This is (one of the reasons) why you should use HTTPS Everywhere and enable blocking of all unencrypted requests. This isn't new. You're susceptible to even worse MITM attacks if you allow unencrypted traffic when using public wi

Thought I'd mention yours.org [1] which has multiple ways of monetizing content. With micropayments it's much more feasible to support this type of model. See their FAQ for more info [2]. [1] https://www.yours.org&#x2

Wikipedia article on this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toba_catastrophe_theory#Geneti... The Toba supereruption does correlate with a population decline, but evidence beyond that isn't very conclusive.

They would need to MITM you. But take into account that it doesn't need to be Savitech. If Savitech was compromised, an attacker could get access to their private key. In a sense, your security becomes dependent on the security of Sa

And yet somehow America didn't lose WWII. This type of rhetoric (that we need big government to make decisions for us) scares me a little. Also, people don't need to be altruistic saviors, they can buy bonds.

From a product perspective, it seems like a big decision and discussion about it may be insightful to those building other products. From an engineering perspective, those who have Slack API integrations may be affected.

Yep. This is the code that's causing it[1]: var now = Date.now()/1000; var dt = now - then; Adding this line fixes it: dt = dt > 1 ? 1 : dt; [1] https://github.com/grondilu/grondilu.github.i

This is a good overview. The formula described is basically the Drake equation[1] - I'm surprised that isn't mentioned (other than in the sources) considering it is the basis of the Fermi Paradox. There are lots of potential expl

From the article: > Usually when a leap second is almost due, the NTP protocol says a server must indicate this to its clients by setting the “Leap Indicator” (LI) field in its response. [..] Rather than doing this, we applied a patch to

leap seconds, or the like What else other than leap seconds are you referring to? Leap seconds are a problem for all time storage since most time parsers consider second 61 invalid [1]. They also only happen about once a year. Goo

No mention of epoch time in the article? Just store using epoch and convert to local time zone when displaying. That's how *nix does it. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unix_time

How do you prove something is secure?

For visualizing a large quantity of crons, I'd recommend something akin to https://github.com/federatedmedia/cronviz which will graphically show when jobs are scheduled to run.

PHP. It was what I used initially so I could have access to our internal libs since our main application is in PHP. After crashing the ETL server a couple times though, I decided to try moving the heavy lifting to Go. When we benchmarked

I built an ETL that uses a Go stream for the transform. Once the data has been processed it's written to disk on our analytics servers. Since it can keep up with the stream, memory footprint is very small (which also means we never h

Yeah, I agree, but there are some use cases for a simple bash script. I updated the GIT repo with a PHP version that has output and errors like you said.
