If GRU agents use only a single hop to ambiguate their connections when attacking their mightiest foreign opponent then we don't have much to fear from these guys.

You are right, this is B2B. However, AWS is mostly used by large corps as IT offloading, which is not a business where IBM is a competitor.

My 16 years old will be pretty independent. He'll have a car and a motorbike. He'll be able to go out by himself, experience real people. He'll be able to work odd jobs, manage his own money, read whatever books and learn wha

Life cycle management, process synchronization, lockfree data structure, user-space networking... I can't remember the last time I didn't use a state machine.

I have almost the exact same setup as OP. I put close to no maintenance time in it. Adding all the extra configuration (SPF, DKIM, etc.) to let the world that you are not a filthy spammer is important, tho.

Hyperfocus is amazing. I also suffer from anxiety and, if I don't luge, I get the same experience as the girl in the video on a racetrack with my superbike. For 20 minutes at a time it's just me and the machine and everything else

Yes, however matter-of-factly while moving about the office. I did not perceive any difference between the Mac plugged in and on the go.

I must concur. With an equivalent vim setup and code files, nothing beats X11/suckless terminal on my OpenBSD machine. Comparing to that, even Alacritty looks like a slug. I must say however that things are looking a bit better in iTer

Can’t agree more. OP argument only holds if “value” is an absolute and objective concept and if everyone in the company is measured by it. It just does not work like that. It’s a simple maximization problem. If your ideal is science and eng

This. Where there is no ability to summarize or paraphrase there is no comprehension. We need to stop calling fast pattern matching intelligence.

I disagree. Apple has always made clear that information stored on their iCloud service were subject accesses by a third party with the proper authority. Whether this third party is US or Chinese does not change anything. Only the informati

That's the spirit. Let's make people un-hireable not based on their skills but on their personal opinions. 0% chance that that would backfire.

Managing large memory objects, shared or not, is a very commmon problem with garbage-collected languages. The solution of “hiding” the region from the GC has been around for quite some time for languages such as Java, C#, and even OCaml. Th

I'm sorry to have to rain on OP's parade, but this is wishful thinking. First and foremost because "best" is highly subjective and will not be interpreted the same way depending on whom discuss the idea. In practice, &qu
