1. Your operating system is very old at nearly 7 years. Time flies bye and I laugh at the companies who are angry at the prospect of starting a WIndows 10 migration acting somehow that 7 just came out last year and is all so new etc.
You know what I find even funnier? The answers I get when I ask what the value prop of windows 10 is over windows 7.
On NT based versions of Windows I don't recall ever having problems with windows getting slower over time.
Sometimes DDE freaks out which can cause lag even entering text into the command line or number of programs open causes weird/slow redraw artifacts or a program/browser goes haywire and gobbles up all the GDI objects or something gets locked up in kernel space that causes zombies until reboot... but this is about the closest I've seen.
Known a number of people who have had problems with windows slowing over time. This behavior was always attributable to accumulation of malware and assorted crap... usually the accumulation just runs the system out of limited memory it had and starts swapping like crazy.
I expect any general purpose operating system if loaded under same conditions would exhibit similar properties.
Taking down games or apps which are clearly intended to be hateful, I'm not sure I even have an example probably because I've never gone looking for them... a confederate flag app that drops the n-bomb when you rub the stars the right way? dunno what an example would be. But OK, I can see that.
Sticks and stones. Freedom isn't about agreeing with nice people.
Are you kidding? You aren't forced to have anything to do with Google. It is their company, they can restrict whatever they want.
Do mobile app developers get to chose where their customers come from? Between the Apple store and Google you can say it is all free will and App store vendors can do what they want with their own software and infrastructure yet they have effectively become gatekeepers of execution and if they don't like what your doing you can expect an audience of crickets.
All I will say is enjoy your kings and monopolies people. If your not willing to defend the right of assholes to be themselves without censorship then don't be surprised when one day you too get fucked over by the same system.
This only works if the website gives the ISP their private key. When the relationship between the website and the ISP is short, the website would probably be reluctant to do that.
It doesn't have to be private key to their primary domain it could be a subdomain created specifically for this purpose.
But at least nobody else can get this information.
For example when it's unencrypted any passive attacker could see the extra header that was added.
Gremlins in the tubes are mostly red herrings. They exist and there is value in avoiding them yet most damage is inflicted by other means.
There is always a perfectly reasonable sounding justification people can dream up to justify a ban on just about anything.
Example: Cars kill tens of thousands a year. Car deaths are bad so ban Cars. While being completely one-sided at least this example provides an objective cost in lives lost due to vehicles.
The only thing worse than one-sided arguments is parading specific cases as "perfect examples" to justify a course of action regardless of relationship those cases have to larger reality... and of course all the while not considering the *cost* of action.
Every time there is an incident people are quick to "learn lessons" from individual incidents and push for legislation while interests of all are likely to be much better served if lawmakers made decisions based on rational objective criteria rather than legislation being the only answer to all knee jerk reactions to individual incidents.
Drones are politically easy to ban because they represent a niche hobby and many more people are afraid or annoyed of them. The people who have the most to lose have little voice and everyone else is indifferent.
Smoking causes far more fires and far more deaths than any possible swarm of consumer drones but outlawing smoking isn't going to happen because too many want to smoke.
See, this is exactly why I want a HTTPS web.
Lets think about this critically for a moment.
The mobile provider has a "relationship" with certain websites. When there is such collusion what is the basis for assuming SSL is at all helpful in this scenario?
They are already operating a MITM proxy to inject the headers. Is any of the following at all unreasonable or impractical?
1. Provider sees your going to a commercial relationship site by destination IP.
2. Commercial relationship site has already provided ISP with certificates to MITM itself since ah they have a "commercial relationship".
3. ISP injects the headers anyway behind your back by MITMing the SSL connection which you assumed was "secure" and private. Furthermore the presence of encryption makes it more difficult for anyone to figure out what is going on.
To be fair I'm also no fan of what is traditionally considered "LAMP". I personally believe PHP is more dangerous than it needs to be, MySQL is a poor choice relative to alternatives and harbor little regard even for Apache.
MongoDB is built for the cloud
No. Application design limits scalability of non-trivial systems not the data store.
MySQL's structure is confining (and overrated)
The only thing that sucks worse than a good relational schema design is everything else.
Disk space is cheap
JOINS JOINS JOINS... The reason for JOINs is saving disk space... mind blown.
Node.js simplifies the server layer
MEAN makes code isomorphic
General purpose languages are a dead end. The money you save not having to train people to use appropriate DSLs for the task at hand will be more than offset by increased cost of managing product lifecycle.
Node.js is superfast
ab is the most worthless (slow, single threaded, client CPU limited) tool for benchmarking web servers you can pick. Almost as worthless as benchmarking hello world applications bearing no resemblance to real world usage.
Depth matters
How does admitting to being behind other solutions translate into a reason for your approach?
I'm disappointed all around.. both with this article and what is allowed to pass for forward progress in the web stack space.
If it isn't a joke then what is it? A tragedy?
That's weird I always assumed IMAX was just a generic term for theatre with a big ass screen?
Let me put this another way... ask anyone what do you call a movie theatre with a big ass multi-story curved screen?
In various contexts people talk about IMAX cameras and film formats even NASA folks talking about the imax camera for curiosity
Who knows that IMAX is a brand? Perhaps they have already suffered severe dilution and currently deserve no trademark/brand projection of any kind.
Would I pay more for mobile phones to become an open platform where I can load whatever OS I want and swap out parts with reasonably standardizable interfaces? Hell yes I would.
While I have no opinion about "ethics" of tin and gold but there is nothing I hate more in this industry than insatiable trend of a few massive companies to continue to consolidate their power over everything.
A person at a meeting with only a smartphone could offload to Aura the process of recalculating a spreadsheet for a presentation, eliminating the need for a laptop
This is what I love about all the buzzword enriched nonsense. Use cases presented are not only completely worthless but so half baked and nonsensical that they are actually funny.
Hasanâ(TM)s plan, of course, anticipates a world with a vast number of Internet of Things devices, where lightbulbs, refrigerators, thermostats and other products will come with small processors and network connectivity.
Oh the dreams of marketeers...
By 2020, the world will have 26 billion such devices in operation, according to technology analyst firm Gartner.
More likely they spend $26 billion in advertising to get people to care about their worthless and annoying gimmicks and still fail.
Nope. Transfats are not required to make fortune cookies. Its basically margarine. That's transfat. Avoid partially hydrogenated oils and you're removing nearly any kind of transfat that is going to hit you.
Try finding fortune cookies without the words "partially hydrogenated" in the ingredients list on the shelves. Looked everywhere and gave up.
Selfishly I find myself cheering for the FDA ban because I want fortune cookies without trans fat.
why do you care? I haven't eaten trans fat in decades and I haven't even been trying.
What has transfat in it that you want?
Fortune cookies.
I'm waiting for the first voice recognition virus or voice bomb. Basically someone saying something clever in a video or song or other mass media that triggers millions of devices into making an expensive call or directing them to something with a 0-day payload.
And it should be the law: If you use the word `paradigm' without knowing what the dictionary says it means, you go to jail. No exceptions. -- David Jones
