Re:Apple Maps vs. Google Maps vs. Waze on Tuesday February 20, 2018 @09:33PM (#16426396)
Waze always has the latest accident and traffic reports. There are three main routes to my job. I always open it up in the morning and check travel times for each one (just press Routes button instead of Go). I have my preferred route, which is always fastest and shortest, but if Waze ever suggests one of the other two, I know I should listen. When I look into it, it’s usually some major accident or something affecting a lane of travel. The few times I ignored it I deeply regretted it. Makes the difference between a 60 minute commute vs a 90 min commute on a bad day.
Re:AWS Lambda Releases Go Support on Monday January 15, 2018 @07:15PM (#16154692)
This is very exciting. I've been waiting for Go support for a long time now. Thanks to the AWS Lambda team!
Re:Meltdown Proof-of-Concept on Tuesday January 09, 2018 @01:07PM (#16108239)
It doesn’t force memory into cache directly. It determines values of bytes in memory by using the byte as a multiplier to an offset in memory. To determine byte value you can check all the offset combinations to see which was cached. Details in the meltdown paper.

CNBC charts aren’t too bad. Lots of other crap on the site though.
Re:Why I Stopped Using Multiple Monitors on Thursday August 31, 2017 @02:08PM (#15142409)
I also switched from two monitors to one a few months ago. Main reason was I wanted to eventually switch to a standing desk and one monitor was going to make that easier. Also, when I work remote I can just use my laptop's screen and not be used to that second monitor.
Have you considered using AWS KMS?
Much less secure though.

Re:Mailit: A Tiny Drop-In REST API to Send Emails on Tuesday August 01, 2017 @08:33AM (#14899950)
Spam malware can scan IPs to find open SMTP ports to send spam so some ISPs and hosting providers lock down these ports to avoid getting their IPs blacklisted when a compromised host starts sending a bunch of spam through an open relay. I can see this being used to send email out from some restricted hosting providers.
Re:Microsoft Paint to be killed off after 32 years on Monday July 24, 2017 @03:21PM (#14841746)
Although fairly basic, with the Preview app you can do some minor editing, annotating, drawing, cropping, resizing, etc.
For an OSS business application, Rundeck (http://rundeck.org/) is very polished and has a clean architecture. The concepts for setting up jobs, schedules, ACLs, etc, is clearly thought out and flexible.

I use the long form so others reading script that may not be familiar with set options gets a hint of what's going on.

At the top of each file with a brief comment I add:

  set -o errexit
  set -o nounset

They also bank of the fact that you will use your plastic for more frivolous purchases since it's so convenient. Plus you think you're getting some cash back reward later, so you don't feel so bad about it. If you had to pay cash, you might not be wasting as much money.
Re:Summary of the Amazon S3 Service Disruption on Thursday March 02, 2017 @04:20PM (#13778328)
Good luck with this. We tried to make changes yesterday to mitigate impact but AWS console was also affected. Was hesitant to make API calls for the changes since we werent sure they would complete successfully given all the services we found actually depended on S3 internally.
Re:Has There Been a Nuclear Incident in the Arctic? on Monday February 20, 2017 @01:07AM (#13684739)
Nuclear reactor on the sub, yes. Nuclear warhead, no, unless there was a detonation.
