"Some flavor change was found in the beverages by taste panels, more in beer than in soft drinks."

You do know that memory-safe languages are developed using memory-unsafe languages, and eventually execute the binary code on the actual CPU?

So this is how you get views and clicks these days - make a couple of factually incorrect statements, refuse to do any research, put a FUD clickbait in the title, and bingo - you are a "popular" "journalist".

Thanks for the quality content.

You are absolutely right, there is very little documentation on UDP (probably because it was a pariah protocol reserved for "weird" things like DNS and SIP).

Now that UDP is becoming the mainstream, any documentation is highly appreciated.

Any chance of an article explaining difference in UDP handling between Linux and Windows? I've seen some weird client UDP issues on Windows side some time ago, and (unsurprisingly) found zero documentation explaining these issues.

I have come down to one metric in the end - sleep time (tracking with sleep++ on apple watch).

The rest of the metrics lost meaning to me - they fluctuate too much depending on the weather / schedule / other factors. They also do not affect me as much as sleep.

You are right. Anti-vaxxers have some valid points - admittedly, introducing a foreign substance into human body always carries some risks.

The problem with risks and probability is that human brain does not process probability numbers well, so it is all or nothing.

Anti-vaxxers point of view: I do not understand what 0.0001 is, round it up to 0.5 - OMG vaccines kill.

Vaxxers point of view: I do not understand what 0.0001 is, let us round it down to 0. Vaccines are harmless.

Second point is way more rational, although of course also incorrect.

Just wanted to say huge Thank You to the guys at Cloudflare for the awesome content. You post some of the best articles on Linux kernel, network stack and eBPF. I immensely enjoy these. Keep up the good work!

I do not think Holmes was competent enough to understand that tech would never work (this is still up for debate though, "never" is a very broad timeframe).

Instead, she did waht every CEO does - hired people whom she believed to be capable of making the tech work, gave an optimistic world view to the investors to make sure she has the time/money to get to production, and demanded the results from her employees.

If anything, she was too successful - she got too much money, and she got Walgreens to agree to a test run way too early. The rest is textbook Silicon Valley.

Lost one node in a small ElasicSearch cluster. The incident did not affect the cluster availability. The node was reintegrated into the cluster once it came back online.

Last update:

The environmental conditions within the affected Availability Zone have now returned to normal levels. We will provide further details on the root cause in a subsequent posts, but *can confirm that there was no fire* within the facility.

The hardware is heat-resistant, so probably around ~75C (167F).

COVID has many other long-term side-effects besides death (fatigue, muscle and joint pain, respiratory problems, etc). These side-effects are present in younger people as well. For me, mere possibility of these side-effects outweigh the risks, which are negligible for MRNA vaccines.

That is not a crazy idea at all. I'd feel a lot safer if I could run some detection on my personal Downloads folder, and on my apt feeds.

The problem is, Linux antivirus does not really exist.

Granted, there is some software that will scan your files for known signatures - but those signatures are for Win/Mac malware, which solves a completely different problem.

SSN is used as taxpayer ID, that is why it is needed.

Now, there is absolutely no reason it could not be OTP'd (or uniquely derived for each account).

Except if it is awscli creds, then of course there is no MFA.

I would not say this is an alternative, more like yet another tool in a shed:

  1. Tunefs
  2. spacer.8gb
  3. lvm

> Slack being killed by Microsoft Teams

The rumors of Slack demise are greatly exaggerated. Mostly by Microsoft.

That was fun to read, thank you. There are obvious limitation to the approach, as stated by the author, but it was an interesting experiment.

Yes, but application layer "weapons" are very democratic. Everyone can have one.

This is Hacker News, not Facebook.

Arguably, the internet ends at the network level (TCP). Everything above it is just the payload. Application layer disruptions are not internet disruptions.

According to the link, it was restored around 11am PST (10pm MSK)

That was very different kind of disruption though, wasn't it?

Google drive unofficial client works pretty well for me on Linux.

California would rather use inmates as an almost-free resource to fight fires. Works even better than volunteer force.

Only this time, the inmates were already released because of COVID-19.

Except revenue, which they still very much need.

Google's internal sso (which I accidentally stumbled upon) collects other endpoint-specific parameters to compose the digital signature (like browser window size and monitor size).

This feels more effective and less intrusive. Not sure why ebay went this rather weird and creepy way instead.

Population density by zip code: http://zipatlas.com/us/zip-code-comparison/population-densit...

For reference, current population density in popular places:

- Population density threshold from the article: 175/sq mi

- Santa Clara county: 1,400/sq mi

- New York City: 27,016/sq mi

- San Francisco: 17,246/sq mi

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_United_States_cities_b...

I believe that suburban population density still can provide significant advantage in infection rates/population loss over urban areas with extreme population density, despite being 10x the threshold for the last pandemic.

I guess we'll get access to that data pretty soon.

1. Only in salt water

2. Only over time

3. And actually we still do not know.

Slightly disappointing.

Yep, it is Dunning-Kruger effect.

If rolling back works for a simple system, why wouldn't it work for a complex one?

Because one cannot step into the same river twice. Heraclitus would probably make a good engineering manager.
