If an average person were laid off today and couldn't find a job for 1-2 months, would they go bankrupt? I think most people would be able to survive on their savings for a month or two. Companies should also be held to the same standard. They should have enough savings to survive this sort of disruption, just like a person would.
So yeah, if your company can't survive a month without revenue, it is a crappier than average business.

With eBPF, hot-patching servers will take a very short time to start the extensive downtime, plus the consequent reboot of 20,000 servers.

You forgot the most important part of the comment that the FCC really wants to hear from the public : why?

Even if hydrogen is the future, Toyota must realize that the present is battery electric. They can continue research on future tech while they rise to the market demands in the present.

Apple can only stand up to the US government when it comes to privacy and security. They will refuse to unlock a terrorist's iphone when FBI requests it. They can do this because of the fundamental liberty everybody is granted in the US to everybody. The real test of character is how a company reacts to an authoritarian regime like China. That's what reveals the true nature.
And Apple has completely shit the bed in this regard. Google has handled it so much more beautifully.

Re:Want 1.5TB of RAM in Your PC? It Will Cost You
on Sunday September 08, 2019 @01:09PM (#20911766)
In my experience windows utilizes ram much better. It will cache programs and data at times it anticipates you will use them. For example it will cache outlook at 9 am in the morning because that's the time I check my email.
At all times only a very small fraction of my ram is free.

If you have a Microsoft or Logitech mouse you can map a button to a macro that types your password. It works well with rdp password fields.

I think you've used only bad devices so you've had a bad experience. Use a good pair of Bluetooth headphones like Sony WH1000 or Bose Qc35 along with a good phone like Galaxy S10. It's perfect. No cut outs, amazing quality, insane range.

If you, as the programmer, would prefer not to know and remember machine specific details, you can use rust or c++ easily. Just don't think you will always get the best performance possible for your hardware. And I think that is justified and reasonable.

It's only my personal opinion, but I don't care at all about tracking. They can track me all they like. I block ads because they make my browsing slow, cause my CPU to turbo boost, interrupt my browsing, clutter the web pages excessively. I suspect a huge majority of that 26% is similar to me in this.

I read the whole piece and wanted to look at the interfaces of the library but couldn't find a C implementation. I don't know where to look for the interface in rust or go. I think the most basic requirement for a networking library is a working C/C++ implementation.

Re:When Employees Use Software That IT Hasn’t Approved

In our company people just started using free slack en mass, boycotting the horrible IT approved Skype for business. When it was discovered that thousands of employees were using slack, the CTO had to step in and tell IT to fuck off, and started paying for the full version.
