It's not the guns that are the problem in this scenario, it's the person holding it. If they feel like they can get away with anything, no rule will help you. And even if down the line you get your day in court, you'll still

That sounds great when typing it up on the internet in a comfortable chair, but when a few power hungry workers with guns are breathing down your neck in a small room you can't get out of, the rules aren't going to make you feel &

They will get a $5 wrench and beat you until you give it up yourself, per XKCD https://xkcd.com/538/ In other words: this isn't a technical challenge, either you comply and give them your private stuff, or you

That's essentially a more expensive (manpower-wise) and less reliable alternative to tapes. Keep in mind that what might be considered 'a lot of data' varies significantly. A medium commercial company here in west EU is going

The biggest issue (for me when writing about it) is that it's really hard to do this when most keys and values in any source or screenshot are internal to the company. I could go and clean it up with placeholder data, but at that point

I'd guess the following: if Apple is a company that is mostly trying too sell UX and seamless integration as a part of that, but has to break quite a lot of that every time an 'extreme' protection measure is used, then it sta

Perhaps, but that doesn't help with collision avoidance if commercial and private craft in the area do not.

On the other hand, the internet isn't just for young developers, and even if there are a billion other VCS options to pick from, the ones with the most traction are the most relevant. If you put "I can do Fossil and Subversion&quo

My advice: there is no universal services advice, therefore, don't adopt (or un-adopt) things just because someone wrote about it. At the same time: don't ignore pain, regardless if it's because you're too big, too small

It doesn't matter how little you need if there are big gaps in availability. Granted, having prepared hardware and sometimes-coverage is great, but the buck has got to stop somewhere.

I doesn't matter if your device had it for 99999 years and is therefore 'way cooler', what matters is how far along the GPS satellites are, and at this stage there isn't even one complete deployment, it's still bein

It's true that the System/* all the way up to z/Architecture aren't POWER-based, hence the adjacency ("mainframe workloads", "mainframe context") but not mainframes outright.

Considering this thing already exists, I suppose the goal here is that it's a bit of industrial design? Regardless of how it prints (be it the same as a ribbon-less Zebra printer), this obviously requires an additional device so instea

I'd like to start out with a "well duh". Specialised hardware is going to be better than lesser-specialised hardware. A transation-ASIC will probably shred the Power10. POWER is specialised for record-based operations, and is

You could, but you'd be reinventing the wheel. You might start with some snippets you copy around, and every now and then you have to go back to all your previous projects to fix some change required in new browsers. So you might start

It's because you can't scale up without modularisation and component re-use. This applies to pretty much anything. You can find this 'problem' in other languages, markup methods etc. all the same, for the same reasons.

I really hope this works out well, it's a very difficult problem to solve with a chance of making a huge impact. If this is one of the major ways in which we can get FOSS contributors funded, get FOSS users 'paid support' and

That makes sense. Satphones are probably using that same super low symbol rate used by M2M.

I'm sure the Apple use case is different from a web api, but it was more for illustrative purposes. I imagine most developers know how to wrap data in JSON and how to do a HTTP call over TLS. When using that as a point of reference, ha

Yep, similar value is found on other technically inept solutions that are mostly kept around to keep the license to operate active (since some of those require active use to retain them).

It's the kind of 'low bandwidth' you'd see with analog telephone modems. A single JSON request-response over TLS would take many seconds.

You cannot since you will never get access to the required data to make such a calculation. All you can do is take the company that provides the services for you at their word.

If I'm not mistaken, that is still used in some parts of the pre-Home Sharing remote Library and remote playback functionality in iTunes (pre-Music.. man, that's a lot of prerequisites). Remote events even worked across AppleTalk

Yes, but the App Store part wasn't relevant to what has changed in the world. The world around technology has changed. Not just on apps, iOS, AppStores or Laserdiscs. The referred tweet aged like milk since this is neither app-specific
