I was genuinely asking, what cloud service do you use where trusted computing is essential for the core functionality of that service? What elements of the computational process do you not trust those services to perform for you? My point a

In comparison with healthcare information systems the GDPR is really not that hard to follow. You can get guides for business owners which can be read and understood in under an hour. If you design your system according to the guidelines yo

The GDPR is about protecting personal data, what personal data could you possibly need to train an AI model?

Who are you protecting data access from in those cases? My suggestion was that it's probably more practical to run those kinds of solutions on a hardware stack you trust; in our basement or in a small box on the wall in your living roo

After skimming through the documentation this seems like a nice solution, but I'm not sure if this is a problem we want to solve. Consumers are finding out the issue with cloud computing when their heating system can't turn on bec

The platform owner can manage keys and data contracts in the processor, that should enable them to rotate secrets constantly. In other hardware there is an OEM secret because the manufacturer is trying to keep users out of "their hardw

During dusk, which is pretty long around winter here, I have to wear sunglasses when I out training on bike. It's worst on hilly terrain.

Do you mean Steam Remote Play and Steam Link?

by Manfred 11mo ago
Probably because Steam doesn't want to sell an Xbox and Microsoft won't license Windows to be rebranded.

The point of the article is that Goodnotes stopped selling a lifetime purchase version of the app and a lot of other products go this route. You can't buy things that can't be bought.

I think we agree, my point is that we're discussing two different conceptual categories and it's dangerous to use the same words for those categories when specifically arguing about only one. One, it makes it appear that all ethic

It could be an interesting data point, but without correcting for absolute usage figures and their customers it's kind of hard to make general statements.

Yikes, you're bypassing thousands of years of oppression, abuse, and human suffering by casually equating a term that is primarily associated with a human owning another human to a different context. There is a way to discuss if keepin

Your experience with bad teachers seems more like an argument in favor of better education than against it. It's possible to develop better teaching material and methods if there is focus on a subject, even if it's time consuming.

I wonder how software export will affect open source, what does "critical software from China" mean?

by Manfred 1y ago
Insofar that’s possible in general. Networking, hyperlink systems, and phone books already existed.

You don't have to live in a country to be hired as a contractor by a company. The only difference is that the contractor will pay taxes in the country of residence, so ultimately it's a bad deal for the US.

Reviewing code from less experienced or unmotivated people is also very taxing, both in a cognitive and emotional sense. It will never approach a really good level of quality because you just give up after 4 rounds of reviews on the same fe

You have to understand where we came from. Development for iOS and macOS (then MacOS) meant you had to pluck source files from random places on the internet and weave them into your Xcode build. Xcode and xcodebuild didn't really shine

To make sure code loaded from gems doesn’t shadow the namespace of the application.

Any cost to a city that doesn’t have immediate utility to the people governing the city has to fight an uphill battle against everything else. And a in a lot of cases all available money is already allocated. In such an environment people g

My experience writing Unicode related libraries is that people don't use features when you have to explain why and when to use them. I assume that's why Tim puts the emphasis on "working on something new".

I would love if this had a more open graphics processor, the IMG BXE requires close source firmware so it's not really great for hobby OS development.

A company with thousands of developers can focus on multiple things at once. I'm happy they are trying to improve all parts of the operating system and not just AI features I personally will never use.

That's a pretty weak argument given that I use Pop!_OS, Ubuntu, and Debian and have had these issues with all of them. You can look for things like "nvidia drm broken" and find thousands of threads of people all types of prob

I'm not saying existing desktop environments are broken, my point is that SteamOS does not show that KDE / Gnome / etc are "mature" because it doesn't actually use them. In the same way that we know all dogs ar

SteamOS actually does the opposite. It does not use any of the popular desktop environments (unless you drop into Desktop Mode). It heavily curates hardware, kernel, and drivers to keep the platform from breaking and install with sane (perf
