Supposedly it tones down it's activity while a user is logged in and waits for the machine to go idle. Another reason to have centralized performance monitoring.
I wonder if this will improve emulation compatibility?
Are they going to block binary files from being transferred? Maybe block images? It's an impossible task if someone really knows what they are doing.
What are they going to do ban math? That's all encryption is. Just because you block a few services isn't going to prevent anything from being encrypted. I can do end-to-end with just a couple of certificates. Are they going to ban PGP or TLS next? Is everyone going to have to install a Danish root cert, so the gov't can spy on everything?
Hubris. Clearly they have no form of internal testing for updates because this should have been caught immediately.
When it comes to the internet... I'd prefer it to stay like the wild west. Least amount of regulation beyond something like net neutrality. People forget that the reason we have all of these "free" services is because of ads and that's coming from someone who hates ads. Every streaming subscription I have, I pay for the ad-free service. Let the people who don't know how to install a browser extension or change a few settings pay for these things for the rest of us.

Working in IT feels like you are trying to hit a moving target. We are constantly expected to have X amount of years of experience with whatever the latest trend is. The first modern smart phone, the iPhone, isn't even 20 years old. The way we build applications has been completely transformed in the past 10-15 years. Everything is expected to be scalable, highly available and automated....
I've never seen an SLA that compensates for anything more than credit off your bill. I can't imagine a service that pays for loss of productivity, one outage and the whole company could be bankrupt. If your business depends on a cloud service for productivity you should have a backup plan if that service goes down.
I just read that paper for a second time and now I understand QC is magic.
Thanks for the advice, I found quite a few hackathons a few hours away. I'll have to take some time off so I can get something substantial under my belt and meet some people.

I have been studying JS for 2 years in my spare time and working in general IT for 6 years. I am looking to land a full stack dev job but I feel like my portfolio is lacking. Node/React/Redux/Redux-Saga are some technologies I would love to work in and have been making little projects but I don't have anything that really stands out. Can anyone give me some example projects that I can put...
