You're being scammed or the person is incompetent. If the code isn't going to be handed over, then at least need full access to the AWS footprint to see what exists or not. If its web based, another way would be to ask for the UR

I had hoped this as well. I spent so much time in that program building web sites long ago. We have a plethora of excellent dev oriented editors today, but a purpose built one can be so much better by simplifying workflow.

It really depends on the company (or even part of the company if its bigger). As a Principal I do code less than I used to as Staff or Senior. But I still do a fair amount of coding (along with design, arch, mentoring/guiding). I&#x2

I'm in a multi-level home. Previously I had 1 centrally located Ruckus AP. Its signal was strong everywhere (solid RX signal strength), but devices could not transmit strongly enough back to the AP. In the end I went with 3 Unifi APs

The major cases revolve around failure recovery, and traffic distribution. A 5 minute outage is not acceptable in many industries or at scale. If a load balancer or DC fails we need to ensure traffic moves away fast. Similarly if you want

Presto gets most of its speed from parallelizing work and taking advantage of columnar formats when it can. In the case of a RDBMS can you get performance gains if you try to parallelize a query from many clients? It will depend on the DB

Widdershins works pretty well. IIRC their README also links to a CLI tool that wraps Widdershins. I containerized it and added some wrapper scripts so we can just drop the YAML spec in our repo and have build automation to generate/de

Lots of general reasons, inertia, etc. Often companies stick to 1-2 preferred technologies and adding Presto isn't seen as a gain (even though it helped Facebook quite a bit). I also suspect Amazon re-packing it as Athena reduced ado

SSL handshaking is definitely a bottleneck. I can’t speak for the benchmarks but with SSL typically this scales via using persistent connections (keep alive), and SSL session resumption (much lower cost to setup vs a full handshake). In th

I’ve worked in computer security for over 15 years as an engineer. In my case I often work closely with threat researches building infrastructure or things to make their lives easier (eg automate or detect the “easier” attacks so they can

While interesting, even if anti-bodies are detected in the end we have an N=1. The average random person doesn't get this. A single result is not generalizable. It kind of reminds me of the @justsaysinmice twitter account [1] which

IIRC KF94 were designed as an easier to make general population mask in event of a pandemic (after SARS etc). It wasn’t meant to match N95 (or Korea’s equivalent), but to get close. Ideally the US would have an equivalent, or have encourag

It can help. At times my company has sought experts on varying threat actors. Sometimes studying these come with language needs based on the actors’ origin (Russian, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, etc.). While not technically a requirement, it can

Pretty terrible behavior by Facebook. I hope that the community is able to overcome the name recognition problem and follow the founders to Trino. Dain, Martin, and team have very high standards and it shows in their work. I wish the Trin

Great work! I had been thinking about buying an Inkplate but as a hobby project I had wanted to focus my limited time on the application vs all of the glue (UI, Oauth, etc.). This might be the nudge to move me along. Thanks!

I’m so sorry your friend is going through this. Thank you for helping. FYI - If you file a USPS change of address they mail your old address a confirmation. IIRC the confirmation includes the new address. Maybe someone who has done this r

Note the US data for 2020 ends in early November; before the large November surge. I would not take that much comfort given the surge in case counts. I don't doubt we are better handling cases now vs April, at the same time hospitals

For those downplaying the scope of this, the death counts / excess deaths data is most illuminating. This page has a number of good breakdowns, but here's the US chart comparing 2020 vs other years: https://ourworldinda

Having read the warrant request they: Claim an IP was found by examining logs (no logs shown) Claim they used “investigative procedures” to identify the IP as belonging to Ms Jones. Both seem weak but I don’t know usual practice. Seems odd

IIRC It has to be enabled by your Office365 admin. Office365's IMAP also doesn't support 2FA so if your org uses that, then IMAP is out.

by gwittel 6y ago
Interesting. So basically they say: 1) Trust us that the IP we gave was really from the person who triggered the alert. (vs real log samples) 2) trust our magical computer powers that we know it belongs to Jones’ address at the time in que

Could be crappy/buggy middle boxes. Especially if they’re inspecting packets or messing with SSL. My ATT modem (Arris bgw-210-700) may have gotten a firmware upgrade recently as I found some settings I shut off got re-enabled. I use i

Yeah, amusing in a perverse way. Years ago I had gotten an "ATT fiber coming soon" notice, but still not here. In the end its simply the usual issue with internet access in the US -- ISPs have zero incentive to invest/improv

Other options: 1) Sprout the streetlamp from the box, add a car charging port. 2) Hire an artist to paint the box with artwork (property owner gets to pick from option set). Consider it to be city owned art installations.

I've been having similar issues matching this as well (SF south bay), with ATT Uverse (fiber to neighborhood, 100mbit to home). I really wish we'd just have municipal ISPs here. I'm only a few miles from Google HQ, but the i
