Apple was one the companies that created ARM as well. ”The company was founded in November 1990 as Advanced RISC Machines Ltd and structured as a joint venture between Acorn Computers, Apple Computer (now Apple Inc.) and VLSI Technology.”

Since people don't read the article: "The Microsoft Alternatives project (MAlt) started a year ago to mitigate anticipated software license fee increases. MAlt’s objective is to put us back in control using open software." &q

Enjoying debugging their code? :)

Amazon botched something with the first version of their Spectre/Meltdown fix.

Or getting your account banned after someone failed trying to brute force it and not being able to access it due to changes in security policies.

Regardless of the intent in this case. Don’t connect your personal iCloud account to your work computer.

Either a Silva at home or Nespresso at the office has been my daily routine the last 8-9 years. I wouldn’t call the Silva expensive. Probably hard too find something cheaper that feels better, quality wise, than even a Nespresso-machine.

You can pull an image using the sha: docker pull ubuntu@sha256:45b23dee08af5e43a7fea6c4cf9c25ccf269ee113168c19722f87876677c5cb2

”Mixing operational concerns with application concerns like this results in a poor tool for developers who just want to write code and ship it as painlessly as possible.” Yeah, throw that code over to the ops team. Let them figure stuff out

Sure, they could have been the ones launching the Unifi line of routers and switches, instead of Ubiquiti, but that would mean caring about and supporting non-mac equipment and computers in the offices.

I still use my 2012 MacBook Pro 15”. I upgraded it yesterday with a new 2 TB SSD drive to replace the 1 TB SSD I bought 4-5 years ago. It’s still surprisingly fast and the only thing that feels really old is the screen. Modern retina screen

Hopefully more regulations will come forcing the manufacturers to think about reparability. Not sure where the EU right to repair ended up, but it seems more to be optional and just give better labelling.

Thanks for putting a name to this. Happens way too often when I start rewriting old code. I usually rename the test class of the old implementation to OldXTest and try to keep the interface of the new code similar enough to enable a reasona

Unfortunately not. It was a while ago, so I might have been unlucky with the version I tried. I believe after half a day of struggling to get it working, I got to the point where I was required to setup an organization or something like tha

I certainly believe it’s scalable, but I have a hard time seeing the need for two caching products, a queue and a db just to get it to start.

Well, it’s not fewer components regardless how you package it. Running docker compose wasn’t enough to get into a fully configured system to be able to evaluate it even.

We looked at it briefly, but the number of components make it look more of a tech demo than a product meant to be installed on-prem. Redis, Postgres, Rabbitmq and Memcached just to run a chat?

I tried Prime video for a few hours in Sweden but couldn’t find any movies that wasn’t country blocked. Cancelled Prime after that.

Assuming blacklisting happens infrequently, you would have a few orders of magnitude fewer entries and could keep them in-memory on each server and have them fetch them all once every X seconds instead of for each request.

Containers have more than just filesystem namespacing. You also get a network namespace, process namespace, user namespace and ability to set cpu/memory limits. Since you would have a container for each application, you have an easier

For pop music marketing is everything. The major labels are the curators of pop music. Spotify owning/promoting artists would be a big change and it’s probably too early for pure social media promotion. For ambient/classical music

The major labels invested in Spotify to help kill illegal downloads and control their future during the transition to streaming. Now, with competing services, they want to make sure Spotify doesn’t become dominant and control their future.

One of my favorite games as well. Pleasantly surprised when there was a Swedish iOS app for kids with similar concepts, Pettson och Findus uppfinningar, that my five year old nephew showed me.

My browser process can read plenty of sensitive information and with js and now streaming wasm JIT increasing the attack vector, I’m not so sure I trust the “quickly fixed in software” :) Yeah, BTB tagging is probably a lot better than flus

Flushing on privilege level change is just the Meltdown mitigation. Spectre includes reading data in the same process.

Apparently no amount of coding standards, reviewing or number of contributors make up for the huge deficiencies of using C. Wondering what the state of open source operating systems would be if they didn’t have to fight the programming lan
