   There goes the bread and butter use case of Cisco (plugin any network vendor) in AWS. We had a complex setup involving Cisco CSR1000 series routers just because vpcs cannot do transit peering. AWS is really eating into the business of its v

   Amidst all the potential ways in which even 2FA can be compromised, I am surprised no one is mentioning the biggest benefit of using 2FA- the ephemeral nature of 2nd password. Not only it protects against misuse of stolen credentials, but i

   There may be around 5 to 6 lines of interesting information in that article. Way too much crud!

   Thanks for pointing out. Sorry I overlooked that part. Perhaps I got primed by the opening statements which implied that problem happened only after placing new Arista routers and hastily assumed that it was Arista's routers that mangl

   Am I the only one who sees a different issue here? The problem is neither stateful service over anycast nor TTL based hashing. Being a DDoS service, one can imagine the need to have stateful POP since each edge needs to track the TCP state

    The challenge of reading Borges for a wider audience is to find appropriate translation. The ones he sanctioned, translated collaboratively by Giovanni is out of the market due to copyright tussles with the estate. The translations availabl

    I had the same experience in Macau. The entire Cotai strip is just 3 blocks between Old Taipa and Coloane island. But you wouldn't consider crossing it on foot.

    I kind of get what systemizer is saying. People may think of evolution of technologies as cycles but it is never that. A new technology 'Y' is always developed because the incumbent 'X' has some shortcomings. And even af

    I share the same sentiment with many of the commenters. I found GEB to be unnecessarily verbose and repetitive. But that is not to say that I wasn't impressed by the book. Irrespective of your disposition, there is a lot to take from i

    I don't think so. Douglas Hofstadter in GEB, also makes a similar claim. I tried listening to Bach many times and found it laborious. Same would be true for a western listener to suddenly tune to MS Subbulakshmi singing 'Nagumomom

    This is a HN gem! Wonder how it didn't make it to first page. I once had a mobile app perform very poorly only for large downloads on a particular SSID. No other applications had such issue. It turned out to be due to a firmware bug wh
