This is exactly the problem with OCSP. There's no way to tell if the remote server is down, or if a malicious actor sitting in your path is blocking it. So your browser can either a) make it super easy for all your OCSP-using sites t

There are a couple of moderately well known landscape pros that do. But yes. I'd also note that this is a MF camera, with (what looks like) drum scanned film. This tends to produce images with much better color rendition and improve

Depends a _lot_ on the specific camera (and lens). Pro SLR lenses and bodies are generally more effectively sealed than consumer equipment, and generally more robust. A Nikon D5 with a well sealed prime lens will stand up to an awful lot

I don't believe this is entirely correct. DSLR sensors get very hot during long exposures - to the point where excessively long exposures can introduce noise into the output from this heat. I don't see why this wouldn't app

Can you please provide a source for this? The 1Password only bug I can find filed by tavis is [0], in which 1Password were very responsive and thankful of tavis' efforts. I note that can't find anything on twitter that even remot

I would definitely buy this, and know of around 20 other people who probably would do also, but only if it was available as a one-off. I appreciate why you're chasing subscriptions, and I wouldn't have a problem with paying (some

There are a whole BUNCH of other ways available. In practice, no single thing is even close to 100% accurate, but once you have enough distinct indicators you can fingerprint to a pretty high level of accuracy (for many advertisers 80% accu

Note that that particular go implementation is prone to deadlocks. Also, inotify is suboptimal for this use case. inotify has no recursion support, which means that the user must keep a watch on all files individually. There is also a lim

There's not really a lot of detail in your question so I've no idea what sort of solution(s) you're interested in. One suggestion, however - if it's a linux/unix based box you're backing up, you're lookin

When I was solving this problem about a year ago for a previous company, I got around this by having a simple health checker that killed any node not properly responding to dns/docker/etc queries, and automatically replacing it wi

F5 Big-IP devices are the market leader in commercial load balancing appliances. I think you rather underestimate the impact. I'm not making any judgement on the branding, there are pros and cons to this approach, but it's certa

If you only use your computer for web browsing, then sure. But the consumer market is more than just this. Several popular "consumer" applications, such as gaming and photo/video editing, continue to see benefit from increas

I admit I'm not terribly familiar with it, so I might be misunderstanding, but isn't this more or less what AppEngine is?

That might be a better idea, actually - a general purpose terminal with SVG support. I guess while one's at it, it could include PGN/JPEG support too...

Personally, I like it for the same reasons as you dislike it! Being unable to read the names of the small spikes is a feature, not a bug - I don't care about any directory too small to see, and hiding them like this (but still giving m

Unfortunately, this is an area that could use some work. Tools for writing new policies are a long way away from what they could/should be. If you need something to work with SELinux that doesn't come with a policy you have esse

I'm very suspicious of their benchmarks - all of the tests they list are largely network-bound (including build, as the Dockerfile they are presumably using to do the build is mostly apt-get/wget instructions), and there's ze

Okay, it's less recent than I remembered (how time flies!). Still, users are typically fairly slow to update their DB software, so I suspect 9.4 is still a pretty small percentage of the installed base at this point.

The built-in replication may be good - but it's pretty new. Replication slots, which are IMO vital for making the built-in replication non-fragile, only arrived in 9.4, which is pretty recent of a release. I wonder how widely tested

"The replication procedure is super fragile, prone to error, relies on a handful of random shell scripts, and is badly documented" This is true of many databases, but in my experience is particularly true of postgres. It's

While I 100% agree, it should be noted that this particular RFC predates the Ed25519 RFC by some years. OpenPGP appears (to me, as an outsider) to move at an extremely glacial pace - I hope that they'll get there in time. EDIT: I don&#

eye-fi's are great - I have several - but at least for me they don't actually solve this particular issue, as they only transfer the image to your phone/tablet. What's really needed IMO is some way of automatically uploa

All serious cameras do - but it's typically fairly small and most image review happens from the sd/cf card, not the buffer. I think if you have instant review on (I don't ever use this setting) then it MIGHT happen from buff

Yeah, though it's often easier to expense assets than add more salaries, which is why I wonder if some sort of auto-wifi upload, which can be supplemented by a satphone <-> wifi bridge if required, might be more of a realistic pr
