Mesos was a joy to work with in the early days of containerization. Easy setup, good documentation, few dependencies. It sucks that it just got outclassed over time by ECS, Docker Swarm, nomad, etc. Ending up as another 'kubernetes is

Unlike JS, Google doesn't endlessly push PHP. Having written in both of them (and prefer neither) they're equivalent outside the marketing budget.

"I want piece of information from page programatically but there's no API." Common ask, especially in anything dealing with secondary markets (card balances, information on sales, shoe drops, etc) API will be much faster, but

If you decide to experiment, add a b-12 supplement. B-12 deficiency will have the opposite effect (as in, you could damage your memory). Seen it happen, it's real not pretty.

Never happen unless the RIAA pays for it to benefit them or we see another full sweep of the house, senate, executive.

That's what I meant. Though I guess they've decided to take the google route in deploying manifest v3. So I'll probably be dumping them for firefox (or rather, reversing how I use them. Use firefox for my 'logged in&#x27

The masses run any program or punch their credentials into any phishing site you send them. I'm fine with them being restricted to the iphones and androids of the world. That's where it's going to go, the security situation i

Murder hornets are the species that in Japan you don't call an exterminator, you call the police. They're that nasty.

This will do nothing. The tool will instantly be hosted outside the US. Even if the developer is American it's just going to get instantly scooped by someone else.

China can throw an entire ethnic group in concentration camps and starve them to death on video. Their subjects and the world shrug. Do you really want to use them as an argument for "Just make rail 4Head?"

That’s a terrible example since that’s a moonshot project. Moonshot projects are always a money pit, you’re trying to figure something out no one else is doing.

The license does not require that.

No it’s not. It’s just a license. I will never bet against the tragedy of the commons because it’s easy money.

Have they pulled it out of snap yet? Not being able to pin or control when upgrades happen is a nonstarter for us.

KDE Neon is. It’s what I use when I have the rare need to use Linux on the desktop. Basically Ubuntu LTS, but canonical and gnome don’t get to make any poor UI decisions. They even ship a stable version.

It you just want to throw up a semi static site with a couple updates a year, sure. Go nuts. The moment marketing wants to be able to login to make dynamic updates and load the instance up with plugins it's time to outsource the hostin

The request was for something they could setup and not look at. If it's a throwaway site that's what I use (usually backed by s3/cloudfront). Costs pennies and can be ignored for years without issue.

It isn't unknown for software to have problems in the OTHER direction with the Proxy header. Guzzle had this, where you could set a Proxy request header and all the curl requests would try to use the address you sent for it's call

Hugo, jekyll, webflow, wordpress.com, I'm sure there are others.

Wordpress is fine if you're using wordpress.com edit: not .org (though I usually push webflow). Hosting it yourself is a mistake. Not because it's inherently insecure (the base install isn't) but because no one can control th

Relying on X-Forward-For for... pretty much anything is not a security best practice. The user can easily manipulate this header.

I have a lot of respect for good front-end people. They usually end up holding multiple roles (front end developer, user experience designer, accessibility designer, etc) that only marginally overlap and are also at the complete opposite en

Facebook is toilet tier in 2020. The only use we have for them is marketing to dumb boomers with money. Everyone else we just spend on google to reach.

AWS is usually the least of our problems (though when people use AWS they're generally doing something weird enough I have to look at it). It's more the bottom feeders of OVH and Choopa/Vultr. I blacklist them instantly in ev

Unless the democrats sweep I see little to nothing to imply that anything of note will happen in congress for the foreseeable future.
