I think the Technic Lego kits that I grew up with (that were more about how things worked rather than looking exactly like the thing) have been rebranded as "Lego Education":…
If the case was subject to reporting restrictions (which seems quite possible given what he says), it might be illegal for him to tell us the names.
In the actual example, I don't think the engineers were trying to patent something obvious - it's just not unusual for engineers to casually throw around the word "obvious" for things that are not, and it's unwise to…
Working a 4 day week isn't mentioned in the article - maybe the position you were approached for was special? ...but I would not be at all surprised if the requirement to be in the office was prorated too. In other…
In previous employment (as a software engineer), I've been told to do this too - mainly around inventions we were trying to patent. The reason is slightly less nefarious than you might think - for example, someone might…
Thanks, both! This was used in a static build that decrypted and checksummed its binary before execution, which ruled out naive implementations of the attacks above. I agree there are ways round these too, but I believe…
I've seen this used preemptively - have the process ptrace itself on startup (and then do nothing with it) to make it impossible (or at least far-from-trivial) for other interested parties to ptrace it.
Thanks! I agree with your reading that changing the default username and password and re-exporting would count as modification. However, it seems there are plenty of Ubuntu .deb mirrors out there... and there are even…
Do you have any other references on this? It seems that it all hinges on what a "modified version" of Ubuntu is. Is redistributing their packages outside of a full disk image a modified version?
Interesting thought! I think the problem is that it's hard to parallelize this effectively across a network with Internet-scale latency - individual matrix multiplications parallelize very well, but there would need to…
Agreed. We compost fruit and vegetable waste in our garden, but it is scary how much other food waste (as well as meat and fish bones goes in our "blue bin" for external composting. Entocycle (https://entocycle.com/) is…
I live in London and am married with 2 kids, working in tech. Personally, I'm not seeing too much difference. * Energy prices are higher, and this has had a knock-on effect, but I see it more on childcare (e.g. nursery)…
I think we're conflating Kubernetes with containers here. I definitely agree that databases don't benefit from running under containers - they are pet-like (and so don't benefit from fast spin up or massive horizontal…
Yes, I use 1p Mobile too - moved from Three after they abandoned their 123 plan. Have used it for about 10 months and been very happy with it! (Like the parent, no links with them, and very light user.)
Even if they're swapped, the maths doesn't work out - the ratio of squares is 1:42 while the ratio of latencies is 1:1500.
Agreed. I didn't want to spoil at the time, but yesterday you would have been unlucky with both these word choices!
Is it possible they use io_uring for networking?
I believe that Redis supports CRDTs (https://redis.com/blog/diving-into-crdts/) for its active/active geo-replication, and they're supposed to be pretty fast. ...but it's important to note that CRDTs as used by Redis…
> if we start digging into the core and allowing energy to escape faster, we would effectively speed it up, right? I don't think we're even digging through the crust - there'd still be the mantle (~100x thicker) before…
> For UK citizens wanting to bring a family member from Ukraine, I hope it's not like the regular, draconian family scheme where approximately 50% of UK citizens with a foreign spouse cannot meet the eligibility…
I think the question is what does "security assurances" mean. The term doesn't appear in the actual text of the memorandum (https://web.archive.org/web/20170312052208/http://www.cfr.or...) and so has been introduced by…
I'm only going by the Content section of the Wikipedia article you reference (which may be wrong), but to me it doesn't say that the UK "assures the integrity of Ukraine's border", just that UK respects its independence…
> The rules for pedestrians haven't changed https://www.gov.uk/guidance/the-highway-code/updates suggests they have - specifically... > Updated rule 8 to clarify other traffic should give way when pedestrians are…
Thanks for the correction! I think I meant priority then - previously when turning into a side street, motor vehicles had priority over pedestrians waiting to cross, but now pedestrians waiting to cross have priority…
> This must be a cultural thing. I have seen two cyclists run red lights where I live in the past decade. I see motorists do the same thing every day. Fair enough. I only have my own experience to go on. Since writing…
