I like seeing actual numbers about what Good is meant to be for this metrics - it's easy for a devlops advocate to highlight a metrics and push for further investment in it, despite it not being a major weakness of the organisation oth

I think the strongest claim they could be making is that DDG (1) collects and stores search results, and because the results are tied to your IP someone could in theory associate different search results records, to identify you. E.g. they

I haven't done any maths but I bet the order's of magnitude in terms of energy flows are wildly different for human usage vs solar + geothermal flows.

It's a requirement under UK law. They have retail operations (as stated in the disclosure) and a large number of suppliers in a wide variety of countries. I agree that they are fairly low risk on average but some of those vendors will

Agreed, the main app prioritises showing you gimmicky tree houses over places which are much more interesting (perhaps with a more convenient location, or remote work friendly for 2 people). They are probably trying to push back against the

Mini splits are widely used and have become dramatically more economical and popular over the last decade or so. They are much quieter and more efficient than window units. Some areas ( cough nyc cough ) may need some regulatory breakthro

It lacks the strong standard lib support that c# has sadly, and the open source alternatives are a really mixed bag in terms of quality or complexity of usage.

If this was run by a major collection or archive it would have been cool to link out from the gods to images of the works that depict them.

None of those are really adding anything new though - they'd definitely fall into the nostalgia/copy bucket.

Yes, and you can group the messages such that messages within a group are (almost?) always consumed in order. I think the distinction though is that with SNS each message is consumed by each consumer, whereas SQS each message is consumed by

Scanning the paper the effect seems surprisingly weak (and has p=0.045!) and weirdly dependent on family size (it looks as thought he difference only exists in larger families). While the results seem believable I'm not convinced by th

Also very annoying for everyone else if there isn't a standard system of weights and measures. Being able to trust the coins and communicate clearly about what you are buying or selling removes a lot of unnecessary hassle from everyday

This seems like a really attractive way of publishing events to a third party. Platform independent and easy to understand.

I did a quick comparison with Wise (previously TransferWise) This is cheaper for GBP->EUR transactions over £800, but a lot slower (arrives "Friday" instead of within 5 hours. In practice I've found that Wise transfers are

There's a lot of "Let's add a queue to deal with scaling issues" type thoughts which don't really work in practice. Like 95% of the time the system works better without one.

This looks so cool. I've always wanted something like this, especially being able to write the policies in Rego. I can't work out if it supports delegation though, i.e. service A temporarily allows service B to access a resource w
