The Raku language (formerly Perl 6) community also has its share of idioms, abbreviations (not just technical) and phrases. I'm not sure if they are exclusive to this community, or also used elsewhere. Examples: In the early days, many

This will likely be buried in all the answers, but I'll try anyway. I've recently read this here: https://slimemoldtimemold.com/2021/07/07/a-chemical-hunger-p... It's a long article series, but

First of all, this looks super awesome, and at least an order of magnitude better than our home-grown solution (grown over 25+ years on a DB that is now mariadb). How well does this work when you audit multiple tables with foreign key relat

I'm sure Ukraine would demand reparations, as well as getting Crimea back. If Russia complied, and agreed to some international oversight (for example regarding their nuclear arsenal), I'm sure the rest of the world would happily

For a pretty long time I believed that many of the privacy and security issues in current tech could have (at least partial) technical solutions. This convinces me more than ever that regulation is necessary and, in the long run, unavoidabl

What are examples of good advertising then? I'm currently aware of one podcast (risky.biz) where I don't always the ads; they have, per episode, one interview with an advertiser, with the following features: * it's a differen

The meat of the article seems to be: > The experiments produced 59 megajoules of energy over five seconds (11 megawatts of power). > This is more than double what was achieved in similar tests back in 1997. the rest is an explanation

Wow, five interviews. Is that common? Unless it was clearly communicated from the very beginning, after the third I'd say: give me the job or put me on your do-not-contact-again list.

If you run a company that violates the GDPR, you might get sued and have to pay some fines. This is a calculated risk taken by many executives. If you then get a letter from the regulator stating that you were in violation, and have to dele

I'm pretty sure this is not correct. There is a technical necessity for your hosting provider to see the user's IP. The GDPR does not require consent for passing on private information when there is a technical or legal necessity,

The difference here is that there's a technical necessity for the routers to see the IP.

I'd say for requests that return dynamic data, a case could be made that there is technical merit for the client doing the request instead of the server proxying the request.

The reasoning behind this judgement is: The services (here: web fonts) could be supplied another way, so exposing the user's IP to google is not strictly necessary, from a technical POV. The user's IP is PII, and exposing it unnec

It seems the reasoning here is: the TLS handshake might have used an insecure TLS version, and so they cannot be sure that the handshake worked the way they thought, and so the certificates could have been issued to the wrong party. I don&#
