If you don't refactor and update your dependencies regularly you can easily end-up in a corner. You can be hit by a bug in your dependencies, be it a functional one or a security one, but if your dependencies are completely out of date

> This is so disingenuous and reeks of a superiority complex Well, no. I doubt anybody on Earth (including bankers, billionaires or governments) truly can grasp all the ins and outs of money/debts creation and all the consequence it

Well, wealth allocation (through money and debt creation in our modern world) is a really complex topic. And it plays into various aspect of human knowledge and behaviors, from Maths and Physics to History, Sociology and Psychology. It&#x27

Well, to quote Jordan Sissel (author of Logstash) "Wiki means: where documentation goes to die". I found maintaining a good documentation inside a wiki tough. People (including me) will tend to create new pages willy nilly, never

Well, yes and no. For the assets, such as the physical aircraft, if left unattended for long, they will slowly degrade. And if a company fails, it's not that easy to recreate the same one from scratch, all the organizational structures

If it was fearmonguering, it was not intentional on my part. Sorry for that. Indeed I missed the mild cases which are not quantified but likely quite numerous.

The mortality rate of Covid-19 seems higher than that. The around 3% mortality rate is what you get by dividing the number of deaths by the number of infection (past and present) (as of today: 5359 / 140875 = 3.8%). But this is incorr

That's one way to see it. Another would be to say in the end, it's the same "mature" market, one more EV sell is most likely one less ICE sell. And it's not like EVs have tremendously changed the equation, the price

Also, another aspect to consider is what is the basic minimum to be integrated in society and exist socially. In the 20ies cars were not a social necessity, but beyond the 70ies, not having a car generally means partial social exclusion (mo

I feel it's slightly more complex than that. With a new significant portion of the workforce able to work, you enable on one side, new economic needs (more transports, more kindergartens, etc) and on the other side you enable more prod

you can pick very cheap domains with some tlds. For example, my .ovh is costing me around 4$ per year and there are probably even cheaper tlds.

Well, it's the first barrier. If you mess-up really bad you will have bad deliverability across the board. The mistakes can be numerous: * bad setup like broken DKIM * bad sending parameters like opening too many connections by IP to a

It can be quite hard to detect. A lot of this services will not have an easily recognizable marker. It can be for various reasons: * They can use these services themselves * They can support full customization of domains, including for the

A similar approach is used by distributions such as Debian/Fedora/Ubuntu/RHEL. In these distributions, you have tools ("pbuilder/*builder" in deb base distributions, "mock" in rpm based distributions)

IIRC, in the case of firefox, a key is generated at profile creation, and then the password saved are encrypted using this key. It's basically security through obscurity as the key stays clear text UNLESS the profile is protected by a

The eleven years old me was doing the contrary: starting a crappy/sticky PSU fan with a screwdriver not realizing there was a "slight" risk of electrocution (never got a chock however, I guess I was somewhat aware of the dang

Well, no. The Flamanville 3 EPR nuclear reactor is a mess (and I've seen it first hand, working on one of its subsystem a few years ago). The regulations bodies, aka the ASN (Agence de Surete Nucleaire) played its role, and uncovered v

No,France has not built any new nuclear power plant in decades, the only one being built (flammanville 3) is a mess, and there are goals to reduce the share of nuclear to 50%.

Well, in truth they most likely have something like a decade or so to adjust which is both not a lot and enough for such organizations to adjust. Sure some manufacturers will go bust and collapse, but other will adapt, and new ones will be

Well, no. Or at least no in the near futur. Debian dropped support of ppc32 with stretch.

Well, no (or at least I guess it depends which educational system you are talking about). On a few educational systems, you have dedicated curriculums for technicians and artisans/craftmen, with theory in classes, practice in labs and

Well, in this specific case, I think the best outcome would be for Apple to merge the module in the MAC OSX kernel so it's there by default, FUSE is kind of a de-facto standard and is clearly a widely useful piece of code. But, big pic

It's a bit more than cycles. The huge reduction in the XXth century was due to many factors. You start in the XIXth century with the development of Anarchism, which, to oversimplify, spawned various movements such as democratic sociali

IP laws were partially suspended/taken over (with after the war compensations) during WWI. I'm thinking for example of Marconi's patents for wireless communication or also a few weapons design. As for the contractors, the sto

An option to ignore some of the directories of the repository would be a nice addition (ex: ignoring ./vendor/ in golang repository). Otherwise, nice tool, thanks for creating and sharing it.

Well, it's not always so simple. If you are in a small team of 5 or 6 people, with less than 100 servers to manage, sure, it's doable. But if you are part of a very large team of 50 or more sysadmins, with a large infra in the tho

by kakwa_ 7y ago
Well, putting in place authentication can indeed be difficult, but making the ELK nodes only accessible by a limited set of IPs (preferably private ones) instead of being directly public facing should reasonably be expected.

That's not accurate. For years I have run Linux (Debian and Gentoo mostly) on various architectures, including on an old PowerBook Pismo (G3) and an IBM Power 5, and I have rarely encountered architecture related limitations. True, you
