Interesting angle: Compiler errors brings back math teacher trauma. I noticed Rust tries to be a bit more helpful, explaining the error and even trying to suggest improvements. Perhaps "empathic errors" is the next milestone each

It would be interesting to experiment with providing people only with a sundial. :)))))

Where I work, we have company-wide breaks between 10.00-10.15, 12.00-13.00 and 15.00-15.15. These cannot easily be enforced with external parties, but running an internal meeting over a break will need an explanation. What I noticed is that

This is great news! Who would have expected Cloudflare to truly contribute to EU digital sovereignty. On a more serious note, I'm surprised Cloudflare wants to pull out of Italy. Being a company which terminates TLS connections for Ita

Whether the claims are true or not, this was a very entertaining BGP refresher. It made me wonder: 15+ years ago, I was network engineer and we used quite a bit of "BGP community magic" to get the routing outcomes we wanted. If BG

Well said! I used to administer both FreeBSD and Linux (Debian) servers at the same time. I found them different, but couldn't say either was better or worse.

How about trying out legal solutions against browser fingerprinting? The European Data Protection Board -- i.e., the union of "GDPR Police" in each EU Member State -- made it clear the fingerprinting violates the ePrivacy Directiv

Can I also get the analogous code for an AI customer navigating the AI customer service to get to a human customer service?

That's what I love most about using ChatGPT vs Google for finding information: less bloat, just what I asked for.

This is really scary. It could have totally happened to me too. How can we design security which works even when people are tired or stressed? Once upon a time, I used a software called passwordmaker. Essentially, it computed a password lik

I work as a Data Protection Officer, which is a legal role under GDPR, and am rather unimpressed by GPC. I could whine for a day, but among the most problematic issues: It's not clear if "Sec-GPC: 0" should be interpreted as:

There is something about the "moving humans" part in the article that doesn't hold water. From what I noticed, dentists use fingers 4 and 5 to track the movement of the head or jaw. I saw no such tracking in this robot, with

I guess the dentist will simply push a few buttons, while a cheaper dental hygienist will do the comforting.

Sjunet also uses public IP, but never exposes those on the Internet. No clue why, probably it turned out to be the easiest solution to avoiding collision with private ranges used at all member organizations.

My understanding is that the members need to sign a contract to join Sjunet. I'm not sure of penalties, but being kicked out of Sjunet is likely an incentive for decent IT staffing.

I wonder how long until someone will simply smoosh a billion songs into a "large song model" and make all signal processing knowledge irrelevant.

In Sweden, there is a private network (Sjunet) which is isolated from the Internet. It is used by healthcare providers. Its purpose is to make computers valuable communication devices (I love how the article points this out), but without ex

The EU DORA regulation (Digital Operational Resilience Act for Financial Entities) has explicit provisions to avoid concentration risks. I heard a story that a bank was forced to use Google Cloud, because two other banks were already on AWS

It sounds to me near-impossible to convert C or C++ into as-safe-as-possible Rust code, because the original intention of the developer are missing. However, I wonder if some clever generative AI could be taught to recognize sufficient C pr

Why?

The proposed EU Cyber resilience Act positions itself to be a solution. To put it simply, vendors are responsible for vulnerabilities throughout the lifetime of their products, whether that is a firewall or a toaster. Thus, the vendors are

I feel offended that the author didn't bash GitHub and GitLab. The PM features are still small, but I can totally see how they will eventually become the next Asana or Jira to hate.

This is the weirdest video I ever watched. It's like Black Mirror ... but in real life ... and a somewhat happy ending.

I'm also somewhat skeptical. How would a program deduce that "cookies and similar technologies" will mean localStorage, sessionStorage, IndexedDB, etc. Remember that the law was written well before some of these technologies
