aPoCoMiLogin··on How ClickHouse saved our data (2020)
> After the JetBrains hack

AFAIK there was no evidence that solarwind fiasco was because of jetbrains [0], also the clickhouse is open source [1] under apache2 license and you can check the source and question it by yourself.

aPoCoMiLogin··on Apple unveils M1, its first system-on-a-chip for portable Mac computers
if you hear "3x times faster" would you like to know the baseline or just blindly trust that the metric is correct? if you don't care, they would never show the "3x times faster" metric at all, but they do for a reason
aPoCoMiLogin··on NPM package 'isarray' is downloaded 40M times a week
first commit is from 2013 [0], first Node that had Array.isArray was 0.1.15 from 2009 [1], thus making is as Node module was pointless, but polyfill for browsers might have some sense.

aPoCoMiLogin··on NPM package 'isarray' is downloaded 40M times a week
Array.isArray has been implemented in 1.3.16 of V8 [0] which was used in node 0.1.15! [1] doubt that someone even is using that old node.js this to me looks like 3rd-party packages that were added very long ago and the code was never updated.

aPoCoMiLogin··on Ask HN: Microsoft blocked my outlook.com account for using a VPN. Any ideas?
exactly, had a lot of attack attempts from nordvpn/expressvpn, no wonder someone might got ban because of same IP.
aPoCoMiLogin··on Ask HN: Microsoft blocked my outlook.com account for using a VPN. Any ideas?
Few months ago I've had an issue with someone trying to fraud money via partner program, testing and using a lot of credit cards, changing IP each time he tested one card. In the end he managed pass trough fraud checks around 50 times. All IP's were from northvpn/expressvpn. So no wonder that you might get ban elsewhere by using same IP as someone else trying to do someting illegal.
aPoCoMiLogin··on Loss of smell could be a 'highly reliable indicator' of Covid-19, research says
I'm doing much better now, thanks! Yeah I was a bit skeptical about covid, thought it was exaggerated, but when you go trough all of this by yourself, then you realize that it wasn't.

Yes, and they are gone mostly now.

False recovery is the worst thing, when you think that this is the end, then sluggishnes and headaches comes to remind you that you are still sick. Headaches and sluggishnes with dizziness still keep coming back, like last monday it was bad to the point I though that I'll lie down on the floor and won't get up. From what I've found, every time when I feel sick, my blood pressure is above 140/90. Check yours It may be the case.

30ish, one condition that I can think of is sinusitis, which I always have when I have the flu, with swelling of the eyes and stuffed nose. But this time there was no swelling nor stuffed nose.

also my brother when he was a kid, had pneumonia few times as I did, and when he's sick (mostly flu) he has the same issues that I've got.

My girlfriend had that symptoms for few days, so I've told her to make the test, she got back and told me that the test was positive and we've got 2 weeks quarantine, it was august 26th.

The very next day I got really painful arthralgia (august 27th). The next day was fever that lasted till the thursday (august 29th). On the next day (30th august) I was feeling good, though that that was the end. Oh boy how I was wrong. Later on the same day I've had issues with breathing, friday night was nightmare with short shallow breathing and fever, that scared me a lot, never feel that way. I've gad few times pneumonia when I was a kid, but this was next level. The next day was better, so I didn't call an ambulance as they were already overwhelmed, but got to the hospital by myself and did the test with positive result. On the monday (september 2nd) I started coughing a lot, but the next day was much worse. With tuesday I started having headaches, dizziness and ear ache.. Coughing, headaches and dizziness lasted more than a week, with better and worse days.

It was the worst experience of the last few years, and it started with loss of smell an taste.

aPoCoMiLogin··on What's wrong with Intel, and how to fix it: Former principal engineer unloads
From most of the test that I've seen [0][1], there is not that big of difference in single-threaded performance between AMD & Intel. IMO this is rather related to difference in SMT implementation, than idication of weak ST.

You can use ESM (including dynamic import) in node 6+ (without babel) by using https://github.com/standard-things/esm and cut the `.mjs` and "it can't work like that" crap.

> Ryzen’s “Hyper-Threading” looked good because of poor single-threaded performance

So if my CPU is one of the worst in single-threaded performance, then multi-threaded performance will be the best? That make no sense and this guy doesn't seem like he knows what he is talking about..

Apple is an email authority in this case, and as third party you have to rely on their security. Same as with ssl certificate authority.

aPoCoMiLogin··on JWT is Awesome
For me blacklisting is bad idea in general. It can be achieved without blacklisting downsides by using asymmetric keys per user. Where you could rotate keys after things like logout or password change. Keys might be stored in replicated storage, same as session, and deleted/rotated as needed.

Don't get me wrong, JWT it's not silver bullet nor it was meant to be one in first place. It's not session replacement, but there are places where right implementation makes lot of sense.

> With multiple tabs open, logging out on one tab needs to be synced with rest of the tabs via some event listeners.

that's a problem with every site in general, which doesn't use any kind of event listeners.
