My dedicated server comes with 2TB/month data included. Humans use up about 2% of that. If I didn't block bots I'd run out mid-month.

No. The risk of being denied entry to US and my lack of interest in visiting US share a reason. That's the only change vs 5 years ago as far as governments are concerned. As for co…

I've got a fairly new Toyota and I when I found myself needing a 2nd car for my family I ended up buying a 20 year old Honda and I have to say I enjoy driving it much more. I might…

People are selling those older cars at a significant discount compared to previous years, because they got banned from low emission zones - you need euro 5 for diesel and euro 4 fo…

Property managers handling municipal property in mid+ cities will want one. Any company dealing with construction waste disposal will want one. Both will have no problem shelling o…

Cynic in me thinks it's some or all of the following: - extract monetary contributions for their side of political spectrum from ai companies - extract money for personal gain - gr…

This is already the case in most (all?) EU countries. Government-issued photo ID is required to activate a SIM card. If you really need a burner you can still get one - there are p…

One that got pushed out by investors, which is good enough for me. No need to name and shame beyond that.

A CEO got entire 20 man dev team into boardroom and asked everyone to voice any concerns about technical debt, bad development practices, anti patterns as well as project managemen…

More often than not security minded people are encouraged to focus on things that get the product to market faster instead.

I suspect you mean register/renew: Depends. If it's something really high priority (like main domain for a large corporation) I'd likely be paying CSC 4 digit sums per domain per y…

They are not, but npm is uniquely bad in that regard. Refusal to implement security features that would have made attacks like this harder really doesn't help https://github.com/no…

7 nights is not nearly enough to get used to new environmental factor introduced in the study, possibly exacerbating disruption from sleeping in a new place (sleep clinic). n=25? S…

Majority of EU population. Even in US debit is more popular than credit in 18-25 age bracket.

GDB supports it https://sourceware.org/gdb/current/onlinedocs/gdb.html/AMD-G... You also get UMR from AMD https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/tomstdenis/umr There is also a bunch of oth…

Qualcomm doesn't bother to upstream most of their SoCs. They maintain a fork of a specific Linux kernel version for a while and when they stop updating it or new version of Android…

I'd agree if you could stick them in the containers discharged, but you can't. This means that even safer chemistry like sodium battery is still hazardous cargo.

The small handful of sodium batteries that are currently available retail all seem to have rather bad roundtrip efficiency compared to LFP and voltage drop starting at a high state…

With de minimis for US-bound packages suspended I suspect way more packages are inspected than used to be.

Similar three stages are also at every job you have: - you underperform while onboarding and rapidly learning to cover whatever skill gaps you discover - you slowly go from doing O…

Unless you equate web development and SaaS then no. It's the same in education, finance and SaaS targeting Fortune 500 companies. Source: most of the companies I worked or consulte…

This is not a "companies don't spend enough time with static and dynamic analysis of their software" problem, it's "less than a third of companies I worked or consulted for in the …

I was once told to stop wasting time submitting PRs adding null checks on data submitted via a public API. You know, the kind of checks that prevented said API from crashing if a p…

The time spend on hardening software is always zero or very close to that unless the company makes that hardening a selling point of the product they make. In the world of VC power…

To complicate things more HT performance varies wildly between CPU architectures and workloads. e.g. AMD implementation, especially in later Zen cores, is closer to a performance o…
