It’ll be a licensing/copywrite concern. Large corporations using GenAI have guardrails and indemnity from their providers to protect them. Taking external contributions is more problematic, at the moment at least. So, in a standard lawyerly manner they shut it down until safe to do so.

It might be switched off after each use in your household but it’s definitely not in others. Neither is the toaster, nor kettle.

The lack of any subject level standardised US high school certification to prove skill-level for matriculation still boggles my mind. I realise this is fundamentally a curriculum issue, as it’s set at a local level. There’s AP, but that’s not universally available.

Yep, and it now features as a supported language in their latest database version. That might be another reason they continue to protect the trademark.

If you don’t want IOT for the bed warmer/chiller then there’s this:

It works rather well, I’m tempted to reverse-engineer the remote control protocol for home automation purposes.

Not any longer, they sold it off in 2020 and only retain a minority share.

It’s a declarative language and it’s compiled into an execution "plan", and parameterised queries (bind variables, prepared statements, whatever you want to call them) are passed at runtime. When you dynamically build queries by concatenation you bypass this compilation phase (parse, compute plan, etc.), and spend unnecessary time on near identical queries.

If you want many more gory details, this is a good watch: https://youtu.be/eurwtUhY5fk

I hope they’re eventually prepared to legislate against one-time pads, as they’re bespoke and sophisticated and equally impossible to crack.

I bought an XBox HD-DVD drive expressly for the purpose of, err, "preserving" my movies once the format died. It works well connected to a PC.

Similar etymology, I would suppose “All mans” https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alamans

It’s German meaning “commons" - communal lands.

This is very reminiscent of the m:n thread support of Java on Solaris. https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E19620-01/805-4031/6j3qv1oej/inde...

Yes, I gave one to my son when he was 5 years old. He's still playing with it even now he's 10. I bought it used from an eBay seller. They're remarkably physically robust, even after all these years, it's taken plenty of knocks and tumbles. Unlike a tablet or computer, it's also very much offline so we felt completely comfortable letting him use it unattended.

For Java there’s the Omniscient debugger ... http://omniscientdebugger.github.io/

From my experience, large corporations have standardized job roles (e.g. SE5) and these have descriptions attached to them, describing the role in the numbing HR verbage shown in the post. This text is used everywhere from hiring, all the way to assessing your performance. Much like legal texts, the meaning is precise in the hands of HR but for anyone else appears stuffy and verbose.

Unfortunately, the hiring manager often has to use this prescribed text and if they are lucky they may have a paragraph added on to describe what the real role entails.

Yes, the UK does have something like FDIC. It's called FSCS http://www.fscs.org.uk. Moreover quite a few EU countries have something similar too: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deposit_insurance
