I never said understanding, I said debugging. There are 4 implicit objects here (discounting proxies and wrappers), so unless you know them by heart, you have now idea what's in there. Then of course most debuggers will consider that o

While I'm in favor of nuclear energy, this is something that bothers me. We rarely takes that into factors when comparing it to wind or solar. Indeed, wind and solar projects can be of much smaller scales. You can iterate on them. Try

If I say "don't open the door, there is a dangerous thing behind it, I saw it". Will you open the door or trust anecdotal evidence ? The thing is, we need balance between facebook mum faith and requesting studies, numbers and

It's not about downloading, it's about unzipping. Most bots won't unzip a file they download. But they will deflate a SSL packet.

SSH has some kind of compression, so if you can write a Twisted ssh server sending the file as a compressed ssh packed. For detection, fail2ban provides a plugin architecture that allows it to do any action once it noticed an abuse, so you

Your comment and this article are the first I noticed mentioning the birds as a second indicator. It means the cascade has started. Somewhere else, it's probably already acting as well: the soil, the plants, or stuff we don't know

Just because you can report a problem doesn't mean you have a solution. That doesn't mean the problem is not worth reporting. I haven't seen panic. People can't stop listening since they haven't even started. Most p

Competitors don't kill you because they chose a new tech. They kill you because they can either: - solve a new problem - solve an existing problem better - solve an existing problem cheaper A new tech MAY allow that, and it MAY be used

I'd imagine: Hot weather and good infrastructures so you can live in the street. Liberal so you are not bashed out by the cops. Rich so you can beg for money. Many water points. Strength in number.
