I’m surprised. They were massive names in the OS scene until recently. Their lineage can be traced back to Solaris and share many of the cool technologies that Sun developers pioneered. So much so that for the first few years of SmartOS, Li

I have nothing against buying cases but let’s be honest, if the answer to a genuine solvable hardware problem is to buy more hardware then you have to sympathise with those who complain about the insanity of the current market.

KDE 4 was released in 2008 and has been stable and consistent for more than a decade. That predates Windows 7. So in the same time KDE has been consistent you’ve had had the migration from XP or Vista to Win7. Then Windows 8 and now Window

Sorry, my previous comment was really unhelpful. What I meant was you should be using pipes and apaches own log rotate code. Read the “Logging Using Pipes” section at the very end. https://www.digitalocean.com/community&#x2F

If you don’t change the inode then no restart should be required. There’s definitely a few tools out there that solve this problem without needing to restart httpd.

That’s news to me. I’ve been managing Apache hosts for well over a decade and never had an issue. Used apache 1.3, 2.2 and 2.4. What’s your log rotation code look like?

Thank you For additional reference, it seems to be alternating sections starting below the fold (man I hate that phrase)

If the authors are reading this: The home page has some weird width issues going on for me where content starts somewhere off the left of the screen and ends somewhere off the other end. To compound the issue, I cannot scroll to the left. D

The problem is you need a boat load of additional code to cover unset. Not just in SQL (syntax is different for NULL than it is for comparing any other type) but often also in your importing language too (eg some languages will cast NULL to

I’d go further than you and say they should be removed by default on all fields. Want to know if a Boolean field is unset? Well it’s no longer Boolean because you now have 3 states for that field. So why not use a char, U/Y/N wi

In theory, yes. But there are a few caveats to that: 1. CERN wouldn’t have been able to patent anything too generalised because there was prior art (Gopher) 2. Thus if the patent was too expensive developers would have just used a similar t

Without wanting to sound dismissive to the massive contribution Tim Berners-Lee, and CERN as a whole, has made to IT; we’d probably have ended up with the same user experience we have today but with Gopher as the base tech. Or maybe somethi

As I said elsewhere when that argument was made; it’s a very tenuous connection. Things named after him isn’t the same as things he was directly involved in. I love Monty Python but it’s disingenuous to claim they they’re any more “on topic

Nar, I’m familiar with bcrypt. I was just getting bcrypt mixed up with scrypt. Doh. Even so, that’s still not a good enough reason to -rep without feedback.

by pushpop 7y ago
That’s tenuous at best. The reason it was “relevant” is simply because there’s more Monty Python fans on here than basketball fans. Which is fine if we’re talking purely about +votes but it doesn’t justify flagging a submission.

Peer moderation is abused on this site and it’s getting steadily worse. I’m on the verge of giving up on HN entirely, just like many of my other professionals I personally know already have done. Ultimately it will be HNs loss because the q

I learned this technique when I worked on the blue team of a cyber security firm. It’s not about sending your passwords in clear text to your RDBMS. You’d still use bcrypt like you normally would but instead of querying the password table d

Re salt, presumably you’re storing that bcrypt as a hashed string though? Re TCP connections, I was thinking HTTP proxies. Sounds like this isn’t HTTP traffic though so that’s not an issue. Also why was my previous comment negative karma’ed

Another thing to bare in mind, for those who are rolling their own, is how you caress those passwords from the DB. The common approach is a simple DB SQL select. But that then means if your web server gets exploited an attacker can dump the

Do you use a salt? Also how do you determine what is the same connection and what mechanisms do you have in place to prevent someone stealing that session?

Those two points aren’t mutually inclusive. Go is productive in specific ways. Other languages are productive in other specific ways. That’s why we have different programming languages solving different problems. So if someone says they lik

You can just download the go tarball and go from there. Technically you don’t need to install Go, you don’t need environmental variables set etc. But I do get your point. You are absolutely right that go doesn’t hand hold you through that p
