That is cool news because it's probably a nice starting point for osdev projects. At least more code to read :) I feel like the code was available before and I read parts of it but I may remember it wrong. Edit: Yes it was indeed &quot

The question is why? I want to put on my tin foil hat and speculate about Korean knowledge of Edge 0-days (maybe North Korea is known to hoard those for some reason) but then again if you have edge 0-days it's probably trivial to get I

To be fair, most crime/thrillers are formulaic and if you don't follow the standard structure it won't exactly be easy to get published. There's the basic structure, usually three acts and certain expectations the audien

My advice might be a bit odd but... Find a hobby and get obsessed with it. Let that obsession cut into your work time until you reach a normal level (closer to 40 hours). Ideally, it's a hobby where you can "advance". If you

It seems like in my daily life I use only three knots and then very rarely I use a couple more. My guess is most people spend all their life on <5 knots. It's a pretty fascinating topic and I like this resource. I use one knot that

True, just posted it as a data point. The salary from the article is for 9 month and mine are for 12 months so for 12 month the salary from the article would technically even be 142k. But I get her point of this actually being a 12 month jo

For comparison, a similar position in Germany entry level salary would be between 50k and 60k Euro (hired lecturer, aka 13-I) and an entry level base salary for a tenure track professor is between 70k (W2) and 85k (W3) (but they usually hav

When I was in high school I was in different Linux related channels on IRC as I was getting into Linux. I ended up on Quakenet, not sure why, because I'm not a big gamer. Looking back it was mostly the community and meeting like-minded

From what I understand, insurance companies were/are his cash cows so to speak. The simplified business model of an insurance company is to take the money customers pay for the insurance and invest it safely enough that you can cover t

Agreed. I was teaching from it (AI 101, search/agents, no ML) and it's possibly the best textbook I have encountered. It's structured very well. As an aside, I will forever remember the rough geography of Romania. I still pla

One obvious point ignoring all technology differences would be the license. I always like to have more options and even though I haven't used a BSD in maybe 5 years now, I'm still very happy they exist. I'm most fond of OpenB

The problem is indeed room height. I built my wall to the specs of the Moonboard Mini (they are available on their website). Unfortunately that meant I had to go for a 40 degree wall. I have maybe 3-4 routes that I can climb on that wall no

Maybe I'm very naive here but does SOC2 explicitly require monitoring? Can't a contractor simply sign a form that says all relevant rules are followed on their end and thus if that's not the case, the company is off the hook?
