That's more important than it seems. Easier to forget, too.

A lot of people might say "latency" or "security": both are valid points but... What about the Data? on a native app I usually can SAVE data wherever I want on my device. I can even save it or load it from external stora

I have the same feeling, but after reading this report I believe big hyperscalers will survive the bubble when it pops. Now I've got the feeling they don't have huge amounts of GPUs sitting in their DCs, but rented for Opex. In ca

Several european countries will be governed by fascist parties, fueled by social media. There will be no EUexit because they will discover how to use the EU to approve legislation that won't be popular. Tourism in Mediterranean zone wi

Be careful about the culture. Higher management had a massive panic because "AI stopped working" in a product we make. They started an all-hands meeting. Everything worked except the AI responses. Turns out we just ran out of cred

Before reading the article I was surprised to find them similar to old german Sout backpacks. They are really sturdy and durable: your kid needs just one of them for all primary school (grundschule). They are explensive (not so much consid

Right now it is impossible to order cost-optimized servers in Falkstein, Nuremberg, or Helsinki. No matter if it is x86 or ARM. Looks like they had to buy _a lot_ of new servers and it was very expensive.

It was a great opportunity to name a unix tool "mcfly" or just "Marty" for time manipulation. Better luck next time, I guess.

This reminds me of Nortel Command Console back in 2000-2005! I worked for a telco company that had a lot of Nortel Passport devices (does anyone know what Frame Relay is?). We started changing the network from Nortel to Cisco. Cisco used te

I wonder what's the output of running 'hinv' on Irix. I need to recover my old Irix CDs and find out.

Probably the police wants to gather some evidence. The easiest way to block a wifi tap is to change the wifi password... or wifi name. Both things will be noticed by the eavesdropper because they will block the device *but* it is an easy wa

MySQL or Postgres are the DB of choice if you want a managed database in the cloud. Probably Postgres is there because you can use it as a queue ( https://livebook.manning.com/book/just-use-postgres/chapter-... )

I would pay if I can use Clip Studio Paint without lag. In fact, I will try another time this easter. If works, I will need to donate.

One of the reasons behind the dollar strength is that the US has a huge population. Even if the central bank might does a bad job and make a mess of the economy, the activity of 350 million people is hard to ignore. Is it enough to _fully

Not just Amazon - I guess the Oil and gas industry is now run on the cloud. They used to have big SGI machines 30 years ago... but I bet everything is on the cloud now using GPUs.

For me the only reason to keep windows 11 is Clip Studio Paint doesn't work yet in Linux... I use it mostly on my Android tablet BUT I want to have an alternative in case something is easier on a computer

But in the other hand you don't have to worry about mass shootings. You can freely walk (mostly) wherever you want without risking your life (that is not normal in most of the world). And you're not going bankrupt because of a min

Until now nobody thought it was a problem. At least not a big one. The EU made some moves to define a "cloud computing" platform for Europe, and very little people paid attention because business-wise it was very difficult to comp

In Spain you need to be ENS-certified (esquema nacional de seguridad) in order to provide services to the goverment. Nowadays it is similar / aligned to NIS2 certification. But you need to certify more than just apps. Processes are m

We started with PGVector just because we already knew Postgres and it was easy to hand over to the operations people. After some time we noticed a semi-structured field in the prompt had a 100% match with the content needed to process the p

That's the point: how can you tell WHEN you are going to reach a place you've never been before traveling an uncertain path? Making mistakes over and over again. And adding a lot of time buffers just to be safe

My fault: I just compiled the instruction with an assembler instead of looking up the actual instruction from documentation. It makes much more sense: resetting ax, and bc (xor ax,ax ; xor bx,bx) will be 4 octets, DWORD aligned, and a bit f
