Years ago I updated authenticator and it wiped out all my entries, which led to an incredibly aggravating week of account recovery. What happens to your data when google decides to lock your google account? Does your device keep a local cop

But yes, Windows NT was basically a DEC product. Cutler probably left because he knew DEC was dead. DEC: the brain was dead, but the body lived on. DEC showed how long a company could survive on inertia alone.

For a criminal enterprise, FTF authentication is probably fine. You might use PGP keys hidden behind a QR code or something that's user-friendly. But then you have the other operational issues with the cells, like what do you do when y

Any network of users that is large will leak, whether encrypted or not. People are social, and when push comes to shove they're more than willing to throw someone else under the bus. The question is, why hasn't anyone designed a s

Every relevancy-based search I've used pretty much sucks, so Kendra sounds about par for the course.

"we wanted to share 5 concrete learnings" Please just say it the normal way: "We wanted to share 5 things we learned..." And it is not concrete if the learnings are ideas...by definition.

Tokamaks have been asymptotically approaching viability for a very, very long time. At some point they just have to give up on the design, because it just isn't working. But I suppose as long as there's funding there'll be pe

This is why you need good people when you start: because good architecture is the difference between fast iteration and slow iteration. A good architecture will allow you to make changes easily. A bad one doesn't. It's actually pr

There was a post a few months ago about a developer who's job it was to rework ML stuff into actual efficient code. This reminds me of that post because it seems that lots of ML stuff is just plain inefficient...in that they use way to

That's interesting, I didn't know QEMU could emulate PPC well enough to run that. Thanks!

Isn't the problem that both CONFIG_IBMVIO and CONFIG_PCI are defined? I had to see what IBMVIO was, it looks like the IBM Virtual I/O Server. Although you actually fixed the bug, the other bug might be that IBMVIO is defined when

Finishing things is surprisingly hard. You have to practice to get good at it. I'd suggest learning how to paint. Why? Because a painting is literally never done. Just like software, there's always more you can do to a painting. B

Let's take a step back to the real question: is the developer upset because 1. they don't know how to estimate, 2. because their estimate is always wrong, 3. they are being held accountable for an estimate that was incorrect, or

1. Redis can handle a lot more connections, more quickly, than a database can. 2. It's still faster than a database, especially a database that's busy. #2 is an interesting point. When you benchmark, the normal process is to just

Well before nobody actually dealt with PDFs directly; they exported it out of FrameMaker or whatever tool they used to compose stuff (ie: print-to-pdf). Acrobat has always been a really bad PDF editor. I'm not sure why that is, exactly

Back in the day there were at least two programs competing for the role that PDF fills today that I remember: diskpaper and PDF. Apple also had one for its developer docs, but it was never released commercially, I believe. PDF provided more

If you're a cloud denier it's better to have tried and failed ("it didn't work because it costs too much") than to have never tried at all ("The cloud...it sucks.")

Maybe the problem is that staff wants to learn cloud because they don't want to be left behind in the job market. So everyone pushes for cloud, even though it really won't be a benefit to the business itself. I mean, what kind of

Well, HIPAA can be self-certified, but that probably won't stand up in court so most organizations will pay a third-party provider to perform the certification for them. That also lets you see the gaps, because HIPAA is big. Here'

If you think this is scary you should see how it's done today without AI. Doctor's handwriting is notoriously bad. Now try putting that into an EMR. Good luck with that! You think you're going to get someone who gets paid $20

What that really means is: * they may be HIPAA-compliant (ie: they fulfill the requirements), * they haven't gone through a HIPAA-certification (no third-party cert), * they aren't using services that aren't HIPAA-certifiable
