Finding the best cassette decks these days is a science unto itself though. Lots of mediocre stuff getting put out to ride the hype.
I learned C from that document with devc++ & mingw on windows :)
a tar.something is just a tar archive passed through a compression filter like zstd or gzip. Anyway, tar needs metadata extensions in order to allow random access; most tarballs you'll find don't. So you need to read…
I can't stress enough how this is gross neglegience on the side of the prosecution and justice system, I'd even say treason towards the affected citizens. Having a criminal record denies you opportunities in life and…
This might be true in some cases. For example, I'd argue that doing a Cisco CCNA/CCNP certification is going to teach people not entirely familiar with the matter a ton of useful stuff about network technology in…
That's like picking a plumbing job because you get to work with hex instead of torx screws. As a professional solution-provider, you're free to offer only work with a specific set of tools but don't expect jobs to…
You'll just see HTTP451 more.

This is why I use fixed price offerings for personal projects. A large bill is probably chump change for someone like Troy, for others it's a year or two of savings. The risk is not worth it.
From my personal experience, the best time I had as a consultant was when the client paid their bill :>
The West is on a way to 2nd world status at best, comprised of 1st world enclaves / gated communities where things are in order and a wild 2nd world west.
Where I live (Germany) this is completely unfeasible and untrustworthy for yet another reason: telcos and ISPs (the big telcos here are ISPs as well). There are not many industries where contract agreements are handled…
If the state of current (10/11) Windows UI and UX is any indicator it must have gotten much worse since 2008. I would never have done anything that shows a GUI on Windows hadn't I had access to Qt to absolve me from…
This is a bit more elaborate behaviour than what I have observed from our (small) spiders here, but as a general rule, I don't do anything to spiders in my apartment as well. They keep their territory clean of other…
How so? https://github.com/microsoft/wslg#pre-requisites It used to be on the insider preview, but that has moved to 11.
In EU, some sectors that are doing business with public institutions are effectively barred from using US clouds, esp. in education, as contracts tend to demand a degree of control and assurement that no US hyperscaler…
I think security at NPM is "done". It's a public repository of stuff. End of story. Why should NPM do the job of vetting everything? They aren't getting paid for it (or most of it).
CloudFormation can be very flexible, especially with tools like sceptre, it can work very well. A huge issue is that WITHOUT tools like sceptre, you can't really use stacks except as dumb silos. You already need…

Prime membership has no bearing of whether I buy at Amazon or not. I buy expensive electronics on Amazon because they'll refund broken/repacked pre-used/counterfeit stuff without question. I seriously do not get the…
It needs to run with elevated privileges in order to do this, right? So into the trash it goes. This is right up there with keyboard and mice configuration software running as daemons with administration privileges.
Our helpdesk will recommend Devs to switch to canonical multipass + podman on their mac dev machines, away from Docker Desktop for mac. Currently, the helpdesk is whipping up a provisioning package that includes scripts…
...they do that because they university pays a pittance. No choice but to have as many jobs as doable, as lecturers get paid by the course unit and not a wage.
