This is how heavy truck diesels with DEF work, at least. Warning light at 10% full, flashing warning light at nearly empty, and if the tank runs completely empty, the vehicle is limited to 5mph until it's refilled.

I've been happy with SimpleSAMLPhp in production for about 6 years now. Configuration was very straightforward and the whole process was order-of-magnitude simpler than any other SAML IdP we tried at the time.

Wow, that's the complete opposite of my own experiences with American healthcare. Doctors here always seem to want to do the "yeah it's probably just a headache but let's get an MRI just in case it's cancer" th

At interstate highway speeds, there is no dodging an unexpected pedestrian who jumps out into the road. Swerving creates greater danger - an overturned truck is likely to cause other severe accidents. Pretty much all a truck driver can do i

Also, the ship's crew are doing most maintenance underway, which keeps the asset producing value. Pretty much the only maintenance done on cargo ships at a port is stuff that requires a drydock. It's actually cheaper overall to ha

Since OP is running on AWS anyway, why not just use Amazon ECS? The orchestration (including Elastic Beanstalk) is pretty good, and we haven't had any stability issues in production with it. Same thing for registries; just use AWS ECR

Apple replaces the outer shell during the refurb process. Every Apple refurb I've ever seen was cosmetically perfect - these are the same units they use for warranty replacements.

From what I've seen (quoted elsewhere in this thread) there isn't any significant penalty for Akamai if they are unable to mitigate, or choose to not mitigate, a DDoS attack. They might negotiate other terms, but I doubt it. DDoS

Helicopters get all their lift from the rotor. So, either there's a huge amount of air being blown around, making parachute deployment impossible, or the helicopter has no lift and is free falling, which doesn't give enough time t
