It works for me
Why didn't they release it in a better format, like CSV? We could then easily turn it into a C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file.

Here is the patch for the faulty epub.css: https://gist.github.com/luckylittle/9a6d99def44a48796fbcb147...

Actually the epub is so badly formatted, that Google Play Books does not even process it and fails. When i run it through epubchecker/Calibre, it shows 215 errors. Probably something you want to look at.
Github, or it didn't happen

I wonder if it would be better to get infected now (on purpose), while hospitals are not under heavy load yet. You probably have higher chance of survival now, comparing to many weeks from now. Also the virus might mutate and become more deadly, so having antibodies now would also help down the line.
Re:Why doesn’t anyone weep for Docker? on Friday September 06, 2019 @02:55AM (#20893619)
I also feel sorry for Docker, in a way. Was it their arrogance, or just incompetence?

The came up with this amazing tool, that lot of companies started using, but they did not have a business strategy on how to make money in a long term. They tried to keep up (Docker Swarm, Docker Hub Premium, Tutum, Moby, Docker Community vs Docker Enterprise etc). But at the end they just seem like they don't really know how to approach it.

It's bit of a chicken-and-egg problem: You will not easily get security job, because you don't have experience and you don't have experience, because you don't work at security. The same goes for e.g. CISSP - they require work experience, but lot's of jobs require CISSP. Go figure.

Having a solid profile - either on Github or Blog and entry-level certification could be a good start. Participation in events like CFG or other hackathons would also help open some doors.

I don't work at security myself, but based on what i've seen, having operational experience will also gain you more respect.

Good luck my friend.

Nicely packaged notes, i will clone this to my archive, thanks for sharing ;-)
Re:Pi-Hole – A black hole for Internet advertisements on Tuesday February 26, 2019 @11:11PM (#19260806)
Me too, i've been using it in combination with CloudFlareD (DNS over HTTPS daemon) and it works like a charm. Except when my ISP changes my public IP and CloudFlareD hangs so i have to restart the service. There is a bug for it, but the Pi-Hole itself works really well.
How nice, you wake up in the morning and people from other countries are messaging you about this and it's nowhere in the news here. Smells fishy.

Agree, this is still quite expensive.
Re:GoAWK: an AWK interpreter written in Go on Saturday November 17, 2018 @11:47PM (#18478925)
I am hoping one day there is going to be an operating system, where every single tool is written in Go and everything runs in containers! Well done!
Re:Transitioning Google Cloud leadership after three great years on Saturday November 17, 2018 @02:29AM (#18474452)
I agree. He is an old dinosaur who has no idea about cloud. I don't know what was Google thinking???

As mentioned above, this is a huge red flag for me.

China is punishing Google for not making the censored search engine?
Re:HashiCorp has raised $100 million in Series D funding on Friday November 02, 2018 @08:23AM (#18362464)
I love Hashicorp products and i personally used most of them throughout my career, so big congratulations. The only thing i was always wondering is how are you planning to make money? It feels a bit like Docker - great technology, supported by big fundings, but the business side of things is very immature...
Me neither. If you own a property, you should be able to do whatever you want with it. The argument, that it's bringing up prices is false - AirBnB, same as Uber, exist because the prices were already high. If the prices were normal (especially here in Australia), these types of services would not profit. Think about a scenario when young couple with kids is paying so much for mortgage/rent so if they need to go overseas for a few months, they don't really have any other choice than list it on AirBnB to cover portion of the cost.
Re:Notable is closing its doors on Saturday October 27, 2018 @12:51AM (#18314410)
Although it was a good service (especially the browser extensions), this market is saturated with similar apps and smaller players will have to come up with something revolutionary to survive
Re:AI-Generated Rock Music: The Making Of on Friday October 26, 2018 @11:21PM (#18314185)
I do too, it is probably because these famous bands were used in the learning dataset.

On a different note - i remember that 10 years ago, one big recording company already had algorithm that was able to tell if the song is going to be a global hit or not with 100% accuracy. Pretty impressive!
