The difficult line between being helpful to normal users and malicious users... This reminds me of the classic enumeration attacks in the 90s where you could figure out usernames in machines by various remote services they had running. Doin

I don't believe in that science. The brain can learn how to approach problems more efficiently, how to break them down, how to think in the way these IQ tests are designed. We put way too much confidence into science in general. It&#x2

Not to mention you can't trust "education" to be true unless you can verify yourself that it is true. So much education is just propaganda.

I took part in this and noticed no difference compared to traditional DNS in terms of speed. The more important question is who we trust though. Currently, the DNS information where we go on the web is spread across a number of national int

It's not about lying. It's about using weapons of mass destruction. Only one country did this. Twice. It was not China. You guys are just used to the devil you know, and scared of the devil you don't know. I am also in a way.

Customers will check what options they have. A lot of them want to avoid lock-in. It would be intelligent by Amazon to not ignore the competition (because customers won't) and instead talk about the advantages and disadvantages of thei

I made it to the second paragraph. Anyone who believes the NSA can be controlled must also believe in the things they were told in school how the world works. That is, 100% "how it could work in theory". In reality, the world is c

Articles like this have a point - enterprise programming is about as fun as pulling out your nails.

I think mathematical people tend to think that code that looks like math is clean code. Since it's similar to math, it's as clear as it can be. Like functional programming - the cleanest code is one line of code which expresses th

Who is surprised? We are going in the direction of idiocrazy (great movie) as a society and people are caring less and less about anyone else. So that makes it easy to spy on people or block sites, specially since Google is still seen as a

Your logic is basically "unless you can avoid Google seeing any trace of you online, just let them see every single thing you do".

There is a world of difference between using Google applications running on your phone and using their search engine compared to some of my email ending up in their servers. Any ad blocker blocks their scripts, that's why its in my lis

It's not very hard if you know what you are doing. - Phone with Lineage OS without Google Apps - Install apps with Apkpure since you don't have Google Play - Startpage as search engine - Disable accepting third party cookies Done

There is a lot of "explained" things that are very wrong as well, it's just that scientists pick the "most likely" explanation since they have to.

Just to offer a different opinion here: I think happiness at work is the most important thing for me personally, and I have no patience for legacy codebases that look like shit. I mean, you are offering good advice for a person that wants

For some things, like compressing files, they are really good. But game performance still benefits from strong single core where Intel is the best still, unfortunately.

Why the heck are you worrying about Russians? Don't you realize it's just a media thing to point, the finger at someone to be worried about? Elections are not a democratic process in any of the big nations. Why do you think every

I think it's also about that things grow. It's easy to set up one thing anywhere but then you may want more things connected to that thing. All of a sudden you want to focus on your app and not infrastructure problems. AWS is expe

Yeah because Google cares about your privacy....no way would they want to remain friends with the ad industry. No they are YOUR friend. Of course. They don't even charge for their service to billions of people. Truly altruistic compan

I'm stunned every time people try to get privacy with Google. It's Google! I wish I could make you understand but I probably can't.... :(

I was looking into it a bit before. The smallest RDS instance was like 11 dollars per month and can't use spot instances (naturally). If you do use spot instance with a local postgres on EBS, it comes down to about 4 dollars per month

I really think Amazon should come out with a local disk option that uses local attached disks that can survive stopping an instance. You would reserve parts of that local physical disk on the host for your instance.

I use https://slite.com - it's a very nice, clean modern markdown editor with keyboard shortcuts and ability to paste images from clipboard. You categorize notes in collections and you can search them, export them to markdo
