Given there are "55,159 potential spots that could be turned into PACMAN Gadgets" do you think it is highly probably this attack is now part of a zero-day kill-chain?

I would love to know which place that is. If the demand is high (which is the case in most places as there is a shortage of doctors worldwide), then the problem of mismanaged waiting room becomes worse. Also, tech ≠ monopoly.

If there's any sector that tech should enter and disrupt it, it is healthcare. Going to consult a doctor is such a painful and dreaded experience for most people in all countries. Many health issues get mishandled due to lack of access

Network is much much more reliable than it used to be. In a typical large-scale datacenter today, it is becoming common to deploy clos networks with multiple ECMP paths to get from one server to another. Also, cost of network relative to co

It seems you have outgrown your current job. You have two choices – you can choose to stay in the same company but define yourself a different role/responsibility that would be personal growth for you and grow into it or you can leave

You are missing the emphasis on the market in stock market . By buying all the stocks of a company, you are basically taking company private – you own the company but the market for its stock is gone – and the value of what you own is the

Owning a stock is not the same as having controlling interest in the business and being able to take home your share of profits (or suffer your share of losses) from the business. It is interesting how the mind works to confuse these two th

In the past two decades we have done this enough times to know better. Here's what we know: 1. Compute and storage should be decoupled because the compute vs storage hardware performance increases at different rate over generations of

You have a more complex network setup actually. You have north-south traffic between your client->LB->servers. and you have east-west traffic between your servers for sqlite replication. Both happening on the same nodes and no isolati

A 4k monitor of 32" and a 4k tv of 32" have same pixel density. But their price difference can be several fold. Pixel density is not the differentiator.

I guess that the consumer home TV panels aren't meant for extended hours of usage. Their overall lifespan would be a lot lesser than commercial display panels and monitors.

That design is still broken. There should be a Reject All option. Irrespective, here's the fundamental problem – the whole thing is about a technical detail – cookie – rather than meaningful outcome for the user. A modern online app ha

The book itself is a bit abstract and generalised (on purpose I suppose). People who have worked within Google vs not will think differently on how they can apply it in practice in their own company/team. Many of the practices that wo

In most tech companies you can negotiate a lower number of days per week for lesser pay. In the last two decades I've been in the industry, I knew very junior people (early in their career) and very senior people doing 3-4 day workweek

It is likely they will try to maintain the total comp levels for at least a year, meanwhile they will reassess the entire talent pool and make whatever correction they deem necessary. Twitter has no meaningful assets other than the talented

Musk had no qualifications to run a rocket company. He didn't have much qualifications to run a car or solar company either. But he has done well by any measure of success. The only qualification that he seems to need is clear thinking

This isn't a typical use case. FWIW, a decade ago, we used sqlite as the persistence mechanism for an in-memory KV store called membase. (See https://github.com/membase/ep-engine ). This was powering 50M+ DAU traff

I expect the 25Gbps link to be over-subscribed. Without minimum bandwidth guarantees, with 48Y4C * 2 switch and 100Gbps backhaul to the whole PoP (with minimum 64 customers for it to break-even), I suspect the sustained bandwidth will fluct

Depends. Are there strong alternate products to which customers can easily migrate in next 6-12 months? If yes, and they choose to move away, then Atlassian will be in serious trouble. I wonder how many of their customers have long-term loc

The point was exactly that – you are already screwed, irrespective of being able to pay anonymously. If you are the kind of actor who will (or needs to) take all the countermeasures needed to be truly anonymous at a whole machine traffic le

For software developers working for a corporate: Use your corp laptop and phone only for corp work. Don't do any personal stuff on it, including browsing the general web. Just this alone reduces the risks significantly.

Just add DNS records pointing to both those CDNs. Your DNS hosting provider can serve them in rotating order to different users, there by spreading the load across your CDN providers. In case one CDN goes down, the browsers will try the nex
