Indeed. Besides GitHub integration, Automatic Certificate Management (ACM) is actually a feature I really appreciate on Heroku. Some might describe it as glorified Let’s Encrypt but nonetheless I appreciate things like that just working out

Of course not. But I don’t want to spend time choosing, configuring and maintaining an OS install in order to keep it secure. However little overhead that might be it’s almost invariably not worth it, especially since the company I work at

We do this for some of our legacy apps. I don’t like it and want to move away from it. I lack both time and motivation to think about security outside of the app/code itself.

I think the larger tech community should be made more aware of this. Maybe if the likes of LTT or MKBHD (popular YouTube tech channels) could be convinced to do a video on it, it could help get more people into the Firefox camp

I don’t see others mentioning it so I thought I should. This reminds me of DHH and the creation of Rails. He followed essentially the same method: chipped away at it over a long period of time, little by little, day by day, with no specific

I saw the bow thing in the comments too, but I can't understand what it is even though I completed the form!

Say Intel does only take two years to turn around x86. They are a big company with lots of resources and talent, so even though in my mind it seems difficult they surely have a chance. Meanwhile, AMD gets a headstart on ARM and leaves Intel

Good point, Intel’s primary weakness at the moment is definitely that they are failing at progressing their own fabrication process
43.
by slowwriter 5y ago
I think you’re underestimating the trouble Intel is in. They are being absolutely stomped on by both AMD and Apple in terms of performance/efficiency, and if it wasn’t for such high demand it would reflect heavily on sales. Also, AMD h

For anyone that follows F1 it’s not a surprise that the numbers show a draggy car, although they might be higher than the real ones. For three seasons now, high drag to downforce ratio has been Williams’ no. 1 problem.

I feel like it’s the word ‘goal’ that makes one stumble here. I agree that he is not really describing the ‘goal’ of software development. He’s describing how to succeed at software development in order to reach a larger goal. And although

Look, I don’t think it’s unreasonable to assume that a 720px wide device is a phone. As a webdev I completely zoned out when he started talking about DPI and such. Nobody is going to completely change their methodology around breakpoints be

I kind of felt like yelling at it for judging my music taste based on tracks and artists I haven't listened to for years.

Since I’m being downvoted: The EU directive that specifically obligates websites to collect informed and active consent for the use of cookies is not GDPR, it’s the ePrivacy Directive. I don’t believe that one should automatically conclude

by slowwriter 6y ago
My understanding is that this kind of active consent that we see as popups everywhere on the web nowadays applies to cookies only. So I would assume that if you can track user activity without a cookie you wouldn't need it. It should p

Adding to what others have replied, the difference is simply put: If you can write your custom function as a lambda instead of a VBA function you will not have to save your Workbook as XLSM (M for Macro). That means no warnings when the use

As far as I understand, yes, the car is designed to split under extreme circumstances. But two things to add to that: If the barrier hadn’t failed it might not have happened. And regardless, the ‘split’ is not supposed to cause a fire. The

I also saw the race live and like you I was truly horrified. At first the commentators said “It’s a Haas!” and for some reason I assumed it was MAG for a moment. My first thought was: “He’s dead.” I never realized that there is a medical ca

Don’t get me wrong, there are reasons we use it. It’s just so outdated I never expected a company like yours to even get near it

I can’t believe they actually use IBM Video for this thing. I use this terrible, terrible platform every day at work at the moment.

As many other Danes, I have a total weakness for licorice. But I believe it’s common knowledge that you’re not supposed to eat a lot of it at once. Certain types do have warnings printed on them like “For adults, not for kids” but most do n
