Re: If the goal is increased performance

quick to render one page but you have to re load the whole for everything you ever do without Javascript. do you remember that?

Re: To the surprise of no one

I beg to differ, people want their apps to work in containers so hard dependencies on systemd are very rare.

Server software that does not run on k8s would be a strange decision. It's certainly not the norm.

k8s will save us from systemd,which is the same thing as saying systemd was a bad idea in the first place.

Ideally software built for containers will have no depencies at all and can run as a statically compiled binary.

Re: Heads in the cloud ?

I suspect those numbers are pulled out of garters arse. If you are on prem with an open source db, or even in a self built vm or container in the cloud, how would gartner know?

If you have a website how do garner estimate how many dbs you have behind the scenes processing logs or even just managing your contact list.

I have more databases on my phone than in the cloud. That 75% figure means absolutely nothing.

Use of SSN presumable makes this US specific. GDPR will not come in to it.

Re: evaluating "productivity" data can shift power from employees to organisations

Today I communicated at the start or the day I was going to do no more communication, turned off Teams and Outlook and was far more productive as a result.

Re: It's not about clean or secure...

Fact is Huawei made a lot of money and the US now sees breaking thing as a success story. The article is depressing, the guy has a smug attitude to doing massive amounts of damage and replacing it with something more expensive.

That is the current US economic policy.

Re: uniquely fingerprint aeroplanes

silent doesn't help unless you are off the radar.

borrowing a unit from a registered/known commercial aircraft might work.

Re: More arguments for AMD, thus?

Probably not, or AC also did not notice that the mitigations do not have perf impact.

Re: Windows XP is still around in many places.

"all traffic to the Internet is blocked" worrying sounds like it's not airgapped. When was the firewall / router last patched?

Re: I can still remember how I was chastised

You can refuse a takedown request until there is proof that it's illegal. It was a Microsoft exec that decided not to.

Re: Pretty reckless

but this is nasa, you did notice they spent 7 months working on an upgrade turned it on and it "just worked" including backwards compatability with 1977 and hardware latency of 17 light hours.

Re: Linux and more

Best feature of rust, code and tests with asserts in the same file.

Re: bye bye 2038

Normal 64 Unix time is OK for most uses and easy for interop with other systems Inc browsers.

There are so many wierd realities of representing time in computers: better the devil you know.

I'm with OP. Linux has a 64bit time_t for ages, even on 32bit systems.

This is a xfs "fix" that does not use 64 bit time. It introduces a new problem as it fixes the old one.

Re: A new bug in 2020 ...?

mime

I'm with OP, come a long way, but, not all the way. It failed in 2020. I'm sure they will try again in 2030.

in the meantime, flimsy and unpredictable weather don't mix.

agreed, if you use morse code it is less distracting than Teams. And has more secure cyber.

Re: It would be fun if the Chinese Govt just turned it off

A lot of haters would take to twitter where Trump's remaining supporters hang out.

Re: Never mind

If you use Amazon, initially it came into the country via Aliexpress.

Re: "The data was, apparently, not encrypted"

Not sure what you are asking.

Maybe it was encrypted, at rest, but if the GUI is visible data will be decrypted before sending to users.

You can't encrypty all data in a db so that only clients can read it because then the db cannot search or index it.

Re: Can't blame him(?), it's worse than the 1st bubble.

The only reason anyone sells stock is because they think the money is better spent elsewhere.

Better spanking it on a party (even in 2020, the year when no one goes to parties) than leaving it in ServiceNow.

Re: "This means Linus Torvalds has definitely won, doesn't it?"

It's a Dominant Linux browser.

Webkit was a kde project. It was written for Linux and took over the world when Apple and Google based their browsers on it.

Naturally it has morphed a fair bit since then, but I thinks its fair to call it a dominant linux browser.

This is clearly newsworthy but Microsoft have done fsck all to make chromium work on Linux.

Re: More places for our USB's???

I don't understand why nobody makes a wireless USB hub.

1 small usb-A donglein the laptop and a USB hub with wireless keyb dongle, mouse dongle, headset dongle and perhaps a pen drive or two, sat next to a plug socket and/or 5v supply: out of sight.

Belkin made one in 2008 with a three inch dongle but I can't find one with a small dongle.

Low bandwidth USB 2.0 would be fine.

Low bandwidth WiFi and ethernet would be a plus.

Can you USB over ethernet with a rpi?

Re: Tok for Tik (sorry, I mean Tit for Tat)

Google was banned in China because they refuse to comply with the local regulations abd censorship.

https://www.theatlantic.com/technology/archive/2016/01/why-google-quit-china-and-why-its-heading-back/424482/

I don't think Tiktok or Wechat are given any such opportunity.

out at 1000

Don't beat yourself up. It's better to get out when things are getting silly, it's easier to spot that, than when the sillyness is going to crash. It's also easier to asses when a crash has gone to far.

free market

I don't see what's wrong with automatic buying. it's just a market for some tech tat where demand outstripped supply. This is the free market in action.

Many markets are automated and provide their function. HFT with Java Script and eBay.

Pricing necessities needs control only if the market is less efficient, but these things were toys. No more useful than tulips.

People should be happy entrepreneurs made margins of MegaCorp.

Re: Sorry, I don't understand

The magic of the cloud is you can turn off the bill. Its rented hardware with fairly active support, & clear definitions of what they do and what you do.

Plus economies scale.

Re: Orbit

Not necessarily a joke.You can hide satellites behind the planet if solar flares are predictable. They do this around Mars.

Re: @DrXym - Whatever for?

I don't think it comes with no support. It comes with no test suite, presumably because it's different to the ones currently used by Linus et al. If Paragon continues to sell its version, I don't think it is in their interest that the version most people see and use is sub standard.
