The trick is to keep the silos losely coupled and small enough that you can understand it reasonably quickly. A component like the one in the article is pretty good like that. It just routes traffic according to weights. It doesn't car

It would be an awful precedent if you're not liable for crimes your agent commits, even when you've been clearly lax about security. It would mean you could effectively legally run a cyber crime gang by turning a blind eye and mai

So basically you think any opinion about someone else's opinion creates a paradox? And that's your opinion about an opinion?

Interestingly this happens with people too. Put sales-people in a box, set up strong incentives and lax enforcement of rules and you get Wells-Fargo ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wells_Fargo_cross-selling_scan... ) In

That's not it. I dont mind the article. I judge the person writing it because they are being silly. "I think I use screens too much so everyone should use screens less" is silly.

It's their site and they can do whatever they like, but it's pretty silly. If you want to avoid screens, avoid screens. Don't make your addiction my problem

Just another reason to stop using chrome and it's related browsers. If you don't want to hand the biggest ad company a monopoly over web-browsing, start using a gecko based browser like librewolf, zen, mullvad or firefox.

Pretty much... paranoid() seems to be the real durable() which isn't a great look for a database project. Being able to recover a db without corruption beyound losing the last few writes is a pretty useful feature, and buys a lot of pe

Those are easier in many ways as you don't need heroin or alcohol to survive and can avoid it completely If it's hard or not is more of a philosopical question about how much free will we have as people. Statistically they're

Why wait? If you feel unable to fix your diet without it, and you think it's safer to get on it, why not make it happen?

Without quantifying the cost to society that someone's web-browser crashes sometimes, it's hard to make a rational case that this issue is so dire that it needs specific regulation. I'm not sure making it illegal to sell cons

The point of the article is pretty much that you can pick stable technology instead of joining the treadmill of rewriting in whatever the new thing is. When people are rewriting rust programs in GoombaLang, C will still be around. When peop

Every story about how the US has awful internet has a comment like this. I suspect that the refusal to believe the US is worse at anything is part of the reason it never catches up in those areas.

The whole point of luksSuspend is to not have the encryption keys in memory, as that actually does mean they could be extracted by an attacker who has taken the hardware.

Btw, if you find yourself sending a lot of ports over ssh, you can also consider the option of having ssh start a socks5 proxy ssh -D 4711 -q -C -N user@host sets localhost:4711 up as a socks5 proxy you can tell your browser to use ... A wi

I've encountered people talking about turning down a promotion to not "get above a tax bracket". They have invariably been wrong and just not understood the basic math, or done any research. Lacking those basic skills might b
