You can run software on bare metal without an OS. The downside is you have to write everything. That means drivers, networking code, the process abstraction (if you need it), etc. One thing to remember is an operating system is just anoth

You would end up blocking every network then. Almost no one wants malware on their machine or network. Unfortunately, people get hacked and network operators cannot always determine which machines are hacked (hackers are not known for let

Wire-fraud is a United States legal concept. It's probably not applicable to Germany (although Germany might have its own laws which cover this issue).

I wish these companies luck. That being said, I would not recommend working all of the time to almost all people. Here is why: 1. According to Rapid Development or Code Complete (I can't remember which book said this), for most peopl

I am not sure what your point is. If Boeing went bankrupt, someone could buy them and the company would continue running. Also, Boeing is not the most important defense contractor in the US. They don’t make the F35 and they don’t make th

You are right that this is not an io_uring issue. I think you under estimate the value of anti-virus. Anti virus software is a good second line of defense. It’s not perfect but it will stop a lot of known malware. This has value.

That is not my experience. Every US company I have worked in spent a lot of time training employees to follow the relevant laws. I have even been on teams which had to do work to comply with the European GDPR. The message I have always r

Real life people use AI. A good example of this is the lawyers who submit court filings with AI generated legal citations. The get caught because the citations are fake (the case cited does not exist).

Probably because there are services (AKA web services, software listening on a network port, etc.) out there which accept arbitrary Parquet files. This seems like a safe assumption given lots of organizations use micro-services or cloud ve

I suspect that an MCP is just a rebranded API. We have also seen these sorts of extensibility mechanisms before. Browser extensions, Object Linking and Embedding, Dynamic Data Exchange, and Visual Studio Code extensions are all examples o

My last iPhone’s battery lasted about 5.5 years before it needed to be replaced. Replacing it cost about $90 + tax at the Apple store. The bottom line is Apple products do last and if you need a new battery, you can get one.

I suspect the moral of the story is devops and operations staff need to keep all payments, secret rotations, certificate expirations, etc. on a calendar so no one forgets to pay the bills. I hope the employee who forgot to pay the bill lea

If you want to pay for it, go for it. I suspect a lot of content on the Internet will never be missed if it was deleted.

A Computer Science degree does not teach you to be a good software engineer. In fact, you don't even need a degree to be a good software engineer. For 99% of the software engineering jobs, employers are not looking people who know th

I uses the business version of Office 365 for e-mail. It works well. I never have a problem with e-mails not being delivered or going into a SPAM folder. I am not saying your family did anything wrong. What I am saying is e-mail works w

I have never ever seen this. If your "friends" treat you badly because of your phone choice, they are not really your friends. Also, iMessage is not that great. It's nice but it is not amazing like some people make it out

Agreed - If you want good products, you should support the people who create them. That means paying. If you want a privacy destroying enshitified product, keep using "free" products.

OK, what products have gotten worse under Oracle? How do they compare to their competitors? Why don't people leave Oracle if it is so bad? Remember, people can and do move platforms all of the time. A good example is how the cloud

You had a bad experience with Oracle and I get that. They didn't treat you well. However, not everyone has a bad experience with them and a lot of companies make mistakes and treat customers poorly. The question is not did it happen

People probably continue to use Oracle products because Oracle makes a lot of good and useful products. Oracle is typically not criticized for its products, its criticized for its high prices and price increases.

My iPhone is over 5 years old and has not slowed down. When Apple did slow down phones, it was because the battery was aging and it could not produce enough power to power the CPU at full speed. Apple had two choices: 1) Reduce the CPU sp

If you ignore updates, you will get hacked. If you think a bad update is a problem, wait until you have to clean up a hack. It will cost more money and take more time than buying a new phone. My advice is to buy phones from reputable manu

It's still a security bug. Often, multiple bugs like this are chained together to create one very nasty exploit. I agree that this bug probably does not deserve a massive payout, but I think $3,000-5,000$ is appropriate.
