FWIW I guess it depends on how good of a history teacher you had. This was back in the 80s at a US public school in a part of the country with a very large Irish immigrant population, but I learned about why the Irish depended on potatoes (

No one hires for devops security. In the largest of FAANG orgs there will be 50-100 regular devops, app sec, and security engineering roles for every devsecops role. There is an expectation that security be integrated into these other roles

NYC should do what my London borough has done and turn every streetlight pole into an EV charging station. A fast update to the pole, an attachment that is about the size of a paperback book, and instant charging station. That is what allow

I guess I can see that but I think the combinations in some of these are making something that is much more significant than the sum of its individual components. If we are looking for bullet list items that have been changed or advanced in

This is also a first step into taking a big bite out of this (niche) market by Apple. As you note, everything now is very veritcal. You pick your computer and then you are locked in to its app, its cloud, and its air integrated units. Now t

No, nor are there any generic air integrated Bluetooth units available at the moment but I expect that to change quickly. A smart play for Apple as the cost of a low-end rec dive computer makes this almost a no-brainer for anyone already in

What gave USB NICs a bad reputation in the SBC community is that before the RPi4 the USB bus was USB 2.0 (the RPi4 has a USB 3.0 bus) and this meant that the max speed was 480 MBps if the NIC consumed the entirety of the bus. A USB NIC woul
