When you use that many italics to emphasize words it's a good sign you need psychiatric help.

The kernel is not the operating system, only part of it. As long as Google is keeping parts of their system closed it makes legal sense to subject them to the requirement. As long as they are putting a lot into play services...

Using passport as national ID is common and you could have just googled it to find out like I did https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

The passport is more than sufficient as an actual ID. It is sufficient for ID in all situations. The Driver's License verifies the right to drive, and the ID at the state level. It's the driver's license which is insufficient as an ID, not the passport. The passport always verifies identity.

Welcome to capitalism.

The USA has national ID, it's called a passport. (Real ID was supposed to be a national ID, but it's been watered down so that it effectively isn't one.) The passport or passport card is the gold standard of ID because it verifies both nationality and citizenship.

The USA also has national online ID verification, it's called ID.me. It's shit, but it exists.

Google pulls out of China rather than help China crack down on dissidents and then... they do this kind of shit.

All they showed is that the only kind of fascist regime they want to cooperate with is home grown and white supremacist.

That and the price per op, which was alone enough to make it a flop.

Redhat will be subject to this requirement because their license places additional restrictions on the GPL and they are therefore in violation and have no right to use the code covered by that license

Girl scout cookies are made with child slave labor palm oil and chocolate. Nothing makes more sense than that they get funding from the baby killing industry.

Doing it in software means you can move CPUs from one machine to another based on the time of day. Your CI infrastructure can lose some resources from its UI at night and make another server for nightly builds when most of your users are away, without either having a VM layer in between or needing the builds to happen on a kernel configured with the features needed by the UI.

There have been times in the past where goofing around on my own projects or experiments, I've cranked out many hundreds of lines of code in a day. It's possible that I've exceeded 1000 lines in one day. It usually computed the task at hand at least once, but it wasn't commented, documented, code reviewed, fitted with unit tests, run through any kind of QA process, etc.

On the other hand, I would estimate that when working for a salary and writing code that ran on mission-critical systems, over the course of a project I probably averaged about 10 lines per day. Time spent actually writing the code was dwarfed by time spent negotiating architecture tradeoffs in meetings before even starting, testing the code, documenting it, writing test procedures, debugging issues generated by the test engineers, going through the revision and deployment workflow, reviewing other peoples' code, etc.

Which kind of code is being cranked out from a couple of chatbot prompts? My bet is that it is mostly like the first case I described, and it also probably works at least once.

I would depend on my own hands and not someone else's camera to secure the laptop away from the show floor

Usually you're slamming the hood though.

That one was yet another case of Ridley having a script, deciding it was good enough to start building sets and working on effects, and then constantly changing the script all the way up through editing. Whole subplots got dropped, characters who appeared in promo material just never showed up in the movie, character motivations stopped making sense, plot points were retroactively changed, etc. Prometheus suffered from the same problem, if not to an even greater degree. It's like those movies where everybody cries "studio interference!" ... only in Ridley's case, he's the one who interferes constantly with his own movies.

It's appropriate for a Chess.com story given their app now has ads by sketchy, low-class companies
