I would think that people who care about their privacy, would be anti anything that reminds them of totalitarianism and therefore would also not like that Apple can decide what they can install on their devices. It's curious to see tha

Thanks. I just contacted their support with some pre-sale questions and had a very quick and good answer. I'll give them a try!

Tea and coffee pots are everywhere in computer history. This status code. The utah teapot you describe which kicked of 3d rendering and the first webcam was specifically made to film a coffee pot.

That's to disable the services, which is not what this is about. You don't need to do any of that to stop updates/update checks.
366.
by kabes 6y ago
No they won't. You can configure windows out-of-the-box to completely disable updates (it won't even check to see if there's updates). And there's all kinds of settings in-between.

I moved back to Europe from SV for a lesser paying job (not 1/6th though) because I thoroughly hated the bay area / US. I got a way better quality of life here (Belgium).

With your proposed method, the single attack point becomes the email account.

by kabes 6y ago
Also this part is very weak: > When a service enables SMS-2FA, an attacker can simply move to a different service. This means that a new attack isn’t necessary, just a new service. If you implement 2FA you do it to protect the user accou

Not a lot of companies can get away with selling $6000 packages on which they'll never be able to deliver.

The problem is that managers at small companies with some, but insufficient, technical knowledge also read these articles and think they need to do the same. I come across overengineereed stuff at small companies all the time for things the

Thanks for pointing that out. I read an (old) article on the engineering behind it and they keep a lot in memory. So it makes sense to cap this somehow.

So you basically only pay based on amount of queries? Dataset size doesn't matter? We have an expensive elastic search setup. It's expensive because of the amount of data it contains. But we don't run a lot of queries. So wit

From a technological perspective, streaming with a couple of seconds delay is a world of difference from streaming with sub-second latency. You can account for network dynamics with more buffers, encode in higher quality, even using multipl

Im regards to webRTC: vp8 supports temporal layers, h264 does not. Meaning you can encode and upload 1 stream while participants with different network conditions can be served the best possible framerate. Vp9 and av1 also support spatial l

That's indeed one of its selling points. But most products I see that adopt graphql are exactly 1 database.

"You have to calculate the burden of the query before you execute it so you don't end up crashing your database." This sounds like disaster waiting to happen.

Cool. A couple of questions: 1. I can see you offer polls and chat, but those are fairly common. What are the teaching specific stuff you think is most interesting? 2. I had a look at the code. I see you're using Meteor. How is your ex

How do they know it's fully functional without trying out how it reacts in every possible situation (which isn't really feasible)?

I think the main problem is that webRTC started from VOIP standards. That's why we're stuck with SIP and thousands of RFC's that seem very daunting for a newcomer to webRTC. I guess that's also why so many webRTC develop

You complain about SDP and about RPTTransceiver. But RTPTransceiver comes from ORTC, which was exactly introduced to avoid messing with SDP all the time. And you need it to specifiy simulcast layers. You don't need to use it.

Well, it's webRTC. So the main use case is live video streaming. But one would need to define 'live'. webRTC is really made for sub-second latency, which you need for conversations. If you don't require this you're

You said it yourself: it can be done peer 2 peer. A websocket will have a server in between.

The team behind kurento got hired by twilio some years ago. Now it's basically dead with some very minimal maintenance being done.
