You do know that memory-safe languages are developed using memory-unsafe languages, and eventually execute the binary code on the actual CPU?

So this is how you get views and clicks these days - make a couple of factually incorrect statements, refuse to do any research, put a FUD clickbait in the title, and bingo - you are a "popular" "journalist".

Thanks for the quality content. You are absolutely right, there is very little documentation on UDP (probably because it was a pariah protocol reserved for "weird" things like DNS and SIP). Now that UDP is becoming the mainstream,

I have come down to one metric in the end - sleep time (tracking with sleep++ on apple watch). The rest of the metrics lost meaning to me - they fluctuate too much depending on the weather / schedule / other factors. They also do

You are right. Anti-vaxxers have some valid points - admittedly, introducing a foreign substance into human body always carries some risks. The problem with risks and probability is that human brain does not process probability numbers well

Just wanted to say huge Thank You to the guys at Cloudflare for the awesome content. You post some of the best articles on Linux kernel, network stack and eBPF. I immensely enjoy these. Keep up the good work!

I do not think Holmes was competent enough to understand that tech would never work (this is still up for debate though, "never" is a very broad timeframe). Instead, she did waht every CEO does - hired people whom she believed to

Lost one node in a small ElasicSearch cluster. The incident did not affect the cluster availability. The node was reintegrated into the cluster once it came back online.

Last update: The environmental conditions within the affected Availability Zone have now returned to normal levels. We will provide further details on the root cause in a subsequent posts, but *can confirm that there was no fire* within the

The hardware is heat-resistant, so probably around ~75C (167F).

COVID has many other long-term side-effects besides death (fatigue, muscle and joint pain, respiratory problems, etc). These side-effects are present in younger people as well. For me, mere possibility of these side-effects outweigh the ris

That is not a crazy idea at all. I'd feel a lot safer if I could run some detection on my personal Downloads folder, and on my apt feeds. The problem is, Linux antivirus does not really exist. Granted, there is some software that will

SSN is used as taxpayer ID, that is why it is needed. Now, there is absolutely no reason it could not be OTP'd (or uniquely derived for each account).

Except if it is awscli creds, then of course there is no MFA.

That was fun to read, thank you. There are obvious limitation to the approach, as stated by the author, but it was an interesting experiment.

Yes, but application layer "weapons" are very democratic. Everyone can have one.

This is Hacker News, not Facebook. Arguably, the internet ends at the network level (TCP). Everything above it is just the payload. Application layer disruptions are not internet disruptions.

California would rather use inmates as an almost-free resource to fight fires. Works even better than volunteer force. Only this time, the inmates were already released because of COVID-19.

Google's internal sso (which I accidentally stumbled upon) collects other endpoint-specific parameters to compose the digital signature (like browser window size and monitor size). This feels more effective and less intrusive. Not sure
