Nice project. How does buffering work? Does it queue input lines until a browser connects to the websocket server? If multiple browsers are connected, will it broadcast all stdin lines to all connections? It's not clear to me from t

When we say "bad", let's remember that that's very close to the speed of light through fiber.

Google Cloud DNS is completely different than Google Public DNS. The former is an authoritative DNS service ("hosting") while Google Public DNS is a resolver.

If you only serve 10 airports, could you please just give a dropdown list instead of making me guess at what airports are supported and then disappointing me 99% of the time?

The UI seems a bit broken. I entered some airport codes, and chose dates, but it was not until the next screen that I was told "An error occurred" and neither airport is "supported". I had to click Back to proceed, and

Just to be clear, the article discusses bandwidth load for CAs, not for individual web sites. Serving CRLs is part of what we pay CAs to do, I don't see why the article implies we should take pity on them.

It would be helpful to know the largest data set this has been used with and the performance of some example queries. Ideally > 1TB to qualify as "big data".

So, Google is a CA. Check the certificate chain for https://www.google.com : issued by "Google Internet Authority G2".

I don't understand breached retailers offering "identity theft and credit monitoring solutions" just because CC data was leaked. The big winners are Equifax/Experian/Transunion and "security companies" wh

Yes. This is cold hearted, but I would suggest that for those for whom this is too hard, they should reconsider exposing their machines and code directly to the public Internet.

It "must die", OR how about we stop adding features to the protocol that don't belong in it, and then implementing them poorly? Note that people who were running a "too old" version of OpenSSL were not affected by

Personally I would rather just use "ssh -R", the built in remote port forwarding. You either need to flip a setting on the server to allow listening on an interface besides localhost, or configure Nginx/etc as a reverse prox

The best practice with AWS API keys is to ONLY EVER use IAM (Identity and Access Management). There is nowadays zero reason to even generate account-level API keys. With IAM, you can create separate keys with separate abilities, down to t

64k is the max value of a 2-byte unsigned int, as 2^16 - 1 = 65535; is that the size of the length prefix?

Does Heartbleed affect OpenSSH? I seem to recall it uses OpenSSL but I haven't seen it mentioned.

Exactly; well said. It's been about a year but basically I had a replica set where sometimes one replica or the other would segfault and I'd have to manually delete its data files and re-replicate, after which it was fine. Happe

Google now offers Cloud DNS, conceptually similar to Amazon Route53. Has a pretty nice CLI and REST API, and serves using Anycast. https://developers.google.com/cloud-dns/

Oh no, Ubuntu is shutting down a service despite "our users rely so heavily on the functionality"... clearly this means we must never trust Ubuntu again! At least that's what people on HN say every time other companies launch

I'd like to propose a new rule for Hacker News: only if you have built the thing you're saying someone should save money by building themselves, may you say the person should build that thing.

The problem with heat maps, like this one, is they end up effectively as maps of population density. To make a heat map informative, consider coloring the map zones proportionately to the population in that area.
