More than that it's outright stupid. Look at what the UK tried to do their contact tracing program through an excel file. They ran in to problems at 80,000 entries because excel has limits and the whole thing fell apart during the peak

Yeah -- he called it right. After her appearance on the Colbert show she started getting in to scamming people. Which was a very odd turn that I didn't see coming at all.

Because status pages are now pages that express politics regarding SLAs for executives and lawyers rather than useful technical tools for developers and sys-admins.

Sounds like the UNESCO was very consistent at least. Telling Liverpool authorities long in advance that the changes would have this impact and then following up on that. I'm not sure anyone can really be that surprised. Sounds like Liv

Hopefully this has a 'Veronica Guerin' effect. An Irish crime reporter was killed for being too curious by drug bosses. The subsequent Garda investigation was so intense and far reaching that it's estimated the the drug opera

I don't like this "guilty by association" trend that has become popular. Steve has a crypto-coin -- so what? That means what exactly? The implication you're making is that he is either knowingly damaging the environment,

I can appreciate there is a huge amount of skill and knowledge making a knife/bonsai but I do believe there is more required of both such attributes to be an astrophysicist.

Theres probably more Japanese making knives and growing bonzai trees than there are Japanese astrophysicists or computer architects.

That sounds like Japan. You could have lads that would have been destined to be astrophysicists or computer architects performing 'working class jobs' like making chefs knives or growing bonzai trees. Skills that are far more mode

Kernel Extensions are gone -- regular users would never care about this sort of thing but you can't use products like Little Snitch properly on Big Sur and onwards. Kexts were also used for making Hackintoshes -- again not something no

I don't think the defamation laws are the only approach to concealing corruption -- just one way thats popular in the UK & Ireland.

Coding is inherently difficult -- any tools even as basic as color highlighting/spell checking massively help understanding code in front of you. There isn't a hope this can replace any programmers but instead aid their workflow.
