Worth noting, this doesn't affect domain.name, thus 2nd level domains. I was actually unaware you could directly register a 3rd level domain... Got my .name in the sunrise phase of .name, though it later rendered obsolete by name change on marriage (but still got it).

I love the fact that the author "wrote" this page with massive CSS framework (tailwind) and some sort of Javascript framework, with a bundler and obfuscator - instead of a plain, simple HTML page. Well played! :-)

Thanks for the link to this awesome page!

This is less an example of why serverless was bad but rather an example where using non-suitable services for tasks they were not meant for.

In this case they were using AWS Step functions that are known to be expensive ($0.025 per 1,000 state transitions) and they wrote: > Our service performed multiple state transitions for every second of the stream

Secondly, they were using large amounts of S3 requests to temporarily store and download each video frame which became a cost factor.

They had a hammer - and every problem looked like a nail. In my experience this happens to every developer at a certain stage when he/she gets in touch with a new technology; it doesn't mean that the tech itself is bad - it depends on the scenario, though.

Having a good keyboard is important (not only for ergonomics, but also for efficiency) in our business. But I find I'm having difficulty when temporarily switching from US to DE keyboard layout, or when using a mac (vs linux) - so what would using a completely custom keyboard do to my general computer user ability?

This is why I never considered buying one of these...

> Let's say we have it every day at 9:30 and I get stuck at 11:00. Does anyone really expect me to wait almost a whole day to get help, or should I just go talk to someone about it right away like a normal adult would?

The standup would be the safety net when people don't see that they're stuck, know what to do and are afraid to ask / hands down in smth they just don't see the obvious.

Uncovering this in a standup should prevent them from "wasting time" even longer.

I have rarely seen this in my experience so far; either people aren't as dumb as people believe or they know what to report to not fall into this "let me take over here, you seem to have messed up" category.

By being able to modify executable files on the webserver, an attacker can add a backdoor through a security hole quite easily. Without, he could just make use of the security hole as of itself.

> A comprehensively secure automatic update system would have process isolation between the normal web interface and the updater (and the latter would run as a different, more privileged user). However, not everyone can do that. (Shared hosting, etc.)

That's right, and I also think the popularity stems from the simplicity and the fact that it existed when the whole blog thing took off.

There's actually the option to provide your FTP credentials in the admin console and have wordpress update itself over an FTP connection. It is process separation, then, but OTOH potentially exposes your webspace credentials to an attacker. :-)

So, what could it be that makes iPhones "react" with helium? Helium is an inert gas and shouldn't really chemically react with anything in there.

Any clues why such an environment doesn't make Android phones behave in such a way?

Plus, the press center tower now serves several companies as offices (with a very nice view from the top onto the Olympic park with the stadium).

This is an unsolved problem; some people work around it by managing multiple twitter accounts, one for each "channel". It doesn't scale by topics, though.

OTOH if I have to think about which channel / user I tweet to, I think people would tweet less. A bit of noise is ok, I guess.

There's a fork called homeshick which is a plain-bash rewrite of homesick, so it doesn't have the ruby dependencies (for those who care about that). There might be few differences, though.
