The opening of a new datacenter in a new geographical zone requires us to deploy a new VAC (anti-DDoS system) infrastructure. VAC works under a simple principal that permits the “vacuuming” of incoming traffic in the event of a DDoS attack.

A couple of cases can occur:

The user is in close proximity of the datacenter, in this case we locally vacuum traffic at the level of the datacenter (for example, in Sin…

@JourneymanGeek i watch arrow and flash but LoT was awful last season. too many characters all trying to be the top billing

they have no more Arthur Darvill to carry the show in season 2..

although i do think he has now been typecast as a time traveller

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi LOT is really a heist film

actually I also miss captain cold

Burgi

agreed

his accent was brilliant

Journeyman Geek

... I goofed

I needed something that would track heart rate

I got a activity tracker that didn't

Burgi

its easy to do

Journeyman Geek

I'm still not going to hear the end of it

Burgi

8:55 AM

some of the packaging is quite misleading

Journeyman Geek

Well I got it online

Burgi

my dad got the crane connect thing

and it talks about monitoring heart rate

but that is a different model

Journeyman Geek

Kinda tempted to just pass him my smartwatch actually

but my notifications :(

I specifically need the heart rate monitoring ;p

Burgi

not getting enough walkies?

Journeyman Geek

dad's excercise regime basically says not to go more than a certain amount over resting heart rate

Burgi

yup

He did have a quadruple bypass

djsmiley2k

hmmm

do they reccomend you actually have something like that?

it'd make me stress about doing too much, causing it to raise more...

and not just 'Don't do anything strenious that gets you out of breath'

is that where they swap the pipes to the heart with plastic?

Journeyman Geek

Not plastic

they replace them with veins from your legs

Burgi

ah ok

how do they re-link the veins in your leg after they have taken out a section?

is it like cabling, you just pull it and it is magically longer than you originally thought?

How Do Software Developers in New York, San Francisco, London and Bangalore Differ?

David Robinson on November 30, 2016

When I tell someone Stack Overflow is based in New York City, they're often surprised: many people assume it's in San Francisco. (I've even seen job applications with "I'm in New York, but willing to relocate to San Francisco" in the cover letter.) San Francisco is a safe guess of where an American tech company might be located: it's in the heart of Silicon Valley, near the headquarters of tech giants such as Apple, Google, and Facebook. But New York has a rich startup ecosystem as well- and it's a very different world from San Francisco, with developers who use different languages and technologies.

was india a unified country before british occupation?

@Burgi It wasn't. But you didn't unify it...

Eh, I really don't feel like talking about this stuff

Maybe you did

But you were still assholes to us.

Eh, India in its current form did not exist before colonialism.

What is more surprising is we did not balkanise after the British left.

you sort of did...

No, not like that.

pakistan and Bangladesh?

A day later?

and bangladesh was part of pakistan

Bangladesh split from Pakistan, and Pakistan was not part of the post-British India.

Journeyman Geek

10:57 AM

In fact, pakistan was independant a day earlier no?

jokerdino

Yeah

Journeyman Geek

The geopolitics, and basic politics behind that's complex

and tbh, was a bit of a messup

jokerdino

I mean like there are so many different cultures and languages in India that it is surprising we are together for this long.

are there big regional divisions in india that would have lead to a balkanisation type fracturing?

Journeyman Geek

@Burgi they might not like the current government

> The Supreme Court's decision to consider this PIL followed after a wheelchair-bound man was assaulted by a couple at a cinema hall in Panaji for not standing up during the rendition of the anthem.

what?

Bob

@Burgi for some reason india is pulling a lot of newsworthy shit recently

Rahul2001

YEs

jokerdino

The history of the case is that once upon a time, a small bit of the national anthem was used in a movie and one person stood up in respect but no one else stood up and he was kicked out for blocking others from watching the movie and so he filed a case against all those unpatriotic people who couldn't bother standing up.

Bob

@jokerdino not sure if serious

but that's hilarious(ly sad)

Rahul2001

11:12 AM

@JourneymanGeek What happened is that some cinemas made it compulsory for themselves. And then the SC made it compulsory for eveyone

@jokerdino actually, what's up with that?

Bob

(more relatedly we did sing the anthem in school assemblies)

DavidPostill

We had to say the Lord's Prayer. I suspect that doesn't happen any more ...

Bob

@DavidPostill Eh. If that's even true, I'm pretty sure that's in the context of smuggling. Quarantine laws here are rather strict.

DavidPostill

Western Australia’s powerful spud regular, the Potato Marketing Corporation — which is the last of its kind in Australia — has the power to stop and search any vehicle suspected of carrying more than 50kg of potatoes. It’s enshrined in a law from 1946.

But good news for fans of the starchy crop: Premier Colin Barnett says he will abolish the archaic Potato Marketing Corporation if he survives the next state election next year.

How do you call that feature that allows you to pair speakers together through Bluetooth?

There is a term daisy-chaining used when pairing physically with 3.5mm though.

Journeyman Geek

witchcraft

You don't typically daisy chain speakers

Boris_yo

Some do have 3.5mm that an serve as input and output. iHOME has.

Okay so those that do not they can still receive audio through 3.5mm input. If we have 2 speakers can we use 3.5mm split cable to turn 1-channel audio into 2-channel?

And will quality depend on raw material used in cable?

Hennes

Daisychaning is the term I would use. Simple, understandable. it just works.

@djsmiley2k So it does not make it stereo? Still mono but enhanced? I tried that and it sounded like stereo with louder and richer sound.

@JourneymanGeek Splitting is when input is from original source. Daisy-chaining is when there is indirect connection to original source.
