My personal S5 experience leads me to believe that there was some trickery afoot from Samsung's end. When I realised that my S5 was starting to get a little bit dodgy (having owned it from April 2011 until around December 2018) I went

Genuine question, do normal people pronounce ARM as "Arm" (like the limb) as in /ɑːrm/ or /ɑːm/, or do they pronounce it like A.R.M as in each letter individually. I've always said ARM (as in each individu

Dammit.. was hoping Australia could silently slip under the radar on this one. The thing that I suspect that most people don't understand about Australia is that the laws don't really mean shit all unless the situation gets very s

This. I'm kind of suprised that I can't see any other comments talking about GTM's (I assume you mean F5 Global Traffic Managers) Where I am at the moment GTM's are used everywhere, and everywhere the TTL is set to 30s.

No, actually, my bad, I went back and read that bit over again for a third time and it does actually say red yellow blue aren't primary, but that the primary colours are red yellow and blue. You were correct and I jusy managed to misre

Both of those statements are correct in context. RGB if a thing is emitting light. CMYK if a thing is reflecting light. So it is true to say "Red, green, and blue are the basic building blocks of other colours" It is also true to

Where I am at the moment we're running clusters of 400-800 containers sitting behind nginx instances and even thought we own nginx+ licenses, we've found the consul-template + SIGHUP route to be totally fine, even at a churn of ma

I would be sceptical that anyone wouldn't want to join the dots if it meant that their most popular product stayed popular and they didnt end up with blood on their hands after many many people died because those dots remained unjoined

I was actually pretty pleased with this as a proposal right up until Problem 8 I actually use the description of commit and the time of commit quite regularly to figure out how active a project is. If everything but the readme and maybe a

I do wonder if there is any chance that the reason that there is a spike in reports of abuse on the Saturday following report cards coming out on a Friday is because it is more likely to be reported? It's not mentioned anywhere in the

I'm curious if you could reason this out for me. If I drink a few hundred litres of tea a day to keep me alert then why is that different to me taking ritalin? I mean its obviously impractical and probably quite bad for me and I should

No shit speed and meth are stronger than coffee. I don't think that was the point being made. Or at least its probably safe to assume the commenter you are replying to didn't indend to imply that. Sorry to be do blunt but casually

I suspect the problem most people end up trying to solve isn't "how do I technically scale my tools", because the author points out that tools and techniques for this already exist and its an already solved problem. Instead m

Not sure how the specifics of this works on amazon but when I read it initially I assumed the results were returned as images which seems to make a little bit more sense, although possibly not that much. Although reading it again it does se

As an Australian I always struggle with the idea that healthcare would cost money above a couple of dollars for things that aren't essential. But almost every American I've ever spoken to who hasn't experienced decent nationa

Interesting comment: > Selling drugs is much more convenient and profitable, for example. I know its not related to the original topic, nor the core point of your comment but I'd be fascinated to know why you think this. Based on my

I find it interesting that there seem to be things called out as features which conflict: 1. Recording all requests in a database - feels like only very low value targets could do this. Exposing a database record of requests within the same

Personally I'd be pretty sure that, at least at the bank I currently work at, this would rarely ever work. I mean, other than the attempts to foster a relationship between bank staff and the tech people through things like days of lett

I'm curious, when is server time ever worth more than developer time? I mean, sure, if you're doing something as a hobby and consider your own time free but have to pay $5 for a VM somewhere, then maybe. But especially at large co

I feel like a less confusing title would be something like "Github to discontinue support for weak cryptographic standards Feb 2018 (2017)" I saw this with the original 2018 in the title and immediately had a pretty bad "what

I would question the incentives for an insurance company to reject claims arbitrarily or to not make the process for submitted claims at the very least adequate for two reasons: 1. If you insure a bunch of people against, in short, stuff

As long as the patch is all anyone notices then it looks great from AMD marketing. But I'm fairly confident (and a quick browse through the patched in the latest RC confirms at least one instance of this) where comments call out that A

They own all the actual cable in Australia. So are essentially our only tier 1 ISP. Everyone else just needs to buy services from them.

Yes, and they do. Which is why people should rely on the gpg keys of vendors as well as watching forums and other buyers to work out if things have suddenly become suspicious.
