I really hope they can all decide on a better number which everyone agrees on soon. It's ridiculous having to look up each time if Intel 10nm is the same as which one from TSMC again and all of that. There have been some contenders, bu

Sure, but to me that just looks like they have no faith in the supposed quality of their product. If they really fixed MongoDB there's nothing to fear. Aphyr is harsh, but fair.

aphyr seems to still work on it, so probably just not that many companies who want to pay to get told the truth anymore: https://github.com/jepsen-io/jepsen

That's why I've added the last part. Mongodb highlights old Jepsen analysis' on their page ( https://www.mongodb.com/jepsen ), but they never got around to ask them for another analysis to show things are so mu

Thanks for mentioning GCaptain. Not my industry, so never heard of it, but that seems like an interesting page. Found this article which highlights one of the big problems in all this that no one talks about: https://gcaptain.com

Big Data. Knowledge Engine. AI. Blockchain. Crypto. IoT. The only industry more driven by fashion than IT is .. the fashion industry. And even there it's a close race.

I say that I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't implement it in non-dev, non-nightly versions if they made Firefox again today. But I know nothing about what the thoughts of Mozilla or the people working on Firefox are. It&#x27

It was for a while the only browser on Windows which allowed 4k Netflix and it was faster for me for a while than Firefox. But I'm still back to FF, just for the "we need something else than Chrome engine browsers" reason.

I cannot speak for Mozilla, but just from my gut feeling: That probably got grandfathered in and since people are used to it for a "long time" no one would change it. But if Firefox was rereleased today I wouldn't bet on it b

Regulations are the basis for legal liability. You cannot put someone in prison or fine them without a law that says what they did was wrong.

That's what we have regulations for. If the shops follow the regulations and have the appropriate certifications we know that the work they did is up to spec. Also, obviously in case of some problem the inspectors will check for the ro

All of them. Dieselgate? Rogue dev. Trains breaking for independent shops? Rogue dev. Some airplane going down because of bad software? Rogue dev. Repeat after me: The company is never at fault.

Even if we accept that we made this bargain: I pay for Dropbox. If they want to use my data for their shit they better make it a) optional and b) make me pay less. Also, I have a feeling this could be another case of the EU having to fine a

Search for "Project Panama" if your work has problems with normal terms. That's the development name.

Lol, really? BI is Axel Springer .. wow. And I always wondered why I felt iffy about their articles. That makes it clear. Into the "ignore this garbage" list they go.

There's obviously a trade-off between able to open the case without having to glue it back together - which is kind of needed for good repairability - and having IP67. It don't think it's even possible tbh. If you have screws

I'd be happy if we started with forcing them to allow the PC version run on any PC. It's bullshit that only some games run on the NVidia cloud (forgot the name) cause the publishers sued them. I bought the game. I can run the game
