So I guess it is going to take years. Generally, open source software benefits from more users. But having a huge amount of users makes it more difficult to improve and cleanup because you can't just deprecate stuff easily. (like SSL2

I used to think that; but I'm following Dan Boneh's crypto course on Coursera at the moment, and he specifically notes that you should not even try to implement known algorithms yourself (for production; you could do it ofcourse f

One of the cliches about crypto is that you should not implement your own crypto. Not to suggest that the authors don't know what they are doing, but they mention 'alpha' quality themselves on the site. I wonder, how long doe

It seems to me that many big companies are asking for Java + Angular skills these days; and that many new projects are build using that stack. This has the effect that it is still very worthwhile to learn Angular 1. I don't think it is

I (also Dutch) also have never heard about this practice of using your right hand to open the left door. It's an interesting idea, but certainly not common practice. I have never in my entire life seen anyone open their door like that.

To give a concrete example: My company deploys wireless sensor networks. Each sensor periodically reports its battery status, which we store in a database so we can see which sensors need their battery replaced. Recently we found out that s

I see you're on your way down from the Western Sahara into Mauretania. I was there in 2006 and the border is fascinating: it's a no mans land stretching for several kilometres, basically a minefield, with tons of burnt down car wr

I'm very happy with Dropwizard ( http://www.dropwizard.io/ ) which is great for building REST services. I think it is quite similar to Spring boot (haven't used that).

I fully agree. Ansible has a small learning curve. There is little effort in getting started, since it runs over ssh without any daemons or agents required on the managed hosts. For finding playbooks, you can also look at https:/&#x2F

I can see how that would work for stateless services. Just build a new image and discard the old one. But what do you do when you want to change my MySQL config file? Create a new image and somehow transfer the data? Or are the datastores s
