Glad to see the 1.0.0 release. I'm hoping that it will help reduce resistance when I nudge people toward it. It also good to see progress in the documentation. For a long time its been very hard to dig into anything but the C++ or P

Yes, given increased working from home I'd expect more breaches to come. Especially if companies allow non-corporate machines to connect to their VPNs (or other once internal systems are on the open internet). Putting an admin tool o

Yes, you're most likely right. While physical tokens are relatively cheap, MFA setup can be not the most straightforward outlay. Still a lot simpler given the many SSO companies out there these days. That said, tokens are probably si

It will be interesting to see how the access was gained. I wonder how well this administrative system was protected. Did they have basic controls like: 1) Accessible via corporate VPN only (requiring 2fa) 2) Admin panel protected by 2fa p

Thank you! In building Redis you’ve contributed some wonderful software to the world. In addition, I’ve always found your blogs to be interesting reads. I’ve also learned by the examples you set both from a coding perspective (reading yo

Hard to say since only Amazon knows. As you've mentioned, there are many ways for counterfeits to enter the supply chain. I think the main difference is who shoulders greater risk/impact of a counterfeit. Under normal models, th

Are fake listings a problem? Absolutely. But is it the primary issue? I'm not so sure. It seems like Amazon is doing all sorts of things but not actually addressing the root -- inventory co-mingling + sketchy 3rd party sellers that

I haven’t. My Windows use is limited these days so I haven’t kept up. Good to know about it, I try to take a look next time I’m on Windows. Tbh Microsoft should just have a built in reader for the 99% case of viewing documents and filling

For many years Windows did not have a simple built in print to PDF function. Ages ago, FoxIt was a great lightweight PDF reader (vs Adobe Acrobat). Its gotten more and more bloated over the years, but still better then Adobe. I use it on

When I read this the first question that comes to mind is where was Osterloh in green lighting the Pixel 4 if he wasn’t happy with the end result? I’d think the head of hardware would have final say on proposed designs and progress. Either

Ouch. Not knowing how the iOS apps are written, two questions come to mind: 1) Why wasn’t the SDK written to tolerate bad data and fail gracefully? 2) Could clients integrating the SDK be written to tolerate failures like this?

I went to the Wolfsburg Autostadt and took a tour at the factory next door a year ago ( https://www.autostadt.de ). It was a great tour. The guide was making jokes about the currywurst. I didn't realize he was serious. I

Summerwinds got closed and has to do home delivery only per the site. After an outcry Yamagami's re-opened for customers with limited hours (rate limiting, etc) this past weekend. Not sure if Summerwinds is going to get the same repri

This would be cool. I used to rent darkroom space at times and it’s very costly per hour. I couldn’t justify the price and gave up. Historically I’ve talked to rental darkroom places and the challenges after staff and space costs have bee

I'm glad that film/print has seen a resurgence in recent years. For a while it was hard (expensive) to get decent supplies. This is a nice ad-hoc setup. Darkroom equipment is definitely like a gas; I think my enlarger timer was

If you like Tartine, you’ll probably like “the midwife and the baker”. For me, it’s a close call between the two (depends on the specific variety). You can get their stuff at some stores/farmers markets and the bakery itself in Mounta

Agreed embedded is probably a good way to go. Much simpler to understand systems, along with simpler ASM. Many schools in the US have organized robotics programs, but those are expensive and require a lot of support. Making a demo is know

That’s a really good point about preparing for industry. So many people don’t get much experience starting from a blank slate. I think for me, the question is how to make it a more obvious gateway. As a child we had things like the sparta

This makes me so happy. The demoscene is what made me want to learn to program in the first place. The first demo I saw was Heartquake by Iguana (Asm 1994) - http://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=364 . I can still hear the

Interesting. Maybe it’s still being rolled out. They didn’t have this in SNV recently.

I’ve seen gloves regularly but not masks. No plexiglass dividers either. As the state guidance is now to wear masks when out (with stores free to turn away non masked customers) I hope they let employees use what they want (and supply it).

In the SF south bay area stores have been very uneven across the board with respect to sanitizing and rate limiting customers. Some seem to be faster and started early (e.g. Trader Joe's) while others are doing little. A few days ago

Ace Hardware is doing curbside pickup. Cost Plus World Market is as well (they sell random pantry goods).

A timeseries db may work fine. 20 million per day isn’t bad, unless you expect huge spikes in a short duration. What do your rows look like? What time ranges do you expect to query? Does your data arrive in a stream or large batches? Thi

The best chair varies person to person. There are some good things to try in this thread, but ultimately trying one for a few minutes in a store is not adequate. Buy from somewhere with a good return policy and support. Years ago I'd

Interesting. I wish it had more details as far as inputs/outputs, data sizes in different phases. One thing that I wonder about is how much work could they do to collect this data on a forward moving basis. Often I see huge lookback

It’s mostly IPv4. The volume over v6 isn’t there. Blocking via IP on V6 is tricky since it’s not clear what a safe/useful block range would be.

Sending at scale is the problem. A provider like Mailgun (aka an ESP), is a huge target for abuse. Free and low priced tiers are tricky since they need to draw in customers, but then get heavily abused. tl;dr: Abuse ruins it for everyone.
