Most meats in a grocery store aren’t bought from the butcher directly, they’re pre-packed in a styrofoam tray then covered with plastic wrap. The seal is far from water tight, so the meat liquid leaks out on all the other packages sitting o

It’s pretty obvious that this will all be cloud based. I just don’t see people wanting to have a full rack of hardware in their houses, when many are already opting out of even small things like laptops in favor of mobile and iPads. The bus

This approach just doesn’t work when you have a significant number of outside parties and things to deal with. Doctors’ offices in particular often have calls coming from many different phone numbers and you just can’t rely on white listing

A VPN generally connects networks, so that’s probably overkill for a database connection, but sure you could use one. Or something like stunnel, etc. or you could just use the built in feature already in Postgres. Why such resistance to sim

This is out of context and has nothing to do with what they said. The comment is about how companies were already region locking content using technical means on DVDs, not anything to do with government involvement.

There have been multiple remote code execution vulnerabilities in the codec since that was last updated, and MS clearly does not plan to patch it. It’s a very bad idea to install this.

The biggest problem with Apache httpd is how many awful copy/paste blogs there are out there telling you how to do things on Ubuntu, which has no resemblance at all to actually managing httpd. Everything explains how to use some silly

Yes, that’s exactly the reason. Enforcing security is an endless black hole of effort that will increases exponentially with every new thing you need to support. So yes, reducing the number of things that need to be evaluated isn’t just som

The same effect can be seen by doing other things, like printing to PDF, or just changing the font to something you don’t normally use. For some reason the change of context itself makes the difference.

Many hiring teams will look at an experienced person as “too experienced” and won’t even offer the job to an otherwise good candidate. They justify it by saying things like “this position is too junior for them and they’ll just leave when t
