A regular star has a significantly lower density. The ongoing fusion causes a pressure that keeps it from collapsing. The atoms here move chaotically through a 3d space in quite a volume. So your ball sits on too large a surface of cellopha

I haven’t seriously used an ORM for the simple reason that I find SQL simple enough to not need to learn an extra DSL to hide it. Furthermore, when I’m done figuring out the query I need in a Jupyter notebook (technically Google colab, shou

Well, the GP comment already pointed out they do use it for Photos search. Generally if someone is paying for the disk space to store your data, that’s with some use in mind, at the very least serving it back. Now, if you worry about some u

Most of the tools I’ve been using when my colleagues were writing the book are either gone, or half-forgotten abandonware. The new tools were built for different processes, system layout and organisational structures.

Why? The CEO of a company this big, no matter their background, has no business building an intimate understanding of the tech. They’re there to set up an incentive system to further the goals of their choosing. Neither seems to call for de

I don’t have the patience for any of this. But a friend has and I sometimes use the email service of their small company. Hosted out of a cellar, their own IP block, servers maintained as a side responsibility of an employee. Can’t remember

If PRISM is in your threat model… You can safely assume that any large enough US-affiliated web service, hardware and software manufacturer is in scope of something like this. Good luck evading.

Google is a company that, over the years, employed over a million unique human beings. In such a population you’re bound to find some that would sell their own mother for a promo. WEI is following Apple’s lead isn’t it? But unlike Apple, Go
