I was disappointed in that one unfortunately. Too much name dropping of random pieces without offering any insights why they are needed. You learn much more just skimming through a wiki article.

Site appears to be russian propaganda. (Article about Ukrainian history claims "it doesn't have one" and just goes on and on about it belonging to russia). Flagged.

I mean they should, film can get damaged too. The reason they don't are probably because it would be too expensive, bulky and film is single-use so also wasteful. Even hobby level DSLRs have two card slots with option to write to both.

But there is no transitive locking like package manager lockfiles. So if I depend on good/foo@hash, they depend on bad/hacked@v1 and V1 gets moved to malicious version I get screwed. This is for composite actions. For JS actions w

All my coworkers who mainly used AWS before say that. I agree with you, but my AWS experience is quite limited, so what do I know. But I feel like being used to something + grass being greener on other side both play a big role in these opi

Maybe because there is evidence of fossil companies doing exactly that since the sixties? Benefit of doubt has it's place but this is just naivety or outright trolling.

I mainly use GCP but keep hearing how great AWS is in comparison. Imagine my surprise when porting some GCS code to S3 last year and realizing there is no way to get consistency guarantees without external lock service.

Also in spreadsheet you can do proper computation, reference other values, make VLOOKUPs. So much better than YAML where the entire ecosystem seems to pretend there isn't a need for abstraction in configs.

Aren't most media players (by market share) just wrapper around, most often out of date, libffmpeg? Famously a huge pile of old C/assembly? I'm not shitting on ffmpeg, it's a great project but let's call it what it

Redis as ephemeral cache is ok, but nothing extra. Redis as transactional, distributed and/or durable storage is pretty poor. Their "active active" docs on conflict resolution for example don't fill me with confidence gi

That's the product. I'm not questioning the price of those, but the price of components vs markup Show me the IGBTs and inductors that cost 90k.

Nice! Might travel to Berlin for this. Any idea how non-german-speaker friendly this will be? The hackerspace website is german only, but I'm hoping we can expect most attendees / sellers to speak english?

I could have written it nicer but I was annoyed. Thanks for calling me out. But I stand by the point. What is not clear? If A attacks B, and B would be happy to revert to back to state before the attack, then C saying it's not it'

Neutrality is bullshit for cowards who want to profit from both sides. Neutrality is siding with the aggressor.

It also creates horrible incentives. Oh I won't run this in isolated project or under a separate service account since that costs more, let's just pile everything together.

Four hours and still broken for me. Not sure if we will get a postmortem but very curious what went wrong. Good luck to SREs over there! (I know, they would say luck is not a strategy)

Yeah exactly, as also others point out in the thread, if you want "TV-sized monitor" you will pay more than for a TV, and probably get worse panel, lower brightness, etc. Hence it would be useful to buy "smart" TV and tu

Is there an equivalent of DDWRT/OpenWRT but for TVs? Most often those are some embedded linux board running some Android fork, shouldn't there be some TV models on the market that are a good hardware/price deal with firmware

I recommend putting all these things on their own VLANs with strict routing rules. For example my STB is on a VLAN that has WAN access (otherwise it won't do anything), but that makes it untrustworthy so it is completely isolated from
