The article mentions this, but this is an opportunity not a problem. If a hyperscaler wants to connect a 500MW datacenter, great. That's a huge investment, with various positive externalities. Requiring the builders of the datacenter t

Whoa, I had no idea Beej is teaching at OSU! Back when I was an OSU student I taught myself a lot about practical systems programming, and I was consulting Beej's Guide to Network Programming daily. I kept lamenting to myself that I wi

MCP auth has been a huge pain point for us at C1 - both for our own internal MCP use and in our in-product MCP Gateway - so very glad to see this landing. We launched support today for C1 to act as an EMA identity provider (we mint the shor

I think the argument would go that if people are clicking through certificate errors and you're in a position to MITM their traffic, you can just serve them a different certificate and they'll click through the error without notic

I don't think lenders have any ability to retroactively require PMI; certainly no mortgage I've ever signed permitted this.

The title is clearly meant to generate outrage, but what is wrong with cutting up a book that you own?

Interesting, good info. To be clear though, this grant is for over $1,200 per ton.

I don't quite understand the goal of this project. It says they're preventing 15,000 tons of emissions, but there are all kinds of ways to prevent or offset greenhouse gas emissions for under $10/ton. So at a glance this proj

At least in the Pacific Northwest most Electrify America installations are in Walmart parking lots. These have caused me to spend more time at Walmart the past two years, honestly its a pretty good experience - aside from EA reliability iss

Without looking at any data I’m guessing part of this is that married men end up with kids and can’t afford a home they want to raise kids in there. Edit: also, school quality.

This looks great! At risk of harping on a tired topic, have you thought about embedding an AI query generator? For ad-hoc queries like I mostly use DuckDB for I’ve found it’s almost always fastest for me to paste the schema to ChatGPT, tell

It doesn’t sound to me like the boat actually sank. In the article it mentioned that they heard the rescue helicopter from within. Wouldn’t that imply that the pressure inside would be one atmosphere? Am I thinking about the physics of this

Does peanut butter often have added sugar? I’ve got Kirkland and Adam’s in my closet and am 99% sure neither lists that on the container.

In security contexts the term “enumeration” is understood to mean “brute force”. You can Google “enumeration attack” to see a bunch of examples where this is explicitly defined.

I saw a video where this company is doing exactly that for weeds: https://youtube.com/watch?v=V3A6L2Dao6s Great idea, I hope it works.

In this context WASM is more like a slower container than an application runtime. The potential advantages being: * Far better isolation than a normal Linux container * If WASM takes off, maybe architecture-independent artifact distri
