From an order of magnitude perspective, the max is terabytes. No “normal” users are dealing with petabytes. And if you are dealing with petabytes, you’re not using some random poster’s program from reddit.
For a concrete cap, I’d say 256 tebibytes…
I think they’re just stopping operations of the company in Brazil.
But I don’t think they’re going out of the way to prevent Brazilian IPs from connecting.
Where I work, everything is on IPv6. Both the infrastructure for the software services that we run, and our own internal corporate network.
My ISP also provides publicly routable IPv6 prefixes over DHCP. Any layman in my city with this ISP will be on IPv6 by default.
I also use IPv6 for my LAN.
Like, it’s just kind of the default in my neck of the woods…
[S]hareholders said they learned that CrowdStrike’s assurances about its technology were materially false and misleading when a flawed software update disrupted airlines, banks, hospitals and emergency lines around the world.
I don’t see how they can make this argument.
Falcon is a kernel module. When kernel modules fuck up, you get kernel panics.
Sure, the layperson may not know enough about computers to recognize this, but it’s a basic enough fact about operating systems that an investor in a company like this should take the time to learn. It’s not like they hid that fact.
If you invested in a company without knowing how their product works, that’s on you.
The meaning of version numbers can vary across projects.
One common scheme is Semantic Versioning, which divides the version number into three parts: MAJOR.MINOR.PATCH*
MAJOR is incremented when there are backwards incompatible changes.MINOR is incremented when new features are added in a backwards compatible way.PATCH is incremented for smaller big fixes.* It’s a bit more complex than this, but this is the gist.
Maybe.
Linux won because it worked. Hurd was stuck in research and development hell. They never were able to catch up.
However, Linus’s kernel was more elaborate than GNU Hurd, so it was incorporated.
Quite the opposite.
GNU Hurd was a microkernel, using lots of cutting edge research, and necessitating a lot of additional complexity in userspace. This complexity also made it very difficult to get good performance.
Linux, on the other hand, was just a bog standard Unix monolithic kernel. Once they got a libc working on it, most existing Unix userspace, including the GNU userspace, was easy to port.
Linux won because it was simple, not elaborate.
Motorola has been in the tracker game since way before Air Tags.
I remember getting a Bluetooth tracker with my Moto X circa 2014. Back when Tile dominated the market.
Zsh
No plugin manager. Zsh has a builtin plugin system (autoload) and ships with most things you want (like Git integration).
My config: http://github.com/cbarrick/dotfiles
Exactly.
My take is that the issue isn’t with tmpfiles.d, but rather the decision to use it for creating home directories.
RIP Fuchsia
The article says all phones Android 9 and up are in on the network.
But I was under the impression that enrollment in the network was still rolling out? Anyone have details on the current state?
To me, this just sounds like the network isn’t rolled out fully yet (or that NYC residents don’t use Android, which seems suspect) rather than a failing of the device itself.
There are still issues with WearOS, but I think some of that is hardware. Last I heard, Qualcomm’s wearable SoCs were trash, but Samsung is in a good position since they have both the SoC fab and make the watch itself.
Many industries are shifting to a model where Android is the de facto OS for consumer-facing interactions. It’s not well optimized outside of phones yet, but it is rapidly improving. Many cars run Android now, for example.
I’m moderately optimistic about the next generation of WearOS devices.
This is a good book on how Google treats production environments at their scale.
Cattle, not pets.
Google operates on a trunk model, according to this:
The entire TotT series is pretty good.
I assume it will still be possible to enable the APIs with adb.
So this will mostly affect users in that in-between skill level where they know how to use a third-party app store (or how to download and install apps from a file browser) but don’t know how to use adb. I’m not so sure how big that segment is. Probably pretty small.
For the group of users who are tech-illiterate (the common case), this is actually a very welcome change for malware prevention.
In the case of Google, the trade off is compensation.
You can work for for Google in NYC and make $300k+ per year, or work for Google in London and make half as much at best.
It’s the USA.
Yes, they can just fire people.
Yeah, I think so.
At first, Xockets sounded like a legit tech company to me. But a closer look at their website reveals that it’s actually run by a bunch of patent attorneys.
