They were so short-sighted! How could you not foresee robot drones video recording or remotely raining down death from the sky?! I've know about it since Terminator II for crying out loud.

After watching a tractor trailer carrying an armored personnel carrier painted with the name of a small-town police department rolling down the road just the other day, I welcome just about every check against the unprecedented police state

GRC.com has been around for so long and it is just awesome. Don't know if this is still the case, but Steve Gibson either used to - or still does - write all of his software in assembly[1]. As a young comp sci college student in 1997,

It's a tad annoying for us kinda-sys-admins that run full stacks in AWS (or other cloud services) and have to maintain not only domain knowledge for the code we're writing to run on the stack, but the server architecture and servi

Being gluten free (wife as well) I was unfortunately very frustrated by this article. I was expecting some degree of information regarding how those of us with gluten allergies might have some hope of eating real pizza again. All I found wa

I can't figure if this spells the beginning of - forgive me - "Email 2.0", which is inherently encrypted and secure (starting with the Dark Mail Alliance, perhaps), or if the general public's lack of understanding about

I imagine it to be a horrible miscarriage of trust to not use HTTPS. We made the decision early on that handling any personal data not over HTTPS was massively irresponsible - and this is pre-Snowden. That said, if they have kernel-level ha

After being bummed by the removal of 'bundle' in pip and writing an article about how we moved to using wheel for faster deployments[1], we moved to using Packer for server builds for our cloud infrastructure. Now we can backup to

Good for him! The app is a bit of technical marvel. I love playing with it, and now that Apple has it, hopefully the UX will improve a bit in whatever way they decide to implement the core tech. Wins all around!

This was my immediate fear. We're geared up to take offline versions 1.0-1.3 of our API, which are used by less than 2% of users (and we gave them a nice banner urging them to update with a future cut-off date). This announcement has m

Careful. You don't want to go to jail for telling people about open, public information on the Internet that you accessed just by going to a URL.

"She," actually. And she is the owner of a company that benefitted from SendGrid's unfortunate circumstances. Being the owner of such a service, what she saw other competition doing disturbed her. So she wrote about it. Although Postmark di

I'm pretty sure the title was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but at the same time, it's a definable, historical legal term. Better than titling it "An informal agreement between two or more parties simply understood as part of an unspoken agreement

Friend of the OP. This is very focused on the current circumstances, but applies to similar circumstances as they happen. They found themselves somewhat embroiled in this situation simply by providing a similar service. She's not arguing

We moved 1.5TB between devices and servers last month I think... For a one-person shop, getting a game out at all is pretty amazing! I certainly see the appeal of Game Center. I'm not knocking it, we just wanted more flexibility and control

Hi, Dave here. For banner ads we're using iAd and Admob as a fallback. For interstitial (full-screen ads) we're using Chartboost, Revmob, and Greystripe primarily. GameCenter has a _very_ small payload, but more importantly, we wanted to be
