I'm not a git expert, but how was the attacker able to push the stability branch directly to the Amazon owned repo? The PR would have been to merge the modified branch to main right?

Is anyone familiar with the matter able to comment on the use of Torq-set fasteners? Are they a standard for these sort of use cases? They seem to be used frequently in Aerospace? I tend to use Torx whenever possible, are these better? Or

I remember my first professional job in 2008 and noticing the lifts in the building had ashtrays in them. I couldn't fathom smoking in such a confined space with others!

My sister-in-law swam the channel a few weeks ago, under the supervision of a pilot from the linked association. A direct point to point swim is around 33km. Due to the tides and the timing of her swim it was a 58km crossing. Incredible!

I feel folks overcomplicate this. At least for the the HN crowd, it is totally possible to eat mostly non-processed, fresh food, don't drink too much booze, and get an average of 30 minutes of incidental exercise a day. Those three thi

Ha, I did have hassio running on a pi, but it killed the SD card twice. Apparently a common issue just due to to the volume of writes...

I'm using an Acer laptop that must be 15 years old for pfsense, never misses a beat, built in UPS! I've got a second laptop, a MacBook air from 2012 running a bunch of containers for Plex, hassio, etc. Works fine. I've got it

Not just startups[1]. AWS, among others I'm sure, have at least attempted to turn this man's intuition into a little yellow box and an algorithm. Scaling to many thousands of machines at once, instead of just the ones he happens t

I previously worked in this space and have a fair bit of experience optimising AWS spend for customers. Cool idea! I see the pain point you are addressing here is friction in the marketplace, rather than simply cost optimisation? Traditiona

I'm not familiar with Hetzner at all. But it seems they are running a single self managed VM to serve these updates globally, and then comparing that to the cost of egress on a globally distributed content delivery network? What am I m

Yes, one of the core benefits of a provider like AWS is that they provide tooling to treat individual instances as immutable entities that you simply replace without any interruption to your users. You should focus on expressing the infrast

I'd be curious to see the typical rate of hearing degradation due to age graphed against typical income growth with age that would be required to support systems of this standard. Audiophiles are synonymous with diminishing returns, bu

As a non-American I'm always surprised at how quickly people are fired there. I cannot imagine such a severe action been taking in any country I've worked in, thanks to robust workers rights.

Disadvantage of this is that the DAC in the echo dot is quite low quality. On a quality HiFi it doesn't sound very good. I started with this, and then moved to an Echo Link, which allowed me to output digital and then use the DAC in my

Thanks. What if I purchase a home, to live in. Then I take a job overseas and move for 2-3 years. Must I sell the house rather than rent it out on a short term basis?

by rusteh1 5y ago
I don't understand how this would work. How do people rent? Obviously many people can't or do not wish to own their house for any number of reasons. Who will own houses that are rented? I used to live in Amsterdam as an expat, and

I enjoyed this article, and had never heard of Bowie Bonds! But isn't the sharing of risk in exchange for value just the concept of a full time job in any country with labour laws? I work for a large multinational in a country other th

Services that actually matter don't use this model. Over an appropriate time period AWS availability is exemplary. However do note. Avoid us-east-1 if at all possible. Understand that despite the documentation, service control planes d
