They provide AWS to Israel’s military and weapon industry so they definitely are participating in genocide.

I (regrettably) went through your profile and I see no evidence of what you’re claiming in the OP. What I do see, though, is plenty of evidence that you like to make claims without evidence and then annoy people until they start cursing at you. It’s simultaneously very Christian (religion is not based on verifiable evidence) and not very Christian (which preaches tolerance and respect) of you. My advice: lay off on the proselytising and you’ll be better accepted by people who have differing opinions on religion.

Can you please learn how to use git or at least some source control software instead of creating a new (almost) empty repository every release? Pretty please with a cherry on top?

If you’re just going to include source code archives in the release instead of pushing them to the repo itself, you should at least disable the automatic source code archives. But you’d be better off not using a source control website at all if you’re not going to use source control.

Add it to the list of things WhatsApp stole from Signal

The Linux Association of Canada is entirely AI slop already, it’s sort of impossible to avoid it if you use that site anyway.

PP also (in)famously voted against gay marriage

No, it applies as long as the user is in the EU https://gdpr-info.eu/art-3-gdpr/

Whether Winnipeg Free Press is collecting personal data is a different question, but I’d take their geoblocking as either an admission or an indicator of (overly) paranoid lawyers.

On one side, I get it. It really sucks to have to comply with all foreign laws just because you’re hosting stuff on the Internet.

On the other hand, fucking lol what a way to say you proudly love to track your users and refuse to face any consequences for it.

Also, ironic for a company with “free” in their name to be so restrictive.

I too spin up a new DB for every service that needs one. It makes maintenance less intrusive since I only have to shut down one service at a time to update or do a full file backup and I can safely tweak the DB config to best suit the service without worrying about negatively impacting other services on the same DB. I also like the flexibility to choose the best DB for the service, e.g. I use Postgres for a lot of the services I develop but they do also support MySQL/MariaDB, but I have other services that are more tested on MariaDB.

I’d imagine having one database for everything could eventually cause performance problems across all services if the database gets too big or clunky or queries get too complex, even if just one service is causing the problem.

I also run a lot of physical servers (I have about 10 low power computers I use as servers right now) so having a dedicated DB per service allows me to get better performance since the DB can be on the same machine as the service. Not that they need high performance, but it also helps with the efficiency.

An attacker can still send a compromised payload if there’s no signature verification of the update. It takes a more sophisticated attack (e.g. supply chain attack, hijacking AMD’s update website, etc.) but it has happened before to other companies. If the payload is signed and verified, an attacker would also need to gain access to AMD’s private key to successfully send out a bad update. Assuming reasonable security, getting that private key would be a lot harder to get on top of somehow compromising AMD’s update web service.

Also CRC checks over the internet are sort of silly and redundant since every packet sent would already be subject to a similar CRC check and bad packets would be ignored (dropped and re-requested). It would only prevent corruption on disk or in memory which are a lot less likely than transmission corruption.

So basically

Our editor flew into the hornets nest and still couldn’t get away from the hornets

Lol what else would you expect. Taiwan is the semiconductor centre of the world, of course the latest tech fad is going to be there too.

that carries part of the machine code used to fabricate its own body.

Seems like just a clickbait headline. It could easily contain all of the gcode for printing the book itself and not the part for printing the letters on the page.

But it might be possible to have gcode that (completely) prints its own gcode. Regular programming languages can do that, there’s a whole fun community around cool puzzles that use that. Obviously, this project does not do that.

Prestige is meaningless. What matters is (relevant) knowledge and experience. Any university, assuming it’s not just a degree mill, will be able to get you what’s actually important.

It’s like Klingons and honour. Only the ones you don’t want to be around care about prestige enough to let it influence their (hiring) decisions.

This, folks, is why you don’t post pics of yourself/someone publicly online. It doesn’t prove you’re a real person, it just proves you don’t understand how the internet works.

The more you insist you’re real, the less people will think you’re real. You don’t need to prove you’re real here, you just need to not act like a fake person (scammer, bot, etc.)

How do people know the South Pole isn’t in Antarctica if they’ve never been to it?

No, Antarctica is a continent which contains the South Pole. People have been to the South Pole, if Antarctica were actually just an ice wall the South Pole would not exist and so would not be possible to visit.

Which ice wall? There are lots of walls of ice in the world. The South Pole is in Antarctica which (depending on where you approach it from) can look like a wall of ice.

There’s ground below every point on Earth. There just might be some water on top of it too. Also Antarctica is a continent with ground underneath the ice. The North Pole is the one without ground (immediately) below it. Hence the Arctic Ocean on maps.

If earth is round

🤨

Anyway, we do send rockets left or right. It’s required to get into orbit, since basically orbits are something moving fast enough sideways so that it always misses Earth. We don’t send rockets down, obviously, because that would be into the ground. But if you’re talking in cardinal directions then yes, we do fly rockets in all directions. Polar orbits are called that because the satellite flies north- or southwards.

The reason why rockets launch facing up (opposite gravity; not north) is because it’s more efficient to leave the thick parts of the atmosphere before getting most of your speed because of drag. You could launch a rocket parallel (tangential) to a point on Earth it’d just take a lot more fuel. Space planes do technically launch like that, but they use the atmosphere to their advantage by using wings (lift) to gain height.
