Waze always has the latest accident and traffic reports. There are three main routes to my job. I always open it up in the morning and check travel times for each one (just press Routes button instead of Go). I have my preferred route, which is always fastest and shortest, but if Waze ever suggests one of the other two, I know I should listen. When I look into it, it’s usually some major accident or something affecting a lane of travel. The few times I ignored it I deeply regretted it. Makes the difference between a 60 minute commute vs a 90 min commute on a bad day.

It doesn’t force memory into cache directly. It determines values of bytes in memory by using the byte as a multiplier to an offset in memory. To determine byte value you can check all the offset combinations to see which was cached. Details in the meltdown paper.

Spam malware can scan IPs to find open SMTP ports to send spam so some ISPs and hosting providers lock down these ports to avoid getting their IPs blacklisted when a compromised host starts sending a bunch of spam through an open relay. I can see this being used to send email out from some restricted hosting providers.

I use the long form so others reading script that may not be familiar with set options gets a hint of what's going on.

At the top of each file with a brief comment I add:

  set -o nounset
  set -o pipefail

They also bank of the fact that you will use your plastic for more frivolous purchases since it's so convenient. Plus you think you're getting some cash back reward later, so you don't feel so bad about it. If you had to pay cash, you might not be wasting as much money.

Good luck with this. We tried to make changes yesterday to mitigate impact but AWS console was also affected. Was hesitant to make API calls for the changes since we werent sure they would complete successfully given all the services we found actually depended on S3 internally.
