I don't mean to sound pessimistic but "Security in theory" isn't really secure, is it? I still have way more trust for Signal than I have for say Messenger or Telegram, but I've been burned too many times to take th

Surely you can do both, so you can still perform sane sorting/indexing on "real" timestamps and then use the extra precision string timestamp for drilling down?

The "product" part of MVP refers to something you sell (rather, offer) in a market, and the "minimum viable" part refers to it being barebones but functional enough to be "sellable" and provide value, ie someon

I don't understand how a blog post like this can garner, at time of writing, a hundred upvotes. Normally these types of strong statements "Don't do X/Don't use Y" are attention seeking titles with inversely pro

If you ask someone to give you an estimate for work needing to be done on your car, not only is it obvious that they will have to look at the car first, it's also obvious that the estimated cost and/or time may and often will over

I think the question posed is really odd, because race conditions cannot really exist as long as you only assume serial processing. I mean, the definition of a race condition means it's dependent on timing, which is an excluded risk if

Just for the sake of discussion, if we assume any general, generic computer process that works fine serially breaks in a parallel environment, is that really a valid argument for or against parallelism? In the short term, things breaking li

What has really ruined my trust for Boeing is not necessarily the incidents with the 737 MAX model specifically, but more the change in that company's culture that these incidents have made me aware of. I can recommend this video[1], b

What exactly is your point? That systemd "created more race-conditions than it fixed", as you stated, or that systemd actually does solve race conditions, only that it is cumbersome to configure it?

If I'm interpreting this correctly then the company is providing incentives not to unionize, which at least in my country would be illegal.

Maybe it's one of those things where someone mixed up the centuries. The page states "XVIIe siècle" (17th century), if someone somewhere mixed up "16th century" (which is correct) with "the 1600s", that co

I'm not sure what your point is. If you ask yourself what corruption is ; it's not a force of nature appearing from nowhere, it's a social response in a population to uncertainty, unmet needs and danger. So a country with a

What you're describing is "corruption" and no, it does not have any positive benefit. It's the system that develops in the vacuum from a well working state, because when there is a general low level of trust, the quite h
