Depends on where you live. Ping times to Scaleway from me are ~100 ms, and to my DO machine, about 3 ms. Were I located in Amsterdam instead of New York, it would be the other way around.
You could just put a CDN in front of WordPress and presto change-o your site is static.

I just read about scaleway, and it seems like death by a thousand cuts, in that they nickel/dime you for every small thing. It doesn't seem straight forward to figure out how much it actually costs per month since the quoted price on the homepage doesn't seem to include, for example, the cost of having an IP assigned to the VPS..
It doesn't even need that. It should start by grouping the options by severity - separate the real alerts from the test alerts via section headers and you solve 99% of the problem.
This doesn’t mention my personally favorite css tracking trick, timing attacks that can be used to detect what sites you have loaded. This can be done by interweaving requests to a remote URL (say background-image) with requests to your server script, which times these differences.
I'm a bit baffled about why somebody would use DigitalOcean over other, cheaper and higher spec'ed, alternatives.

Anybody care to enlighten me?
Give them hard task that you are not itching to do by yourself or don't have strong subjective opinions about. In any case, if your safety net is trully just safety net with enough autonomy for them, then supervising them won't satisfy your problem solving itch. Because it is not supposed to, good teaching is about allowing them as much independence as possible whole you limit yourself to keeping it safe. If you are intervening more then that, then you are not making them more confident about hard tasks (which is exactly what it sounds like you want to do as they tend to pick only easy tasks).

It is not true that all juniors avoid harder tasks, my experience was that they seek them. They are eager to prove themselves. Also, what is hard for them is not hard enough to challenge me.

As far as I know no such crime exists in the Netherlands. Pedestrians are strongly encouraged to cross carefully, but there are no fines for crossing wherever you want.

It is illegal to ignore a red light, although I can't figure out if there's a law forcing you to use that crossing.

And there is probably some kind of law against creating dangerous situations, but that's not exactly a law against jaywalking.
> I think the most interesting lessons to learn from this have to do with long term software maintenance.

Yes! And with re-engineering too! When you redevelop a system, you need to build up historical knowledge of its antecedents, and teach it to the current operators and maintainers. You shouldn't just start from scratch from the requirements.

In this case, there was an even older legacy system that had a similar incident in 1971, which they then mitigated. Apparently that lesson was lost.

Yeah, would have been sweet to downgrade my pricing from 10 to 5$ keeping the specs, but it's not possible due to the fact that the disc is 30 GB and not 25. That's not nice, I'd gladly give back the 5GB. Guess I'll spend a night making a new server and putting everything into place again. Or perhaps I'll wait until Ubuntu 18.04 hits... Anyway, the new prices are nice. 512 was always a bit on the small side, 1 GB of RAM is more than enough for a personal server with NextCloud, some websites and a mail server.

If they detect one then they assess it. If after assessment they determine there is a threat to anyone they notify the appropriate agencies.

The graph in the picture showed 16K deaths in 1923, for a US population of 111M then, with likely much smaller per capita driving miles than now. Now population is 323M, and there are around 5K pedestrian/car deaths annually [1]. We drive around 3 trillion miles annually[2].

If you can find the total or per capita miles driven in 1923, I think that would make the data complete. But it seems quite clear pedestrian deaths are vastly lower now than in 1923.

Very granularly: simple tools like the Windows Task Manager Performance tab's Ethernet Throughput graph can provide enough of a clue that a network connection is suffering.

There are many utilities that show this info in useful form in the system tray; perhaps some would be able to superimpose it on top of the video conferencing software (like OnTopReplica).
Would you not spend at least a significant chunk of that same hour traveling to/from and waiting at a restaurant?
Indeed that may be a big factor. A better study of who, where, and why is needed to understand the bigger picture. It's premature to fill in details with the typical partisan angles.
Should I be ashamed of how quickly I considered this solution? It would be quite wasteful, but oh so lazy.
You misread the price list, that's not the cheapest unlimited text, talk and data plan from DNA.

Anyway the cheapest list price for unlimited text, talk and data is from Globetel at 22,85€. https://globetel.fi/liittymät

However, nobody pays list prices, there are always specials as the cell phone companies battle each other for market share. The cheapest offer for unlimited and uncapped 4G is currently 2,90€ per month.
While we may never have the Edinburg to Osaka direct flight, the 5 people/month (number made up, it seems reasonable) who make that trip want it. The smaller the plane the can profitably make those long trips the more small airports get direct flights and the happier customers will be.

I know if I could get a direct flight to my in-laws only once a week I'd plan my vacation around when the plane runs over taking a layover someplace I don't want to be.
Finally. I've been using DO for one year now. The $5 droplet upgrade is great for my needs.
Sorry, I should have been more explicit. I'm aware of what both products do. The guys from Clarity provide a Sketch template that contains the Clarity components & a bunch of mixins, but it's still just a (free) template for Sketch. Is this the same thing, just a template for sketch? A $39 one?
I am personally hoping we can survive the speculation craze and reach a point where we can use the block chain technology in revolutionary (or even evolutionary) ways.

