Docker: harmful advice

When I was learning to drive, during the very first lesson, the instructor drove onto an intersection in reverse, and then said that you should never do that—ever. I immediately remembered this rule for life. Reading Grigory Oster's 'Harmful Advice' to children, you see how easily and effortlessly they grasp that this is not the way to do things.

Microsoft has seen signs of the end of the Intel processor shortage.

Half of all websites use HTTPS, and their numbers are steadily increasing. The protocol reduces the risk of traffic interception but does not eliminate the possibility of attacks. We will discuss some of these attacks—such as POODLE, BEAST, DROWN and others—and ways to protect against them in our material. / Flickr / Sven Graeme / CC BY-SA POODLE The POODLE attack was first discovered […]

Instant setup of familiar file associations

I automated the task of file associations, which is choosing the program that will open a file from Explorer/Finder. And I’m sharing it. First, the problem: files with needed extensions often don't open by default with anything, and if they do, it's usually something like iTunes. On Windows, necessary associations may even be lost during the installation (or uninstallation) of programs: you might uninstall GIMP, and the ICO files end up owned by […]
