AFAIK they work with seconds from the epoch. No matter if you add or remove a second outside their reference frame.

Several european countries will be governed by fascist parties, fueled by social media. There will be no EUexit because they will discover how to use the EU to approve legislation that won't be popular.

Tourism in Mediterranean zone will plummet: it will be just too hot for tourist to enjoy during summer.

Food prices will soar everywhere because climate change will make harder and more expensive to produce vegetables.

Be careful about the culture. Higher management had a massive panic because "AI stopped working" in a product we make. They started an all-hands meeting. Everything worked except the AI responses. Turns out we just ran out of credits. The bad part is we told everybody we would run out of credits in less that 3 days. Nobody cared until we had production outage. Now procurement is complaining about token usage.

Before reading the article I was surprised to find them similar to old german Sout backpacks. They are really sturdy and durable: your kid needs just one of them for all primary school (grundschule). They are explensive (not so much considering 3-6 years of continuous abuse by kids), but when the kid gets tired of it, some people put them on sale. I have one that I know was resold at least 2 times and it still in perfect shape... Great for airport travel, btw.

Right now it is impossible to order cost-optimized servers in Falkstein, Nuremberg, or Helsinki. No matter if it is x86 or ARM.

Looks like they had to buy _a lot_ of new servers and it was very expensive.

It was a great opportunity to name a unix tool "mcfly" or just "Marty" for time manipulation. Better luck next time, I guess.

Reminder: always travel with a spare phone with a broken screen just in case.

This reminds me of Nortel Command Console back in 2000-2005!

I worked for a telco company that had a lot of Nortel Passport devices (does anyone know what Frame Relay is?). We started changing the network from Nortel to Cisco. Cisco used telnet (later SSH), but Nortel people were extremelly reluctant to switch.

Turns out the Nortel network managment system (nortel nms) had a very interesting feature: you could open the command console to connect to one of the passport devices... or you could connect to a device group (or all the network) and run the same command in all devices.

This was great for auditing which version had every single device in the network... or for changing access-lists globally.

I wonder what's the output of running 'hinv' on Irix.

I need to recover my old Irix CDs and find out.

Probably the police wants to gather some evidence. The easiest way to block a wifi tap is to change the wifi password... or wifi name. Both things will be noticed by the eavesdropper because they will block the device *but* it is an easy way to block it asap.

What I would do:

1 - Get an old android phone. 2 - Configure the phone to act as an access point with the same wifi name and password. 3 - Change the wifi password or name in the router. 4 - Change wifi passwords in laptop, etc... (I know, it is a pain). 4 - Activate the phone access point. 5 - * IF * the listening device connects to the phone AP wifi, you know there's a wifi tap. You can connect the phone to your home wifi later... and it will look transparent to the stalker.

Best of luck with this situation.

MySQL or Postgres are the DB of choice if you want a managed database in the cloud.

Probably Postgres is there because you can use it as a queue (https://livebook.manning.com/book/just-use-postgres/chapter-...)

I would pay if I can use Clip Studio Paint without lag. In fact, I will try another time this easter. If works, I will need to donate.

One of the reasons behind the dollar strength is that the US has a huge population.

Even if the central bank might does a bad job and make a mess of the economy, the activity of 350 million people is hard to ignore.

Is it enough to _fully_ sustain the US dollar?

Who knows, but at least there is a floor, even if everybody stopped using US dollars for international trade.

Not just Amazon - I guess the Oil and gas industry is now run on the cloud. They used to have big SGI machines 30 years ago... but I bet everything is on the cloud now using GPUs.

For me the only reason to keep windows 11 is Clip Studio Paint doesn't work yet in Linux... I use it mostly on my Android tablet BUT I want to have an alternative in case something is easier on a computer

But in the other hand you don't have to worry about mass shootings. You can freely walk (mostly) wherever you want without risking your life (that is not normal in most of the world). And you're not going bankrupt because of a minor/medium medical condition.

Europe is a _very_ different place.

Not everything here is so bad.

Politicians use it a lot. Because media and journalist started using it.
