While I mostly agree, many companies have a tech department of half a dozen people, and implementing and enforcing every good practice devops isn't always realistic. That said, I'd expect at least a backup of production, then agai

Induction doesn't require any contact what so ever. It works through cases, and will work even if you hold your device over the charger with air in between. Now induction certainly has it's own set of compromises, orientation bein

I'd love to see what kind of range we can expect from that haha. Still a great achievement for BLE! I have an iPhone and often find it via saying "Hey Siri", and have sorely wished for a way to locate more "mundane"

He's saying the article doesn't need to. The article is about how Eritrea manages without using cars like a traditional city does. The article itself is fairly barebones (not saying this is bad), it covers exactly what it wants -

I'm not sure you understand, when they say "everyone hallucinates all the time" they include you and me. Those hallucinations don't have to be "big" or disruptive. A hallucination is where your brains percepti

You'll either need a mesh network (higher latency) or you'll need a backbone (which is an ISP) so you'll still run into similar issues. Not to mention at the lower bands you have limited bandwidth, not just for yourself but f

Getting a satellite into space is ~50,000$ for a 1U cube sat when I looked around. You might be able to get NASA or somebody to send it up for free if it's educational and they have room. So it's getting cheaper for sure! While

You do know that "desktop linux" and "server linux" are the same thing, just with different default programs and configuration styles? I'd agree that yes, distros meant for desktop usage have less secure defaults, b

Running it on just 22 should be pretty effective on it's own. Large scale port scanning is semi-difficult, as you'll get banned really fast, even if you're just scanning an uncommon port. To pull it off, you'll either ne

I have to agree with you. I would really really love to use workers, but I'm having a hard time finding a use case. Sure it's closer to the user, but we're only saving 100ms? I get that certain applications benefit from thi
