   I anticipate some kind of open source / crowd sourced ALPR app will become the public's answer to these private data collection systems. Everyone has a dash cam and a cell phone in their car. It wouldn't take much to run loca

   I'm convinced BB went extinct because despite having first mover advantage in their game changing blackberry messenger app, RIM refused to make it cross platform. Instead of becoming Whatsapp, they built a moat around themselves thinki

   It _was_ both the first and the most useful ML powered app I'd ever used and I couldn't get my credit card out fast enough after trying it. Now it won't leave me alone about new features I don't give a fuck about.

   I've been creating slides with markdown and revealjs for my day job as an instructor for several years. I've also used obsidian and quarto for markdown->slide creation for a handful of meetups / conferences. This month I t

   The impression I got, and I'd be happy to have someone help me improve this impression, is that it's a way to craft a CA that behaves the way you want as opposed to the traditional approach to studying CA's which involves tin

   While we're thinking about it, something I always wanted when I was working support. The abilitiy to "upvote" a bug from within a support case. That way a PM can sort open issues by number of users who are griping about it.

    I think fullstory.com does this or something very like it. Not affiliated, just friends with some folks who work there.

    It's a continuation of a trend in which open source projects mimick the functionality of a tool called Firebase that Google bought in 2014 and is now part of Google Cloud (see also supabase and pocketbase). All these projects seem to b

    Huh. Does this mean that the AWS terraform provider could implement state locking without the need for a DDB table the way the GCP provider does?

    I googled "verbatimicity" and all I could find was stuff published by rev.ai which didn't (at a quick glance) define the term. Can you clarify what this means?

    Heya, infosec nerd and titanfall fan here. Can you elaborate on the bit where apex was referred to as titanfall3? I didn't notice anything about apex in the accompanying JSON in that section of the writeup.

    Yes, it got me a full time job out of the blue. I am an operations type person and got thrown into using K8s at work in 2017 and Istio in 2021. I blogged about my struggles with both and the guy who would eventually hire me found my blog an

    I have very little math knowledge and point 2 surprises me. Some quick googling suggests that a linear model should produce a straight line when graphed but the example equation you offered isn't straight. I'm missing something ba

    What header? Our client was envoy and it's pretty standards compliant, and it just kept trying to use the connection. Edit: I see that it is `connection: close` I wonder if that is new behaviour or if envoy did not honour it at the tim
