I buy on Namecheap and transfer to Cloudflare (except for the still unsupported .me domains, those have stayed at Namecheap). I also use Cloudflare DNS, but I disable the CDN.
Well I think it is pretty common to have a combination of these. You're right that if you configure a default matcher the compiler can no longer tell if the match is as exhaustive as you intended, but I think you can often just avoid that altogether.
That emu face in the primary pic is just perfect.
Yes exactly. I have a an app with about 1m concurrent users at peak hours. For years it is running perfectly fine on a single 8 core machine. Linux - > Nginx -> memcache -> nodejs -> filesystem. Yes filesystem. All content is fetched from files. Another process is populating all files. I pay 40 dollars/m for this self managed machine.
That is exactly the analogy I have a problem with, it is variously explained with cars in parking lots, people on seats, .... It is wrong however, the electrons do not move one at a time, they move in unison opposite to the normal flow of current.

Apart from theoretical considerations, we know it has to be like this because the voltage induced by the Hall effect flips for these kinds of semiconductors, and since there are no positively charged free particles in solids, this has to mean the electrons are now moving in the other direction, giving a complete illusion of a positive charge carrier.
If kexts are completely removed, they'll probably just move back towards custom kernels.

Your question makes it sound like he's stealing from someone by taking paid time off to be with his child. In reality, the money is coming from a corporation, who presumably has already costed the risk and is willing to accept it.

Moreover money is not zero-sum. The way you talk about it, there's only a finite number of dollars in the US and he's stealing some from someone else. This is not even remotely how our economy works. And frankly that's a crazy idea that could be applied to all kinds of things. For example, by working you're stealing money from your employer who could easily spend that money on himself. How dare you work?
They have all the data from the uninformed, ambivalent or defeated already.
We develop things to crush the remaining resistance. Walled garden devices, cert pinning, signed applications, DNS over HTTPS, yes they are all more secure, but not for you. If well implemented, these serve as tools to make sure the privacy policy is the only thing informing you of collection.

I think maybe your cynicism is misplaced. The world is a far uglier place than your comment presumes. And relative to the kinds of people intelligence agencies must deal with sometimes, Epstein's crimes and alleged crimes probably wouldn't raise an eyebrow. (Which isn't a comment on whether they were blackmail worthy.)
Node.js Frameworks Which Will Rule in 2020
That's why we should give a fuck on their behalf. In a techno-capital society, it's too much to expect normal people to have to know the technical details of all of these things.

I don't know anything about water treatment or nuclear power, but I still expect the people working in those industries to be held to extremely high standards of competence, virtue and accountability.

We should have the same standards. We don't, so instead we need to demand regulations for these monsters.
That is all about the high profile clientele.
There's an interview with an African grad student in Wuhan who says that strange cases of pneumonia were happening all the way back in September of 2019. And this interview was the first I'd ever heard of that.

This could have been a non-starter had not the Chinese Communist party covered this up as long as they did. That's what needs to change. There might be a genetic predilection for Asians to be susceptible to coronaviruses, but if we attack these things head-on as they emerge, they won't amount to much.

If we pretend they're not happening, one day we're going to get a pandemic. That day might be today unfortunately but only time will tell.

Indeed, I think thermal imaging for public health monitoring will hasten the spread of video surveillance and facial recognition worldwide. Thermal imaging technology is already commoditized and inexpensive, and as you point out, probably easy to integrate into existing security IT infrastructure.

High scalability always revolves around the storage layer. There are plenty of options in the free software world; MongoDB, Redis, variants of MySQL/Postgres replication, Cassandra, FoundationDB, and many more.

Using one of those is where you'll spend most of your operational time if you really need that level of scalability. Most people don't, but the options are there if you really need them.

If you are happy with your storage layer, which most people are, the rest scales horizontally pretty easily. And there are plenty of free things you can use to get what a cloud provider gives you.

> App load: |User| <-> |Cloudfront| <-> |S3 hosted React/Vue app|

The CDN is always going to be tough to replicate on your own. In the end, latency is bounded by the speed of light, so you can only bring your files closer to your users. I wouldn't expect you to build one of these yourself; just buy one until you're the size of Google.

> App operations: |App| <-> |Api Gateway| <-> |Lambda| <-> |Dynamo DB|

Your app should be designed to scale horizontally; don't keep any state in your app, delegate it to your storage layer so you can scale a CPU-intensive app up across multiple servers.

There are quite a few API gateways around; Ambassador comes to mind but there are a million. I personally use raw Envoy for everything. I was load-testing my website the other day and pushed 5000qps through it from my cable connection before I decided "it's probably fine". (I started dropping frames on the Twitch stream I was watching, though ;)

There are plenty of "serverless" frameworks that emulate what Lambda does. knative comes to mind. I have not experimented with them in depth, but am intrigued by the idea. (I am more intrigued by turning config files into webassembly-compiled programs, to make existing apps more configurable at runtime. This is like serverless, but less general.)

> Add in Route53 for DNS, ACM to manage certs, Secrets Manager to store secrets, SES for Email and Cognito for users.

