In 1922, the Senate Sergeant-at-Arms deputized someone who then traveled to Ohio and arrested the brother of the sitting Attorney General after he ignored a Senate subpoena and was cited for contempt of Congress. The arrest was upheld by th

I'll add that you should look for the PLUS skus, ie SFN-8522-PLUS. They come with all the fun stuff. Might also want to look at Packet. They offer bare metal cloud servers by the hour, some of which have Mellanox NICs in them[0]. I&#x2

This is likely not true. You can't just sign up for FINRA exams as an individual; an eligible entity (broker-dealer or investment advisor) has to sign you up. And even if you have passed the relevant exam recently enough, you're n

The NSA doesn't need to know a backdoor exists in order to worry about one. The ME is infrequently exercised code with a large attack surface and highly privileged access. If you are security conscious and don't need the functiona

I was also annoyed by that. However he didn't include interest in his repayment numbers either, and the two errors roughly offset.

So then how do you manage the secret that authenticates an application's identity? And what good is the logging if after an application has the secret it can do whatever it wants with it?

The goal is to prevent garbage collection from happening during fast path execution. So the program doesn't need to be literally allocation free, just free of heap allocations during the steady state of the program. So heap allocations

Is profiling actually a good answer to that question? Profiling is very useful for improving the performance of software under a particular workload, but unless you have very good non-anonymized telemetry anything other than trying to get m

Some useful context: Zoom also runs 17 of their own data centers in addition to using AWS and Azure[0]. This deal is to run their "expansion" on OCI. Hard to say what that means exactly, but it doesn't sound to me like Zoom i

The confidence intervals are wide enough it wouldn't be very useful. If you sample 1000 people and get 0 positives, the 95% confidence interval is 0% - 0.36%. If you're the governor of Illinois, with a population of 12.67 million

It's far too widespread right now to successfully control via contact tracing and isolation, even if we had infinite testing capacity. The optimal use of testing right now is whatever produces the largest number of positive results, so

My firm (options market making, not exactly HFT, but close) has most people working from home successfully, but some are having problems with flaky internet. If I was the owner of a big shop I would probably want at least a skeleton crew in

I think you are correct in your basic assertion that no one wants manual memory management for its own sake. What they really want is sufficient performance for their use case. The benchmarks you usually see are throughput oriented, and on

Yeah, I think the Microsoft messaging would naturally lead you to that conclusion, though generally they avoid saying it explicitly. I think in a year WPF and WinForms will probably work great under .NET Core, but I wouldn't use either

If you were trying WinForms, the designer does not yet work for .NET Core apps. The WPF designer is supposed to work with .NET Core, but there was a bug in it in the first VS release that might have been the cause of your issue[0]. I also h

It's not actually permanent. Your bank almost certainly has the right to change it daily, and once their asset acquisition goals are met, they probably will.

If you want to know, it's probably in the prospectus. I'd be shocked if termination called for anything other than liquidating the holdings of the trust and distributing the proceeds pro-rata to shareholders. Even if something wei

The reducing missed cases of AKI from 12% to 3% stat was a result from the introduction of the Streams app into the AKI workflow. The model used was an existing NHS AKI model, not the new model discussed in the first part of the article.

Not only does submitting a claim prevent you from suing Equifax, the only way to preserve your right to sue is to actively exclude yourself from the settlement. See FAQs 19 and 23. 19: https://www.equifaxbreachsettlement.com&#x2F

Correct, in any specific case. But Apple's playing a repeated game, and any given customer is playing a one-time game. Apple can reap the deterrence benefit in future cases, but the customer doesn't really get any reputational ben

In any one specific case, fixing a litigious customer's laptop is definitely cheaper for Apple. But by having a policy of fighting legal claims vigorously regardless of merit, they can make it wildly uneconomic for customers to sue, wh
