That's what happens when your executives vindictively outsource important software to the cheapest devshop they can find. You end up with a product being built by a team that by default has no sense of ownership. https://www

From a technical point of view yes, your own hosted static site is way more efficient, you have more control over the stack, scaling, better metrics, security etc, etc. From a business point of view it's more like...who the f*ck cares

There has to exist a difference between victim-blaming and people screwing up at their jobs. In the case of the SolarWinds attack, their management seemed to be quite technical and the attacker was just too strong/sophisticated, so Sol

I think Toronto should deffinitely pay for new more efficiently built housing. In my opinion it's better to let Google benefit than random offshore entities that are hoarding the majority of the empty new apartments in the city. Also,

I disagree with that, i think the various mix of cheap insecure IP-cameras present on any small store and elsewhere poses a far greater privacy risk than a well managed and frequently audited system one would expect from google. The cheap s

No it's not, the business product had the exact same spyware-like behaviour issues acting up after you'd uninstall it on MacOS. They had to push an entire mac security update just for that fix.

They could be screwing over a local company that developed the malware and, it's just good journalistic practice in general to protect your source.

It's a psychological matter, the more increased publicity the higher the likely hood of an illogical backclash against the person, especially if they live in places where the rule of law doesn't protect them well.

I really appreciate you reporting this, and understand that it's too late now but you should try to keep your source anonymous in a cases like this in case they get bad publicity where they live.

I think you just hit upon the most overlooked factor here, storage hardware. You can get an order of magnitude of benefit from moving to NVMe. Especially when you look at nvme benchmarks using small files , they can be over 10 times faster

Hate to break it to the author, but npm has been a raging dumpster-fire for over 4 years now. My personal advice on how to live with it: - Assume you will have to rewrite your app in a year or less from now and organize it as such. This won

I'm not entirely sure, it looks like for Skylake CPUs the L3 cache is no longer inclusive but instead acts as an extension of the per core L2 cache. https://www.anandtech.com/show/11550/the-intel-skylakex-revi

Yeah that is true, you are sharing L3 cache. In order to mitigate some of recent intel issues I think AWS actuallly has their own chip now on newer motherboards to handle the hypervisor duties securely. Otherwise, they'd do it in softw

You can if your company can afford to pay enough to hire an entire devops team in a short time.

I don't know the best way to put this, but for me the anectodal evidence i've seen, consisting mainly of tech articles and Elon Musk tweets, seems to point in this direction. Albeit facebook's data might probably show that th

What really sucks about all this is that they're actually ruining the credibility of lighthouse audits this way; what has been for years the best all-in-one automated performance+accessibility analysis tool for any web app/site an

I too dismissed the Gravitron cpus for a long time, until today actually when I saw the benchmarks. Man, I would not know if amazon was bribing anandtech or something, but the gravitron2s are they're wiping the floor here with Intel an

This is just my opinion but I think it's great for consumers and a good restriction for developers. As a consumer you shouldn't be running unsigned software because you're putting not only your data at risk but any data you h

A divident, while logically possible, may be practically quite difficult to implement and regulate effectively. Not that we shouldn't try to do it, it'll just be hard. I think there's a simpler way to solve this. This is jus

Me too, in exchange for a product I don't want to be confined to a form of payment which only allows one to give away rights to their data in exchange for the product. I'd like the legal right to always be shown the option to pay

30% is extemely steep and I think if it was 15% hardly anyone would complain. This is just my opinion, but a 30% tax is there because they provide something that the competition doesn't. And that is automated security updates by defa

I find the reasoning of this article pretty obnoxious to be honest. They start off with a valid argument, that if you treat engineers better than everyone else it creates resentment in other parts of the company and that makes sense. If th

Sorry I meant as in an older version of a library that an app has been built on and hasn't been updated or maintained for a few months. I should have put that better, the libraries themselves are not deprecated, their dependencies can

I would avoid doing state management in Typescript. It's still too early in my opinion. Use as many hooks and context as possible and keep your redux store as simple as you possibly can because if you end up with a deprecated state man

Stock markets haven't priced it in simply because people don't want to pay. Most nations that produce a lot of carbon waste would rather pay 0 for it and the lobbying is very strong to maintain the price of 0. If you start treatin
