Wouldn't that obviate the need for third party CDN's?

Are you implying web browsers[1] are not "crucial"? 1. Browsers were/are a prime location for Easter eggs.

This is great. I was just thinking about this phenomena when I woke up this morning. In the early days there were general purpose toolmakers. And tool users had to develop the skill to use general purpose tools. They could then tackle a

But, for example, Meraki products are used to create LAN's that have an OOB control plane. Correct? That sounds a lot like "supernodes", where Cisco runs the supernodes. Is that "traditional networking"? I'

Almost. If I build a better LAN, it might be used by companies with high maintenance corporate networks, or it might be used by high scoring gamers at LAN parties. The LAN technology does not fundamentally change, only the usage. However,

Not sure I understand your comment. Like sed, all UNIX systems provide ssh. It's not "extra software". There's no need to use telnet. On the other hand, not all UNIX systems have Python pre-installed. Moreover, as in

Ah. Thanks. I just assumed a strictly POSIX sed would work. My mistake.

by gwu78 13y ago
Yes. I never need to install Python permanently.[1] In my experience, there is almost always a way to do what needs to be done with what UNIX provides, without installing more software. This keeps the system smaller, more standardized and

OK I'll bite. For this answer I'll assume "easily" to mean "with less typing". ed has a more concise syntax for joining arbitrary lines of a file (by line number or pattern) and then saving the file (by way of

There's an error in line 1024. The transform strings are not the same length. I'd like to see more sed programs on HN instead of the usual Python, Ruby or Go offerings. I wrote a sed version of the the Python script "youtube

You could say it's even more narrow than that. It only applies to these two parties and this particular case. While it might be informative with respect to what and how this particular judge thinks, it's merely a decision on a p

I hope we see more discussion of the 3Taps case. The Order denying 3Taps Motion to Dismiss Craiglist's CFAA claims is an interesting read. Keep in mind this is not the final disposition of the CFAA claims. This is an order on a pre-

I'm assuming this website is being served from S3 based on the HTTP headers. As I'm typing this, I get an empty Content-type: header. Is that a configuration oversight or is this par for the course if serving web pages from S3?

Informative response. Thank you for this. Perhaps my time has been well spent mastering the shell at the expense of not learning Ruby and Puppet. I have a need for keeping things small (too small for Ruby) so if I do need to use scripting

Do you need Ruby installed to run Puppet programs? The answer if I'm not mistaken is yes. Personally I would be afraid to use Puppet as a substitute for my own configuration scripts. With the later, I'm required to know how thing

I thought Puppet was a collection of Ruby scripts, not a programming language in the same sense as the others listed. To put it another way, can you "program" in Puppet without first having Ruby installed? On a side note, I am a

All good points, none with which I would disagree. The System on a Stick could only be surreptitiously altered by remounting the root device as read-write. This is difficult for any non-technical user to do without instructions. The System

Why the need to sell hardware? I can accomplish what AdTrap does using a USB stick or SD card and any old i386 hardware I might have lying around. You might call this a "System on a Stick". It boots from the USB/SD media a

As usual, advertisers rely on assumptions about what they think users will or will not do. When users deviate from the assumed patterns, tracking fails. Three ways to easily defeat this "cookieless tracking" come to mind: 1. Turn

Maybe they can't see the video to begin with because of excessive web advertising ploys. That might explain why they are not commenting on the video. Just a guess.
