Would anyone like to explain why it remains the preferred protocol Legacy. BGP is a policy mechanism and sometimes the policies are either misconfigured or we can't trust hostile actors with access to wide open Internet (e.g. backwar

Take it one step further: say person from the past sees OS X running on a computer. They take the CPU and try to reverse-engineer OS X just from the CPU. Good luck.

Great points. Non-submitters seldom realize how often new content goes ignored around here. Unless you're one of the top 20 most recognized names here or unless you're writing about fad-of-the-week, submissions are mostly ignore

Amazon SES or Mandrill would probably be helpful. Both have generous free tiers. But you are still sending all your outgoing email through an external 3rd party. Not ideal. Also, these days every email is a top-reply orgy of all corresp

That makes more sense, especially the one line description: Atlas places a UI in front of these tools and allows you to execute commands and monitor their status. Companies are willing to pay for better user interfaces and better monitori

Those are hilariously small numbers. The accounting departments of those companies probably wouldn't even blink if one extra zero were added to the end. If you're funding open source products like this, companies should fund at l

Oh, great to know. They are really cheap too ($150, $300, $75 re-up). Amusingly, that page demonstrates the need for an AWS certification in the first place: the page has over 100 things trying to grab your attention with no focus or clear

Good rationale for not having the people who write the product promote the product. You're too close to remember everybody else doesn't know what things are. Based only on the leading description, it sounds like something tryin

Yeah, the simplicity is great. AWS has 80 products and it takes months to figure how how they all work together. DO's click-n-go for $5 month helps just from a mental clarity point of view. At this point AWS is so complicated they sh

Let's also mention how utterly moronic it is to type three our four entire english words for one type definition. Do you really want to type `unsigned long long int x = 4` all the time? No, you should never type that. It should

It's a good idea, but then you are tied to one compiler. So, what if Clang implements it, but not GCC? Or what if Clang and GCC implement it, but not the Sun or Intel compilers? Or what about all the GCC copies every board maker fo

Is unicorn just a billion dollar non-public startup? Isn't there some other magic sauce required like supernormal margins or superfew employees or exploiting toothless regulations? DO seems to be almost a too straight forward busi

Good clarification. Actual post-ownership would be single ownership of everything only by the state or some middle-man benevolent entity with perfect Society-Plan-O-Vision. It's going to be a rough half century or two until we get o

Yes, it's about an umbrella of liability protection even if none exists (uber customer service is routinely awful). It's about how airbnb is actually dangerous, but they provide $50k+ of "insurance" if a visitor wrecks

Our society is moving towards post-ownership. Everything will be as-a-Service. We already see this with code. [X]aaS subscription revenue is more stable than trying to sell direct software then convince people to upgrade to re-up your sa

Agile is good for some problems (IE, where the requirements are poorly understood) and not others. That's the true answer. There's no one-size-fits-all solution, but people think (and argue) in absolute terms, not situational n

You are correct, but it's still the name of an entire field of study. When things have names, we have to use the names the things have when talking about them. The initial page for it on wikiepdia is interesting too (November 14, 2001

They are still children in the eyes of their parents. :) Doesn't matter if it's 20/30/40, you still need to be protected from the temptation of living in sin.

That's reasonably common in the US if the parents are religious. If the kid and their significant other are visiting parents and aren't married then they aren't allowed to sleep in the same room (because they might do shena
