Good news: we're implementing them widely and in all eu countries.

A link would be helpful, but at face value: of course old code vulnerabilities are still a problem. Vulnerabilities in old code make the headlines all the time.

99.99+% SLA typically means you get some billing credits for the downtime exceeding 99.99+ availability. So technically do get a "99.99+% SLA", but you don't get 99.99+% availability. Other circles use "SLO" (where

The status tells a story about a high-availability/clustering system failure so I think in this case the problem is rather the complexity of the HA machinery hurting the system's availability vs something like a simple VPS.

On my Linux desktop the default cap seems[1] to be ~32k. See eg https://www.baeldung.com/linux/max-threads-per-process for some runtime sysctl knobs if you want to go higher than the default limits. (Though the section

Reading this my first reaction was that my questions still holds. Unless the slowness of the LLMs is of such a magnitude that having a thread or process waiting on the API call would substantially increase its cost, which I guess would mean

Indeed it says "It enhances performance in areas where tasks are waiting for IO to complete by allowing the CPU to handle other tasks in the meantime". To restate my comment: I argued (1) this CPU cost would be very marginal compa

(Disclaimer: I haven't used Django in a long time) Can you expand more on why these AI cases make the complexity tradeoff different? I'd imagine think waiting on a 3rd party LLM API call would be computationally very inexpensive c

The nation state as a threat model adversary is kind of a weird abstraction. Does it include intrusive questions eg about social media asked by a border agent on your next trip abroad? Does it include getting your web browsing traffic colle

At least in the post context there's still time to fix "Golang".

That's slowish, bottlenecking disk based IO. (yes you can improve it with dd options, if you are versed in the language...)

There's no container support on macOS unfortunately, except for the frontends for linux virtual machines. (Well they do have a thing called containers, but it's a desktop app security/sandboxing feature that does something co

How is the graphics/desktop performance in VMs, do you get accelerated graphics with NixOS?

The likely scenarios I was thinking (setenv vs execve) would both be called in the child process after fork. But of course here we get to the fascinating world of fork interactions with threads, and you could even have one thread fork()ing

Environment variables are per-process, but inherited by child processes (not system wide). So when you start other programs you often set up env vars for them, or clear env vars that were used by your parent process to not inadvertantly per

It's an interesting parallel development that people are complaining about the bad original language on both JS and JVM platforms and often using other languages (Kotlin, TypeScript, Clojure/ClojureScript, etc). I guess even Swift

Not arguing that, these langugaes just use the alphabet differently. I was mainly reacting to the "speakers of every other language that uses the Latin alphabet" part to give some counterexamples.

Latin alphabet using languages that do it similarly as nordics: german, dutch, czech, polish, hungarian, latvian, etc. Also the international phonetic alphabet.

It's weird how many orgs keep their apps unavailable, as lots of users decline to submit to Play store preconditions (link phone to a Google account).

Interesting history on that ticket. Closed as "invalid" 7 years ago, reopened 10 months ago, and 6 months ago added as non-default option to git (but not released yet?). I wonder what the downsides would be in enabling this by def

Check out eg this paper about the OS: https://cseweb.ucsd.edu/~voelker/cse221/papers/qnx-paper92.p... Yes it has some source-level Unix compatible app-facing interfaces, but we don't call the Steam OS&#x

It seems to me that there's not a big difference in nr of files. You can have a single template in CF or Terraform files and similarly you can split your CDK code in many files, or not. (For bigger stuff apparently CF has some limits r

Why's everyone going away from declarative? Terraform, CloudFormation, AWS Copilot etc have a lot of virtues and are programming language agnostic. Using a complex programming language (C++ of the browser world) just for this has a big

The metric was "who sells most now" so the long product life doesn't directly affect it. Lead times can be longer than desktop but not years.

Microsoft could have been broken up without Apple being kept alive by MS to be the also-ran.
