Det är redan bullshit. Enligt USA:s CLOUD act så har amerikanska staten rätt att beordra AWS att göra vadhelst de vill med datan, oavsett om den hostas i ett tekniskt segregerat nät. Det är endast Amazons juridiska säte i USA som spelar roll.

Everybody likes homemade porn.

The US has been on this path at least since Reagan was president.

I’d say most of the GoF patterns evolved in a C++ toolchain (and then the Java junior devs started a cargo cult around them that has survived to this day). The book was never as language-independent as the authors envisioned it to be—in fact I’d argue that with the right programming language design the patterns happen implicitly or are obsolete.

I disagree with almost everything in this article, especially the premise. Technical debt is just an added cost of maintenance and development over time, like an “interest” paid in terms of work hours. It doesn’t matter if the developers have knowledge about it - a company with lower technical debt will develop the same feature faster, because they’re not fighting the existing code base as much.

Most of the technical debt I’ve been forced to create has been with the knowledge of better ways from the get-go. We just chose a worse design for short-term gains (time to market / ran out of money) and realize we have to pay with a higher development cost in the long term. It’s very much like taking out a loan to deliver faster.

I hate it, but in economics a company is not considered to leverage all its potential unless it takes on some debt - a debt free company moves too slowly to be competitive. The same applies to technical debt. You can have too much of it but you can also have too little. It’s a strategic choice.

The Mirror’s Edge theme was written and performed by Lisa Miskovsky who was part of Cheiron Studios and worked on several hit songs including Backstreet Boys’ “Shape of my heart”. One of my favorite songs of hers is “Why start a fire”.

I could post messages on FidoNet with my 8Mhz Atari ST in 1988 too

On the other hand, we don’t need nanoscale transistors to achieve most of the usefulness of CPUs. Most of that high-tech performance is wasted on things of questionable usefulness for society. The C64 CPU had an 8 micrometer process that likely does not require ISO class 1 or 2.

Unfortunately some developer tools fail to work correctly in separate worktrees. I used them for a while but had to give them up. For example, Maven’s release plugin cannot reliably create tags / branches if you’re in a separate worktree.

APK and APKS are just renamed zip files

Long cutscenes that don’t let you save or pause when anything comes up that forces you to leave the keyboard or just focus elsewhere.

“Control” was the worst wrt this (or was it Quantum Break? Maybe both). I was just about to go to bed when it showed me a “cutscene” that went on for more than 30 minutes. Turned out later that you could actually go back to watch it again afterwards, but there was no indication of that at the time.

If you’re into doing these kinds of projects I wholeheartedly recommend Sebastian Lague’s YouTube channel. Each video is a new project and it is presented in an accessible and inspiring way.

Until your toddler presses it and the OS just tosses all the work that you didn’t save yet. It’s good with a safeguard, and Windows will eventually force shut down after a timeout.

Well he sure likes to talk about who holds them and who doesn’t

This is probably just a political play to show Canada has more cards than Trump thinks

Or just leak the signing keys like they did with MSI. That quote describes the theory, but there are tons of shit-for-brains humans that can screw it up. The UEFI attack surface is much bigger than it has any right to be.

It needs to be at least as easy as Windows to install and have good support.

Extra bonus points if they preinstall/bundle it on gaming PCs.

I think such projects don’t exist precisely because Mozilla is still developing it. If Mozilla abandons Firefox then someone else will take up the torch.

I believe the Firefox development organization could be a lot leaner, and not all of the work has to be directly salaried. There are plenty of huge open source projects that are progressing fine without being run by a single for-profit company. E.g. the Apache ecosystem, the Linux foundation projects, FreeBSD, etc.