Since it’s tax time I can’t help but feel that the true long term danger to block chain technology isn’t draconian government regulation, it’s the IRS.

For example I have a transaction earlier this year where I purchased some software for $15 BTC equivalent. Transaction fees back then weren’t as brutal so I will ignore that issue as I believe it is 100% solvable. What was truly brutal is that using standard FIFO accounting practices I owe an additional 30% tax on the “money” I spent. My cost basis for that particular coin amount was 10% of what the current price of BTC was when I made the transaction.

A new user will have no idea that they even need to worry about this. Worse, Coinbase is fucking awful when it comes to transparent tax information. So as soon as the IRS starts publicly punishing intentional (or worse, unintentional) tax evaders it is a very real possibility that the interest from the broad public will wane.

Now if prices stabilize this problem starts to recede. But even if it does and prices only fluctuate 1-2%, I STILL need to worry come tax time.

Edit: I understood and knew I would owe capital gains when I purchased the software. I am not complaining about having to pay it personally, I am pointing out that this is a pretty significant problem for widespread usage and that the average user of Bitcoin right now probably has very little idea of the consequences of actually using a crypto currency for any kind of transaction that is considered a taxable event by the IRS.
If automated vehicles become popular, I predict new crimes will be added in addition to jaywalking. Cyclists may be restricted and anything else that confuses AI drivers. If certain intersections or sections of road consistently confuse AI drivers, automakers will lobby for ways to change these roadways. I suspect calls for AI regulation by people like Elon Musk are really attempts at regulatory capture to make automated vehicles possible and dominated by the first market entrants.
You say this as if it's unusual for news articles to be solely written by various company's PR and marketing teams.
Management is not always equal to leadership. They can be very different roles. (And, they can of course overlap.)

One is more focused on tactics, the other on strategy. One is deciding which direction to sail, the other is making sure everyone is keeping the boat going in that direction.
Biggest issue is that the system probably doesn't have a flag Test /Not Test.

The Test Records probably do the same thing just to a smaller list than the real one.

So there is no real way to separate them.
OVH also offers a pretty good deal for its VPSs. I've been using their 2GB VPS SSD 1 for a little over two years now and haven't had anything to complain about.

As a frequent pedestrian who also pays road taxes, I am also trying to get somewhere, and I don't appreciate all the times I've had to dodge cars while using a crosswalk. The stakes for me are much higher.

Perhaps this will help:

Even if they do cross, they have the right of way. Outside of maybe the autobahn, you should never be driving a car fast enough to where you cannot see a pedestrian in time to stop for them. It's pretty unlikely that the pedestrian is ever found at fault for an accident in Germany.
It would be chaos. You’d have some jackass walking in the middle of the street as slow as possible, meanwhile people who actually have some place to go are all sitting around waiting on some fool who wants to play hacky-sack in the street.
The same reason execs always choose major players like IBM, HP, and Microsoft. Nobody gets fired when Digital Ocean goes down, because "hey, I chose one of the most well known cloud providers".
(If it were me) Yes! It's annoying as hell to have them haul off my workstations but I would much rather them seize the locked and encrypted data while legal has time to do the due-diligence on the warrant and come up with a plan for compliance.

I keep my head above water so I really don't really care if the police can access the data. I do have a problem with the raid giving them access to data well beyond the scope of their warrant and relying on the courts to pare it down after the fact.
Jaywalking as an offense exists and you might be responsible in the case where you caused an accident, but to be fully responsible you’d probably have to jump right in front of a car or do something equally reckless. There’s a legal construction called “Allgemeine Betriebsgefahr” which encapsulates the danger of operating a car, leading to the default assumption that the driver is at least partially to blame.
Maybe I'm missing something...So...Does it happen automatically, or do I have to manually switch to the new droplets to take advantage of the benefits?

This is not anarcho-capitalism. Libertarians are extremely protective about the right to bear arms for good reason. Mexico has very strict gun control and this is the result.

Anarcho capitalism would look more like this: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/01/07/world/americas/mexico-sta...

The population organized an armed militia and kicked the cartels and government out. They are funded by local orchard owners. Who now have the most power and keep things in order. So it's not really libertarian, but it sure is a lot more stable than what was before.

There's other examples in Mexico. Mormons that have established colonies there. And sneak in weapons to defend themselves and successfully fended off the cartels: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LpIyaIHsJbc
Exiting the dark ages of capitalism
iOS is not the market leader in any market? Android dominates everywhere, as far as I know, although moreso in some markets than others. And Android is open source, so Jana could easily fund child-safety features themselves if they disagree with Google or Samsung or Huawei on prioritisation.

