I'm sorry, yes, re-reading it I do conflate some terms.

Enterprise applications are those that are built for, enable, and underpin enterprise sized concerns.

So for your financial department you want and enterprise application that owns, orchestrates, and audits the work of finance.

However most if not all business processes cannot exist solely within an enterprise application, so you want to give them "tools for application to the business process". That's probably more high-handed than it needs to be, but eh :D

So in this what I'm arguing is that MSFT here isn't trying to position Power Apps/Automate as a tool for developing enterprise applications, but rather high-grade capabilities (I'm remiss to say "enterprise grade" as people will then conflate that too) that allow the business to tie all ends of their business process together. The best way to do this is by giving everything outside of the enterprise application knowledge and reach to each other via API.

To your point, yes, this could require the business to build applications for their own processes, but these aren't enterprise applications, simply process specific applications.

Traditionally these were macro enabled Excel workbooks and Access apps that were squirrelled away deep in so many Network Drives, underpinning vital business process functions but wholly unknowable to leadership or those maintaining the enterprise application itself.
Lol, I guess. ACs aren't the same as the Moller Skycar. It's a very, very complicated "DARPA Grand Challenge" where the goal is to not get sued by Ralph Nader into oblivion because the algorithm went MCAS and killed grandma. Waymo or someone will need to do racing and the Gumball 3000 first before people will accept anything more than semi-A (glorified cruise control and lane following).
Good point, I see someone posted an example downthread

Hard work and poor pay stresses out open-source maintainers
Real life artist sells GIFs of his Second Life-based sculptures as NFTs
Since my dad ran a software company, I've been hearing these worries about jobs moving to India etc... for most of my life. I worried about it 20 years ago, worried about it 15 years ago, and I don't worry about it anymore. As other commenters have said, not only has the pay gap for skilled engineers diminished significantly over that time, but there are other significant barriers to offshoring.
The incentives are all misaligned and the solutions aren't obvious. How is the USG going to secure some random admin access password? Are they going to update the code in the repo?

I agree with hack-back. I agree with a number of proposed solutions, but at the very end of the day the problem with cybersecurity is that most orgs don't have the fiscal allocation that they need if they were to have any hope of stoping foreign states.

Rather than compare it to armies, I think we should compare it to spies. If this is truly at the army level we could send a couple dozen missiles and the attackers would get the message. But there are reasons we don't do that though. First, we're not always sure who did what. Second, it's a political quagmire. Armies don't come to your house and help secure it from air strikes. Armies understand attack asymmetry and they hit back.

But when it comes to dealing with foreign spies there is a different playbook. The government helps organizations that are critical to national security secure their entry points and resources. They help, but they don't do everything.

This only works if the parties involved are interested in working with the government. Long after Nortel was first told of the Chinese hacking / stealing of their IP they were still woefully insecure. They went from being a third of the Canadian stock index to bankruptcy in a couple of years.

I don't actually think cybersecurity is possible. I've tried very hard to get governments to change, and there is some progress on the most fragrant violations, but the space is growing too fast and the domain is too maneuverable. I don't think it is possible. All we can hope for is some combination of more defence and realignment of incentives of the actors involved limiting the eventual damage.
https://www.nsa.gov/What-We-Do/Cybersecurity/Advisories-Tech...

The NSA seems to agree with you. So do the Departments of Energy, Commerce, and Defense, all of which have various efforts to provide independently verifiable high quality security advice, best practices, and guidance. In some cases, they've been doing so for years.

But let's skip the NSA bit. Let's say you, CEO of Big Pipeline Co, have been called up by someone at The Office of Cybersecurity, Energy Security, and Emergency Response within the Department of Energy. They offer you all the advice and guidance you could wish for. Now it's up to you to budget resources. What do you do?

Realistically, you probably hand that advice off to your IT or software staff and hope for the best. Though I realize that reasonable people may differ on this point.

It is good, but it still does not beat JIT. First MBAs various JIT acolytes did everything to make sure there is nothing on hand or manufactured in US just in case it ate into the profits and then when the 'everything shortage' happened, they had the balls to run to the government asking for bailou.. sorry.. incentives to move manufacturing to US. It is fascinating to watch, because it is done with a very straight face and expensive lawyers.

We're not outlawing math. You can still run your little calculations on your machine. You just can't exchange them for dollars. That's what we're proposing here. Currency control.

Are you confusing this with the debate around encryption? That wouldn't surprise me coming from someone who uses the phrase "nocoiner".
I understand that's not how it works. I'm constructing a deliberately absurd example to show both how the NSA could help and why companies wouldn't accept it.
It has been a long time since I have researched this topic and I don't have all the links to hand.

First of all, nuclear waste are actually a future resource. It makes very little sense to put a resource under the ground. It kind of like creating a mine.

In nuclear waste there is not just a huge potential energy resource, but also many other potential resources.

