You can’t really separate the IDE from the language because so much of final binary could only be expressed from the IDE. This was something VB.NET fixed but was also why VB.NET was (in my opinion) a failure. Having that complexity shifted

This is where good leadership in the dev team is needed. Is the improvement likely to reduce maintenance overhead (and thus cost)? Or improve performance allowing for fewer services running (and thus reducing cost)? Or reduce bugs that forc

That “kick ass & chew gum” line has been hugely borrowed, reused and parodied many times throughout the following decades since the release of this movie. In fact the whole movie is almost a parody of itself now due to how many scenes h

Ah thanks for the explanation. It’s been a long long time since I’ve delved this deeply into the topic.

Couldn’t the MITM ssh server just forward the client’s fingerprint to the legitimate server? If so, the legitimate server wouldn’t have anything in their logs that would help detect such an attack. OpenSSH does log other telemetry though.

I’m not sure why you’re asking this question, but you can run a country as a population of 1 (ie just yourself) if you wanted. The problem being raised isn’t due to the size of the country though. It’s the size of the company (ie Apple and

I don’t know what pre-builts you’ve seen, but when I bought 2 middle-range laptops 5 years ago, all the models were between 500GB to 1TB of storage. And it’s not a trap when most people aren’t going to fill 5TB of storage with their account

by hnlmorg 6mo ago
A full decade is a bit of an exaggeration. Not just in terms of storage capacity but especially when you consider than switching from HDDs to SSDs was a massive leap in performance for PCs and laptops.

by hnlmorg 6mo ago
This was mostly an Apple problem. 1TB SSDs were dirt cheap until the last 6 months when AI bought them all up.

To the people who downvoted me, care to explain what was factually incorrect? I get there’s a lot of hysteria around Gen ai but as someone who’s worked in publishing I can tell you I’m not in the wrong here.

The social media problem isn’t going to be solved by treating it like cigarettes. It’s solved by teaching kids how moderate their use of it. And that only comes with practice. So banning it for children and then expecting them to use it res

Using AI to generate an image isn’t any different to embedding a generated meme or grabbing a stock photo. Plus the image isn’t even part of the article content. It’s ostensibly just a front cover to it. I’m sure you’ve heard the saying “do

by hnlmorg 6mo ago
The problem isn’t the use of AI. It’s the lack of editorial effort to use AI well . Modern image generation models can handle text fine. Or the author could have left those artefacts blank and added the text themselves in “post production”

Haha wow you weren’t kidding. That image is so bad that it looks like it was generated using 3 year old models. The computer screen I can forgive, but if they author genuinely doesn’t have access to modern image generation tools then they c

Again, you’re talking about things in a Boolean state. Our kids have access to social media, but we also know what they have access to because we check their phones periodically. This is a far better approach than an “all or nothing” approa

You didn’t need to know any that because the GP literally referenced London in their comment.

London isn’t exactly a small “local place” and there is only one Richmond Hill in London. So I’m not sure what the issue you’re having is.

Children have always found ways to access age restricted consumables. Whether that was porno mags, alcohol or cigarettes. They’d just get an older sibling, or stranger to buy it. Or they’d have a fake ID. Or they’d just steal it from a fami
