Kermit, xmodem, ymodem and zmodem were all file transfer protocols, often used to transfer files on bulletin board systems (BBS).

I also ran through most of the modem speeds. All the lower speeds were calls made to BBSs, pre internet. 1200, 2400, 9600, 14400, 28800, 33600…

It is great for large, asynchronous, parallelised processing jobs. I’ve used it to integrate and orchestrate with numerous services within AWS ecosystem. We use source control for the step function JSON and deploy with terraform.

I think he is saying that each developer have their own environment with full production like architecture. There are benefits to having each developer running in their own sandbox, with full freedom to deploy breaking changes at any time. Besides storage, costs are usually 100% variable based on use. Each developer may not have a full replica of production data, as with TBs of data, storage cost might get expensive. Many serverless designs are impervious to the size of dataset, with sharding and auto-scaling, so the performance and scalability risks of running a subset of production data during development are typically minimal.

Perhaps container vulnerability scanning? That’s probably a showstopper for most large customers.

I don’t think so. Android, Gmail, Maps, Chromebook…

This sounds similar to how the 8088 XT motherboards could be toggled with a turbo button on the front of the case.

As someone who shares the same surname, always being at the top of the list was somewhat less desirable during school.

I’m very happy with my Proxmox x86 host running OpenWRT x86 in a container. It works beautify. I love how fast it is to take a backup/snapshot to try out new configurations and rollback in case of issues. The same host runs plenty of other services like home assistant.

I had pfSense working before OpenWRT but wanted wireguard so I made the switch.

Fortean is still very popular in the scientific community for numeric processing. For example, many nuclear simulations run on fortran.

Yes, and the government demands that taxes be paid in it, so there will always be some demand.

I find the SAFe framework describes the brilliance of Kanban nicely [1]. I’m surprised there isn’t some discussion on queuing theory such as Little’s Law [2] either, as I feel it is also relevant.

You can customise your Fastmail spam filtering if needed, however after 15 years of Fastmail email, I still get virtual zero spam.

The European payment industry is adopting secure customer authentication in the form of 3DS2.1.

I believe it would only be possible to maintain yourself as a backpacker on $100 per day. This might be lower in the bush but true in most urban locations in Australia.

I would contend that HackerRank has done a good job of screening and filtering on this occasion. Given clear instruction, the only skill demonstrated was insubordination.

In the UK, we have "New Layout Ahead" signs everywhere. Once erected, they seem to stay in place forever and increase noise. Is there any evidence that these are beneficial?

We are investigating using Scala and Akka (using actors) for concurrent processing. No locks are needed...

I am still happy after 15 years of paying for Fastmail.

There is evieence that removing safety devices reduces speeds. Drivers compensate to the conditions. I found this article interesting: https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2016/feb/04/remova...
