Not the author but this seems a good approach to me because you learn more about a language from implementing a project in it. This is especially true when you already have experience in a language from the same paradigm (like Go and Rust a

This is a genius idea and I’m going to shamelessly steal it! Thanks for sharing.

In rural areas maybe. But plenty of data centres are in cities too. And European cities are not generally known for an abundance of parking spaces.

I completely agree and nothing I posted suggested otherwise. My point was just that Amazon is large enough to scare La Liga in ways that nearly no other online retailer is. Ergo La Liga wouldn’t ever push for a total internet block like the

Nobody was claiming that future blockages couldn’t happen. The argument I was disagreeing with was the statement that “a total internet block is the logical conclusion” Which it isn’t. But, and as I said in my comment you claimed to disagre

Yet some people did trust them for it. But you’re right that it probably wasn’t the same people that got burned by 90s Microsoft.

This happens with almost every acquisition from Red Hat to WhatsApp. If companies actually meant it then they’d sponsor these projects instead of buying them. The reason they choose to buy is so that they can make decisions about the direct

None because it would be surrounded by backticks. But also, this convention predated rendering text/plain as text/html

It always bugs me that _underscore_ is the syntax for italics rather than underline. I’m sure back in the old days of READMEs, long before markdown was a thing, the conventions were this: /italics/ _underline_ *bol

Of course you can. But you cannot connect to an air gapped network from outside of it via a bastion. Which is what we are specifically discussing.

Having just implemented OAUTH into a Go app this week, I can assure you that it’s surprising easy to do so without making your entire application a website.

I agree. They’re network enclaves. Which isn’t the same thing as an air gapped network.

This article we are discussing this about gives a great example of why understanding the difference matters a lot when purchasing hardware.

This was a decent USB plug from Anker. I regularly use it to charge things like iPhones and tablets. I knew it wouldn’t supply enough power to run the MBP but thought it should trickle charge the device over night. But it didn’t. I can’t re

Isn’t that only relevant for network topologies that rely heavily on broadcasting to multiple nodes. Eg token ring, WiFi and powerline adapters? For regular Ethernet, the switch will have a table of which IPs are on which NIC and thus can d

That hasn’t been my experience. I once tried to charge an M3 MBP via a lower powered wall plug. It was left off over night and the following morning the battery was still at 1%.

IIS was always the black sheep of web hosting. Nothing has changed there. Windows Server is used for more than just directory services and web hosting though.

Do they no longer charge annual licenses for Windows Server? On that topic, it’s always surprised me just how little Apple invest into their enterprise / business backend services. Everything about the way they integrate Macs into busi

Yes. - “Windows Defender” is the service - the discussion was about how Defender might have “root” access but Linux services have CVEs too. The reason Defender has elevated access is precisely because it needs to do stuff like hook into fi

That’s an interesting analogy because there’s several ways you could easily dismiss it. For example: if roads aren’t built to support cars travelling at 100 miles per hour then it doesn’t matter how much you argue that cars are can do 100MP

That would cause worse confusion when working with teams from different localisations. Not to mention the complexity of now adding localisations to the address parser.
