I've heard a lot of recent Oatley converts say the same and they insist that while the Oatley "i Kaffe" product takes some geeting used to, it does taste better with coffee that regular milk does. So maybe this company has fi

"Top paid human driver unaware of car limitations." I don't follow motorsport but it seems like the car in the article is highly calibrated for each race in order to provide optimal performance through-out every section of th

Damnit! Those are some nice projects and I like that you can plug your instruments and microphone directly into the pedal. Now my requirements list for the ultimate controller pedal has grown. ;-) Start with something like the Behringer FC

Awesome! The market is really short on good MIDI pedals. Most pedals are in the €150 - €500 range and they have no versatility. You have to buy different pedals to be able to connect it to different gear. When you compare them to MIDI contr

I agree that would be the case if the vendor was providing infrastructure or platform as a service. But I don't think that's the case here.

Hopefully we can have a public discussion about ethics and vendor responsibility once the dust settles. If the government was so negligent that we may get a new one, then perhaps the vendor should have been aware of it? Perhaps they shouldn

I'm not that familiar with TLS client certificates so I'm not qualified to say, but if you consider other developers as your users, then the UX problem remains. Web developers in general are more familiar with other forms of authe

I think this is an interesting security consideration but I would prefer implicit identity for the following reasons: If the API is meant to be consumed by machines then it's unlikely that CSRF would be a threat. CSRF controls are more

I also came back to say that I was unsure why you were being downvoted. I think you made some good points in the first half of the post. It's probably the tone of the writing. There is definitely a stigma around mental illness. In Swed

There is usually a group within the police who has to review this type of content. I couldn't find a reference to it but I'm fairly certain that the Swedish police places a hard limit, expressed in months, for how much time a pers

Neither of these things bug me. If people want socialize that's great. If people want to to be alone. That's also great. But I wish everyone would go to a dedicated eating area, such as a lunch room, so we don't create a cult

No mention of the Windows Subsystem for Linux? Seems like the obvious choice for a gamer.

I often use the archeology analogy to describe my work to others. I like how you become familiar with your predecessors and their strategies for solving problems. It's a way of getting to know them even if you never actually get a chan

Plus one for deterministic software. It's an incredibly useful property when you want to test something. Particularly when doing major version upgrades and when replacing entire systems. Unfortunately strict determinism and test covera

Windows Console question here! :) Are there any plans to support GNU Readline shortcuts such as history searching with Ctrl-R directly in the Windows Console? I'm mostly using WSL to run the PostgreSQL CLI with the standard keyboard be

Sad to see this. But also glad to see a less fragmented Linux desktop. I've always stuck with Gnome but the video in Mark's announcement looks pretty good. I guess it's true what they say - A system is never a popular as the

Well written. I liked the "Building rate limiters in practice" section and your advice on launching dark seems like a great idea.

So how do I test if my workplace is doing a good job of this? The article mentions badssl.com. Do I just click all the red links in the certificate section and verify that my browser is refusing to display the pages?

I agree that not everyone is on Java and using an ORM. But is it only useful for a single server? If you have multiple servers then you would also have a distributed second level cache which would eliminate the need for session pinning.

If you're on Java and using an ORM like Hibernate, then that user will be found in the second-level cache. This will eliminate the need for a database roundtrip for all requests after the first authentication. From that point on that p

Try Figure (originally by Propellerhead). It's not strictly a drum machine but it's fun to explore both from a musical and an user-interface aspect. Available for iOS and Windows.

When I first tried JamKazam (a-play-in-a-band-over-the-Internet-thing) and talked to my friends over low-latency, high-quality gear, I was amazed but how much it felt like being in the same room. That's when I realized that most confer

There should be a similar guide for which types of search results to display and where to display them. There are way too many search boxes that won't find partial or even exact matches. If I type it and it's on the page it should

I was under the impression that most people were very aware that removing the headphone jack would become a revenue stream for Apple? That's what all the fuzz was about - a lot of people didn't want to buy adapters or new wireless

I've used two strategies: 1. If it's a transaction (all-or-nothing) I POST a new transaction resource which references all the target resources. Remember that you can create as many resources as you want. There is no need to have
