Designing for high availability is at least as hard as it was. Doing this in the cloud is quite expensive...maybe not as expensive as rolling your own infrastructure, but a wake-up call when the CIO gets the bill.
Minus the part about the CIO being surprised at the bill (only a poor CIO wouldn't forecast the costs of running a product in any environment, including a public cloud), you hit the nail on the head as to why public cloud is so popular. It's not magic, but it IS cheaper for small/medium sized companies to take advantage of highly available services that they wouldn't otherwise be able to afford in their own DC's.
That said, you absolutely have to build your application on public cloud with failure in mind. I've been using AWS long enough that many years ago, instances would just disappear -- no longer accessible on the network, no longer present in the console/API...just like I never spun them up in the first place. We knew back then that the app had to be built for failures like that, but somewhere along the way hype took over and now people just assume the HA nature of AWS will protect them from bad design with SPOF's galore. That wasn't true before, isn't now, and likely never will be.
I'm not arguing that either product is better than iMessage, but since when has that been a guaranteed victory in the market? My point is that Apple recognizes that they can lose customers unless they start offering their services on Android in addition to iOS. Time will tell if my theory is right..
The competing product from Google and Facebook are both available on iOS and Android. Add to that the fact that Android owns so much more of the smart phone market than Apple.
Given both of those facts, Apple probably realizes that in order to keep their customers using this product instead jumping ship to something that is supported on both their platform and the most popular platform in the world, they have to offer their product(s) on that platform as well.
what friction? the DNS RFC has been around since 1987, its not some arcane rune stone of indecipherable glyphs. hell, you managed to get it to work in your panel.
I know nothing about this proposed solution beyond what the summary provided, and I share your anti-GoDaddy feeling in general.
There is, however, a problem that needs to be solved when transferring domains from one registrar to another. I've dealt with many different registrars over the years, and none of them do this the exact same way. Sometimes they don't support authorization codes, other times the destination can't process the codes properly, and the transfer request times out at the source. I'd love to see a better, more uniform and accepted way to handle this process...this may or may not be just that.
The correct response to this kind of abuse is to track down the lawyer who signed his name to the takedown notice (it's not valid takedown notice without it) and prosecute him for perjury (since he swore under penalty of perjury that it was accurate and that he represented the copyright holder)
A lawyer isn't required to "sign his name" on a DMCA takedown. The person claiming to be the copyright owner can (and usually does) do so.
If source control being inaccessible means you get the day off.... let's just say that ClearCase users would be extremely happy.
As someone who used to be a ClearCase/MultiSite admin in a former life, I have to say that if that system went fully offline for anything more than a few minutes, then your admin isn't doing it right.
the close vote — 285 to 281 — suggested the extent to which some European lawmakers are wary of alienating the United States.
This could be the case, but it also could be that they simply don't agree with the proposed resolution. I know Snowden is quite popular on Slashdot (and thus this possibility isn't), but the fact is that not everyone on the planet supports Snowden's decisions.
One other detection method not specifically called out is via email headers. Often times automated emails are sent from the same origin IP (not always, of course). Even if the email is routed through an email service before delivery, you can still see the origin in the full header.
But.. but now it has a CVE number and everything - so it must be scary
Written by somebody who clearly neither manages a large amount of hosts exposed to the Internet nor manages multiple environments in which there are some new hosts that are luckily patched along side other older hosts that have to run *slightly* older releases of distro's for one reason or another.
sorry to ask the obvious, but... So why is this taking more than a day to solve?
To be honest I haven't even tried. The camera is a nice to have for me, not a must have. Feel free to offer your suggestions and/or code to the project here:
For the first time in twenty years I'm seriously considering moving off Apple hardware, purely because of the current unreliability of the software.
I run Linux Mint on my MB Pro. The only complaint I have is that the camera is non-functional (there's active work on solving this in the community, though), but I've been quite happy with it otherwise.
Too bad Google removed the options to enable or disable SSL versions from Chrome some time ago, in an effort to further dumb down the browser. The options used to be under "advanced, but they aren't anymore. Not even available under about:flags.
Add --ssl-version-min=tls1 as a command line flag. Check here for the way to do that, depending on your OS:
Slashdot Mirror
GitLab, a startup that provides open source
Sorry, be specific then, it's in the title of the article for Gitter:
GitLab Acquires Software Chat Startup Gitter, Will Open-Source the Code
I think it's safe to say they've outgrown "startup".
Gitter launched in 2014 and was seeded in 2015...that's a startup in my book.

As a Dyn customer, who refuses to give even one lousy cent to Oracle, I'll be on the lookout for alternatives. Suggestions are welcome.

MySQL runs a thread or process as root? Why?
It doesn't. Read the hack, it's using a symlink attack on error.log to gain access to an arbitrary root owned file.

I'd be far more willing to install new apps if the permissions weren't so incredibly invasive.

Anyone else having strange issues with your Slashdot account?
I've had to re-login several times over the past few days on the same device.

50A for a dryer outlet isn't standard...does the car really require that, or was it a typo?

Yeah, nearly a quarter of the Internet runs it...what imbeciles!
