Pretty sure Intel would be happy to apply a level of indirection through external contractors to get this done either way. That's the world we live in. I don't see how engineers at Intel would risk antagonising whoever dreamt this

Thank you for pointing this out. A lot of the media coverage around Google's policy update skips mentioning the exceptions.

Before you think of this as a favorable option, I do recommend you keep in mind that this is Oracle trying to gain traction. After moving to Oracle Cloud to use their Free Tier for my personal blog, I got this email from them back in April,

With all this talk of ChatGPT clearing law school exams and all, I'd love to see a legal fight of lawyers armed with AI against "googles lawyers". I believe that'd be a net good. For everyone else in tech, I suppose we c

One of 3 books selected ended being served up as a recommendation. Seems like low hanging fruit to filter it out. EDIT: The recommendations still feel less like AI and more like k-means clustering.

AI would likely be a first-class participant or citizen in any early human colony in space. Our perception of risk-to-civilization changes significantly for off-world events. Just like the plan to build nuclear reactors on the Moon, the thr

Spammers are possibly trying to take advantage of npmjs.com domain's high Google rank. I found and reported this spam account [1] with links to download movies. They seem to be using npmjs as a free web host with good SEO. [1] https:&

Base images are already available on different container image hosting platforms. For instance, ubuntu is here [1] on Amazon ECR. So it's matter of updating Dockerfiles to use them. There again there's the question of finding imag

Docker images are often tied to CI runs. So a Github action is configured to "bake" a docker image that saves the image to Github Container Registry and a CI platform is triggered to pull the image and run tests immediately therea

Where do you host the base images? Someone's footing that bill or are you paying for it?

In its weird death spiral, if Docker Inc. were to be bought out by Microsoft, I shudder to think how much of the dev ecosystem would yet again depend on Microsoft's good graces to shoulder the burden of storage and data transfer costs

Stuff like this terrifies me. I'm personally reaching a point where I'm considering investing in an offline NAS with a RAID array and replacing disks every few years to be safe (or based on SMART tests). Imagine uploading all your

Flatseal is only a convenience. I think you'll find that the flatpak CLI [1] has commands to do everything Flatseal does, albeit in an arguably unwieldy way. [1] https://docs.flatpak.org/en/latest/flatpak-comm

Docker Hub does host images running into several GBs for even small hobby projects, and they also bear network transfer costs. Even with podman, you're going to have to host your images somewhere, right? Right now, the internet infrast

Just want to thank you for your work. The fact that the project is still going strong and with only a few other viable OSS alternatives shows how valuable it is. Every other project in this space lacks something.

It's a bit of a stretch to claim "discrimination" based on the current volume of approved applicants and country-of-birth queues. A policy would have to take into consideration past approvals as well. If you go by past approv

Can this really be termed as immigration discrimination? If everyone who applied magically got their green cards today, would it be a fair distribution? The issues they and their families face are totally valid, but surely they apply to a l
