Bicycles aren't legal on UK pavements either. If you're forced onto the road there isn't any benefit to an e-scooter vs an e-bike.

About 30x worse: https://blogs.princeton.edu/research/2014/03/26/a-more-poten... As far as carbon neutrality goes, you’re drawing a conclusion about the value based only on the first derivative. If you h

It’s both. I know banking and insurance companies that offered relocations last year, but IMO that’s to save effort hiring for the EU offices rather than moving existing jobs. Moving an entire department isn’t practical.

Practical forgery attacks against an arbitrary client are hard, but configuring a public WiFi AP to intercept your favourite repeating-digit DNS server is trivial. Lots of people use public WiFi! In such a scenario a VPN is a more secure an

The two most common scenarios in my 3 years of experience are fan-in and first-error (executing stuff for their side effects only). It’s easy to mess up the latter, but golang.org/x/sync/errgroup is usually what you want.

Up to a point; obsolescence happens by games requiring graphics APIs that didn't exist 5 years ago.

The difference is a real-sounding name like Harry Potter (or Michael Bolton: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=_BaMx_n2_hM ) attracts comments rather than suspicion.

Regarding the leap second bug, I suspect this is an example of perfect being the enemy of the good. It appeared to me that the golang devs believed so strongly in the superiority of leap second smearing that waiting for everyone to adopt it

Shouldn't possessing surveillance tools be a fundamental human right in this hypothetical scenario?

The most generous interpretation is that it can work - if you're careful, and if you're using a kernel from 2016. While I trust the author to do this (thankfully, as he's my coworker) there is a lot of Linux software that doe

That won't work if the origin firewall allows only CloudFlare IP ranges.

The hash is used to find listening sockets. Source port doesn't help you there. Destination IP is a reasonable addition to the hash function, however.

by seabee 10y ago
There is only one listener bound to star, instead of 16k listeners for every IP. Thus, the hash bucket mapping to port 53 has only one entry instead of 16k. It works out the same for the application: 1 fd or 16k fds doesn't really matt

True in a monopoly situation, but if you have competition and they can automate like you, there will be a race to the bottom.

It remains an issue for the origin server if the DDoS targets uncacheable content.

Unfortunately, it won't work. 1. It's a charity tax; you have to convince people to incur the cost of Tor (i.e. CAPTCHAs everywhere) for activities that don't require Tor. 2. You can't neutralise a poison by diluting it.

It's regressive because of the marginal utility of money. The difference between earning 0 and 10K (getting to pay rent and groceries) is more important than the difference between earning 100K and 110K (better luxuries), yet a flat ta

OTOH sometimes you ought to think about it the way the type system does, because its own limitations reflect those of other users of your code. The biggest one is consumers of your (public) interface, whose code shouldn't fail to compi

My local council has a reward scheme. Recycling earns points redeemable at participating local shops. I suspect it is ineffective. I've always recycled as much as I can but the incentives are too small for me to bother signing up, let

The prices aren't much different to the full-size stores, but they (understandably) only stock the small sizes of everything. You wouldn't buy in bulk there.

Unfortunately my bugs are typically too gnarly and need more context than a 1-2 hour interview allows, or I'd definitely incorporate them into interviews. In the best case, it's like free labour!

State in a closure is equally as bad as state in an object. The difference is FP gives you ways to manage and isolate state that simply don't exist in OOP.
