Absolutely. Docker is a boiling mess of baked-in convenience workarounds (ie vulns). It's an orchestration layer (like k8s with containers), not a real security boundary like VMs. OTOH, single-purpose VMs are basically just as easy the

No, he's saying that licensing or additional regulation isn't necessary when torts get involved (and states attorneys general get perturbed!) These don't tend to utterly destroy an industry, but they are often successful in f

Except that, according TFA, even OpenAI obscured or didn't even notice some of the worst implications of what the agents surreptitiously did.

I get the snark (and slightly agree), but that's not really what GP or TFA were saying at all. They are saying that these were the least things we could have done. What you're saying is, "Your scientists were so preoccupied w

EU data regions are based on the insanely flawed idea that data is: * a physical thing that can only live in one place * not copyable * can be 'contained'. The whole thing reeks of bureaucratic 'best practices' that just

Is this hyperbole, or are you seriously claiming that the Jewish men who run Breitbart, or Jewish founders like Ben Shapiro or Andrew Breitbart, are neo-Nazis?

The issues that I have with Redis are not at all its API (which is elegant and brilliant) or even its serialized, single-core, single-threaded design, but its operational hazards. As a cache or ephemeral store like a throttling/rate li

Agreed, or even just start with sqlite for your globals and then scale to those later.

OLAP questions are usually out-of-band and preferably by a tool designed for it (like Clickhouse). Scanning all DB's is something that can be done in the background for most of these use cases.

> Don't do this What's wrong with that? Of course it will work fine; SQLite, with or without WAL, has a ton of protections against corruption from writes-in-progress, which is what makes hot backups work.

If that will fit your RPO, why not only do that? Saves a lot of complexity (and risk).

Both sides agree that America has provided at least $100 billion and possibly up to a half-trillion in aid and other consideration to Ukraine. That's a fair bit of money! And, if Zelenskyy is to be believed, it was a "grant",

Technically, Zelenskyy instituted martial law and cancelled Ukrainian elections, so although he is the undisputed leader in power in Ukraine, he's not an elected president. Do actual presidents show up in sweatshirts and insult their

It doesn't take more than engineers to maintain an open-source browser , though. Why does it have to be a company at all? Remember Firefox? Firefox was literally just an act-of-love fork from some engineers from a dead acquisition by

It's a bit odd that literally every single top comment is pro-Zelenskyy and anti-White House. I haven't seen a single thoughtful critique of Zelenskyy or his behavior on HN; it seems very one-sided and strange. (also interesting t

Complete legal arguments as well. If I was an attorney, I'd love to have a sophisticated LLM write my crib notes for anything I might do or say in the court room, or even the complete direction that I'd take my case. For some case

Mozilla now sells data, while Brave does not?

Yeah, that's an interesting question, because it sounds like a ton of data vs not enough compute, but, aside from this all being in a SAN or large storage array: The larger Supermicro or Quanta storage servers can easily handle 36 HDD&

Individually applied styles kinda defeats the purpose of cascading style sheets though. As someone who's quite conversant with regular CSS, I really did like the ease of applying whatever style I wanted right in the code without need
