Sweet. Glad to hear someone's working on it who knows what they're doing. :-P

I spent a fair amount of time at work five or six years ago trying to figure out how to make supply chain security actually possible in the general case with standard open-source tools. And I can tell you that the fact that Docker builds ar

Does anyone know of a more generalized framework for doing this kind of thing? I'd been meaning to write a framework kind of like this for some time, but never got around to it, and was hoping someone else would. This one unfortunately

The communication doesn't give that impression; instead it says that the paper makes claims that ignore significant and credible challenges to those claims. Dean said that these factors would need to be addressed, not agreed with. Publ

Apple's new chip "shreds" a 2016-era GPU? Wow.

IIRC, all GCPs IPv6 support is complicated by the fact that they adopted IPv6 from the get-go for internal routing, and layer the user-visible virtual address space on top of it, embedding the user-visible addresses inside the invisible &qu

My brother is an ER doc in a well-known facility, and he says this covid thing is freaking the everliving shit out of the front-line medical profession. This virus is just not behaving like a normal disease should. The doctors who have been

Thing is, Google requires an absolutely stupid amount of computing resources for running their core business. YouTube transcoding is a great example and a big one for sure, but I bet they have even bigger ones in there somewhere. I have no

Eehm... Arbitrage is buying on one market to immediately sell on another market at a profit. Which is exactly what these folks were doing. Except that the other market administratively blocked them from selling. Then the first market wouldn

The study is fundamentally flawed and the article (headline claim in particular) is nonsensical. The study is flawed in that it lacks a control group and is missing information about relevance. You say people don't see the road when yo

Really? That's certainly not something I generally hear. You can levy a lot of complaints against police systems, especially the a few of the more infamous departments. But that one seems like it's pushing a bit to make a specific

Thing is, the copyright is owned by Oracle of all companies and and the legality is more than questionable enough to allow Oracle to sue for damages the second the code shows up in use by a big enough fish. Oracle won't relicense the c

Magical indeed. Except that public opinion counts for nothing in copyright law; you have to fight it out in court. Luckily, Sun isn't the kind of company that would file questionable lawsuits against Linux users just to... wait.. wasn&

> ...disliked ZFS because they feel it was designed to be incompatible with Linux... Ya... That may have just a bit to do with the fact that ZFS is released under a licence that was explicitly designed to be incompatible with Linux. &q

The point is that just because you don't want most sites to use these features doesn't mean that no use exists . I just want to make sure I don't get nag notifications begging me to turn it on every time I visit a news sit

Discord replaced ventrillo and teamspeak for gaming communities. For those you actually ran a "server". Whether or not the company started out calling these accounts "servers" initially, that customer base sure did. It w

Regardless of wire gauge, bundles of wire noticably reduce your heat dissipation ability and therefore reduce your safe current carrying capacity accordingly. That's why electrical code significantly de-rates the current capacity of ci

Probably just misunderstood; what you said is a mixed up jumble of bits of actual facts. C.diff is something that you always have some of (you'll never be rid of it, nobody is), but it usually gets out-competed by other bacteria. But

Oh yes? A productivity bonanza you think? I'm in the Seattle area and my office has been shut down for at over a week now. It's not been as rosy as you think. Here's what it's actually like: First, the company has always

That should be a given. Linking to a paywalled source for an audience that you can't guarantee are all subscribers is like telling everyone to just trust you that a story exists.

Being first to report something is ultimately worthless, and absolutely not what we want to encourage (rushing to publish in order to be first). What matters in actual journalism, and what we should encourage, elevate, and credit, is the B

PKIs are a much more general system, but this is a very specific PKI that was built specifically for web browsers. You can use others, you can even build your own. The fact that the this PKI was first, means that some people depend on it

At no point have the browsers ever not been running the whole TLS show. The CAB forum is a useful construct, but its usefulness has a specific place. Imagine a weird little town with 6 people who buy all the groceries and a 60 grocery sto

I tried to read this 4 times. I really did. But I couldn't get past "Take A Way". Take... A... Way... Take a way. Take exactly one way. A way to take. I have three ways, you get to take one. Need a way? Take a way! Feel free

This. The whole point of k8s, the reason Google wrote it to begin with, was to commoditize the management space and make vendor lock-in difficult to justify. It's the classic market underdog move, but executed brilliantly. Going with a

Following your metaphor, what about email between Bob and Carol which mentions Alice explicitly, using her name and email address? Should Alice be entitled to a copy of that private message between Bob and Carol? Does information become you

I think the problem they're printing out isn't the writing, it's the content. Coroutines and event loops are two independent concepts. And scheduling tasks cooperatively in userspace is another concept still. You've got

There are lots of reasons to open source internal software, and only a minority of them involve establishing a serious community and driving significant adoption. But the PR claim you're making isn't particularly credible. The ROI
