Low to average reliability is fine if the service is cheap, and if that avoid the need for backup diesel generators in datacenters.
I doubt this applied to Github:
Microsoft to use diesel-fired generators as backup power for data centers
Separating data structure from implementation has benefits.
In languages with classic OOP classes and objects, it’s often necessary to write wrappers or adapters to allow new operations on existing objects. This adds overhead and require more code.
Write tests.
This is the first thing that came to mind when reading the article. Replacing silicon with bismuth sounds like a downside.
VirusTotal doesn’t like it https://www.virustotal.com/gui/file/ede115f31fb3fcc3c27bad1b6da5cfee30bd692c3fc04ca1e8f0e8f43787b66f
Either it’s because it’s using the same technique as malware, or because it’s malware.
I need a new random looking password. Could you generate one for me please?
Please stop nagging people to use your shiny new slop generator.
There’s a standard API for offline webapps: ServiceWorker https://dev.to/taiwofamaks/build-an-offline-first-web-app-with-service-workers-2ml7
I wonder why it’s not used more. Maybe not intuitive enough, or maybe JS framework don’t support this.
I have to wonder, is software efficiency even a consideration these days?
Sometimes I wonder if people come up with the most inefficient application on purpose just to come up with a bandwidth heavy use case for some new communication tech (5G wireless, or 1Gb fiber, or…)
An infinite loop canot be ruled out in the last case, so a compiler couldn’t optimize this away without potentially changing the program behavior.
The compiler will optimize it anyway. /s
I mostly agree. But would be more nuanced regarding Github Advanced Security.
Most features grouped under “Advanced Security” looks quite useful https://docs.github.com/en/get-started/learning-about-github/about-github-advanced-security Sadly Microsoft has to sneak copilot in there, but the rest of it looks good.
It’s probably possible to get most of these features while avoiding copilot by staying away from Github. There are other code hosting platforms, and most support CI pipelines. Scans can be added to pipelines even if those platforms don’t support scans out of the box.
It’s both, and not a small amount of bytes.
Adblocking is a more efficient way to make adversiting unprofitable, as it avoid wasting both yours’ and adtech’s bandwidth.
Wasting resources isn’t a great strategy, even if someone else is paying for it.
Is it producing steam?
Which Debian distribution are you using, stable, testing, unstable?
I take care of a couple machines for family members. Those have Debian stable with automatic update (unattended-upgrade). I can’t recall the system or packages ever breaking. At most users are a bit confused when an update change the UI a bit.
Sticking to stable and avoiding third party repos gives a pretty solid system. Only developers or sysadmins might consider Debian testing. Only people working on Debian itself should use unstable.
Is that Oracle’s Larry Ellison on the right?
