   So we circle back to app servers like Java EE WAR/EAR stuff.

   Good luck solving Google's reCAPTCHA, it is nightmare if you have no tracking history. I think currently FF Containers is a best way in UX terms to isolate stuff. I agree with you that web extensions is still a grey area, pity they can

   I think it has changed since Moore's law pretty much stalled on single core. Windows 10 runs fine on old Core 2 Duo with 4GB RAM and SSD.

   Maybe USDT keeps reserves in BTC. But anyway, in panic moment on crypto markets the real USD will be in demand. Some exchanges may not survive the run as there is not enough money there to pay everyone even $1k for BTC. Exchanges collapsing

   Ok here is a puzzle: is there any electricity provider who accepts BTC? BTC runs on fiat money.

   As you already use GNU diff's `-N` then you can pass any non existing as the first directory: diff -urN /dev/null-non-existing-dir dir1 > x.diff Or use `mktemp -d`. It is still cheaper than investing into some nic

    Most animals can feed on wild grasses which we can't digest. They can serve us with a lot of resources and stay alive too (milk, wool, eggs). But if the event is so severe that even grass is gone, then rats are left and canibalism.

    AI? Much overused buzzword these days. Don't we have metaheuristics (genetic algorithms etc.) which already do exactly what the article states as novel?

    Please not. Such projects are essential for historical preservation. Shall we let C64, Atari die too and stop improving emulators?

    > Even if these removals are temporary, they can still hurt growth. I don't think so. A lot of people were not aware of Matrix even, it's geek tech. Now, just watch how this Streisand effect unfolds over the weekend.

    It is not meaningless, but agreed not something for mass use yet. Similarly like 30-40 years ago with personal computing, now also geeks start the paradigm shift into privacy-aware computing.

    That is quite interesting OSS funding method - charge for legacy patches and support which no-one else would provide. Although it is likely boring venture, but that is the price.

    5.10.x kernels are very stable and feature complete with AMD Ryzen Renoir - I update one almost weekly once new patch version is out on Ubuntu Kernel PPA. Here is nice script which makes the update trivial: https://github.com&#x2

    Well, I suppose back then Google’s and Amazon’s risk tolerance was different. What would be an impact of bit flip in repeatable crawling and search results vs product listing and atomic financial transactions?

    Some derisking solution may be wrapping your web app as native client. E.g. Electron app is Chrome technically but you get more control over its settings. I know Microsoft (SmartScreen) and Apple may block apps for many reasons too but at l

    I see some 24 pin "magnetic usb-c" adapters with 100W PD and TB3 compatibility on Amazon/Aliexpress. They need an existing cable so likely they just pass-thru cable capability discovery to an existing chip. Apart of some wear
