I don't know about FedRAMP specifically, but I have gone through several procurements for federal agencies on the vendor side, and have never had any issues getting a FIPS waiver a…

Most of the focus issues should be solvable at the library level.

Wayland has a separate wl_touch type that is also associated to a wl_seat. So that use case can be accomplished on a single seat setup.

Financer is probably not the correct word here. The common model around here is that an installer puts solar panels on your roof, and sells you the right to their electric output i…

The "before closing" does a lot of work here. It sounds like the seller made the disclosure when they were legally required to. This is pretty common in large purchases. First the …

Who says this will be a specialized adhesive? If it works as advertised, it could be a super-glue alternative with easy unglueability. That would be an attractive consumer product;…

1 player is enough to create tension on price when "don't buy it at all" is a comptetative option. By most accounts, Anthropic and OpenAI both lose to "just don't buy" when they tr…

Craftsmanship is not dead in other industries in the same way it is being talked about for software. Sure, that cheap desk that arrived in a flat box and got assembled by me and a …

The internet transformed society. That didn't save us from the .com bubble bursting.

Keep reading beyond the ad... In short, git has a 'create_ref_symlink' function that is replaced with a macro to '-1' on some build configurations. This means that any code which i…

The type of bomb people worry about for airplanes typically are not built to code. They do need to have some form of dedinator, and tying that detonator to a Bluetooth control seem…

From u/cupofmesideofyou > For anyone seeking a legitimate source on the bluetooth device comments: you can listen to the KEWR Ramp/Company/Misc archive. Keep the date set to 2026-0…

Back when I was in middle school, we had "digital typewriters" that worked fine, and was brought out far more often than the laptop cart or computer lab.

That still requires detecting when a misaligned load happens.

One time pads are the only solution that is secure from an information theoretic perspective. In practice, however, that is not important. You would essentially be securing yoursel…

I could imagine somewhere trying to make that the rule, but I have a hard time imagining that rule being enforceable. At least for US federal taxes, losses do not need to be tied t…

At 8 layers of management (so 9 layers total, with the bottom rung being non-management), 3 reports per manager comes out to 6561 employers on the bottom rung. At 5 reports each, t…

The negotiations that were occuring directly prior to Spirit's shutdown were not merger related; but a direct government bailout.

Why does any of this imply they should become a regulated utility? This seems like a textbook case of the free market pushing prices down to cost. Having alternative revenue stream…

Bankcruptcy and corporate death in general are important. However, the details of how that is managed can vary wildly, and not all implementations are equal. In this case, the bank…

I think the death spiral breaks at step 3. Financially stable and literate people do not pay credit card interest. They pay off the full balance every month resulting in 0 interest…

People are used to living in highly regulated markets. When they go to a grocery store to buy lettuce, people don't stop to ask "what regulatory regime is this lettuce being sold u…

That may be surprisingly difficult in Rust. We generally think of Option using O to represent None. However, it can actually use any invalid value of T

Maybe I just haven't worked in enough start ups. But where I have worked, there are a lot of things stopping that. Most people don't have access to any production keys. For those t…

The closest I am aware of is clippy (`cargo clippy` in a standard Rust project will run it with default configurations). Clippy is essentially a linter; and one of its checks catch…