Regardless, the fund in question hasn't made specific suggestions for what Apple - apparently the market leader in this particular feature - could do better. Perhaps Jana has no such ideas and merely feel that publicly attacking Apple will be sufficient to get the creative juices flowing. In that case they are wrong. If they don't feel like actually contributing features in question then they should, at most, be telling others to look at the design work Apple has done and copy it. They should not be making generic exhortations to Apple to "work harder", because that looks strongly like virtue signalling and is thus ignorable.
No. The reason to sign requests is the same as the reason to support OAuth: so that the owner of the account can sign a request and give it to someone else to execute --- delegated authentication. Signed requests are finer-grained than OAuth is, but OAuth is much simpler and is the industry standard at this point. Don't do either thing until you absolutely need it, but then, start with OAuth.

Signed requests have burned a bunch of applications, more than have been burned by OAuth.
No, bitinfocharts shows the median tx fee of transactions through a day, not blocks. It's been over $13 for the last 7 days, hence over $13 for the last week.

Not just more likely, it's a matter of certainty.

Ethanol is one of the possible treatments to methanol poisoning. Drinking badly made moonshine that has some methanol is like drinking both the poison and the cure (because ethanol will compete for treatment within the liver against methanol).

It's really impossible to get poisoned by methanol by accident. If you drink enough methanol to suffer from it it's because people added a large amount of it to your drink. Whatever methanol is found in badly made moonshine just isn't enough to show any effect, not when you consider the fact that the ethanol of the moonshine will pretty much stop your body from absorbing methanol.
If someone ate an orange or banana and left the peel on a park bench, I'd still consider that littering.

The UX in most software made for the government is terrible. At the end of the day, I think anyone clicking any button in that list should have been well aware of what those buttons do especially since clicking that button was a routine part of the shift change process in that shop.

Bad UX, sure. But that person dun goofed.
I think that if you use passportjs because you don't understand how to implement authn yourself, then you're no any better off from a security standpoint.

To me, passportjs might be useful if you need to plug into 3rd party auth APIs, but I don't really see the point. Authentication is a core part of your application and you should always know exactly how it works.

If you can't store an authn secret with confidence, how can you do anything with confidence?
I don’t have a source to back this up, but I’d say 99% of all commercial jets are “leased”. The question is who holds the lease. I don’t believe it’s usually the manufacturer, far far more often it’s a “holding company” that’s associated with the airline. There’s extensive articles on the web that go in depth about why airlines don’t directly own their planes and rather lease from a holding company, but Tl;dr it’s mostly due to bankruptcy and tax reasons.

For all developers asked to design something or not given a design - CSS padding is your friend.

Add spacing and then add more. It won't make it a masterpiece but it'll prevent misclicks and make the UI easier to read and understand.

Also, use headings like "Amber Alerts", "Weather" and "War".

And, use semantic titles like "[TEST] Tsunami" or "ALERT! - Tsunami"

That, and that gene tests are simply correlating against gene distributions from when the samples were collected, so present day.

Because branding/marketing.

EDIT: Although I should add that my experience in using DO has made me a fan...so I guess the branding/marketing worked on me to get the initial relationship started; and, now their performance (e.g. uptime, security, etc.) has kept me there, as a happy fan. ;-)
I’d just make the smallest change that “fixed” the problem (in this case for example including the action title in the comfirmation, and calling the non-test vs test action something more clear etc.)

My superior would just have to solve the problem of getting the spec change cleared or find another developer. If that was somehow even seen as a problem by the superior - same thing - they’d have to find another developer.
You're saying that people should be prevented from getting jobs they're capable of performing because the alternative is to crack open decades old usability texts?

To start, I think your project is excellent and I don't mean to take away from your work. It has bore fruit, which is an accomplishment on it's own, to say nothing of the intrinsic value of simply investigating and hacking in whatever domain interests you. I like to think I'm fond of hacking in "unsexy" spaces, and I think hot-rodding a shell is that space.

Re: 3) above -- Curious to hear about the reasons.

Re: "...people writing that code ...other than ignorance" -- I'm not trying to imply people working on this are idiots... though w/ broad-sounding statements like "scripts with more than 20 lines should be looked at suspiciously" I can see how someone might read that. I think there are myriad poor reasons an shell script might be inappropriately used. There's also a case for "if it's not mine, who am I to judge?". I'd be curious to hear points of why shell is especially suited for (e.g.) cloud projects like Kubernetes, though.

Good luck with your work.
Blue dots surrounded by red also happens in California (and indeed, in any state with cities). It’s just that the blue dots are much more dense in California.

No, that’s entirely not true. See http://www.iww.de/va/archiv/unfallschadensregulierung-der-fu... for a summary in German with citations of relevant cases.
