This feels much too light to me. I'm not sure I can think of a worse thing to do to someone while interviewing them than discriminate against them based on a protected status, outside of proper criminal things. Discrimination (includin

I see plenty of discussion about CFAA being used against scrapers, particularly automated "bot" scrapers, but I don't see anything about alternative clients, where a human consumer of the service is barred from using the API.

I don't know the specifics about Twitter's API saga over the years but... why isn't this the case? Why does Twitter need to be involved on the client side with consumption of the API?

YouTube's copyright controls have been a constant sore spot for creators for years at this point. YouTube/Google seems uninterested in addressing the problems. It seems that improvement is either imperceptibly small or just outrig

Mildly off-topic, but I'm somewhat tired of the reuse of names for different software. Originally, I was confused by this post and why Substack would be using Norton Ghost. There's also the Android post-explotation framework and I

Yes. When we got a shipment of 1000+ servers that are all supposed to be cabled the same way, both internally and externally, the device naming made it easy to see when something got messed up. This allowed us to hold the system builder acc

I and multiple of my coworkers love systemd. We work in a "hyperscale" environment and we moved from sysvinit through Upstart to systemd at scale, predominantly on RHEL and a little Debian. We were all skeptical at first. But sysv

There is still a lot of demand for the not-latest-generation, "long tail" fab processes. Much of the long tail manufacturing was (is?) what the chip shortage was about, rather than the current generation. A good example is the aut

It's not just a web browser, though. It's the sole method to install software, most similar to a package manager on a desktop operating system. On your point, many package managers do have the ability to browse the remote index

I agree. I find canary or blue/green deployments paired with good rollback plans to be more valuable than a staging environment, yet I see them utilized less. I'm not sure why, though.

This is why I mention Chrome's web apps. I see these as a reasonable middle ground. They are a relatively low barrier to entry and could be used as a way to allow the user to opt into app-like behavior. Sites that the user hasn't

Thanks for posting this. I am increasingly frustrated with browsers' weak stance on user control. Hijacking back buttons, right clicks, copy functions, and other items has become quite commonplace and even expected. For example, YouTub

Specifically, more atomic commits make rollbacks easier when issues with a change are discovered after merge (e.g., in integration and user acceptance testing). In the very active code bases I've worked on, generating a rollback commit

I moved over to shellharden a while ago. It can actually apply the suggestions it makes. Aside from that, my employer is somewhat disapproving for GPLv3 tools, but MPL that shellharden uses is essentially auto-approved. https://g
