   Of course Compaq was Houston rather than DFW. The case design for the first portable was scribbled on the back of a paper placemat at the House of Pies diner on Westheimer. They still could have had Donna working at TI, which has a presence

   It depends on what part of the car is crumpled, dented, scratched, or misaligned and what your deductible is. It doesn’t take much body work to hit $250, $500, or even $2000.

   If you are in control of two processes on a single machine instance, you could share the memory between a writer and a read-only consumer. The key phrase though would seem to be “memory representation”m and not “same memory”. You can spit t

   2110 is certainly popular in the industry. There’s no one way to get video out of a sports venue and across the network to takers, though. Where I work different workflows have SDI, NDI, SRT, RIST, and our own internal stuff uses MPEG TS ov

   TLS doesn’t mask the IP of the server. The updater probably isn’t using DNS over HTTPS. If I can determine that a user’s updater just hit the update check server, I can start impersonating the update server. That takes it out of the one day

   I don’t remember ever having to activate a piece of RedHat code after downloading it. I do remember paying a subscription to have authentication to particular repos. It’s been a while, though.

   I usually just say kilobyte when speaking, and say “binary kilobyte” or “decimal kilobyte” if it’s not clear from context. I still (usually, but I forget) use the IEC symbols when I mean binary and the SI symbols when I mean decimal. The ex

    I’d like to know if I’m the subject of any of the Interpol notices. That is, unless it’s a Black Notice and it’s correct. Then I couldn’t really care. Even that one, though, if my name’s attached and it’s wrong that seems really bad. https

    I think people tend to have a range of scruples they expect. How someone is targeted is often far more lax on standards than who is targeted and for what reasons.

    The special hardware was actually just a DSP at the ISP end. The big difference was before 56k modems, we had multiple analog lines coming into the ISP. We had to upgrade to digital service (DS1 or ISDN PRI) and break out the 64k digital ch

    If you read my previous comment, I said it was largely the specific poor plugin that caused most of the performance issue with the database queries. I never complained about the overall speed of on-prem Jira. That was the assertion of the p

    My last company switched several teams to Jira Cloud. My current company started with Cloud when we moved over from other tools. Cloud does not give you the flexibility of your own plugins, your own redundancy design, or your own server upg

    Technically an LLM is a tool for extracting candidate responses to plain-text requests. Since (textual) programming languages are languages , they can create passable candidate responses to queries about those. Certain LLMs such as Copil

    In particular a place I used to work had a plugin for threaded comments in Jira. The specific one we were using slowed things down noticeably with the DB on the same server, but not too much to be an improvement in overall usefulness. Then

    Authoritarian governments have an interest in knowing where and how you spend your money, and from where you got it.

    It would be if castle is available, not simply if the rook has never moved. Likewise, the position of a pawn can be assigned the king’s position if it has made the double move. You know it’s actually in the legal file and in which rank it s

    I guess the odd deaf squirrel wasn’t likely to last long anyway. A bell could work to keep them from stalking. They can still run, leap, and ambush. It seems a bell should at least greatly mitigate the issue. I might say usually rather than

    The fact it’s the government who cares suggests whose interests the law is serving. Viet Nam is a pretty authoritarian country right now, and it loves the ability to track the activities of citizens.

    I think it has more to do with the phone being tied to an individual, the banking and spending activities being tied to the phone, and the government having some hardware attestation about how people are spending their money and with whom.

    Much of the world uses mobile payment apps instead of credit or debit cards. Some banks allow a setting that using a card can require a ping to the banking app for verification of the transaction. I don’t know if it’s legal to turn down cas

    Housecats let outdoors often don’t even eat what they hunt, because they have a steady supply of their favorite food in the house. They just hunt and kill because they are furry little murder machines. They really shouldn’t be let outside u

    Sadly for the Kurds I’d say they are still pretty good friends to the US, as poorly as it’s been reciprocated. As for the rest of what you said, no notes.

    I’m hesitant to agree offhand on accreditation, although you might be right. The residency system in its current form is terribly broken though. Something better needs to be available.

    This I think is one of the many wrongs perpetrated by “business speak”. People say “invite” for “invitation”, then instead of using “invite” as a verb they say they “sent an invite”. They don’t say “installation” and say rather “install” as
