It's funny they chose a plumber as a venue to venture to. IMO it's the closest to software engineering in terms of need to use hacky workarounds for the projects that were broken beyond repair by neglect or previous contractors (e

Bounty scale surprises me a lot. I always thought that the main incentive of any bug bounty program is to make it more attractive for any severe 0-day to not get onto black market and instead be compensated fairly by the company. Isn't

I'm looking at worst cases cause they're really likely to hit you not when you have enough time to tinker and solve it, but when you have other more important things to do. I self-host a lot, including a smart home setup that is

And then you've lost all your data cause an SD card was not rated for extreme write endurance. You repeat all that using better SD card or just a cheap PC with an SSD. You add backups. Then you realize you need to access this setup whi

I was responsible for a website (one of a many of this kind) that provided access to a niche auction platform. At some point in the beginning of 2010s it became a subject of a precisely coordinated series of timed attacks designed to disrup

Yeah, in my youth all my PCs were built by hand from the components (due to cost reasons more than anything else). But now I feel that this is not such an easy task anymore as components have to be carefully selected to not introduce a bott

Some people have smart mirrors or any other kind of 'news display', so it may be useful for them to scrape the data they may think relevant (this may be weather data, stocks, or even the new Nintendo Switch availability at their n

iOS updates are not exactly fast either. I've never seen latest iPad or iPhone updating in less than ~10 minutes, even for minor changes with the ~200-300 Mb update size.

Nobody will store their data _now_. If in 2-3-5 yrs it's proven to be both durable & highly available (I'm looking at your maintenance windows, B2) I don't see a lot of reasons not to move away from S3 as this should be p

Not only that, but in Russia you may be slapped with the fine for the 'propaganda of suicide' (I shit you not it's the real law) if you even discuss suicide on more or less popular platform.

It's one thing to expect companies to act on their own initiative, but to do nothing when the problem is proactively reported to them borders on negligence.

I think they're still PaaS and not IaaS. So yes, you can build fully-fledged app with them if you're willing to change your engineering paradigm and not use any of the usual arbitrary computing workloads.

Large scale commuting adoption seems unlikely. Usually JR sells commuter passes at approximately 50% of price of daily roundtrips between destinations, for Nagoya-Tokyo on current shinkansen this will come to ~$2.5k/mo. No way this is

Yes, I've read this. Unfortunately that's not enough if you have 3rd party themes or plugins installed.

Some commercially available themes do it during installation. I was surprised to find that also as this contradicts every instinct I have as a web developer.
