Ouch. How did that ended up?

Fortunately not a whole of of data and for sure with a little bit like that there wasn't anything important, confidential or embarrassing in there. Looking forward to Microsoft's itemised list of what was taken, as well as their G

Pentests where people actually get out of bed to do stuff (read code, read API docs etc) and then try to really hack your system are rare. Pentests where people go through the motions, send you report with a few unimportant bits highlit w

Indeed, which is what I was getting at.

The extraordinary claim that Ukrainian shelling of positions in Donbas is why Russia invaded Ukraine is what requires extraordinary evidence. And we already know that claim is nonsense so spare me.

I've invented plenty of stuff that 100's of millions of people use every day. Whether I get credit or not doesn't really matter to me. It paid for more than half my life (and those of a lot of people around me) and it made th

If you are aware of SAP breaking the GDPR and it's being swept under the carpet or if enforcement is lackluster given the scope of the problem then please supply some evidence. That SAP is large doesn't matter, what matters is if

Infrastructure needs maintenance, culpability only makes sense if there are enough funds for such maintenance and if there is an organization level compatible with the kind and scope of the work. I wouldn't make any assumptions about t

Russia has given each and every excuse that you could possibly come up with in 2014 and again in 2022. If you're a defense industry consultant I'd expect you to be more than conversant with the run-up to the second episode of this

Root cause analysis is complex for a reason. Separating out contributing causes from root causes is difficult and sometimes even impossible. Would this dam have failed eventually? Probably yes, on a long enough time-scale. Would it have fai

The price for that will be felt decades from now. It also tells you something about how the anti-EU lobby was financed.

Interesting. I routinely have 100's of tabs open on a 10+ year old thinkbook with 16G in it (they were only sold with 8 at the time but replacing the two 4G modules with 8G modules worked, 16G does not seem to work). Firefox has an abo

It bloody well should though, 32G is massive.

If you aggressively (and I mean really aggressively) block any and all ads you'll find that you can use that 15+ year old machine just fine on the web. The bloat is mostly in the marketing and advertising part of the web, not in the

Python software simply rots while you're not watching it. Either you make it a full time occupation, every time some library gets an 'upgrade' (with a ton of breaking changes) you get to rewrite your code, sometimes in non-ob

But it won't stop there. Why would it stop at some arbitrarily defined boundary? The savings associated with no longer having to pay programmers the amounts of money that they believe they are worth (high enough to result in collusion

2->3 has been a complete disaster, anything older than a few weeks tends to randomly break with some kind of dependency issue, sometimes requiring multiple installations of python on the same machine which will bite each other in hard to

I would be surprised if that weren't the case, but then again, it may have been arranged but it won't be acted upon. It will be an interesting time in Russia in the next couple of months, but this sort of domino stone kicking coul

Corporations are people, writing is speech and right is wrong. I actually don't care about what convoluted reasoning US courts use to reach their conclusions, they seem to be far more involved in seeing how they can kick the camel thro

If only Python would be able to really solve their dependency and backwards compatibility issues, those are really holding the adoption back. Though there is a good chance that even if they fixed those that people burned in the past will ne

I don't think he had a whole lot of options on that. But on the insurance bit he did and if there was any kind of pre-arrangement I would expect it to come out. And if it doesn't we can put that conspiracy to bed.

by mymac 3y ago
Yes, because Prigozhin would be so incredibly stupid as to not have foreseen that possibility and taken out some insurance because of that.

This plane crash would put the lie to that theory.

That depends on the kind and severity of the failure. You could have a full electrical failure and the plane would still fly. But when you miss a wing the rest doesn't really matter any more.

It is pretty wild that people can take out credit in your name without the issuer of the credit doing their dd, and then it causes you trouble afterwards. They should be fined massively for every time that this happens.
