I heard Elon Musk state in an interview that they gave every new line of code 1 point and every deleted line of code 2 points so clearly at least Tesla seems to value fewer lines of code. Reference: https://youtu.be/YAtLTLiq

Um, even if it's mature technology that doesn't negate the costs of operating two different databases which is a large part of what the original presentation is about.

Indeed! The "Latency Numbers Every Programmer Should Know" page from Peter Norvig builds a helpful intuition from a performance perspective but of course there's a lot larger cost in terms of complexity as well.

Ah... Reminds me of the heady days of IE6 supremacy when so many websites were IE6 only. Sucks that we're headed back to those days again.

Yeah, this is what doesn't make sense to me. Why not leave the current approved app listing up? Why, during an update would they completely remove the listing for previously approved versions?!? Is the process really that broken?

Thanks for your video. This no doubt foreshadows the Raspberry Foundation eventually moving away from the Broadcom SoCs to their own custom SoC for future Raspberry Pi iterations as well.

It's not a matter of whether a contract was breached. People tend to get upset when trust is broken. I suppose your argument is that people shouldn't have trusted RedHat because no money was exchanged but that's not really

Lucene is a pretty low-level search library. It has no concept of clustering etc. etc. What ElasticSearch built on top is far from trivial. Furthermore, ElasticSearch pays a number of people to contribute back to the Lucene project. As f

It's a bit more muddled then that since AWS isn't using the true ElasticSearch bits but rather an OpenDistro fork of it that they created themselves. So is it still ElasticSearch? Mostly, but it's not exactly the same thing

It was interesting to me how many of these were related to making async calls to adjust state resulting in race conditions. In many cases the argument was made that async calls were not justified. Many times we follow a particular call pa

I guess the downside of using this mechanism is that if you already have an external monitor attached then you can't use this solution? Or is there another way to use Deskreen? For example, my Mac laptop is already plugged into a lar

The downside of that attitude is that if a chat program is only used for what governments consider subversive activities then it will be targeted to be shutdown. It is much better to have a general-purpose, secure chat program that IS main

I thought the author addressed this pretty clearly in the article. For his specific use-case he was delivering a JVM agent.

I think one of the issues (beyond media's propensity towards sensationalism to draw attention) is that the extremes at either end of a debate are very black and white. Black and white can be explained in a single sentence many times b

Exactly. It boggles the mind the RH would make the announcement without having the new plans in place.

This. We run CentOS for non-critical stuff and RHEL for stuff that really needs support. If we need to switch off CentOS we certainly won't be using RHEL either. Doesn't make sense to be running a Debian flavour mixed with RHEL

Interesting. Now where's the Oracle-to-Postgres Translation project? ;-)

Is there any language 20+ years old without cruft?

I wonder whether we'll see the day when the satellites themselves can contain say, Netflix/Amazon/Disney cache servers to cut down on back haul traffic?

You could try something like bbcp ( https://www.slac.stanford.edu/~abh/bbcp/ ) if copying large amounts of data over relatively high-latency network connections.

I guess the rationalizations will change once scp (the protocol) is well and truly dead won't they?

You've got that right. We're quickly heading back to the days of "This website best experienced in IE6." (replace IE6 with Google Chrome). It's not a good thing.

This helps mitigate some risk but if you're using OAuth or rely on receiving future emails via your @gmail.com account you're still out of luck regardless

And there are ways to manipulate RAM access patterns to induce errors as described in the initial Rowhammer attack paper plus later RAMBleed papers. Hopefully this newer DDR version is designed to be resistant to this type of attack.

Not sure exactly what he means by that but he does link to another effort that implements everything using Rust: https://github.com/rust-embedded/rust-raspberrypi-OS-tutoria...

That's not true unless you mean "free LTS" JDK from Oracle. There are several other projects providing free LTS, TCK-certified builds including: RedHat OpenJDK & Amazon Corretto to name two off the top of my head.

What's funny is there were versions of the JVM for Sparc way, way back in time (Java 1.1) that had so-called green threads which were multiple threads mapped to a single (or multiple) native threads.

We're running on the Cloud version and the ticket pages are incredibly janky and slow.

This is based on the Apple/Google API initiative. Now if only we can get the provinces onboard with this. One of the things about Canada is that the provinces are largely responsible for funding and delivering health so that federal
