You can run software on bare metal without an OS. The downside is you have to write everything. That means drivers, networking code, the process abstraction (if you need it), etc. One thing to remember is an operating…
You would end up blocking every network then. Almost no one wants malware on their machine or network. Unfortunately, people get hacked and network operators cannot always determine which machines are hacked (hackers…
Wire-fraud is a United States legal concept. It's probably not applicable to Germany (although Germany might have its own laws which cover this issue).
I wish these companies luck. That being said, I would not recommend working all of the time to almost all people. Here is why: 1. According to Rapid Development or Code Complete (I can't remember which book said this),…
I am not sure what your point is. If Boeing went bankrupt, someone could buy them and the company would continue running. Also, Boeing is not the most important defense contractor in the US. They don’t make the F35 and…
Tariffs, imports, and exports are controlled by the Federal,Government of the United States of America. The states have no power in these areas.
The easiest thing is stop installing the apps and stop looking at the feeds.
You are right that this is not an io_uring issue. I think you under estimate the value of anti-virus. Anti virus software is a good second line of defense. It’s not perfect but it will stop a lot of known malware. This…
That is not my experience. Every US company I have worked in spent a lot of time training employees to follow the relevant laws. I have even been on teams which had to do work to comply with the European GDPR. The…
Real life people use AI. A good example of this is the lawyers who submit court filings with AI generated legal citations. The get caught because the citations are fake (the case cited does not exist).
Probably because there are services (AKA web services, software listening on a network port, etc.) out there which accept arbitrary Parquet files. This seems like a safe assumption given lots of organizations use…
I suspect that an MCP is just a rebranded API. We have also seen these sorts of extensibility mechanisms before. Browser extensions, Object Linking and Embedding, Dynamic Data Exchange, and Visual Studio Code extensions…
My last iPhone’s battery lasted about 5.5 years before it needed to be replaced. Replacing it cost about $90 + tax at the Apple store. The bottom line is Apple products do last and if you need a new battery, you can get…
I suspect the moral of the story is devops and operations staff need to keep all payments, secret rotations, certificate expirations, etc. on a calendar so no one forgets to pay the bills. I hope the employee who forgot…
Netflix is very profitable. Its net income for 2022 was $4.4 billion; for 2023 it was $5.4 billion; and in 2024 it was $8.7 billion. For more information, go to…
If you want to pay for it, go for it. I suspect a lot of content on the Internet will never be missed if it was deleted.
A Computer Science degree does not teach you to be a good software engineer. In fact, you don't even need a degree to be a good software engineer. For 99% of the software engineering jobs, employers are not looking…
Ilya Sutskever was one the main people at Open AI. The article says the company's name is "Safe Superintelligence" and also says its an AI startup. The company will not tell us more until it has a product which is ready…
I uses the business version of Office 365 for e-mail. It works well. I never have a problem with e-mails not being delivered or going into a SPAM folder. I am not saying your family did anything wrong. What I am saying…
I have never ever seen this. If your "friends" treat you badly because of your phone choice, they are not really your friends. Also, iMessage is not that great. It's nice but it is not amazing like some people make it…
Agreed - If you want good products, you should support the people who create them. That means paying. If you want a privacy destroying enshitified product, keep using "free" products.
Safari blocks a lot of these trackers. For more information, please see https://support.apple.com/guide/iphone/browse-the-web-privat... . Also, you missed the point of my comment. The comment I replied to basically was…
Thank you for the examples. It was interesting and I learned something.
OK, what products have gotten worse under Oracle? How do they compare to their competitors? Why don't people leave Oracle if it is so bad? Remember, people can and do move platforms all of the time. A good example is…
You had a bad experience with Oracle and I get that. They didn't treat you well. However, not everyone has a bad experience with them and a lot of companies make mistakes and treat customers poorly. The question is not…
