How would you compare this to cloudcraft? Mainly about the multicloud support?

The way FB tracks non-users is one of the parts that bothers me the most. One old article I read talked about a "shadow profile" that would track you across sites, ready and waiting for the day you signed up. That way they would h

This seems like the textbook definition of market division. From the first Google result for "antitrust law market division" ( https://www.classlawgroup.com/antitrust/unlawful-practices/m... ) > In almo

That seems to be both an implausible claim and hard for a user to verify.

"observe wavelengths that have so far never been studied by humans" That's pretty exciting. Historically, every time we find a new way to observe the universe, we discover something that fundamentally changes our understandin

I'll take a minute here to plug Defold ( https://www.defold.com ). It's a game engine with a dedicated IDE for building games. The IDE is built mostly with Clojure and JavaFX. Of course I'm biased, because I helped

It's a very particular definition of "lazy".

Just imagine when we have First Contact and inform them that we've already declared their planet subject to the laws of Earth. And that furthermore, under those laws, they're not allowed to claim or own any part of their home plan

A couple of times in the past, I saw the pattern of one person as the VCS proxy for a whole team. Eventually I realized it was not because there were team members who didn't know how to use VCS. It was because individually-tracked comm

I think of the word "depression" as a lagging descriptor. It means there have _already_ been two to three years of low or negative GDP growth. Technically, I think it even takes 2 quarters to call a recession. But I get your point

Phil's series is meant for learning rather than production use. So sometimes he takes a "shortcut" in one post then removes the restrictions or workarounds later.

It's an odd definition of "credible" isn't it?

This reminds me of Van Halen's infamous "no brown M&Ms" contract clause. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/brown-out/ The story goes that they used this as a quick test to see if the venue manag

This seems like FB expects to get hit with a discovery process and injunction against deleting anything. It's housecleaning before they're forced to open the curtains.

I don't want to get into the particulars of this single wreck. But it does make me think that we're going to need some new laws as we adapt to a mixed use on the roads: 1. The self-driving car & its operating company must reta

I'm not clear on the parallel there. The article is about publishers buying "traffic" from traffic providers. They do that so the publisher can tell their advertisers "your ad was viewed X many times this month" eve

Why does the author refer to the site as an NGO? Is this in the sense of "Non-governmental Organization?" If so, it seems like an odd thing to emphasize. If not, what is the correct expansion of that TLA?

Precisely so. At least for the Intel machines that have IME features. So all the enterprise, data-center boxes but not every laptop. Edit: I read some more. It looks like this is going beyond what I thought and affects way more machines.

It happens, but when it does happen, people have recourse to a totally different system: the courts. I think of it like raising the issue up out of the system Corporate Management and into the system Legal Enforcement. It is patently not a

This is a nice step forward for developer experience. I struggled to get NPM and Clojurescript to play nicely. Ultimately, I had two different build systems at play in one project. (Three if you count Webpack.) It'll be nice to have su

"The Lost Viking" also appears as a game-in-a-game. It's an arcade console in the bar on the Hyperion. It is a playable 2D scrolling shooter that features a Viking (the SC2 unit) shooting through waves of pattern based enemie

I sometimes describe that as the difference between being "remote" and being "distributed." When you're remote, it means you are distant from _some_ central location. A distributed company has no central location. Y
