This is funny... if operators are crying now, I can just imagine what will happen with quantum based communications, where you can't even look at the data without corrupting it!

"Severless"... I don't think it means what they're trying to make it mean. "Server management"-less, or "dedicated server"-less, because true serverless can only be some sort of p2p client-side-only i

It says the guys they've caught were laundering millions of dollars; they probably only got to keep a percentage of that, maybe even less than $1M.

This is all great, but I feel like all these problems could be caught just with properly written tests. If your tests correctly cover the API usage of your code, and I mean both your code complying with the intended API and the API complyin

This isn't 2010 anymore, WebExtensions depend on permissions given by the user, and while this still could be improved, it is no longer a "free for all" like it used to be.

There may be more than one airline, but quite often there is just a single airline that meets the criteria for the flight and service quality you require. Even when there are competing companies, being able to accurately quantify how much a

* Slack is for general conversations. * Kanban is for task management. * Wiki pages are for knowledge storage. * Mind maps are for topic organization. You pretty much can use any of these tools to do any of the others' jobs, but each o

The whole article reads like BS to me. So the initial problem was a single queue? Well, then split the queue, no need to go all crazy splitting all the code. Switching to 100+ microservices? There is no need to switch to 100+ repos too, run

US Healthcare costs are fake, hospitals don't really expect to get the whole sum after they apply discounts for insurance companies, so they make them appear bigger just to get what they intended. It's only people who don't h

Ever wondered why the other EU countries didn't make much of a fuss over Brexit? It's because the UK had many privileges from the times when it was needed to establish the EU... and then it didn't even join the Euro. The UK h

On the other hand, EU based businesses replacing those US based ones, wouldn't be all that bad for the EU.

As far as I'm aware, lolicon is about fantasy, while child porn is about sex with children. The difference is not so much whether it's drawn or not, but whether it actually harms any real children.

Water is even more addictive, just look at the withdrawal symptoms. And don't even start me on oxygen.

Not at all. There are plenty of young chaps who only want to do stuff "by the book", and plenty of old folks who understand the value of trying something that used to be impossible but now is possible. The main difference is endur

The US is a funny place: metamizole and weed were banned because of some bogus claims about their risks while dismissing their benefits, and replaced with opioids which pose a well documented risk of addiction. It almost looks like someone

> On a VPS, in a data center, or in your closet? Yes, any of those sounds like a good enough plan B. You don't need it to be perfect, just good enough to avoid getting stranded in a pinch. Then you can start shopping around for some

No. Whether it's potatoes or servers, having a single point of failure with no plan B in place, is silly. Your local restaurant going out of business is no reason for you to starve to death, you just go to another one, or to a grocery

The problem lies in the comments and issue tracking, which are not stored in git. Sure, you can clone the repo, but you can only take the wiki with you, the rest would be lost.
