Unless you truly believe that interfering with the results of a free election is for the better of the participants of that election, no that's a black hat activity. There's nuance here since you have to think about perspective, n

I was mostly responding to this. > They are definitely black hats. There's a fair argument to be made that they're grey hat. On the whole though I agree with you and you shouldn't give blanket trust to people performing th

I can at least answer why reseating the cpu was an early response. Heat is one of the few things that would persist across full reboots and gradual heat buildup could easily cause these symptoms. There are a lot of places to check still if

Illegal activities done with good intention (and usually outcome) is what the term greyhat is for. It would be fair to argue that's the correct term here for government agency hackers but personally I don't have strong enough stan

A different and perhaps clearer way of putting what you're both getting at is flavor is not fungible. But more importantly when we're talking about changes in food production is sustenance is fungible. (This of course ignores a

At my last job there was a team of 4 or so people who had originally written some vb6 code that they were still maintaining. This was as recent as 2020 and since there were no plans to stop I assume it's still ongoing with, at best, so

Traditionally only the last output is known by a markov chain and when it comes to chat bot generation the output is usually one word at a time. The bot doesn't track that the last 2+ words it output are the same, all it knows is that

The whole point of the comment is that time outside matters more than what is done outside. I don't know the degree to which this is true but if you're going to watch something anyway, doing it outside instead of inside seems like

By level I don't mean experience or complexity so much as the amount of baseline knowledge needed to take part in a conversation. To use your example, the old hands are fully capable of being part of a discussion on the technicalities

CD, continuous deployment, is used to refer to the process not an individual instance like the term ATM. Simply saying "This deployment failed" doesn't convey that it's a deployment that was made through CD but "Thi

I started working as a software engineer without a degree. I don't know about apple in particular but my current job had a degree listed as a requirement but didn't actually care when I applied. I'd wager that having a degree
