Here's a plug for DPG (zero storage password manager). I wrote it years ago and it meets my needs well. https://github.com/w8rbt/dpg

Some of the parents are probably under the impression that the activity is legitimate/legal. Kids can make a lot of money in technology (apps, games, mods, etc.). Parents may not be able to easily tell the difference. They just think t

Same here. Will wait until Aug 2019 when I have to think about it.

No. C++ is very fast. It has generics.
125.
by w8rbt 8y ago
Rather than writing multiple functions that take different types as args and return different types (say int8, int16, int32, etc.) but do the exact same thing, with generics, you can instead write one function that takes a number (which cou

Also good to verify the phone number on the company website.

The first part of this reads like an intro to algorithms class where I think they cover all of these things. Directed graphs, back edges (cycles), convert to a DAG (no cycles), strongly connected components, topological sorting, etc. Nice t

You learn Morse Code by hearing it... not by seeing it. So ignore that chart on the website. You have to hear the rhythm to learn it. "Di dah dit dit" is what L sounds like, etc. Don't count dits and dahs (you won't be a

I use pprof to find and fix bugs in Go apps. I just recently used pprof to find and report a huge memory leak in coreDNS (when using it as an authoritative DNS server for very large zones). I was able to find the bug and get it fixed in les

IPv6 works fine in AWS. I have several v6 only resources there now... no problems. No SSH scans, no elastic IP fees, no log noise from all the IPv4 idiots. It's heaven.

Doesn't wisdom come from experience? So, no matter how old you are, if you have done something then you have experience doing it and you have some insight and wisdom about it (whatever it is). So a 20 year old who has driven the Rubico

Yes, because they desire speed.

Very neat. Would like to see more languages targeting single binaries. This is one reason (I believe) that has made Go so popular.

Don't feel bad... everyone, everywhere has been compromised. The corporations that say they have not are either ignorant or lying.

I agree, but the optical scanners are like 1000 times better than wirelessly accessible Windows XP laptops... which is what they replaced. One step at a time ;)

Virginia went back to paper ballots and optical ballot scanning several years ago. I think the only drawback to this approach is storing the ballots for X years after an election (takes up space). But, it's far more secure and easy for

The DB schema in RDS is identical to the DB schema on a Postgres server in your data center and the RDS data dumps can be loaded into your very own personal DB wherever you like. The dockerfile used to build the containers in ECS can be pus

I have seen sys admins stand-up a bunch of EC2's in AWS and install PostGres and Docker on them (because the dev's said they need a DB and a docker server). They don't get the services model (use RDS and ECS). Sys admins hav

by w8rbt 8y ago
Yep. No one telling me no anymore and I can write Lambas to replace cron jobs, use RDS to replace DBs, use S3 and Glacier to replace Storage, etc. Fargate is awesome too. No gate keepers nor bureaucracy just code and git repos. That's

Way to go Linus... this is a great lesson for all of us! It's easy to get caught-up in the heat of the moment and say and do things that we regret. We've all done it. It's part of being human. The key is to realize it, apolog

Really ought to just use coreDNS as a local stub resolver and point it at cloudfare's TLS enabled DNS resolvers. That's what I do.

Thanks, maybe something has changed since I tried it. I'll have another look.

I tried it a few months ago and was unable to import pyhash.

Seems silly to move just because MS bought github. Are there other compelling reasons?

All my ssh key passwords are generated from password managers. They are random and strong.

Just don't give me advice about kids (if you don't have kids) and we'll get along just fine ;) Please do give me advice about other things that you know about and have experience with when I need it.

I've seen more home made string implementations in C than I can remember. Most all of them were horrible. Say what you like about C++, but it certainly fixed that mess. And I love Go... I think it's the future.

Maybe MS is adding AAAA records ;) HN needs to add those too. It's embarrassing.
