I think the cost honestly killed them. If they would have just bolted a SoC and decent software onto a mostly existing lock, they could have sold the thing for $50 more than a regular lock and still made money. Their desire to build everyth

All of the serious hackers with resources have a paid mole involved in the embargo discussion mailing list. The most dangerous people already know. Embargo is simply a way to make sure the huge, rich cloud providers don't have their re

Grpc is the future, I'm amazed that nobody seems to be using it. Easy endpoint definitions and code generation in almost every popular language. Much faster than REST and zero boilerplate code. The client libraries even have http baked

The problem is massive. Most people haven't noticed yet but it's only a matter of time. Eventually everyone gets burned at least once and Amazon becomes the new ebay. They need to get a handle on their supply chain and stop outsou

I don't see a ton of value in this. The main use case mentioned (preventing use of functions with wrong parameter order) can be worked around using the common 'options' object pattern that everyone uses for functions with a l

Unless the culture is wildly different than here in the US I don't think it's reasonable to consider private school and nannies as part of "cost of living"... Those are both unnecessary luxuries.

Android phones are not widely used for surveying critical infastructure unlike these drones. The fact that a Chinese product sends data to China is hardly surprising, but US intel is warning that such a thing is dangerous considering what t

I strongly suspect it's your carrier preventing google from filtering these calls. I have google fi and it filters spam automatically (suspected spam at least disables ringer)

Pretty sad what you have to do to have a chance at getting a job these days. Is there any proof that this gets better employees? I haven't seen a shred of real scientific evidence. Is it anything more than corporate hazing? You have to

Haha this is exactly how I pictured it working! Made by the makers of express too.

by slackingoff2017 9y ago
Express is ripe to be replaced. It has the weirdest syntax I've ever seen and is basically designed around call back hell. I can't wait till somebody rebuilds it in Typescript or at least around async

Are you sure they didn't use UDP? It seems like the kernel flow control in TCP would interact badly with LEDBAT
15.
by slackingoff2017 9y ago
Yup, it's because for the longest time TCP was as aggressive as possible to get the most bandwidth. Over the last 10 years networks buffers have become gigantic and sending packets as fast as you can causes standing queues that can be

by slackingoff2017 9y ago
LEDBAT is similar but works on L7 instead of L4 and needs support on both ends. BBR is excellent. It's the first congestion control strategy to really focus on fairness rather than trying to send packets as fast as possible. Combined w

Yes! I've been waiting for a fast userland OSS network stack forever. There's things like DPDK for IP but nobody has taken up the monumental task of getting TCP working and reliable

LEDBAT typically runs over UDP and doesn't need kernel support. Windows has something similar with "background intelligent transfer service" BITS, but LEDBAT works just fine outside kernel.

There's several companies dedicated to moving ultra high net worth individuals. It's hard to believe there's no market between that and the cheapest options. Sounds like their marketing wasn't great or they ran out of ru

When you connect with ftp or HTTP you get a top level directory or a home page. Same thing as looking through an open door.

I'm saying that unauthorized access shouldn't apply to things that are trivial to access even by mistake. The law needs to be at the same standard as real life. For example the police can search your belongings unless they're

An ftp client downloads a list of files as soon as you connect. It's the same as fat fingering a website in your browser. Are you saying I should go to jail if I type the wrong website, it loads, and it turns out that site was supposed

"unauthorized access" is bs. It was a public ftp server and he notified the owners. It's like telling your neighbor his door is open.

I used to live on the east coast and saw kids riding the subway all the time. It's no different than taking them into a store. A bonus of public transport is that you can let your kids do whatever once they hit 13. There's always

People will resist giving up cars in areas with crappy weather, but I could see this working in many US cities west/south currently choked with traffic.
