It might be a role; but I think the pattern is that a strong-man government overthrows a democratically elected government. When that occurs, American sanctions follow. To see this play out in real time, watch Niger. https://www

I want this so bad. Can. We. Just. Fucking. Stop. Seriously. Ukraine and Russia? None of our business. Palestine and Israel? None of our business. Defense of Europe and NATO membership? None of our business. Let the world figure out the

The US has every right to decide who and who they do not wish to do business with. In this case, _the_ difference is that Saudi Arabia has never been a liberal democracy. America hopes it's relationship with countries like Saudi Arabi

This is a general pattern with the US. The communist coop in '65 illegally seized American property, illegally imprisoned Americans, and to this day the Cuban government oppresses and jails political dissidents. American foreign polic

My understanding is that there are outstanding claims for the American held property that was seized during the communist coop in 1965. There's also the outstanding issue of political prisoners and open, free elections. I think America

This can be over tomorrow. Release the political dissidents and hold open free elections. Sanctions will be lifted.

What's the definition of a "manufacturer"? Would this apply to, for example, the Linux Foundation and by extension the Linux kernal?

Oh really? Lets say an issue meets the reporting criteria but a patch can only be deployed physically. And the exploit is a trival wireless attack on a pacemaker. By your reasoning, making sure everyone knows about the issue is a desirab

Presumably, but in an organization that size, I can easily imagine a manager with a large number of direct reports, perhaps scattered geographically too, where the employee's actual assignment or expected work location is completely op

In our entitled and highly litigious society I call this Corporate Normal Form. First Corporate Normal Form is messaging derogatories, or things perceived as such, to have a unoffensive coating and makes speaking about them not immediately

A few thoughts: 1. This is probably just badge-in and not badge-out data. I'd be surprised if you have to badge to exit the facility. 2. This may contain badge data when accessing other areas of the campus; such as elevators, executi

Sure, but my reply is in the context of deploying and hosting a web application.

True, but SCPing a JAR around still requires a JRE of some sort of another and all that entails. Sure, containerization helps that but, in turn, it too is another dependency in the eventual execution. Long term, I think static binaries win

100% this. Not worrying about the runtime environment is a huge improvement. And with go embed[1], that single binary can be literally _everything_ needed by the application. Even non-go stuff can be embedded, like for example, a compiled

I liked the article but I have a nit with the Deployment section: First, Go has other deployment options other than Docker or providers that support docker containers. For example, Google App Engine (GAE) has a command line interface very

I don't think your analogy holds up. Take the iPhone. Its a lot more than a Linux system repository. Its hardware. Its software. And it's also regulated things, like health records, payments, radio emissions, and a host of o

Ah, the old "guilty until proven innocent". And it pads the pockets of shareholders. That's what we call a win win.

Replying to myself, I know, but then how about we work out how many fatalities are occurred due to housing affordability? Code costs need to consider that too; since increasing costs means less people get houses to live in. And homeless p

There's undoubtedly bad churches out there. Maybe even a lot. But I think blanket demagoguery of any group, include churches, shows a lack of curiosity, and maybe too, tolerance of others who think differently than you.

by barelysapient 3y ago
I think a _LOT_ of safety is overstated. I'd be curious for an assessment of code-preventable fatalities of home occupants from, say, the 1960s until today. I'd be shocked if the cumulative building codes since then to today coul

I would welcome a honest review from a qualified third party. Picking one example out of thin air, I'd say AFCI breakers are overkill and add a fair amount of cost. For HVAC, requiring a fused disconnect within 6ft of the unit is over

by barelysapient 3y ago
Exactly this. And, a hard look at building construction standards in regards to HVAC, electrical and plumbing could help too. Plumbing is about $5.25 sq/ft for new construction [1] and electrical is about $9 sq/ft [2]. On a 2,0

Not all churches engage in this behavior. You appear to hold some pretty strong and uncharitable assumptions.

Exactly this. The only thing unmentioned, but that you should be aware of, is the effort to deploy this stack from scratch. You can assume the DB survives, or doesn't, but the ability to go from zero to a running deployment from a rec

I'm curious how you see the supply of equipment and training to Ukraine: Do you consider this part of America playing the cop or something else?

Perhaps the device the french government tested was repaired with some non-apple approved third party component?

Well, these are energy credits not cash. Effectively, a large credit on their power bill they can spend against down the road.
