> I'm a cloud proponent because it means not having to sit through hours of meetings to deploy a $5/mo virtual machine. And endless orgies of "call for pricing" with hardware vendo…

That is not really a difference, you may as well lease your server farm in the basement, practically the same cost as buying it, just as a monthly payment with the supposed "advant…

> No. Passkeys can't be phished, passwords can. Passkeys can't be cracked after a data breach. Passwords can. Passkeys can't be set to something easily guessable. Passwords can. Pa…

For an end-user, reliability and ease-of-use trump security. Passkeys are imperfect in the wrong places imho.

Amnesty International is primarily an advertisement and donation collection business. Most of your donations go straight into advertisements and collecting more donations. Collecto…

Yeah. Except if the usual Qualcom spy chips (also available in Google Pixel) phone home all your biometrics...

Those passkeys are either insecure or unreliable. Let me explain: Those passkeys are asymmetric cryptographic keypairs where the private key is securely stored on a device, unlocka…

Actually I'd see a future where some of those password killers might replace passwords, even for some of the under-funded, under-manned applications out there. What is necessary is…

Actually, there is no "folding in good faith" in such like cases. A company is bankrupt if a point in time can be foreseen, where the company can no longer pay its debtors (employe…

This is assuming the LNT (linear no threshold) model of radiation damage is true. Which it probably isn't. Lower than predicted deaths from accidents such as Windscale/Sellafield a…

No written contract (over here) is sometimes a very nice thing in those kinds of situations, because then some very employee-friendly default terms do apply (unlimited contract tim…

Yes, but actually no: I was tempted to include it but didn't. The one big argument for bash and sh is ubiquity and compatibility. Perl also has those. Python is somewhat lacking in…

Easier, lightweight syntax for shell-like pipes, command execution and catching stdin/stdout/stderr. Something like Perl's IPC::Run. Also, more shell-relevant stuff in the default …

If you are at this level of required complexity as in those examples, you should use a proper programming language, not shell. Half those snippets fail with spaces in the wrong pla…

As it seems by getting rid of all the industry.

Anti-nuclear-people have mostly been a vocal minority. However, due to mostly anti-science reporting and irresponsible media-spread panic after Czernobyl and Fukushima, there have …

Whats even more stupider, burning coal emits more radioactivity into the atmosphere than all nuclear accidents ever have...

2 of the 3 currently governing parties made up the coalition that first decided to end nuclear back in 2001. The later conservative Merkel government just first extended reactor li…

Exiting nuclear was once according to then-current public sentiment. Problem is, all governments in the last 30 years have been populist power-hungry careerists without any regard …

Currently mostly coal (mostly lignite) with a little imported LNG for base load and peaks. Wind and solar if available. Rest is imported nuclear, coal and other power from neighbor…
