I'm conflicted by your comment. Against Ukraine's army ? Absolutely, you're right. Against a modern 2023 western army ? Their loss in equipment downgraded them severely.

Russia maybe have the numbers, but the troops and equipment they're fielding today in Ukraine is not equal to what they were fielding two years ago.

Sadly for Carthage, in that era Rome's main strenght was its ability to take aburd losses and then just recruit back a giant army right after. There is quite a number of times where they lost a % of their army / populace similar t

Think about what the code looks like. What you say about the log isn't true. A log is also the restore. The database must make sure that if it's written to the log, it's written to the database, and vice versa. Both for resto

It fine for a simple write scenario, but we ask a lot more from our databases. What if there are triggers? Those could do slower updates. What about indexes? What about foreign keys? Anderson what about hardware failure? A log to be able to

I can't wait for a "Mail" app that can't be properly removed, and keep restarting itself with the computer just to nag you to upgrade from the tray, like they did with One Drive.

I genuinely don't understand how you can come to this conclusion. If I open the door to someone and allow them to take picture inside my house, there is no legal understanding that they are now allowed to make and keep a copy of my key

In memory safety ? Yes, the language is much better at being safe by default. But it does nothing for logics bugs. The thing is, replacing from C (sudo or anything else), the number of exploit due to null pointer or buffer abuse or ... repr

The key is in "on the surface". While the common usage of sudo is fairly straightforward, you me and most people use like 5% of it. The trick is in all the side shows.

Advertising is one of those area where energy costs and needs don't seem to be a problem. It we could replace all "active" advertising display by e-ink, we would save an insane amount of energy. It feels like every bus stops

Agreed, as someone who needs to travel a lot worlwide, in cities where the hotel business is very active airbnb is systematically terrible. It might be cheaper, but you will wish you spent the extra bucks.

To be entirely fair, this is not just a macbook think and mostly a computer thing. My 4 years old work windows laptop is a dell xp13 with an i7-8something cpu and is more than enough for anyone who was ok with that laptop when it came out.

It's different becaue regular broadcast TV pay a fee to get the channel out of a limited amount of available spot, and then use that limited available spot to have higher ad price. Of course on cabled channels, they get part of the fee

There is a reason most adaptations are terrible, for hollywood and tv producers it mostly a name/brand, nothing more. They most often don't bother reading/playing it, let alone making sure they like and/or understand it.

I still don't understand. If people like a background noise while sleeping, they will keep having one, be it chill / lounge / etc ... Music. The issue will remain the same.
