Over an hour into the outage, still no word at all from Google on the status page apart from "We're investigating"

I guess the point is you might already own a PC, and you could use that for developing Android apps, for example. But if you also want to use Xcode and develop iOS apps as well then you have to buy a Mac.
EthanV2 | 7 years ago | on: Deliveroo users are getting defrauded
It's possible this has already been reported to the police, but we all know they don;t tend to move to fast on things like this, and it's likely Deliveroo doesn't want to risk hurting it's own reputation by shutting out restaurants it suspects are taking part in this scam without enough solid proof that they are definitely in on it

By the sounds of it this is a simple credential reuse attack (it's even states as such in the article) so I really don't see where these accusations of a "data breach", and "encryption, which appears not to have been in place” come from. If these fraudulent transactions are the result of credential reuse I really don't see the GDPR violation here.

Pretty neat but it seems the letters do not line up correctly. In such a small space any slight misalignment is really obvious.
I noticed the <Margin on the left is 16px, on the right is 17px. Similarly from the top is 21px and the bottom is 20px. It makes it look really off (to me).

Just so I'm understanding the implications of this correctly, my company uses certs issued by Thawte. Would these certs be affected by this move?

I probably should have read a little further in, thanks for the correction!

It's great to see companies doing more to help charitable causes, but considering the price difference ($749 vs $649 for the base iPhone) I'd like to know exactly how much of that extra $100 goes to the supported charities...
EthanV2 | 9 years ago | on: GPU-Oriented PCIe Expansion Cluster
I suppose if you're just working on a data set that's already stored in memory on the GPU(s) the initial work involved in getting that data to the card would be impacted but everything after that benefits from having an absurd amount of computing power
EthanV2 | 9 years ago | on: GPU-Oriented PCIe Expansion Cluster
I'm not as clued up as I used to be about this stuff, but wouldn't this have a pretty serious impact on the performance of the individual cards? Seems like splitting 4 16x cards off one 4x bus would limit the available bandwidth somewhat.
EthanV2 | 9 years ago | on: Dependency graphs of Go web frameworks
It would be interesting to see this kind of graph created for other languages like Python, Node.js, etc. to see how they all compare. It would be neat to visualise which language/framework has the worst case of dependency hell
Edit: Spelling

I find it interesting that they list ad blockers under "largely unused, resource hogging" features. I'm pretty sure that preventing countless JavaScript files, images and (admittedly very rare) flash files from loading and bogging down the rendering engine improves browser performance?
Other than that I really like the idea of this browser, and it looks decent to boot! I'll definitely have to check it out when I get home.

One way might be to decrease the ridiculous amount of security theater they employ.
EthanV2 | 11 years ago | on: Tor exit node operator prosecuted in Austria
Does this mean that Austrian ISPs can be prosecuted if their customers use their connections to transmit "content of an illegal nature"? Surely the ISP knows that some of their customers could use their services for illicit purposes, meaning they're "guilty of complicity" themselves.
