioning test accounts for developers.

Well I was approaching it from the point of view that you verify the image is correct and then you guarantee you'll always use that image and not some other version given that tags are mutable.

It uses SHA-256 right? My understanding is that there isn't yet a workable collision attack on the SHA-2 family. Regardless, I think it's certainly an excellent hardening step.

The UX is a bit poor and there are long standing issues like the S3 console timeout bug and the SWF console not obeying any known law of web design but serious teams don't really use the console, they use tools like Terraform, CloudFro

A lot of the things I use for development are already mentioned so far so I'll mention something specific to Windows 10. While I wish I could use Linux for work I do quite like it as an OS, but it does have a lot of trackers and this t

My company uses Zendesk Sell (formerly Base). My business partner loves it and uses it religiously. I haven't used it quite as much but I really like the UI and I've done a few API integrations with our internal systems. The mobil

Cool project, but I'm afraid it can't always be reliably used. Whenever I'm travelling and using VPN services, the audio challenge option isn't available; I think something about VPNs increase the risk profile perhaps. O

Yes this is what I have read also. However, it seems that willpower can be trained and in some regards this is more useful. After all, if you're super smart but can't complete a project then that's a bit of a waste really. An
