Oof. Just last night I reset one of my personal systems to its original Yosemite. It couldn't access the app store or many modern web sites because of obsolete SSL. I manually upgraded to Sierra. It barely worked with iCloud and keycha

Major vendors have realized this as well, and are putting less information in their emails as a result. If you’re my customer and a Gmail user and I send you order details, financial/credit info, any number of things I might know about

It seems reasonable that a university would take a moment to share their methods and findings so that others who might consider doing the same thing can benefit from the experience of others.

Yeah so Zeek/Bro might be more of an intrusion detection tool, in the vein of snort or suricata, in that it can monitor network traffic and alert on suspicious patterns. It has some things in common with tcpdump or wireshark also, in t

It playfully encourages people to think and write more lyrically. Perhaps the mathematical notation, also apparently intended to be metaphorical, implies a literal variable substitution objective where there is none. Obviously, words have n

I first saw this come up about the Private Relay service. It didn’t make sense to me to worry about it then, because hiding Apple traffic from Apple achieves nothing. If it’s affecting third party VPNs, I’d like to know more about why Apple

Summary: the green bubbles have lower contrast than the blue bubbles. Lower contrast is associated with lower accessibility, according to published Web Content Accessibility Guidelines. Tricks, purpose, and grossness are speculative.

The relegation is already underway. Google has already decided that HTTP-only sites without recent updates don’t belong in top results. Lots of great work from just a few years ago is invisible to most internet users, while “content aggrega

Citrix is far less of a company than it was not long ago. It is responsible in no small part for what we know today as remote desktop and VDI, it had all the Goto products, including GoToMeeting, and of course Xen. Many of these products hi

I would love to know what exactly is the challenge GitHub is facing. No doubt it’s a limitation somewhere in GitHub’s internal tooling or architecture, and almost certainly a multi-variate sort of chicken and egg problem, but I would be fas

Looking at the metrics Apple tracks in the App Store, it seems to me that "engagement" is all that really matters. You could have some huge number of happy users, but if they open the app only occasionally, you get numbers in red.

Yeah, inside the enclosure of a modern TV is an LCD panel connected to a board the size of a raspberry pi that holds a SOC and some input connectors. There just isn't anything to be repaired. The minimum unit of replacement is the enti

Something that strikes me, using a Newton today, is just how little has changed in the fundamental things people want to do with a mobile device: messaging, contacts, calendars, and notes. For all that modern devices can do, these four esse

Of course, I'm reminded of Brendan Gregg shouting at hard drives: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tDacjrSCeq4 Hard disk drives are not dissimilar from other high-precision acoustic systems. The actuator is even called

I'm trying to think how you could reliably, securely hash one volume while running a potentially untrusted system from another volume. I imagine this can be done, but I'd be guessing as to how. For now, I suspect Apple has thought

Some of this may be related to system volume signing, in which cryptographic signatures for the entire system volume are recomputed following an update. The entire filesystem tree is re-hashed recursively. Once the signatures are recomputed

Fracking changed the market but the Western Hemisphere is not dependent on it. There is enough oil and gas in the North and South American continents to last hundreds of years by all projections. What’s likely to happen is the global market

Indeed. The application contemplated by HTTP is hypertext. If we are being sticklers for the RFCs, modern applications implementing non-hypertext business logic via HTTP are abusing more than just response status codes. But if we relax the

It sounds like the same guy who had the workaround also believed using a TSI might have been worthwhile. I see no reason to take his guidance on one point and not the other.

The more your app can run client-side, the lower your bills server-side.
