Breaking any absurd law, by that logic, is "opt-in".

Big CircleCI fan- it's everything I wanted Travis to be.

Highly doubtful, considering the spreads between even highly regulated exchanges

Definitely worth a healthy dose of skepticism and a code review.

Salting is to cover password reuse across services. If you already have the keys to the kingdom for a service you can almost certainly access a user's session

Not if you salt and choose a strong hash algorithm. Salting is what keeps a leaked hash from hurting a user's security

Same for us. We're migrating to GKE but are accessing Postgres over a gateway and leaving our DB heavy services on AWS... This was very good news.

Ah, sounds like a terminology issue. Sorry if this get pedantic, but I wanted a solid response for anyone who stumbles on this thread down the road. Fixed-point is a way of doing math, as well as a data representation. Think of it as keepin

This is a fairly settled issue in finance AFAIK, but to the arguments. When doing math in finance, we need to be explicit about the precision we use, because we're counting finite things. Things like significant figures and rounding ma

Such a casual vulnerability disclosure

Use fixed-point decimal math.
494.
by mhluongo 10y ago
That is not the correct way. The correct way is to use fxed-decimal math, and pay careful attention to rounding. No floats. Not even once.

For me, it's mostly the number of concepts and the fact that they need to be known upfront. None of them are particularly difficult, but I've done ops for a bit and gone from manual sysadmin on bare metal to Puppet to Chef to Salt

We've been using docker-compose for dev but still used eg Salt and hand written deploys for production. We basically used docker parity between dev machines, and are now taking it into production

Hoping this helps with the Kubernetes learning curve. We've just started migrating and keeping track of the terminology has been tough.

So you're against boycotts and people voting with their dollars? This is a core part of capitalism. If you don't like something, don't support it.

For the second one, I believe you can still ID what sites a user is likely using if you're in the middle, regardless of https, via eg reverse IP lookups- just not what they're sending to that site. A VPN covers that.

Not at all. Like many in the space, I've had to consider and come to terms with the fact that this might be the best version of Bitcoin we have, forever. But that's not politics being ignored- this is still a group of humans who c

The market also includes miners. Do they appear excited to activate Segwit? As I understand it, they're waiting for a HF blocksize proposal to go with it. Many of the businesses in that list that preparing for Segwit, but would still p

In eg the US, a domestic wire will cost you $30. In the US and EU I believe, credit card fees are much worse (1.5-3%). If paying internationally cross-currency, you'll often lose quite a bit in the exchange. Though I see that you said

The Core devs signed an agreement with these miners a year ago in Hong Kong, and the agreement was broken. Here are the consequences. Clearly, politics won't be ignored- or Segwit would be on track for activation.
505.
by mhluongo 10y ago
Aware of how Segwit activation works, thanks. I'm speaking to the miners' motivations. They've been asking for a simple blocksize increase for quite some time. See the HK agreement if you don't get the politics.

Appreciate the pragmatic, user-focused view. There's rarely empathy for new users in this space, and it's refreshing.

Erm, targeted at? You mean he would have, what, written it in Chinese? Note he said most businesses are looking for Segwit activation + a hard fork blocksize increase (ours included). The "Chinese miners" have expressed that desir

Depends heavily on your data access patterns. If you need eg recursive queries or pattern matching, you might be better served by a graph database.

Then why is this trend so different between disciplines? And why does it impact STEM and higher-salary jobs more? What about in other countries, like Malaysia, where IIRC there are more women in engineering (or at least computer science)? Y
