Seems AI-written. Doesn't give any justification for MacOS being better for older hardware than Linux or even Windows. You won't be getting updates for your Intel hardware on MacOS, so you're right back where you started with

Web software is incredibly simple. Having someone's ruby code doesn't really help you much. Hackers just try a few SQL injections, stuff script tags into all of the form fields, and call it a day. More advanced hacks on webapps ar

Most people will just update their keys, so I doubt anyone is going to burn botnet cycles on trying to use the keys.

Who said I was scared? I'm just pointing out that the phrase you used it very vague and some interpretations can be scary. It pays to be specific, especially in tech and medicine, you know? Winkyface.

I'm not sure why it took so long, but I think that lawyers dragging their feet probably wasn't it. I'm guessing that they would have never announced the release, unless the lawyers had already signed off on it. I think instea

Then you just need to find an angel investor. The capital has to go somewhere . The wealthy aren't just going to leave their money in publicly-traded stocks, they want some risk in their portfolio.

This. People underestimate how much technological progress has been slowing every decade. 2008 was even slower than 1998, which was even slower than 1988. Meanwhile almost nothing new has happened since 2013.

I was there in those days too. VB was a very beginner-friendly language, more akin to what we call today "low-code" than other languages. Those developers didn't have to "re" learn software development, as you think

The Windows team probably has laptops with high-speed SSDs, and tons of RAM, a fast CPU, and a fast internet connection. So now already with that, 13 seconds is probably down to 3 seconds, and they are probably also okay with (sometimes) wa

Woah woah woah, who said this is "secret"? Were you expecting a big red skull and crossbones to take over your screen whenever a phone home occurs?

This is correct. This also excludes contractors, which there are tons of in the Bay Area, and they make a lot less than a regular employee, even at places like Google.

Law of averages. If I am hacked, then likely millions of other people are hacked, and I haven't heard about millions of people being hacked. QED.

Murphy's Law in action. With this many flights per day, you need tons of safety measures to ensure that mistakes like this are extremely unlikely. Like "defense in depth", you can't rely on just a few layers of counterme

How does it do this? Does it cache changes and only write them every so often? Does it keep a file open to write uncommitted changes?

The sad part is, the damage this does to companies won't be felt for years (which is how long it'll take someone to take the stolen source code, analyze it, and make a convincingly-distinct clone), so companies will think that not

I love software engineering AND programming. But too often working "in software" involves neither.

There are knockoffs for a lot less, the author here is even using one. But then you aren't supporting the inventor of the thing, just a factory that's churning them out somewhere. Nobody asked, but I'll list differences I&#x2

I think that technical communication isn't the same as other communication, so I don't think it's a logical given that people "on the spectrum" would be bad at it. Technical communication is about conveying technica

Most companies either do too little documentation (they have a little page with the bare minimum high-level overview), or they do way too much (detailed change request forms for every change, which go into a file cabinet, and are never look
