Counterpoint: I once wrote a paper on accelerating blockciphers (AES et al) using CUDA and while doing so I realised that most (if not all) previous academic work which had claimed incredible speedups had done so by benchmarking exclusively

In my experience this affects techie users just as much. Especially when there is a UI that has been crafted and slowly perfected over the years, and where any remaining idiosyncrasy has long been learned by the user, changing that UI has p

No it's not, not if you want to win customers from the US. Their annual budgets are in USD, so they don't have the flexibility to pay more next year just because the foreign exchange rate has shifted. You take the foreign exchange

I just wanted to say thank you for your work on Nomad. It's one of the most pleasant and useful pieces of software I have ever worked with. Nomad allowed us to build out a large fleet of servers with a small team while still enjoying t

I don't know why / how messages should be ordered. NSQ is a message queue and not a log. Some messages take longer to process than others, and some messages need to be re-queued and re-tried out of order, and that is a very common

I could say the same thing about NSQ which is a distributed message queue with very simple semantics and a great HTTP API for message publishing and control actions. What it doesn't offer natively is HA though.

It is not straightforward, and it is complicated by a number of factors. The first would be bad "brand hygiene": If a company has dozens of legitimate domains across different TLDs, different providers and different geographical l

Seconding this. Evading detection has become a real cake-walk since threat actors are able to sign up for a free Cloudflare account and then put their phishing site on their 2-hours old domain behind a level of protection backed by a $20B c

Here's hoping they don't run great tools like Consul and Nomad into the ground somehow. If I'm ever forced to ditch Nomad and work with a pile of strung-together components like k8s I might just quit tech altogether.

Everything written in this article is true, but there are as usual more nuances to all of these. One of the primary reasons for me to go with a GmbH (and a holding) was the expectation of excess profits that I'd want to reinvest instea

To the people dismissing the idea of binarising vectors: Fair criticism, but consider the fact that you can also train a model with a loss function that approaches a binary behaviour, i.e. so that the magnitude per dimension plays an insign

Cool idea, I can definitely see the appeal of having everything in one database. I would probably also add an "attempts" column (int) so you can discard messages after X attempts.

Thanks, that is great feedback and we'll try to improve how the scan visibility is shown and what it actually means. The suggestion of adding a text to the loading page is a great idea, and the feedback about the colors on the result p

Thanks for your feedback. We show the Submit button on our front page as "Public Scan" to indicate that the scan results will be public. Once the scan has finished it will also contain the same colored banner that says "Publi

Scanning for malicious and phishing websites. These types of sites are just enjoying the ease of free services like Cloudflare to block automated analysis tools and tailor their phishing campaigns to very specific geographical locations and

We just use a combination of numerical limits (e.g. API calls per day) and product flags as an array of tags (features:["module1", "module2"]). These limits and flags are attached set on "plans" which can be at

Ugh, when I saw the HN headline about this TLD I thought it belonged to ING Group, just like .barclays and .chase belong to their corporate owners. Just shows how suited this TLD is for phishing...

Regarding some of the comments: Yes, I had trouble sleeping with earplugs initially myself. It's definitely something you have to get used to, but once you do you don't notice them at all. Then it feels like having acquired a new

Personal anecdote, but I sleep with earplugs most of the nights as I have a very light sleep. I would wake from really small noises multiple times every night. In contrast, sleeping with earplugs feels like entering a dark and quiet chamber

Yes, the recently introduction of a stricter exit tax bit me too, before that I would have entertained the idea of moving across the border to Belgium or Netherlands (both literally less than 5km away). My tax accountant was of the opinion

Yup, telegraf is what keeps me with InfluxDB, even if I couldn't care less about the database or the pain in the ass it is to operate.

Serious counter-question: How do you run Postgres in a native and hands-off replicated failover setup? With MongoDB you create a three-node replica set and you're done. I've yet to see a simple guide for Postgres. But I might be w

There are none unfortunately. I've found Vultr to be good value if you really need dedicated servers, OVH probably as well. However, a Hetzner VPS with dedicated CPUs in the US is still less expensive than the equivalent dedicated serv

Thank you for that comment, I don't think it's something many people really understood. The same is true for phishing websites. So much depends on the context and incomplete background information. Is a website that asks you to pu

Counterpoint: Providers offer k8s managed solutions because it's such a pain in the ass to run yourself. Nomad is far simpler to setup, operate and upgrade. And lastly the folks that are independent-minded enough to go with the less-po
