Best example of Market-ganda ever, marketers protecting their own. 6 names for the same idea - manipulating others for self-gain.

China will not be able to shoot down satellites just to stop video feeds escaping. Its an act of war. Also the USA will surely have capabilities to resist such attacks, and it only takes 1 stream to get through. Democracy/free-enterpri

Yep, applying for a US visa now. I wonder what the actual changes are, is someone in ICE stalking your FB looking for pro-Hillary memes or something? For anyone who actually needed a security clearance, they wouldn't need you to volunt

This is total submarine marketing by AWS. Im sure some very smart people with good intentions at AWS produced this, but the fact is they're not an independent academic providing objectively "the best" practices, they're

My coworker owes me lunch, I said they would yank the Zoom app for breaking the app stores TOS (close enough hahaha). Apple cant be very happy with public companies breaking their platform, especially in the name of "UX", which is

Their latest patch they rushed out is basically just implementing uninstall the way it should be.

In my case there isnt anything I didnt expect. Also closing the apps that were running e.g. RabbitMQ actually stopped the webservers.

I uninstalled it via their new patch, but it doesnt remove all files. I think its just caches and logs left but who knows. If you want to purge this malware with fire you still need to follow the instructions at https://apple.sta

Well, the company and product are dead to me now, gonna hassle our CTO to switch. I just really hope theres some dev at Zoom who hated this whole installing backdoors idea who's gonna have the greatest "I told you so" day at

I work with Ruby and Elixir daily and Elixir is 10x faster. Phoenix recently added functionality to display response times in microseconds, partially as a showcase for its good performance. I dont doubt you can get more performance in C++ o

One of my favourite subreddits is r/aboringdystopia (about how we live in a boring dystopian world) and one recent trending post was about Microsoft shutting down their ebooks business, which means booka bought there will all stop work

> one of the main functions of a nation-state is to put up defence against other nation-states This is the synergystic existense between so-called leaders. They keep each-other in power, both using the threat of the other.

The US could give up their priviledged position in the anglosphere and give all of us who are currently just along for the ride (i.e. weaker weatern nations) a real shot at the democracy they so fervently sprout. I forsee more colsolidation

It also explains that the training is basically done when the discriminator has a roughly 50% (random) ability to discern between real and fake.

What legislation? Specifically? What do you want to make law, that they have to hire moderators (which they already do?) or do you want to make it illegal to post "bad things" on the internet?

Somewhere we computing folk lost our way - nobody needs software just for the sake of it (with the exception of maybe games). Everything we do is supposed to be building tools for other people who do the real work to make their life easie
