America has been doing this for years. I recall a story from a few years ago about an Irishman refused entry because he'd posted something on social media about how he was going to "destroy LA". Ah, here it is: https:/&

Honestly, this reads more like someone who wanted to use C# from the outset and needed to come up with reasons to justify it, rather than an honest comparison of a number of languages and platforms with a view to selecting the best fit for

Not just Debian and Rocky, but RHEL too. https://access.redhat.com/solutions/7068083 I ran into this doing CentOS7 to Alma9 upgrades. The bug was in RHEL, Alma and Rocky and any other distro derived from RHEL. I had a

Oh dear. Another allegedly censorship resistant platform, and where do they put their code? On the most censored and censorable place possible, github. It's just one DMCA complaint away from being taken down, or Microsoft may decide to

While the text here doesn't strike me as too egregious, compared to some that I've encountered, I admit that I hate it when technical book authors attempt a folksy, light-hearted, jokey style. Why? Perhaps I'm just a curmudge

Just a couple of things: 1. Namecheap are the top domain registrar for botnet C&C servers, and have been for years [1]. At one point they were over 65% of all botnet domains. They didn't get and hold that position by being responsi

Not literal copying, no, since the two codebases differ substantially, but they can look at the code for what the other has done to see how they did it and they can re-implement it without fear of patent infringement claims.
