This reminds me of a bad vuln in Drupal years ago (2014, I think?). Alot of people think Acquia, being started by the creator of Drupal, has special control of the open source project, but at the end of the day they really don't have t

Gene Kim talks about Rickover quite a bit on the Idealcast podcast. This episode[1] with Michael Nygard has a great story where he shares a memo that Rickover wrote to the representatives that he had at contractor sites. (The context is peo

Doesn't matter if it's widely known, it honestly is much nicer to work with than Javascript and is being used as it is intended, instead of being a half-baked language designed in a hurry, to work in a browser, that got repurposed

God what an idiotic take, this had nothing to do with "smoking herb" they died from handling the fertilizer directly without respirators. Nothing to do with product contamination.

An example might be railroads putting a derailer at the bottom of a hill to protect industry or businesses. The derailer is removed when servicing the line, but put back to protect the end of the line industry from run-away cars. Conclusion

I believe they just don't market them there, probably not interested in confirming to all the different regulations for different markets, etc. I know some folks have imported them, but I don't think they are sold directly. I thin

This area of Ohio has been exploding lately, and within a few miles of the Intel site, are AWS, Google and Meta data centers. Microsoft just bought 200 acres within a stones throw of the new Intel campus as well, possibly for an Azure DC. N
