Strongly agree. A guide for dead simple setups would be incredibly useful (e.g. gsuite as idp, oauth for a single app).

It took me a few days to get that basic setup working, and a few days more to improve it. But once it was up, it was rock solid.

Keycloak might seem a little daunting to start with, but is basically glue between your idp (ldap) and whatever apps need to authenticate.

Speed of light in glass is about 2/3c. Internet routing does not follow great circle routes either, so add an extra 20% fudge factor for that.

From experience, voice calls sometimes get extra latency added in for no good reason whatsoever. Calling again usually resolves the issue.

So while there's a bit more delay, despite being noticeable it doesn't change how you talk on the phone.

He was the ringleader of an illegal anti-poaching agreement between tech companies that kept worker salaries down.

He's the root cause of much of what is broken with modern tech hiring. Bill gates is responsible for the other half (trick questions, etc)

The original article smelled wrong when they claimed to have broken AES. Thankfully, Bruce Schneier is far more authoritative than I ever will be and gives a short and succinct list of links to debunkings of this.

Anything using Blind as a "verified industry source" is going to be skewed to the type of person who uses Blind. Beyond that, it's low sample size, and there are suspiciously round fractions for some of the larger companies. Worse, because Blind is blind - this doesn't represent current employees, but merely people who worked at some point in the past at those companies.

Not saying it's not good - just saying not to get overly excited over a badly done survey

TCP Selective Ack is very much a thing, but it does take extra memory so lots of TCP stacks exclude it or disable it by default.

TCP was never designed with wifi in mind. TCP retransmission was only ever meant to handle drops due to congestion, not lossy links.

Tmux is a wonderful complement to mosh. Together you get persistence even when your local client loses power (speaking from experience)

I worked with mosh for years to connect to servers on other continents. It was impossible to work otherwise. It only has two small warts: forwarding, and jump hosts.

The second is fixable/ish with an overlay network, but that isn't always an option if you don't control the network. I tried to solve this with socat but wasn't able to configure it correctly - something about the socket reuse flag was very unhappy.

Intel, whose investment will be over five years, will pay a corporate tax rate of 7.5% instead of 5% previously. The normal tax rate is 23%, but under Israel's law to encourage investment in development areas, companies receive large benefits.

Usually these types of grants are never a good investment but the increased corporate tax rate alone covers a third of the grant (9b yearly taxable revenue at 2.5% over 5 years comes out to 1.125b).