CoreDNS scales nicely and has an API. cert-manager is an open source way of obtaining certificates (though it's tightly coupled to Kubernetes); either ACME (letsencrypt) or your own root CA. There are a bunch of free software secret managers; Vault, bitnami-labs/sealed-secrets, etc. I personally use git-crypt ;)

Email deliverability is always going to be an issue. Like the CDNs, you might want to delegate it while you're small. Use anything except Mandrill.
It feels a bit irresponsible to through around unsourced numbers like that. Makes responding responsibly difficult.

Have you found new communities, though? Surely there is some lost value -- maybe not specifically on Twitter, but generally -- when one drops an old group.
Also Google cares about conversions because if they can get people tracking down funnel they can better optimise to get to to pay more for less impressions/clicks, and the now unused space can be sold elsewhere. When done right it's win/win.

Agreed, a muddy puddle is perfect. Friends wanted me to try some at a local kava bar. The buzz I got from a "double dose" drink was basically a decently mild nicotine buzz except my mouth went numb a bit like after getting a novacaine shot. Not really for me.

Scaul: Power Side-Channel Analysis with Unsupervised Learning
You believe you should be allowed to privately test out a $3k laptop, and be able to return it for any reason, free of charge? You are being unreasonable here; I encounted this situation a lot of in the phone industry and could never understand the entitlement. FWIW, I've been using a 2016 XPS 15 and have never had a problem with Linux I did not do to myself.
What do you do when that one machine goes offline? Say there's a power outage, or a networking issue, or you have to reboot with a patched kernel. Now your 1M concurrent users can't use your application. This is why we go to the trouble to use multiple machines, ideally in multiple availability zones if we're using one of the big three cloud providers.

Does anyone know what this actually means? If the contact discovery API doesn't return a username, what does it do? If the answer is that it returns a user ID now instead of username, then presumably that can then be freely queried for the corresponding username..

I'm pretty sure that only applies to ballistic missiles though. Cruise missiles probably don't show up on those satellites, and even if they did, how would you differentiate a nuclear armed cruise missile from a conventional cruise missile? There is also the matter of nuclear torpedoes, bombs dropped from planes, bombs placed by special forces (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special_Atomic_Demolition_Muni...), nuclear artillery shells (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/W48), recoilless guns (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Davy_Crockett_(nuclear_device)), etc.
Senator Whitehouse explained why Mitch could control the GOP.

Mitch has 10 rich backers who will fund election campaigns for (or against) any Senator Mitch endorses (or not). So if you vote against Mitch then your next campaign will fund a primary candidate and you lose your job.

A few Senators who need to look like they are independent get a "hall pass" (his words) so they can say they are independent. But not enough to change the overall result.

So your GOP Senator values his job over his country.

I guess it depends on how direct you want/need to be.

I reckon I send a "hey, we still on for tonight?" message to sound the other person out about how keen they are approximately once or twice a month maybe?

(Also, I feel there's possibly an unstated thing going on here. If the only decider about whether or not you are going to go out tonight is being able to identify with reasonable certainty that the other person is (or is not) considering "bailing" on you, there could well be stuff going on that means going out tonight is 100% the right thing for you to do. Depression is a sneaky bastard, the way it makes you think sitting on your couch and arguing on the internet is a better way to spend your evening that grabbing drinks/movie/dinner/walk/shooting-pool with a friend. Even your friend _was_ vaguely considering bailing on you, it's super likely that spending time with them is a way better way to be happy than ditching them... Possibly for both of you.)
One of the co-instructors here. I 100% see where you're coming from. There's a lot of things that we cover in the course and spend a lot of effort in and there are other topics that are very important that we didn't include within the scope of the course (e.g. unit/integration testing).

To address the above, we've tried being as transparent as possible by highlighting the main focus points of the course in our landing page, showing the app that people will build publicly (https://tinyhouse.app), and providing a detailed syllabus page (https://newline.co/tinyhouse/syllabus) that shows every lesson we go through. We definitely want students and/or potential students to know exactly what they'll be going through before they even decide to dive in.

My team at a Very Large Software Company runs CoreOS for two main reasons:

1. Reduced attack surface due to a very slim OS with no package manager.

2. CoreOS Ignition, a killer app OS provisioning/customization tool. No weird barely-documented kickstart scripts, and no long build and upload times for OS images. We can make changes/customizations to our OS and have them deployed in a cloud within literally minutes. We consider this a competitive advantage.

From what I understand the virus is treatable though highly contagious. China is having a tough time providing care for all those infected specially at the epicenter. If the virus starts spreading in poorer countries of Asia and Africa then mortality rate will go higher as I don't see them being able to control something that even China is facing hard time doing.

China is very capitalist now, if you weren't aware.

21st century Spanish Flu was the 2009 H1N1 swine flu pandemic. Literally - Spanish Flu was also H1N1, though the strains were slightly different. The 2009 pandemic was estimated to have sickened about 1.5B people and killed about 150,000 for the relatively low death rate of about 0.01%.

We'll likely think of coronavirus the same way we think of the 2009 pandemic, i.e. it gets a Wikipedia article of its own, an occasional historical mention, but we forget about it when disease is not specifically the topic of conversation.
