I think the point is supposed to be that "following the practices and procedures that limit their liability" = "doing their due diligence to reduce risk in accordance with their credentialing body". We generally don&#x27

You linked to wastewater treatment, not drinking water. Wastewater is definitely treated in NYC. Tap water is treated (UV and chloride disinfecting), but is largely not filtered: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Yo

While I can't speak for Knuth, I have been reflecting on the fact that developing with a modern LLM seems to be an evolution of the concept of Literate Programming that Knuth has long been a proponent of. What is the rationale behind t

I interpret this comment as talking about prioritization across a broader org. A senior engineer should be able to prioritize inside of their team and adjacent teams. But there is a reason why there are levels of engineer beyond senior - be

The article seems to focus too much on the consumer side of the bandwidth equation. I think the real win for Netflix is the aggregate egress bandwidth savings from their DCs. If Netflix can halve their bandwidth (as the article seems to cla

While this is a good idea to prevent folks from brute-forcing their way into your machine, the article is talking about DDoS attacks. If you have 150G pointed at your network the issue isn't going to be your servers. It's going to

Was this in the past week? Because just a few days ago I was experiencing a similar problem. I attempted to access https://rememberthemilk.com and chrome complained about the SSL cert, as I was receiving the cert for their CDN and not for

A large part of this is that the Second Amendment to the US Constitution explicitly protects people's right to bear arms. This has led to gun-ownership being an important topic to many American citizens, initially by people using to utilize

If you don't mind me asking, what country did you move too that has better personal rights? I know that Canada and most of the EU have a worse track record than the US when it comes to this. IMHO moving out of the US just avoids the problem

MySQL, though written in C++, reads more like C with classes. Even then, a large portion of the code is procedural instead of OO. They are slowly moving towards an OO style, but it will take a while before a reasonable percentage of the cod

How is this "beyond astonishing"? 27 years is minuscule on in a geologic time scale. Climate trends are measured in hundreds and thousands of years, if not more.

I would disagree with this article. Most posts through third-party applications will have a motivation to reach the largest possible audience. This will lead to an excessive amount of public posts. Not only will this defeat the purpose of "

In my experience there is a large class of people who lack basic curiosity about how things work. They are content to believe that things just "exist". I haven't done much research into this, but I would be interested in seeing if this is c

The title is a bit misleading. The campus is not "for Google", but rather a space for start-ups. Only the building is owned by Google. On a side note, the bear looks like one of the United Buddy Bears from the original Berlin collection. I'

While I agree that the page by itself is not very useful, it still does give access to two huge sources of data that Google has on you: your Web History, and your Google Dashboard. Obviously it would be more useful if they were integrated i

I interpreted as "write on the paper at a 90 degree angle to the lines" (aka not the way you should be doing it). This seems to be a standard rehashing of "going against the grain", advice to be different, to not follow expectations. That's

This may not be exactly what you're looking for, but I generally resort back to good old 'git grep / grep' when looking through unfamiliar github projects. running grep from emacs links all the matches to their corresponding files, so you c

While I don't have any statistics, I do not doubt their claim. CloudFlare is a CDN, and as such will handle an enormous amount of traffic. As an example of this, Akamai, a large CDN, handles approximately 20% of the total traffic on the int

I get the feeling that the Ripples feature isn't designed for the average consumer. It's aimed at the marketing crowd. They can easily find out who the big "share hubs" are, and leverage that to potentially help promote their product or sta

I disagree with his argument. While it is certainly quite possible that there will be a collapse in education for the liberal arts, the field of engineering will need higher education for a long time to come. Of course, many classes may be
