I am sure there are Windows NT machines still in service. I think my Dad has one in his basement. Should Windows forever support NT? If they were offering an online service, then yes. These devices were compromised by WD’s online file sha

I would agree if't s a non-EoL products. This, not so much. A company should not be permitted to just declare something “EoL” if it is still in widespread usage. They made it, they support it as long as any customer still has it.

When I containerized MongoDB, Docker helpfully inserted an allow rule into iptables, opening up MongoDB to the world. This is crazy. Your network should have been on a private IP address space behind a firewall running static NAT exposing

It is such an obvious development, if not to replace so to complement. But perhaps there are challenges around it that are not obvious? You might be surprised how scant and expensive bandwidth becomes once you are out of sight of land

AFAIK, the "defund the police" chant was supposed to be in response to American police forces buying army vehicles and gear. That is not a thing in Canada In the UK they scream “don’t shoot” at unarmed police, whom they call “Fe

That doesn't sound like an unbiased removal of politics from the workplace to me. I think I would be out of the door, too. Why, do you "assume bad intent" and "make unsubstantiated accusations"? Do you want to, or

I always thought Microsoft would be a natural buyer given the tech stack and Microsoft's support for developers. The heyday of SO is long over and all the serious Q+A takes place on GitHub, which MS already owns.

When you are a consultant or contractor, you still have assess to kiss and jerks to take orders from. You actually have to work a lot harder at keeping the folks in charge happy. And worse, they can fire you in two weeks instead of 6 month

I would choose to be a colonist in a heartbeat, if the opportunity ever arises. I know full well I'll probably die there or even on the way. Life there is going to be hard work, and the environment will frankly never be as pretty as E

Assessment can never be done by non-experts. They do not understand the subject matter and cannot even judge which journals are good. It just makes no sense. The problem with this assertion is: non-experts are paying for all of this. Imag

Is UK police so dumb that they suspect people solely based on ipv4? The police aren't really interested in catching criminals or helping people. There's no promotions in that. Meeting a quota of number of arrests however, you&#x
