Not strange. It's a Jewish name.
IIRC, rebuilds to GCC outputs are/were only recommended when the compiler "profile" changes. So basically whenever the ABI could no longer be guaranteed.
My (single) Homepod Mini reacts to voice commands from any room in my 86 square meter apartment. When the doors are open, I can talk to it basically through the wall, without raising my voice.
Do not underestimate modern audio technology.
Wdym "seen no one mention"? This case was so much "all over the news" it might as well have been a psyop.
And yet it was exactly one case.
Well yes. But just in case this wasn't clear: this is a crime, and you will get your money back in most cases. It's on the merchant to ensure a Direct Debit Mandate is actually valid.
I just don’t get this sentiment. How would you represent metrics as traces? You cannot. Even reconstructing traces from logs would be challenging at best. How would you get, say, Garbage Collector metrics from logs or traces? You cannot.
There is no magic bullet. Observability isn’t something you can just slap on and call it a day. While traces and logs might share superficial similarities, they are not the same. And metrics are something else altogether. Trying to somehow unify them would be a prime example of "wrong abstraction".
> “The next time something like this occurs again, please save me a trace.”
The building blocks for this exist. The observability platform must simply (haha) implement the pattern detectors and use them for sampling decisions.
When I visit an article on a popular German tech news website, it interrupts music playback on my iPad (the website takes audio focus). I bet they do something similar.
I think it's a little more nuanced. Most people
cannot fiddle (with PCs). They would have to learn to, first. Does this mean they deserve to have shit shoved down their throats? No. However, they are very vulnerable, and companies want to capitalize on this fact.
Hackers (whatever kind) are just one portion of the total populace. Others deserve genuinely good products, too. And maybe sometimes even a hacker wants to take a break. ;-)
Why wouldn't they be? No fiddling, super compact form factor, (usually) far superior energy efficiency, maybe phone apps, did I mention no fiddling?
Also, the form factor!
Oh yeah, that combination of fear and lack of knowledge probably plays a big part. I was once involved with creating a privacy policy for a B2B(!) web application. What a farce. In the end, the process was cut short (counsel too expensive and not nearly familiar enough with tech). The resulting document was at least 50 % stuff the app simply does not do.
If you join multiple/many tables, you could end up with a large volume of data. And yes, this is bit-for-bit duplication—on the network. The query result is (typically) a single table. This table will get serialized as-is, with all duplicate data.
I actually think the search feature rocks, because you have high fidelity OSM maps to query. Can't search for drinkable wells in Google Maps!
But then, it of course isn't Google Maps. It is likely to be more out of date and will not understand "natural" search queries as Google does. I believe it just takes some getting used to. There is overlap between the two, each service has its strengths and weaknesses, but also unique features.
Why not? On my home server, k3s (single-node master), sitting idle (no workload, no changes), has amassed as much CPU time as a full virtual machine running Home Assistant: 17.75 hours in 106 hours of uptime.
All those abstractions and cluster features do not come for free.
To each their own, of course, but: If you're within a 1-hour walking or cycling radius (and you have access to showers at your destination), this is no problem at all. Plus, the mental and physical health benefits are simply incredible.
Man if only there was a solution to this. It's almost as if we could design our environment to minimize this (bike- and pedestrian-friendly routes) and then deal with the aftermath if it happens anyway (showers).
I do not consider employers that do not offer showers.
It's great. It's complicated. I have a MacBook Pro Late 2013 – very old. NixOS runs totally great! Even the proprietary hardware just works, with the
nixos-hardware channel. Battery life is awesome, 4 hours of office work.
There is a snag however: Drivers for the built-in Broadcom Wi-Fi card are unmaintained and bug-ridden. Replacements do not exist either. The driver doesn't work most of the time nowadays and I have to rely on a USB Wi-Fi adapter that is sooo slow.
Maybe more recent Wi-Fi chipsets in Intel Macs are better off. Or maybe you don't need Wi-Fi!
Very cool. The download progress bar is broken though, it receives values 0-1 but the max is set to 300.
Hetzner is almost exclusively offering consumer-grade hardware.
Arguably, this situation is already broken right now. If an organization can't be bothered to use their tools (Sharepoint and the wider O365 ecosystem) correctly, it's entirely on them.
That's what I feel. Whenever I see someone writing something to the effect of “LLMs will replace X” (where X could be literally anything including software developers) I get an intense urge to write something against it. Not something nice, mind you.
I also find takes from the anti-LLM to be exceedingly dumb at times. Oh this text has this and that, it must have been written by LLM and thus is not worth even considering.
Unfortunately, they often lack what we gained over the last decades. Namely navigating with a mouse and being self-explanatory and same-y.
The latter is mostly because certain GUI patterns simply cannot be implemented with a TUI.
And then everyone has their own idea of what keyboard shortcuts should be like. Yuck
Extremely unlikely. Automating Office (the desktop application suite) simply does not scale. It's not needed, either. Libraries exist that can extract information from Office documents (both legacy and OOXML) much faster. Many(!) orders of magnitude faster, in fact.
AI is entirely unrelated. This is simply yet another push to get more SaaS subscribers.
> Frontend projects are very repetitive.
I’m sorry, what? This is such a shit take, I don’t even know where to start. What’s repetitive about them? That all UIs contain buttons or what?
If this is something that people actually believe, I can understand why UX has went to shit and then got even worse since the 90s.
Yes, it can be sniffed. It will at least use transport encryption, like TLS. For everything, yes. So you'll only get encrypted data you cannot read. You could attempt a Man-in-the-middle attack on this connection. Unless the app is badly made, this will not succeed.
And then, even if you could look inside, there's another type of asymmetric cryptography going on: the remote attestation itself. Again, if properly designed and possibly backed by a hardware security chip, it cannot be spoofed. This isn't something trivial like a shared secret in an HTTP header.
GP suggests that it's fine if it's not forbidden yet. My (sarcastic) suggestion is that it is not, because corporations never act in good faith.
Dunno, maybe strive to release no pollutants at all? Then we wouldn't need all the pesky big government overreach.
