Ok I thought that was the whole point of things like Intel TDX , AMD SEV and various enclave mechanisms which provide full ram encryption and attestation ? The only issue left would be managed services though, which then I wouldn’t use, but

Thanks. I get that FHE is not realistic today, but can’t I use ( if it’s really critical) a combination of confidential vms and an external hsm ? I understand I’ll be limited to traditional workloads , and not managed services though. I ask

Maybe I’m misunderstanding something - if I store my data elsewhere , am I not supposed to encrypt it anyway, with my keys ? If the crypto is strong enough then surely cloud providers can’t do anything with it ?

Yes - I tried the other platforms. Much to my surprise (and granted, I have the means to do so) I will favor steam whenever possible, it’s just significantly better.

Comanche ( or at least an approximation of it ) on an Atari ST - that’s quite a feat!

I see your point but … trees and blobs are an implementation detail that I shouldn’t need to know. This is different from files and directories ( at least directories ) in your example. What I want to know is that I have a graph and am movi

This is exactly what I meant. https://git-scm.com/book/en/v2/Git-Branching-Branches-in-a-N... The book says that ‘ To really understand the way Git does branching, we need to take a step back and examine how

I disagree, but it doesn’t mean you’re wrong - we might just be looking for different things. My view is that if you’re going to talk like a bored robot, then I need a transcript or a paper which is much shorter than a talk. I distinctly re

The git documentation is one of the nastiest docs ever just like the whole git ui. It’s technically entirely correct, but won’t help you understand how it works in any way. It’s exactly like folks in 1995 telling you to rtfm when you’re try

So based on my experience teaching git ( I remember a cvs to git migration …) , reality tells me people find git difficult. Now, once you teach them it’s a commit graph with names, some of them floating, some people get it. The thing is, no

It's stunning. I don't use these tools that much ( I tried and rejected Cursor a while ago, and decided not to use it ) but having played with GPT5 Codex ( as a paying customer) yesterday in regular VSCode , and having had Compo

Why bother with Xwindow when you can have this ?

FWIW I come from a non working class background ( but am not American ). My friends and I routinely debate in such a manner, and don’t see any problem with this. If confronted with a stranger we might be a bit more cautious ( basically we’l

The way you express it is different from most other languages I’ve come across. It doesn’t make it bad in any way ( I’ve written Ada professionally), just unusual. Basically Ada already provides natively substantial capabilities relative to

Pascal is not a low level language - quite the opposite. That being said, various implementations provide low level facilities, including turbo pascal back in the days , and free pascal which I did use in the early 2000s. If I were you, if

I had the same experience as you with Le Monde diplomatique. The language used in some of the articles felt a lot like propaganda ( hyperbolic language, us vs them, anger/emotional language, basic facts being ignored etc ). I was very

Same here - I did consider buying a steam deck, then after experimenting with GeForce now on a small screen realized that pc game designers assumed larger screens. This is ok, but this makes many games unplayable on a small screen unless yo

What I want to know is whether people who believe in a bubble actually short AI/tech-related stocks.

To some extent it’s not that they don’t live up to the hype - rather that the gains are hard to measure. Llms have spared me hours of research on exotic topics actually useful for my day job However, that’s the whole problem - I don’t know

I sometimes wonder whether there’s an eu vs us difference here. At least when it comes to tv, I found the hard way ( a long time ago ) that the amount of ads Americans are exposed to is simply unbearable. This extends to youtube and similar

I like these bugs. They’re intricate, technical puzzles, that can take weeks to figure out. You need a proper strategy to figure them out, cannot rely on simple tactics, and when you finally understand what’s going on, it’s immensely satisf

The fake anonymity journalists often give to sources (‘Richard D , from small town X, aged 34, works as a carpenter specializing in 16th century house renovation’) is something I find rather striking. What’s not clear to me though is whethe

Fair question. Location primarily ( nothing in France ), and I’m not sure how ‘we’re looking for people who enjoy doing that kind of thing’( I very much do ) relates to the actual job offers, ie what job offer should I actually apply to. My

Excellent article as always from the cloudflare blog - engineering without magic infrastructure and ml. One day I will apply ! Compiler bugs are actually quite common ( I used to find several a year in gcc ), but as the author says, some of

I think at least slow and expensive compilers back in the days, the defense and aerospace stigma, and in more recent times a common misperception that it’s closed source. And it’s never been cool stuff. And yes you’re right, it’s a very go

I don’t understand how you can get the same kind of reliability with C than with Spark - process or not, a formal proof is a formal proof. That’s much harder to get with C.

I don’t want to use google anymore - bad search results, too many ads.
