I'm not sure how much of a "LAN" that would be but some telecom clustering solutions use protocols other than TCP/IP (some don't even care if they run over Ethernet or ATM)

As part of my current assignment I see code and tests that are 15 years old (or more), and I only hope that people who wrote this code have become better as software engineers since then. Otherwise there is no hope for humanity.

Reading about manifests immediately reminded be of Clearcase/Clearmake. My memory may be not correct after all the years passed, but configuration records for derived objects contained the same information as proposed manifests + some

In my experience any software system (not just operating system) after crossing a certain limit on complexity and age looks exactly as hodgepodge of code pieces thrown together, sometimes from different sources even if developed by one org.

I imagine that if a company really denied a customer due to disagreement on some views there would be similar flood of comments like "my views is my problem, I pay you money you must do business with me". Maybe I'm wrong thou

They got 43.9% in what Wikipedia marks as "semi-free yet questionable election". Also more correct question IMHO would be "was the NSDAP extreme in 1933?" and the answer is probably "no as much as by today's st

A thought experiment: Let's think of the other extreme as well: exactly the same excellent VPN service, is run by an almost-the-best-person-in-the-world who has just one small quirk that makes them not 100% perfect for you (they pat ki

According to polls[0] the party gets ~20% votes in their region. IMHO 20% of voters can't be "extreme" [0] https://www.svt.se/nyheter/lokalt/orebro/orebropartiet-nast-... (swedish)

This sounds a bit irrational. Where does "wealthy" start? Mullvad co-CEO donated ~ $500K, would him donating $100K have the same effect? What about $10K? What if a Mullvad _employee_ donated $500K?

I try to turn it other way in my head, like if Mullvad got to know somehow political views of some of their customers and say "We don't like what you say, so we decide to end our business with you. We don't want our infra to

The quote is taken out of context. The sentence starts with "Youngsters that are criminals - they should get out". And before "walk over corpses" he says that "they got swedish passports but have not become swedish

He says what is quoted when talking about criminals with immigrant roots. "Those [criminals] - they should get out, even if they were born in Sweden, because they do not have a connection to Sweden. They received a swedish passport but

From all I've read or heard about birth rate rise the measures that sociologists see as the most effective are: provide cheap housing and pay much more to families (i.e. mostly to women) with children to compensate for their loss of po

Works of Shinichi Mochizuki immediately come to mind. He is not AI but provides very good examples of math that is useless because it is incomprehensible by (other) humans.

In the RN for the latest release it states: Breaking Changes Use of jqwik >= 1.10 with coding agents is strongly discouraged. Jqwik’s output to stdout may confuse AI-based agents. So to me it is malware as much as the "rm"

Yes, nothing and the facts that these are government services, they use BankID and they updated their websites with "maintenance work" announcements for tomorrow, Saturday. For kronofogden.se there was no maintenance planned just

Knowing swedish people's mindset I'm not surprised at all by the breach. What can be mildly surprising is that no major e-gov service has expressed concerns on their websites. Only on skatteverket.se, which is Swedish Tax Service

I would guess that skatteverket.se, polisen.se, kronofogden.se are among those affected by the leak.

The Internet is _not_ for talking to people across the globe. The Internet allows that, but not only that - one can have a Whatsapp chat with someone in the same bus, this is both legal and technically possible. The bitchat app serves the n

It depends on the country you're in, obviously. I've been to countries where protests are illegal (even 1-man protests with a blank sheet of paper).

Any situation when mobile internet cannot be used. That is not only protests, but also legal gatherings, i.e. street concerts, or places where mobile coverage is poor in general.

What is conceptually different between prompts and code? Code is also not always what the computer will do, declarative programming languages are an example here. The only difference I see is that special precaution should be taken to get d

China has built their Great Firewall over many years gradually, and they have a lot of resources inside, so almost everything from the "western" Internet has a Chinese analog. Russian government simply does not give a flying fuck

If I get 10K and my boss gets 400K - our average compensation will be just above the mentioned 203K. But there are some small details, you see...

Nope, 15.7.2. Maybe there are some settings, unknown to me, that are configured by MDM and that allow for such behaviour - our Macbooks are managed by the employer and are intended for development, so would be logical to set them up this wa

To check I did this: removed the signature (LC_CODE_SIGNATURE section) using lief Python package (no affiliation, just looked suitable for the task), checked by otool that the section is indeed gone, started the binary - it worked. The spct

As mentioned above you have to approve the binary two times (at least), being careful the first time because the dialog popup offers to remove the binary. Also since our product has some networking to do one has to mingle with firewall sett

(I may be wrong here but) under the hood Docker on macOS runs a small Linux VM where all containers live, exactly because containers are basically Linux namespaces on steroids so not portable 1:1 to anywhere.

You very much _can_ run unsigned software on Apple silicon. At work my department has a bit less than 50 engineers with Macs (M1 to M4) and nobody complained that they can't build and run our product (using GCC from Homebrew, not Clang
