I suspect an Apple Silicon equivalent to Ampere’s Altra (which can go to 80-core today per socket and 128-core soon) would absolutely devastate these Geekbench scores on a tricked out Mac Pro. If you want to make an apples to oranges comp

Interesting that Project Zero considers this “High” severity, and GitHub says “Moderate”. Legitimate disagreement between security teams, or is GitHub applying spin and trying to downplay the severity, in light of there being no easy fix?

But again, is that comparable? Seems like apples versus oranges. What’s the connectivity into your 7+ year old asset cost? What about the space, power and cooling to provide it a home? What happens when your environment gets attacked by a v

Hi Ron. If you're still employed by Oracle, it might not be a bad idea to disclose that, either in the specific comments where you may be talking (semi-)authoritatively about Java and its licensing / commercial model, or within yo

Since they need internet connectivity to phone home status to McCloud, I don't know why they wouldn't just run an NTP client to keep their time synchronized and accurate? Moreover the $750 you reference must be a commercial produc

Speculating: They have a very impressive YoY % growth rate in their AWS business and likely chew through a /10 per year for IP addresses within that.

Its been appreciating slowly for the last 5 years, I’ve seen deals in the $20-25 range throughout that time, and a few larger contiguous blocks going for a little more but not $50/ea. You can monitor secondary market prices through RIP

Zerodium is probably the closest thing to a “legitimate” acquirer of exploits, those which aren’t being disclosed to the vendor and then fixed.

Even products like High APY savings accounts are under 1% at the moment, so 50% into a Swiss account is unlikely to provide a large return. Also, why Swiss, and what currency would you hold in that institution? One thing to consider is prot

Never heard of this publication. Somewhat concerning that viewing articles asks me to disclose my location to the website.

In this case it’s the personal blog of their CTO, and I expect “distributed” here is actually a reference to distributed systems.

Sure but one thought experiment is what if we put more of our datacenters underwater? I expect AWS us-east-1 now adds up to over a gigawatt of critical load so if submerged in the ocean off Virginia what would be the effects, and how would

They gave the milk away for free. You only needed to pay if you wanted their super-opinionated delivery pipeline or needed lots of support using Chef. I worked in a couple places which used Chef and paid for 1-2 years but eventually termina

Initial reaction to seeing HN showing me “AWS Boilerplate (github.com)” was I thought AWS had launched a new service and it was potentially open source. Please consider renaming to something like ‘Boilerplate for AWS’ since it would avoid c

That wasn't my point though. If you normally take 3 prefixes and suddenly you are receiving 800k+ prefixes then that likely classifies as "unexpected" (and avoidable since you can define max prefixes accepted per session). I

If it was a BGP peer who normally sends you 3 prefixes with under a /20 in aggregate and they suddenly started sending you a whole table, or if you allowed a peer to send you a default route, then both of those are highly avoidable thr

It’s a little hyperbolic, those are generally just datacenters. They’ve got lots of fiber running through them, sure, but most of the “blacked out windows” is being dramatized. Structural reinforcements as mentioned for datacenters are also