The right approach for any technologically advanced society that is continually progressing from the early days of nuclear energy would simply continue to develop reactor technology that would consume this waste and potentially filter out the useful resources from it.

If you actually do that correctly, the amount of waste left in the end is minimal and even much of that would not need 10000 years of storage.

Now, to get to that point, it might take 50, 100 or maybe even 200 years. During this time however nuclear waste can be stored rather easily above ground just fine. Because of nuclear waste transport regulation, you can not transport it so some waste has been sitting around above ground for 50+ years and it has yet to be a actual problem. This could be improved by simply putting them into a reasonable place and in a storage area.

However, there is some nuclear material that you might want to put away for a long time (most actually from nuclear weapons, not civilian fuel). There are better locations then Yucca Mountain but because of some congress insider baseball it was simply determined that it had to be Yucca and only that. Nothing else could be considered and fuel reprocessing was made illegal as well.

Because of more politics and just to make double sure Yucca would never happen, there are now demands that Yucca should be built so it could be safe for 1 million years. Complete idiocy.

And if humanity still exists in 500 years they are either living in the stone age and have much bigger problems then nuclear waste.

If you simply accept no other solution then deep storage, then we should build a facility for 500 or 1000 years (that is actually technologically more feasible) and then reopen the issue again every 100 years to see if the state of the art has improved.

To make it politically feasible you could by that people in that region an outrages amount of money, as it would still be far cheaper then what they are doing now.

More money is being waste on these things then it would have actually cost to simply push forward the technology to consume most of the waste. This is not even a new concept, old soviet nuclear warheads actually powered a lot of American homes without CO2. But I guess its much better to pay billions to the plant operates to storage the waste and then spend more billions on endless research and building a hole in the ground that you must prove will not change for a million years.
There’s actually an argument to be had around how illegal this should be.

Let’s take computers out of the picture again. Suppose I know that an organization O throws out folders with sensitive data D into the trash can in their publicly-accessible lobby every Friday at 3 pm. People that want to know D pay me to come there at 2:55, root through the can and write down the pieces that they need.

Should what I am doing be illegal? Whatever your answer, is it in any way different from walking around that same lobby sniffing O’s open Wi-Fi network except for “computers were involved”?

Why would they mention the pandemic here? I think it's because they know what they're doing is horrible on multiple levels and they're trying to offer the pandemic as a half-assed excuse to justify it.
> If Google/Humana/Tinder wanted to go further to protect themselves from bad-acting employees, they could use actual access controls (instead of mere policy) to restrict the ability for employees to access such data and only give access to employees who need such access.

I'm pretty sure the exact fact that Amazon did not appropriate restrict access in this way is one of the points being considered in the antitrust case. Specifically, that people who shouldn't have been able to, and who shouldn't have by policy, still could access seller data.
Ehh, you can have reasonable security and still be a terrorism victim, you can have reasonable security and still be a crypto-ransomware victim.

This is like tut-tutting arson victims for using wood in the construction of their buildings.

I'm okay with encouraging reasonable levels of security while also making life horrifically miserable for people engaged in criminal enterprises that attack those victims.

You can maybe get there in kotlin with a generic type with multiple constraints in a where clause. Let’s say you have Sorted and NonEmpty as interfaces (could be empty marker interfaces so they behave like tags). Then you can write a method

fun <T> doSomething(values: T) where T: Sorted, T: NonEmpty {}

And that function will take any type that has both Sorted and NonEmpty interfaces.

Stanford CS Curriculum 2021
It's weird to me that even as BMW styling goes off the rails in general, literally (practically) everyone has redone their interiors to imitate BMW. Next years' Honda Civic, for example.

Conversely, BMW replaced the 2 series with a FWD car that looks incredibly like a Kia Forte to me.

I'm sure they did focus groups and nobody actually knows which wheels drive their car. But I am unable to stop noticing the proportions of FWD vs. RWD in where the front wheel wells are located relative to the doors.

For what it's worth, some Fedora maintainers maintain that maintainers generally should use branches and not spec conditionals. Other maintainers ignore them. That's a branch for every Fedora and EL release (assuming you maintain for EPEL) and pending releases; I'd rather not.

I see nothing wrong with that conditional. It's a toss up which way you write such things, sometimes trying to second-guess future EL versions. I'd expect any Fedora derivative to define %fedora, the way RHEL derivatives define %rhel as well as, say, %centos.

Good advice to the author. Apart from anything else, bug reports can be useful to fellow users, even if maintainers don't make the requested change -- or perhaps don't until enough ire from other users accumulates under the report.
Prepare for overnight success – with the right load testing approach
I get the feeling the issue is that they haven't been able to bring their community along for the Open Source ride. The community it seems is looking for MS to guide them, rather then taking ownership of the ecosystem.

