To be clear, lots of evidence will be screenshots. I sent screenshots to auditors constantly. For example, "I ran this splunk search, here's a screenshot". No biggie. What I would not do is take a screenshot of a vendor we

I would never rely on this vs just downloading the SOC2 reports, which almost always aren't public anyways and need to be requested explicitly. I suspect that that compliance page would have just linked to a bunch of PDF downloads or p

The first thing you do when you're getting this information is get PDFs from these vendors like their SOC2 attestation etc. You wouldn't just screenshot the page, that would be nuts. Any vendor who you work with should make it tri

But how is this related to the internet being archivable? This sort of proves the point that URLs were always a terrible idea to reference in your compliance docs, the answer was always to get the actual docs.

I don't really see what you're getting at, it seems unrelated to the issue of referencing URLs in compliance documentation.

I think it could still be an interesting benchmark. Like, assuming AI companies are genuinely trying to solve this pelican problem, how well do they solve it? That seems valid, and the assumption here is that the approach they take could ge

The founder's mother is the only reason they're able to operate at all. If you want to talk about the VC I think you'll need to get more specific.

Regarding the justification given to the US, it was not just WMDs, from the US public's perspective. Large portions of the US population believed that Saddam Hussein was directly responsible for 9/11 and the US repeatedly framed t

This is a shameful equivocation. This is "be snarky, get publicly dox'd and harassed".

I mean, in the sense that they are VC funded and so I guess you can tie anything back to VCs? You could just as easily say it has something to do with the founders mother, who gave birth to them.

I call it "alt tab" because that's how my brain maps the keyboard. The reality is simple - I struggled going from Windows to Ubuntu about 20 years ago but ultimately made it to the other side knowing how to use both well. Wit

In this case, because I had docked my laptop, the entire window moved to a virtual desktop that didn't actually map to a real desktop. Meaning that the video call continued in a virtual desktop that I literally could not see, that I co

I've used multiple desktops before. I love virtual desktops. They really shouldn't be confusing. It's a testament to the bad UX of macs that they are. The fact that a full screen window creates a whole new virtual desktop i

I've been using a Mac basically full time for years now, due to work. It's easily the worst UX and it's sort of shocking, after decades of hearing "it just works" or whatever. Hidden windows, hidden desktops , obsc

My very weak understanding is that a lot of the C/C++ libraries heavily leverage concepts like inheritance that don't map well to Rust, and so a lot of the GPU work has been "how do we actually make this an idiomatic API?&quo

Yeah, I find Zed to be strictly the best experience for "I actually want a pleasant editor" experience. Using it reminds me of when I finally switched from nano to sublime as a freshman.

You vastly overestimate the amount of pressure a board can place on an early stage startup. The far more likely scenario to me (someone who raised VC money) is that the CEO likely looked at their run rate and decided to prioritize things mo
