Although it says that this list is "for 2020" it seems pretty outdated at a glance through. They've got items like Twistlock which got bought by Palo Alto in July 2019, and another one in the security section they mention has

Microsoft's Wayland based Linux GUI support with WSL2 is in development ( https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/whats-new-in-the-... ) . That'll hopefully be a good solution for that usecase in the not too

There are decentralized exchanges, the question is whether they'll see large scale adoption, particularly from less technical astute users. Also to be successful for the general public, they'll need fiat on and off ramps (at least

If I read the article correctly it said that Paypal would take payement in cryptocurrencies and then pay the merchants with fiat. That means they will need to hedge the risk of a change in exchange rate between buying and settlement (for ex

It's not a community decision, it's a decision by private corporations (binance, coinbase et al) often driven by government regulation (e.g. KYC)

unfortunately for most commercial transactions related to cryptocurrency (at scale) decentralization already seems largely dead. When you look at the aftermath of exchange hacks (e.g. the recent kucoin hack), and see how quickly funds are f

This should be interesting. I'll be particularly interested in seeing how Paypal handles KYC for the cryptocurrencies it buys and how it manages pricing variations, where they're paying merchants in Fiat. Also all the people at Te

Whilst I have no inside information on Apple, I'm pretty sure that'd be a tiny portion of the traffic they see daily. They may blackhole you just to cut down the noise, but frankly given the level of DDoS they'll get regularl

I'd guess they'll take our their home connection's networking kit at 10M pps before they take out the target server(s). Tools like massscan generally send 1-2 packets per port, so a target host just has to deal with < 130k

Individual users running massscan et al, are not going to produce anything like the level of traffic all the major providers (and quite a few sitest that aren't that large) see from DDoS attacks on a pretty regular basis. Given that th

Apart of course for Stablecoins (e.g. Tether) where they can print as much as they want, whenever they want. And as long as the exchanges go along with it, their value per coin stays the same. The biggest of all of these (tether) has a dail

From a financial exchange and price setting perspective, they are absolutely key to how the current cryptocurrency market works. if Binance, Kraken, Bitfinex, Coinbase et al shut down tomorrow, what do you think would happen to the price of

regulation (in the UK at least) means that in many cases, if someone steals money from my bank account, I get it back. Compare that with what's happened to many cryptocurrency exchanges where they have losses (e.g. quadriga) and the co

I've not tried it but I don't think minikube would work inside WSL as it needs a VM layer (I suppose technically it could with nested virtualization). TBH for throwaway Kubernetes cluster in WSL, I'd recommend kind ( https:

If you're talking about time to launch a container, that's nothing like the times I'm seeing, is there perhaps a problem with your setup? time docker run -d nginx 0c65064fc675427f0d49b837f368b6d17c3b42b2aa21bf80222baeb7ed20ed

The major benefits over a fully managed VM from my exp. with it have been - easy integration with the Windows filesystem (it's automounted into the WSL env) - Using VS Code to work with files in the WSL2 env. works out of the box (just

IME Docker for Windows works pretty well with WSL2. it just mounts the socket file into the WSL2 instance from the Docker instance, for most purposes it's pretty seemless. There are some oddness with things like `--net=host` as the dae

So if I'm understanding correctly, your theory is that MS will be expecting Windows servers with DirectX and WSL to be the targets for ML production workloads? Instead of Linux servers in Azure... Wouldn't developers just write na

Supporting Wine would cost Microsoft money and not make them much/any money, why would they do that? On the other hand, supporting VS Code, Terminal, WSL2 makes them money by helping boost their cloud services, so it makes sense to spe

If you're going to do Windows specific GUI development, why would you go to the hassle of using DirectX/WSL at all? Why not just do native Windows development? If you're not doing native development on Windows 'cause you

From a Microsoft perspective, this feels like damned if you do and damned if you don't. If they didn't embrance linux style tooling, they get told that they're anti-open source and that Macs will always be a better developmen

by raesene9 6y ago
I've got to say, I don't agree with this. The predicate of the argument appears to be that the team managing the VA/SAST platform will be able to block adoption of new technologies if their tooling doesn't support them.

I'll take a wild assed guess at it, what follows is pure speculation. Many of Softbank's portfolio companies are not doing well (e.g. Uber, WeWork), and they're starting to get a bit anxious about whether they'll be able

Even when you get past the annoying pop-ups, reddit on mobile is still a pain, slow and misses a lot of taps. My solution to this has been to use old.reddit.com, which is (IME) a much nicer experience, faster and more responsive.

One small note of caution there is that using managed k8s solutions has some consequences for flexibility of what you can do. For one example, in most managed k8s setups, you can't change the admission controllers used on a cluster unl
