In several US states, this would be outright illegal. While they're aimed at electronic communications, most two-party consent states require explicit consent from those present, and in some, the "but there was an obvious recordi

I’m not sure what to do except encourage others to consider, in the wake of the Snowden revelations and everything else, whether you really want Google to have all your email. And half of mine. Looks like this article and the one

I wasn't accused of communicating poorly. I was accused of lying about reading a text file and having some kind of ulterior motive for my own opinions. Furthermore, advanced readers are generally able to infer from "I am not sure

brotli is ubiquitous because Google recommends it. While Deflate definitely sucks and is old, Google ships brotli in Chrome, and since Chrome is the de facto default platform nowadays, I'd imagine it was chosen because it was the lowe

I did indeed read your document (twice, as I explicitly reported). I didn't address those parts because I found them better-supported. Instead, I addressed the parts I found confusing, and since your rebuttal here is just whining abo

There's no churn in a graveyard, either. Debian's not much of a treadmill on stable; it's famous for it. The justifications for bhyve over kvm are similarly inscrutable; you can simply not build the code you don't want.

Congrats on solving philosophy, I guess. Since the actual product is not grounded in objective truth, it seems pointless to rigorously construct an ethical framework from first principles to govern it. In fact, the document is meaningless

After reading that document twice, I'm still not sure why they based it on Illumos. I strongly suspect it's just down to the personal preference of the founders, which is a perfectly valid reason. This document very much reads l

That's what "technical analysis" means in the finance world, though... so, am I missing a joke?

This is a breathtakingly disingenuous summary of the article. I cannot imagine a perspective sufficiently warped to produce this interpretation a priori.

If you're ok with individual storage units as small as 3TB, then we're talking about a different set of needs. At that scale, whatever you can lay hands on is probably fine. Used tape is also cheaper than new. IA is dealing wit

The link to Google Doc is the funniest punchline they could have come up with.

unless tape, and the infrastructure to support it, is dramatically cheaper than disk, This turns out to be the case, with the cost difference growing as the archive size scales. Once you hit petascale, it's not even close.

This is a common use for tape, which can via tools like HPSS have a couple petabytes of disk in front of it, and present the whole archive in a single POSIX filesystem namespace, handling data migration transparently and making sure hot dat

All too common (not just with compilers) for someone to port the subset they care about and declare it done. Rust's decision to create standards of compliance and be conscious about which platforms are viable targets and which ones do

vMix is Windows-only, so I'd imagine the people it targets don't think about licensing much.

Even just spawning a thread is going to make somebody complain that they can't build the code on their platform due to C11/pthread/openmp. This matches squarely with my experience, but it's not limited to thre

The common thread from all the frontier orgs is that the datasets are too big to vet, and they're spending lots of money on lobbying to ensure they don't get punished for that. In short, the current corporate stance seems to be th
