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…
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.
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…
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…
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.
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…
Thank you for the examples. It was interesting and I learned something.
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…
People probably continue to use Oracle products because Oracle makes a lot of good and useful products. Oracle is typically not criticized for its products, its criticized for its high prices and price increases.
My iPhone is over 5 years old and has not slowed down. When Apple did slow down phones, it was because the battery was aging and it could not produce enough power to power the CPU at full speed. Apple had two choices:…
Apple is no where near as invasive as Google. Most sites on the Internet phone home to Google. Here are some examples: https://securepubads.g.doubleclick.net/ https://news.google.com/swg/js/v1/swg.js - I found these on…
It's still a security bug. Often, multiple bugs like this are chained together to create one very nasty exploit. I agree that this bug probably does not deserve a massive payout, but I think $3,000-5,000$ is appropriate.
I am not surprised. First, it's a subtle bug. Second, in C/C++. a lot of times you get unlucky when reading uninitialized memory. Basically, the bug does not occur when you test the code on your machine or when you run…
Why? C# has added a lot of good features over the years including lamda functions, generics, private functions, string interpolation, LINQ, etc.
Create React App should not be used because it is no longer maintained. Here is its GitHub repro: https://github.com/facebook/create-react-app/commits/main/ . It has had very few updates since July 2022. This is bad…
React has very good documentation and an excellent tutorial. Here is a link to it: https://react.dev/learn . I recommend doing the exercises. They really help you learn React.
If it's a fine, it probably goes to the United States Treasury or the SEC's budget. I also wouldn't be surprised if the settlement was not fully paid.
If a browser does not support modern TLS (SSL), it probably also has unpatched security flaws. Unpatched browsers should never be used on the Internet because they will get hacked.
