I had a Centris 610 with an ITAR restricted motherboard. Even the people at the Apple store were jealous. The Centris 650 could run LabVIEW, but the stock 610 could not as it emulated certain instructions which LabVIEW relied on. Apple sold

The mathematical derivative in its classic origin story comes from setting something paradoxically to zero. But it can't actually be zero, because then our math breaks: "the lingering essence of a departed quantity". The deri

Yes, like desktop publishing compared to traditional printing. Its output is comparatively shitty but average people will settle for it on account of its democratization. My context was feature factory web dev versus low / no code rath

I learned to drive mechanical transmissions, and in fact my pickup truck is the first vehicle I've ever owned with an automatic transmission. I also ride motorcycles. "One pedal" or "compression" braking is a given;

Self-hosting allows you to block trackers at the DNS level. =) Depending on your level of hands-on you can block rentable infrastructure that trackers use and whitelist the apps which coincidentally also rent compute in that space. You can

A problem which has made the news repeatedly is services where an e.g. password reset doesn't reset / invalidate the session key. How many cases of ridiculously short session expiry are masking cases where the service is unable to

I watched the video. He's trolling his hypothesized pearl clutchers. I'm sure I share the same critics. Actually most of the talk is open source intelligence basics and utilization of DNS for nonpublic purposes. Good sell regardin

Fetish for pearl clutchers; prove me wrong.

It's trackers. I don't block ads, I block trackers. I block large swathes of rentable name / address space (being vague, don't know you, protecting my TTPs) that trackers like to rent by default; anything that lives in t

Yet any arbitrary sequence (e.g. of bits) has an equal probability of occurring in a random bitstring. 111111 is equally likely as 100110 or 010101. Asked "which one is random?" most people would say the middle one (even people wh

ANY is definitely a trap for the overconfident, as it is a qtype without a corresponding rdtype. Is there a wildcard for class? You got me there, I'd have to go look it up and I'm up to my armpits in something else at the moment.

Don't use the word "abuse" unless it's in the sense of "SOAP and XHR are an 'abuse' of HTTP". The IN (internet) class is the evolutionary "towering cedar" of the moment, but there were the C

DNS is everywhere. It offers massive caching potential. It is well-understood and there are multiple, interoperating, implementations. It is a data diode, which is to say read-only, which can simplify some risk assessments related to attack

I spend a lot of time with DNS (it just happened, man) and I see the same general thing where a lot of intention and expertise is imputed to others. True systems thinking around large systems is rare. Buffer Bloat (and the lack of progress

Would have upvoted except for that last sentence. There is no such thing as a perfectly good airplane, at least as long as "perfect" means flawless rather than good enough. Granted, there is a whole dance for accepting the risk fr

"Low code" is not just literally some software library with a GUI on top. There is a whole CI / CD pipeline which kicks into gear. What does that GUI do, and what does it look like? In some fashion or other it lets you compos

People have the wrong mindset about all this. The most continuously integrated / continually deployed code process in the world is desktop publishing. You draw. You press print. Something prints. Contrast to printing per se: You have s

Wow. Lots of thoughts. First off, if we're talking about the same thing(s) I'm in violent agreement. However I question that congruence. First observation is that one light isn't a reliable on/off indicator because the l
