Russian sites like Yandex, Rutube, VKvideo... are great to find porn. But if they go down, I'll take the minor inconvenience for the sake of Ukraine.
More seriously, Yandex has been throttling queries rather aggressively lately, and I'm pretty sure it has something to do with their compute going up in smoke due to Ukrainian drones.
Wow, BIND, though? Do a quick search on "history of BIND vulnerabilities." Sure, people run all these tests on it now, and in the past, and the history has been there's been a lot of causes of concern.
Because it embeds into html, rather than rendering the html. It makes for very fragmented code.
Yeah, that's pretty old-fashioned. In my experience, it's barely done now. Kinda like how nobody writes JavaScript like it's Pascal anymore.
War department is Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth doing their fascist circle-jerk.
The only truly unique thing associated with Musk is Starship. That piece of tech is important for our species and everyone else is a solid 20 years behind.
"Important for our species"
What can go wrong?
I wonder if the control room technicians will be allowed bathroom breaks...
Ah, I had missed Trump accounts because they originally couldn't hold individual stocks according to how congress defined them in the legislation. I was not aware Trump and co were trying to do an end-run around the legislation by arguing that the law doesn't prohibit corporations from donating individual shares.
However, that's a pretty new development, is controversial, and its unclear how it would really work, especially in tandem with the other rules.
Its a little tricky too, as children generally don't have suitable investment accounts that can hold publicly traded shares. I'm doubtful they even legally can open those accounts.
So what are they going to do, issue a gazillion single paper share certificates? What a shitshow that would be, the fees and shipping alone around dealing with that for a single share would be nuts, not to mention the hassle of redeeming them, and the untold numbers that would be misplaced or destroyed. And I'm still not sure children can own them, or sign the agreements required to get them.
What else could the do? Create beneficial trusts for every child? Whose going to administer that? and again the fees and management expenses around it would be nuts all for a $150 space-x share?
It might be reasonable for him to set a bunch aside, and as children reach adulthood, let them claim them at that point.
If the idea is that the kid can't sell it or whatever until they're an adult anyway, its probably fine. It'll be income maybe when they receive it, so that could work out badly for some kids though, if they have to sell it to cover the taxes on it, because they don't have a job yet. Especially if its appreciated to a couple thousand or something. (How are splits etc handled, do they get one or more? Or worse... reverse splits on a single share?)
So while everyone seems to agree that building server-side applications with things like Node and Python is wrong, foolish, and that "there are much better options"
I mean
And here I thought Linux isn't Unix. But now the grognards tell me it is just a copy that didn't contribute anything new on its own.
Well, it wasn't Unix. But it was inspired by Minix, a widely-taught teaching operating system that Torvalds decided to make into a thing you could use every day.
We use both in production here; but, let's be VERY CLEAR: there is absolutely NO FAIR COMPARISON between a locally hosted model on above-average hardware and what Anthropic (and I assume others) is offering with their, currently, subsidized plans.
This just in, a report published by a group of people who would be materially harmed by losing business to the EU building its own technical capacity declared it would be costly and unfeasible to ever abandon them.
Up next after the commercial break, we report on how water is wet and grass grows.
Even worse, this is an initial hardware release from Apple. Apple does eventually keep their hardware updated for a fairly long time... on the third or fourth iteration. But the early versions tend to see only a couple of years of updates before Apple drops them.
You can see that with the iPhone, iPad, Apple Watch, and Apple TV: their original versions only received a couple of years of updates before Apple demanded people update to the newer ones. The original hardware in all of them was also severely underpowered compared to the versions released a few years later. And if you look back to the original iPod, this is hardly a new thing with Apple. When the iPod was first released, it was pretty lame. It only became popular once USB support was added several hardware iterations later.
Which means that the traditional device holds: don't buy revision 1 Apple hardware. Wait a few revisions until it appears to stabilize. Or don't buy it at all if they just drop it, like the original HomePod (note the new one is part of the "HomePod Mini" line) or Apple Vision. (Where's the non-Pro version, Apple? I'm assuming that was planned at one point.)
Mod parent up. Very insightful.
...in the hands of a competent, careful and passionate programmer like Linux Torvalds.
What I worry about is when Bob in the junior software dev team, who does his job to put food on the table, and just good enough to keep his job, uses it to vibe-code company data as his day job.
