Nowhere in the article does it say anything about "friendly".

I don't even start the video. They are almost always just marketing and hyperbole anyway. I assume that if they went through all the troubles of creating a video they must also have the information in much-easier-to-produce text form.

While you do want HA you also want to keep things simple. You get great HA with just one backup machine. The times you lose two machines are so few that you might crash the site with software failures far more often anyway. Databases have i

That is a good point. But then I'm even less sure where I would use this. Definitely not when out hiking in the woods. I still believe I'm with the 25% that didn't prefer asynchronous messaging.

No voice? That lost all of my interest. So now I need to tap out a message on my expensive, somewhat fragile smartphone with dirty fingers while losing all sight of the road for a minute. Instead of a sturdy walkie-talkie where I can hear t

Note that 12 kg is 26.5 pounds, so they are all somewhat related to each other but not exactly. The number of significant digits on the Castille version is ridiculous compared to the others. Could it be that Castille still uses this unit an

And the user still has no way of ensuring the safety of the underlying transport. How do I know the form is going to be sent over a secure link after a push the button? Who will get this credit card? It doesn't say anywhere. But the bl

It's pretty strange to get root access to a server, even though it's just a Docker VM. We can install anything we want, compile any C code we want, DDoS and spam anyone we want... The machine is also crazy loaded right now, with 1

I'm an early beta user. Your web app is run in a virtual machine. You can store stuff to disk, in memory or in your own database (the PHP container gives you a database per default). I am not sure what happens to stuff in RAM if they c

This is extremely useful, not only for inspiration and learning, but also so you actually know what is happening under the hood. This is great for troubleshooting and for reasoning about your own code. This is one big pro for open source in

Why did you have to end an otherwise good answer with a racist slur?

As long as they don't tamper with the data I think an HTTP cache is perfectly OK. HTTP has loads of built-in mechanism for that kind of caching. It saves bandwidth upstream, not least for website owners, and may make your web browsing

A maximum size limit is an obvious troll to get down to O(1) sort!

> the PRNG will walk the number space Are you sure? What if there's an infinite amount of tries to get to a certain number? You can of course reason about the average case, but maybe the worst case (when there's an input number

Maybe they should just stop pay for Firefox development if they don't like Firefox. Google pays huge amounts of money to Mozilla.

I certainly do agree that this somewhat more abstract approach is much better for stable web applications. My point is that PHP doesn't require you to understand anything to get started, which explains its widespread usage. That is of

I have a fresh install of such a distro, where Python is included. What do I need to do to from Python present an input form which takes my name and a second page that greets me using the same name? Including deployment of course, how else

No, most people would not do that. They would click the links on the page.

They still should be able to figure out how to take down the website to avoid being exploited.

That domain name sure looks like a phishing scam. Six days to take down the websites and start bugfixing is a lot of time for this kind of vulnerability.

The fact that Bloglovin is on that list must mean we're doing something right. The blogosphere is all about taking control over both production and consumption of media.

Indeed. Where I live, Asperger was diagnosed by only a couple of university hospitals ten years ago, with waiting times counted in years. Today it's diagnosed by hundreds of local psychiatry clinics around the country, and a study is u

Do they reuse the phone numbers after a while? Will I get phone calls for previous users of that same number?

I think that's a flawed assertion. It's easy to make an insecure file upload in most server-side web languages. An example in the PHP manual is only a couple of lines of code: http://www.php.net/manual/en&#x2F

No, there is no use case where this is feasible on the public web. Even a small site with a strange URL and few visitors will be attacked in exactly the way described in the blog post if they try to use this. I'm sure some bot maintain

The price was including taxes (VAT), and I guess they would ship it from UK to European backers, with no duties inside the European union. I agree that the price was high, but not higher than for other phones in the same market segment (com
