What the article calls "devops" I call just "ops." If the engineers writing the system also run the system, then they are "devops." "Ops" proper is much older than "at least 20 years" becaus

Another good reason to keep CI locked out from other networks is to make sure all asset references are properly rewritten. Of summertime hard codes an open internet source or, even worse, an internal source, that will generate a 404 when te

The malware would use some other mechanism, or would use some semi common mutex name. Something out of Photoshop or AutoCAD or whatever, to really annoy enterprise licensees of AV tools that went for that mechanism. (I assume most of those

Getters/setters are important when the data structure is used from a different linkage unit than where it is defined, and binary compatibility across versions is important. That doers happen, but usually in fewer cases than most interm

The GoF book is a dictionary. When it came out, we all got names for patterns we use when appropriate. The thing that must die is over-reliance on formalisms where they don't add value. (Because there absolutely are places where they d

In some sense, every company is always at risk of failure. Fortunes can turn quickly. Also, every success story has a few tense nail biters on the way. If you are an employee (not a founder,) then keep a rainy day fund on hand, and leave if

Most of the oxygen we breathe comes from plankton. But we don't particularly care for or about the ocean -- we don't see it, and we can make money by ignoring its health. It's the American Way (tm)!

You can also get QuickCheck for Erlang, although that stays at the Erlang fuzzing level, not AFL style branch fuzzing. Still, finds bugs!

Even with only 25% growth per realloc, you hit logarithmic overhead (only with a higher k because more actual copying.)

One thing I didn't see in the article: in addition to cache misses, the list stores 3 words per word; the array between 1 and 2 (up to 3 only when reallocating,) so array touches less RAM, even when inserting.

No, I'm pretty sure this has always been the case. Some early adopters lost data when it was on local volumes and not backed up, and everybody who paid attention learned from the public post mortems. Separately, even hardware you own a

That funny, because one of my beefs with Amazon is that they charge a lot for bandwidth! Once you're in a co-lo, high quality bandwidth just isn't that expensive.

There should be integration tests for documentation. Maybe some machine learning could be applied to that? Maybe I should set that up on some cloud service. Let me check the documentation for how to do that...

Any open (as in secret-less) P2P discovery protocol will eventually be hacked and used by people not-you. I just wish there was an open standard, secure, home device discovery and management protocol.

Given that you put the letters together, it is a word. The only question is how many understand it, and which dictionaries (if any) you can find it in.

Why is it bad to use case sensitive alpha plus digits plus two punctuation? The article already uses 62 chars (minus the two punctuation.) If you encode fewer bits per character, you get a longer key but no more security.) Raw binary: 16 by

"Hashing" and "random keys" are different. The author keeps mentioning "hashing" but it's "number of true random bits" that matters. If the generation of those keys uses pseudo random data, time,