I don't know why, maybe it is that many .NET developers developed in an environment where MS provided blessed libraries for most things that was effectively bundled with the OS / Dev Tools licensing. Maybe it is that solid .NET developers end up working as consultants and thus have different vested interests. Maybe it is due to the size of organisations typically being larger and enterprisey.

Coming from the python / php / java / linux environments and dipping my toe into .NET in my current role, I believe the .NET ecosystem feels more different that any of the open source ones.
I recently released an app with one word purposely misspelt (the first word has a z at the end instead of an s). Even if you type in the full app name it still appears as the 5th search result.
The SC made the right call here. In order to dissent, you have to claim that all improper/illegal acts done with computers constitute a form of hacking under the CFAA, since the prevailing laws do not "authorize" one to use the computer in that fashion.
The Colonial Pipeline is a monopoly? It appears to be a joint venture between at least 5 energy companies. Or to what monopoly are you referring? There is not mention of any other companies in this article.

When hackers start to interfere with American food and energy supply chains, it rises to the level of national security, IMHO.

That's a poor hack, it moves an invariant that could be enforced at compile time to not much more than a convention that has to be preserved by code review.

That assumes all cyber threats can be averted by private corporations. It's difficult for a company to play effective defense against nation-state levels of cyber attack R&D. Yes, companies need better security than they have now, but they cant do it without help.
Out of curiosity, how would such a contract work? Normally the violation of a contract just means a tort and not criminal penalty. Surely you cannot simply say something like, "I agree that exercising my constitutional rights is now a federal offense."

This simply isn't true when the expectations are out of sync with the labor pool.

For example, 90+% of programmers are male, so not all firms can meet a 50-50 gender balance. Top firms try, but that will pull from somewhere. The same goes for race/ethnicity.

I completely agree with your assessment of the MPG difference. I tried explaining this to my relative, to no avail. The number for one vehicle was under 50 MPG and the number for the other vehicle was over 50 MPG, so it was a mental sticking point that I could not overcome.

Actually, I'm totally for utterly destroying the reputation of an individual, or an institution. It just have to be done for the right reasons. Take for instance rape culture as was prominent 5 years ago in several French business schools (it's not over yet), that I've learned about just this week. I confess I seriously had no idea. So the problem had (still has) several facets. First there's the general mood, which is blatantly sexist and demeaning to female students. Then there are a shocking string of sexual assaults, as well as many rapes and rape attempts (like 10% of all female students being victims of attempted or actual rape during their stay at the school —possibly more, probably no less).

It would appear the only way this can change is external pressure. What happens needs to be publicly visible, so we can have a scandal and apply popular pressure. The problem is what exactly what we should be scandalised by, how much, what punishments we wish to exact. If we fire a student or a professor for making a sexist joke, there's going to be serious backlash, downplay, and objections —including from me, see this whole thread above.

Which is why I believe it is best to punish the worst offences first: rape, attempted rape, failure to properly punish those, sexual assault… in roughly that order. Few will seriously object to a public scandal involving a strong presumption of rape. Few will seriously object to dissolving student organisations that routinely (or even just once) set up the conditions for repeated sexual assaults (to give one example: invite the girls first, give them free unlimited strong drinks for 2-3 hour, then let the boys in, all worked up and horny).

Once you get the ball rolling, it's easier to crack down on the sexist jokes. React with disgust, make them uncool, not fun any more, passé. And give a serious slap on the wrist if such happens at a public event (like a temporary suspension). Just focus on the rapes first, if only to gather sympathy.
I'm not sure about that. I think it's just that the AES hardware was busted somehow and didn't actually perform the AES algorithm correctly. The intel AES hardware just deterministically performs the algorithm, so Intel can't just weaken the algorithm somehow, at least if you're not worrying about local side channels.
Strongly depends on the language. If you have ML style data types (eg ML, Haskell, OCaml, Rust) ands some way to abstract types (ML structs, Haskell modules hiding type constructors, OCaml modules, Rust modules) then it is generally possible to design your data structures in such a way that invalid states cannot be represented. If a user has an optional first/last name but if one is specified then so is the other, your user type has a name of type (eg) Maybe (string, string) [1]. If your deserialisation framework just fills in default values for everything or let’s you have unused fields then it is, in my opinion, broken. If you have a field that should be a positive bumber, you should have a type for a positive number that fails to deserialise if you give it a negative number.

[1] the caveat is that it somewhat sucks to change these restrictions and therefore the types. Compilers can hopefully make these refractors easier, but they may still suck. In languages like clojure, you mostly have to try to write programs/tests to be resilient to any reasonable changes to the data structures that you can imagine.

This is a great example of how Tesla's strategy to build out using real-life training data can pay off.

Tesla now has data about what it looks like to drive behind a truck transporting traffic lights! No team in the world would solve this problem, in advance, in simulation.

Not saying their strategy is going to work, not saying it's an unbeatable advantage, but: just look at it! This is a compelling demonstration.
