   I have one of these and I can strongly recommend it.

   Just because nobody has mentioned it yet, there is a file format called zpaq [1] which is incremental and journaling with good support for linux, mac and windows. It support multi-threaded compression and error detection and recovery. [1]

   I hope you are right; I see WebAssembly (or a potential successor) to be the missing gap in the ecosystem, which Java (as well as some previous small attempts) attempted to be. Since javascript (or ecmascript for the purists) now runs serve

   What issues have you experienced with PySide2 so far that is preventing the switch?

   I hope this is not a silly question, but does the schema in step 2 need to be saved to a file somewhere?

   Would it not be simpler to issue an SSL certificate for the IP address for the outer connection (kind of like how EAP works with inner and outer identities) instead of relying on a DNS RR?

   I am grateful that this kind of testing occurs for the benefit of end users. 1 in half a billion (or milliard if you are old English) is not acceptable with the speed that modern computers run.

   I am slightly surprised by the choice to use ECMAScript instead of WebAssembly.

   This article covers a lot of important points, but I must nitpick one in particular. GMT is not a timezone. Europe/London is a timezone. GMT is solar time which is distinct from UTC as a time system. The purpose of leap seconds is to t

    This is cost prohibitive, and I doubt most residential ISP's have the capability for this. I would like to have both a cable and a DSL ISP for redundancy but it's far from straightforward with IPv6 (and I have run IPv6 networks fo

    Just as a point of interest, sqlite is behind the geopackage [1] specification, which is a common format for exchanging geospatial data. [1] https://www.geopackage.org/

    It sounds like another way to get people to visit google sites. Presumably if you email someone who isn't on gmail they will get a link they have to open in a browser, and unless you enable invasive javascript, you will not be able to

    I never could figure out why Orkut did not see the success that Facebook did. Unfortunately this incarnation requires an Android or iOS app so it is a non-starter for me.

    At my local Mercedes garage in the UK they record the service on video for you and give you a copy.

    I have heard a similar story that existed in my company before it joined. It was a system that raised and dispatched jobs to engineers, and unless the space bar was held down on the master terminal, it stopped sending jobs out.

    I thought the same thing about PGP/GPG keyservers. They are supposed to be immutable so if someone uploaded a key containing a jpeg attachment depicting illegal content, the only course of action would be to wipe every server in the ne

    The cynic in me thinks this is already known and is in use by a "strategic partner" as a vector. The next version will only make it harder to find and exploit.

    I am so happy I pre-ordered one of these. It is by far the best e-ink tablet I have used for handwriting, and it is light enough to take with me everywhere.

    I wouldn't trust a burglar to install my security system. I won't trust Google to block ads.

    I miss segfault.org. It is still there on the wayback machine. It contained well written parody tech stories.

    For me, when the service works, it works well, but there are 3 things that really bug me about VM:- 1. No IPv6 support. Still. In 2018. 2. Upgrading is harder than it needs to be. They seem to show different customers different things on th

    It is very useful in corporate networks where you are not allowed to install anything locally.

    Not a problem if they are disclosed as per the terms of service. The issue is they are secret and the guest is not aware of their presence.

    You may have 5 engineers today, but what if you have 1000 engineers tomorrow? Do you start from scratch, or do you use microservices now in case you do grow in size?

    This is a big step forward for free software and another great reason why open source is better than closed.

    Is WebAssembly the new Java? I wouldn't be surprised to see standalone containers for running WebAssembly without needing all the trappings of a web browser.
