I have always found the dark forest theory silly. What is the idea there? If you are silent, hungry night predator will not find you? Because that is how evolution has built them - in odrer to survive they need their food to actively advert

Can it be that after reading so many LLM texts we will just subconciously follow the style, because that's what we are used to? No idea how this works for native English speakers, but I know that I lack my own writing style and it is j

I double that. When I choose where to go, I look if I'll be able to park there, and if not - I will always be able to find another place. Parking availability is number one priority, not star rating or $$$ Am I the only person on Earth

I don't think that taking interception rate as the only metric is fair. RU missiles have shown pretty low precision - and hitting a moving ship is much harder than hitting a stationary building, at least in my imagination.

I've watched a documentary on mushrooms. Their posion is not a defense mechanism in most (all? don't remember) cases. It is just a consequence of the fact that mushrooms need to dump the excess Nitrogen somewhere, and that is rela

Not an OP but I have similar experience with ZFS. Over 22 years of maintaining servers, I have had serious issues exclusively with ZFS. My pool is there, but it doesnt want to mount no matter what amount of IRC/reddit/SO/ge

It is not Cloudflare's fault. It means the website operators were so fed up with bots and bad actors that they just applied a carpet ban and called it a day. Thanks to Cloudflare I was able to reduce my website load threefold and down

Well, that's a good case study for teens who are learning and are going to join this industry. If you rent instead of owning, you can be rugpulled at any moment. And then your only hope is getting viral on Reddit/HN/other pla

I strongly disagree that "it's a shame" that English does not use diacritics. English is my second language (third maybe, considering that the country of my birth is bilingual), and is my favorite language to read and to writ

I am not sure about your particular area, but all those concerns have been solved for me. If I get package in my local mailbox (which is always nearby), I get a key to the delivery box dropped into my mail box. If the package doesnt fit the

Would it work in this case? Had he asked about this in a team, he would be told about the existing approach and that'd be it. I've been on the both sides, as junior questioning common practices and as senior answering such questio

Well, humans do understand such thing as scale. C4 and nuke are both just explosives, and there are laws in place that prohibit exploding them in the middle of the city. But the laws that regulate storage and access to the nukes and to C4

Why does article say "On 19th July 2019, CrowdStrike pushed an update" ? Is it another incident in the past, same as OVH, or a typo? I'm kind of lost in context

I watch alot of air incident reports on YT. Many of accidents (not crash) include words like "Unfortunately we wouldn't know exactly what happened, because pilots forgot to turn off the voice recorder after landing". Pilots

If server has strict iptables policy for incoming packets, you would still need to go to iptables allow second port. so if you need to iptables anyway, why just not redirect without editing sshd config? the less modifications the better cha

I got into IT because of him mainly. When I was 12, where I was growing up I was the only one who knew what a computer is. I remember reading his story somewhere, then I got to my mom's computer at her office and read all I could find

just remove some fuse that you know for sure prevents car from starting (fuel pump fuse for example) and you don't need to disconnect any wires. sure, you will have to spend additional 20 seconds removing and putting it back every time

I have always been blown away by money requirements for such visas, in many countries. Show monthly income of 1000000 ISK. Over 7k USD. Why? I used to live in Dubai, which is considered pretty expensive place, and never spent over 2500 per

You never know which 0-day gets discovered tomorrow, so even strong password might not be enough. I always change default ports on both SSH and RDP. It helps falling out of scope of unsofisticatrd scanners, keeps logs a bit cleaner plus d

I was thinking the same initially. But I've been using my Yubikey for 6 or 7 years now, haven't lost it, haven't lost the recovery key which you create during initial setup, and it survived three times being machine washed.

I fail to understand what this type of statistic would give to bank. If your employee is sitting at the desk and watching cat videos whole day, you are happy employer? And if you can also monitor if he is watching videos or doing work, why

I doubt that at this point of our technological advance any predator could really pose such a threat to humanity in whole. No PETA in the world would save such predator from extinction, and this would come not from everyday Joe who started

Did they count only paper books? I read on average one book each month, but all are digital. Overall I agree with the idea, people for sure haven't stopped reading books. But I'm not that sure about the paper ones.

It depends on person. We are (de)motivated by different things. I was growing up in a neighborhood where most part of people above 14 were using something. Most adults were using something heavy and awful, like heroin or desomorphine or wh

It can be just bank policy, not related to any shortage or whatever. My bank allowed me to withdraw $ 30k, and didn't even ask why, they just said "come tomorrow, we don't have that cash today".
