dewiz··on JEP 335: Deprecate the Nashorn JavaScript Engine
I agree, but please fix HN too, not mobile friendly at all
dewiz··on ServiceFabric: a distributed platform for building microservices in the cloud
MS is going where developers are, and outside MS there is no community around SF. Hired one of K8S founders, built new products around k8s, advocates docker left and right at conferences, these are clear signals that the tech doesn’t have a future
dewiz··on ServiceFabric: a distributed platform for building microservices in the cloud
SF has been opensourced very late though [1], to get some attention and trying to survive. Legitimate but very different from being an open source project. The cross-platform support is very weak [2][3], far from K8S, Mesos and Swarm developer friendliness.

dewiz··on Xcode 10 is now integrated with GitLab
Microsoft and Apple in the news about Git*. I’m waiting for Google and Amazon to announce something too.
dewiz··on HTTP headers we don't want
for instance, just found today that GitHub code reviews require the Referer header to allow PR comments. Without the Referer header, GH returns `422 Unprocessable Entity`
dewiz··on HTTP headers we don't want
Client HTTP header I don't want:

  * referer
  * user-agent
Happy to be wrong, but these shouldn't be mandatory to browse the web, which they kind of are.
dewiz··on I Got Catfished by a Candidate
I was hoping to find out from the story why this catfish lied in the first place. If they passed the interview so well they must be someway good.
dewiz··on Ask HN: Amazon software engineers, how is the work culture now?
Check this out https://www.teamblind.com/article/Amazon---is-it-really-that...

and more topics on the same site

dewiz··on Google Duplex will call salons, restaurants, and pretend to be human for you
A bot calling for you and a bot answering for salons/restaurant. Both pretending to be human. It’s like having a client/server application speaking English with an accent, without versioning, schema nor content type. What could go wrong.
dewiz··on iOS 11.4 to Disable USB Port After 7 Days: What It Means for Mobile Forensics
What if we could?
dewiz··on You know how HTTP GET requests are meant to be idempotent?
GET requests should have no side effects. In other words NOOP is idempotent
dewiz··on Amazon to increase fee of prime from $99 to $119 in U.S
Anyone knows if movies bought on Amazon streaming video require a subscription to be watched, eg on Roku and similar apps? I’m thinking of deleting Prime and wonder what will happen to movies I bought on Amazon platform
dewiz··on Now Is the Perfect Time for an RSS Renaissance
Readers don’t need/want analytics though, so this is a friction between content accessibility and businesses tracking usage
dewiz··on Google's Project Zero exposes unpatched Windows 10 lockdown bypass
Google, you have 90 days to stop tracking web users, then Windows will start asking desktop users if they would like to block tracking by filtering DNS requests
dewiz··on Azure Functions – Significant Improvements in HTTP Trigger Scaling
yes people use Azure to host all sort of services, OSes, programming languages etc. Companies run Microsoft stuff on Google cloud and AWS too, surprising eh?
dewiz··on China’s Censors Ban Winnie the Pooh and the Letter ‘N’ After Xi’s Power Grab
Amazo lost 16% of its brand. Nothing to worry for Microsoft Apple Facebook Google Uber, yet
dewiz··on Words for “yes” in Romance languages
Oc => Ok
dewiz··on Firefox 59 to strip path information from referrer values for 3rd parties
For the scope of requesting a document, there is no need of referrer nor useragent.

A lot of features/apps/websites have been built around the assumption that this information is sent, but it would be nice to start dropping it by default.

dewiz··on Cloud companies consider Intel rivals after security flaws found
If you could design your own processors to run your only code and processing your only input, I’m pretty sure it would be 10x to 100x faster
dewiz··on Turning brain signals into useful information
I hope that before the end of my career I get to write code with just my thoughts. Add a method here, a loop there, refactor this block out with, etc.
dewiz··on Firefox 57 delays requests to tracking domains
I’d prefer to be paid to be tracked. Eg the browser should send my wallet address as a signed header, and upon payment verification the delay (or any other penalty) lifted for 60 minutes
dewiz··on Microsoft forced users to install a password manager with a critical flaw
Enpass, it's well integrated into browser and doesn't force to trust some random cloud
dewiz··on iMac Pro Available Now
> you can connect a second screen the TB ports do support Thunderbolt displays and DisplayPort.

OP meant something different, which I agree with:

> If you want to run 2 screens, then they won’t match.

when working with multiple monitors most prefer having equal sized/looking ones

dewiz··on Coinbase down for maintenance
how many things can go wrong when the service is overloaded... looks like Coinbase doesn't know what stress testing or monitoring is.

* ID verification by either webcam or id pic upload fails, and eventually one reaches the daily quota, locking the feature for 24 hours (seems fair though)

* removing and re-adding bank accounts fails, the site says the account is already linked and it shows some ghost duplicates (i.e. the same bank account multiple times with different statuses)

* bank account verification fails, the site says the small amounts deposited don't match

* some buying operations fails due to API timeouts when collecting money from linked bank accounts

dewiz··on Bitcoin Exchanges Are Buckling While the Price Surges Past 16,000
is it possible to buy and sell bc, as quickly as one buy and sell stocks (aka speculating)? last time I checked there were ways but it would take some user verification process to buy, and selling seemed to be very well hidden.
dewiz··on Multi platform/OS/browser password manager
the webextension contains an `encrypt.js` file with 2 hardcoded strings ("iqHBpS3qbu6u7qui" and "2TjfWW2jbey5ppmi"), I wonder what they are. It also truncates something to 16 chars, it seems odd (I'm not an expert though)
dewiz··on The Missing 11th of the Month (2015)
I wonder how Unix and Linux commands syntax would look like if they were developed with dvorak keyboards
dewiz··on How Firefox Got Fast Again
This story would deserve a blog post of its own. Google might not realize it, but the ease of being tracked by them is also a risk in work place.
dewiz··on HTTP 103 – An HTTP Status Code for Indicating Hints
Difference being is that one could inject 103 <download Y> for any resource, not just web pages, amplifying the outgoing traffic. Plus content doesn't need to be modified. It would be nice (I haven't read the specs) if 103 was restricted to HTTPS only for example.
dewiz··on HTTP 103 – An HTTP Status Code for Indicating Hints
Could be used as a DDOS vector, while you're downloading X your browser will be sending requests to Y
