One thing that's potentially different, at least for Facebook, is the network effect. It only takes a few friends to start using Facebook for event planning for people to start mis…

I don't think the author read even the Wikipedia page on Napoleon's invasion of Russia? Napoleon _did_ have reasons for attacking Russia, he _did_ prepare logistics. His motives, r…

I've seen this happen to a friend. Back in the noughties they built a home NAS similar to the one in the article, using fewer (smaller) drives. It was in RAID5 configuration. It la…

p.14: "Because 99.999% availability provides for less than 5 minutes of downtime per year, every operation performed to the system in production will need to be automated and teste…

We only hear about the successes, but I would like to know what took your business down. Why did it fail. Perhaps, by bringing this data together like accident investigation report…

"Start viewing willpower as a resource that can be depleted, and make sure you aren’t wasting it on trivial things." The concept of ego depletion is not as certain as it once was. …

Hey! What's the layman's 2-minute definition of a time crystal? The name makes it sound very sci-fi, like it might have the ability to travel through time (!)

I am equally suspicious of creating a government agency for tracking all citizens. However, I worry that your proposed solution has three significant caveats. Firstly, reliability …

The best thing I can suggest is regular, invisible backups. Ensure that it's very difficult for them to avoid doing the backups, and make sure that what ever holds the backups is a…

fail2ban and similar tools are standard, widely used, quick to configure, and very effective at removing noise. You won't need to hassle to configuration of any new or existing cli…

This is an interesting read, but it's worth digging down into the particulars. In particular: > Is adding obscurity the best use of my resources given the controls I have in place,…

I'm not sure your point about Java 7 is correct. The docs ( http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/securi... ) state that it is a SHA1PRNG, seeded with "true random"…

I can finally recover my account!

I actually really like the language, but there are several key points which stop me from using it in any production systems: First and foremost, the build system. Oh god, the build…

The link's not working for me, nor is any reference to SLOTH given on http://www.mitls.org/wsgi/tls-attacks .

I'm surprised that we're still using this as a bit of a hack in the future. In the project I'm working on, when we substantially optimise a section of code, we move the un-optimise…

It depends on your needs, and what you want to do. If you're a big Pythonista, perhaps Jython is worth a look in. Lisper? Look more towards Clojure. Need to be able to hire develop…
