The problem of running TCP over Anycast addressing tends to be overblown. Cloudflare, for example, does all of their client-facing HTTP traffic over Anycast and so you can consider that as existence proof for it being a viable strategy. R

I should clarify that we are not pinning the organization information in the certificate or relying on it; just the fact that it’s an EV certificate.

My company pays for an EV certificate, and we pin our clients to expect EV certificates in the corresponding domain names. This gets us most of the benefits of standard certificate pinning without coupling us to any specific private key or

But is the densified fuel actually needed to fly the Dragon 2 to a LEO destination? Can SpaceX do their Falcon 9 HSF missions the old fashioned way, making the safety of load-and-go a moot point?

Love the first reply to the release announcement: Hi Marc, thanks for releasing this. I found it to be a useful little program, however the Look&Feel seems a bit dated. Best regards, Manuel

IP addresses accumulate reputations as well as background noise traffic bound for them. While "plenty" of these recovered addresses exist, there is something to be said for being able to get allocations of unused addresses.

Apple Watch being tied to specific carriers has more to do with the feature set required by Apple (primarily, sharing the same MSISDN between the iPhone and the Watch) than anything directly related to the eSIM. I would imagine that they (A

"What's the root cause of success?" really is a nice and succinct way of illustrating the problem with root cause analysis. Of course, a million business book writers fancy themselves capable of answering that question, in ab

Back when they chose this design for SNI, I’m sure someone argued that it was fine because DNS had already leaked the hostname anyway :)

Not really. Typically the query includes much more information (the site you want to visit) than the response (an IP potentially shared by thousands or millions of sites).

Here's a quick ELI5 style question: what are the implications of Meltdown mitigations on microkernel architectures (vs monolithic designs)?

But it's not just a random patch posted to LKML, it has also been reviewed and merged to tip. That means it has been justified, just not to you.

Seems unlikely to me that a new fleet of supersonic aircraft would use engines from a bomber that first flew in 1952[1]. I am assuming that modern engines would not have "similar particle emissions". For example, I would imagine t

Tell me more about this nominal independence. The biggest state owner of IAG (BA’s corporate parent) is Qatar. Lufthansa is fully privatized. France owns ~15% of Air France-KLM.

That’s Boom’s business plan explicitly. Cut down the flight time to a couple of hours and you don’t need to offer a bed, making the per seat cost comparable.

Plenty of airlines have replaced 747s with A380s. British Airways, Lufthansa, Air France and Qantas immediately come to mind.

Cloudflare is (among other things) a CDN/cache. haproxy does not cache.

Not sure to what extent keeping up with the Joneses is a factor here (or indeed which party is the one trying to keep up), but Apple recently moved to a userspace/in-process TCP/IP stack in iOS 11 (and in the corresponding watchOS

APFS landed in iOS 10.3. One cool thing Apple did was a planetwide dry-run of the HFS+ to APFS migration in a previous iOS update. They did the whole convert operation, except the very final bit, and presumably collected metrics about failu

There is no truly serverless alternative, although since the API for invoking Lambda functions synchronously is free, you can possibly roll your own API Gateway (assuming you are OK with having servers for that). But my point was more abo

One key takeaway here is that in a typical serverless API setup, the AWS API Gateway will actually end up costing more than the Lambda compute. According to the breakdown in this post the Mercury Web Parser API isn't an exception. I do

Apparently on iOS 11, even the case-sensitive variant of APFS will be normalization-insensitive. Previously it looked like this would only be the case on macOS's case-insensitive APFS variant. Anyway, it looks like the issues raised in

It's not about Krakow per se. But when a company works towards specific targets like "90/10 supplier offshore ratio", rather than metrics based on quality or efficiency, I don't think quality comes first.
