It's pretty hard not to though. You rely on your hosting provider for service and probably on a multitude of software services too. Of course you have to weigh the value of each further point of failure in your setup, but it's a t

I see. Still, the attacker has multiple surfaces to try and trace them through. Unless they are very careful, you would expect that they tend to slip every now and then, making it possible to find them? I would imagine that a dedicated secu

One thing I don't quite understand - wouldn't it be possible to unravel a botnet? If you acquire one of the infected machines, a bit of reverse engineering (or perhaps just monitoring its network traffic) should presumably be able

Looks quite nice, but doesn't appear that you have had time to make it much mobile friendly? Is it feature complete otherwise?

We have seen a number of high profile sites being subjected to extortion via ddos. I wonder how many big companies have been paying up and kept silent about it. I also wonder how hard it would be to hire some broad shouldered guys to go and

I generally try to not manipulate properties directly through javascript, rather declaring a class for the purpose. Doesn't seem like an unreasonable requirement for proper performance? (I mean, compared to having stuff like `will-chan

My thoughts as well. This is an implementation optimisation - It seems wrong to put this kind of stuff into user space. Especially as it seems like something that should be possible to solve with a smarter rendering engine.

I like the UI - It doesn't look the same as everything else and it works really well. Maybe it's just the colours, but it reminds me quite a bit of New Relic. The company browser could do with some work - it's very bare bones

Could affect rendering though, since the browser may treat the js as content to render. Probably should be benchmarked to make any conclusions.

They also add complexity. So the implied question is - is it worth it?

It doesn't even make sense. It gets the hierarchy of email addresses completely turned inside out. What do you put in front of the @ in your email address? ceo@cocacola.ceo ? That's just weird.

Edit: and there was no contract or anything written so i guess im pretty much screwed. Depends on your jurisdiction. Depending on how long you worked and how vindictive you feel, perhaps talk to a union rep or a lawyer. Even if yo

Above a certain threshold, yes. But I have seen so much utterly crazy hacked-together crap, which was clearly not caused by changing requirements, but rather either incompetence or negligence. I'm guessing that so have you.

Most police forces have some system like that, although it's primarily domestic. There are some cross-country collaboration going on though. I used to work for a company that recycled used cell phones and as you might imagine, it'

That's funny, but probably a very real challenge. As a (human) driver, it happens that we come across ambiguous, contradictory or just plain impossible constraints and we overcome them by deliberately breaking the rules. I wonder how t

Prisons were initially invented as correction facilities, rather than instruments of punishment. Before this, crime was mostly dealt with by physical punishment.

I have to agree with that. Tests are an investment in QA. Prioritising that before you have a product-market-fit is probably the wrong priority (Of course, depending on the specific scenario). A lot of thought leaders have been promoting te

I think it's a tradeoff. A monoculture group can work very efficiently on the tasks that they do well, but they will have certain types of risks. In an early stage startup, this might be preferable, to just get something out the door.

That's a rather naïve point of view. Try to replace "space program" with something else that isn't immediately saving lives - such as any kind of art.
