   It was a honest question, I was curious if, using JRuby, I could use ActiveRecord as an ORM instead of Sequel. I am not challenging any preference towards Sequel.

   It's been years since I investigated it but isn't ActiveRecord running in JRuby these days?

   Carroll's latest book "Quanta and Fields: The Biggest Ideas in the Universe" is about all this quantum field theory, and I think it perfectly covers the gap between pop-sci and academic material for people with some math expo

   For all the glory Einstein deserves as one of the greatest minds I find more interesting the history of this supposed "failure" in later life, but it's even more admirable his tenacity at trying to tackle the problem at diffe

   It does not seem to be currently possible. I guess they are working on it, this is just a first step.

   Most browsers except Chrome have some sort of vertical tabs support. - Safari (Mac) has a vertical tabs, but a very confusing UI, mixing Profiles, Windows and Tab Groups (only 1 level). - Edge has Workspaces and Vertical Tabs, along with Gr

    It seems they took a cue from Arc for the pinned tabs icons. Now they only need to add tab groups a la Tab Stash, Sideberry or Tree Style Tab, and combine that with Sync. Still a lot of work ahead, but this looks very promising. Kudos to

    Also, it's not like someone is going to be requesting to add emojis to these reports. It's clean, human-readable, it looks like it should not be difficult to parse if the case needed... so why change it?

    Yes, this is a good summary of the situation. As a matter of fact, I guess there were quite a lot of systems and services that went down even though they were not using Crowdstrike themselves, but some part of their cloud supply chain was.

    This is a good writeup, but to be fair it's just not a matter of banking regulations. Basically all big companies are under similar obligations regarding endpoint protection.

    Too many black swans the same day, I'd guess Azure is running Crowdstrike software.

    I think this is the correct move. The correct one (and I'm not sure if this is feasible) would be integrating the OS level LLM facilities. AS an independent browser vendor, trying to chase the AI trend mirage is like trying to empty

    I stand corrected, I had skipped the "Europe/Paris" and "Europe/Madrid" options that are present in the long listbox. I had assumed that someone from Paris would be confused by having to select the timezone &q

    I just tried it and the detected timezone for me is called: "Africa/Ceuta (Romance Standard Time) (UTC+01:00) Brussels, Copenhagen, Madrid, Paris" While the assigned delta with GMT is correct, this is confusing as hell becaus
