I used to read literally hundreds of blogs via RSS, but I have stopped doing that completely for no particular reason I can think of. Today I read zero blogs. Of course I still read lots of random blog posts from google search results or on

While looking into this coin, I saw that next month they are going to release another one with a red polymer ring, and plan to have 4 more designs with different colors until 2021 (so 6 different designs in total). But so far only as collec

My guess it's because the production cost is too high, and counterfeit euro coins aren't a big enough problem to warrant them. Also having a germany-only euro coin in wide circulation would be a bit backwards and impractical, so t

It's super cool, but this coin is not used in general circulation and is more or less only a collectors item.

Well filtering out their own domains or big anonmailers or fakes is not that hard, so it's best if the address is not distinguishable from someone who is just really bad at reading their mail. Of course they will then begin to make aut

Just saying I want to, I'm not actually doing it. I hope somebody develops such a plugin now so we can fill their pretty little mailing lists with all the millions of subscribers they want and deserve.

Yes, I want to subscribe to your newsletter! Automatically with a browser plugin, with an address that will even accept your mails. Unfortunately no human will read them in the end, but I'm sure your metrics will be great. I might even

Yes, the government and society helps you to protect your idea and monopolize it over some time. Paying for that privilege with a tax is not very outlandish.

Also even if the moderator made that particular decision alone, he will not have to stand up for it as an individual if it gets challenged. Any sensible organization will back him up as long as he acted in good faith and did not break some

If you are talking about the BREACH vulerability, CSS won't reflect user input. The attacker is not able to observe thousands of slight variations of the same file, which is how this attack works (simplified). Transferring static files

On the contrary, reading over the network or from disk (no matter how fast and modern) is still comparatively slow and is nearly always the bottleneck. Most non-embedded CPUs are more than fast enough to decompress every bit they get from t

Since I'm no fit for this role I was browsing for other openings, and I noticed that this is not listed at https://jobs.lever.co/twitch Do you hire for other engineering roles (besides this one or the sales positions l

CPU Technology like Intel Software Guard Extension or AMDs Secure Memory Encryption closes that gap as well. It's not magic and might be flawed in its current forms - I'm no expert on that - but I do believe in a not too far away

I agree, but how do you argue for that? I work with a customer where every application has to have a dedicated environment, running on VMs in a seperate VPC on a private cloud. The default DB is a galera cluster with 3 nodes, even for the m

I agree, even if it were running perfectly after installation Apple could break that combination anytime (intentionally or just by accident) with an update, and not doing updates is clearly also a bad idea.

To be honest, not sure how well I would do in such a test. Other than simple household math etc I had little contact with anything I once learned at school. Use it or loose it. I'm sure I could relearn most of it quickly, but after a f

I'm sure almost everybody here is already aware of it, but since it is so important: Correlation does not imply causation The author is doing a good job not mixing them up, and just uses common sense for her reasoning.

A SAN gives you block storage - virtual hard disks. You will need a cluster filesystem to be able to use the same virtual disks on multiple machines concurrently, which are not easy to operate and have their own bunch of performance problem

I'm using Scaleway for some experimental stuff, and it's great value for that. I did not like that I am bound to their kernel on bare metal. There are setups that require kernel modules they don't provide, like DRBD. I got th

I am kind of thankful for this. It gave us immediate time budget to switch our certificate process over to Letsencrypt. I'm also glad it does not affect existing certs, since we need some weeks to ramp up the LE certs because of the 20

Not to be too nitpicky, but it is not used to run "the auto shop". It is essentially part of a drive shaft balancing machine. We should think of it as the embedded controller and display of the machine to understand why nobody wou

Probably a 5 minute downtime at 4 AM is overall preferable to a continuously unstable connection. Of course an entity like a hotel should just pony up the money for better hardware, but I could excuse that for an (Air)BnB or guest house or

This makes it look like getting a logo is easy and quick. And it can be, probably. It's not my area of expertise, but I would expect there are some pitfalls just like with company names, app branding and other branding/trademark s
