The health care system is the most expensive in the world, while not producing the best life expectancy. It is in fact very much in line with Poland, except if you have $20k/yr in …

I couldn't disagree more. I personally witnessed Vint give valuable advice to managers like me, often in difficult cases. It sounds banal but often in a large corp you know what yo…

Who is "we" and "them"? Don't you find it ironic, such a comment on a thread about protesting a regime which tries to control who does what?

The point is - while all of these systems are fuzzy at the edges, that is not a bug. Letting people reside in a few countries at the same time, and to pick a tax residency like a n…

I'm curious how you managed to find nothing on lcamtuf. He's one of the most famous Polish hackers from the 90s, then one the best security researchers Google had. Even if you live…

Changing network interfaces breaks connections and causes a new handshake. Browser session works at a different layer and doesn't prevent that. QUIC actually lets you migrate betwe…

This. There are also clients that with a little config will let cache the support level per-host, and even provide a list of hosts that the initial request should race TCP and QUIC…

My theory is that, as an industry, we have almost completely lost (or maybe dilluted?) the ability to architect complex systems. Everything is 90% third-party libraries and microse…

You might like Withings Steel HR. It easily lasts a month on a single charge. Conversly, I now have their more premium Scanwatch, and I feel the UX regressed, while the added funct…
