SoC in this case is a system on a chip - despite the "a" it's abbreviated the same

Do not give up. The idea that at 40 or 50 you're past it and have missed out on all the opportunities in life is common, but it's flat out wrong. A wife and kids in your 40s is perfectly feasible, but I wouldn't focus on them first. Once you're in a happier and more stable position personally, then other things can and will follow.

Other people have given good positive practical advice on therapy, which I would recommend too, pick anyone and see if it works, if not move on. The therapist is not your friend and you don't need to worry about their feelings or long-term commitment upfront.

The question for 2023 is "How many companies will be investing in this without a clear revenue stream?"

It's quite likely we're entering a period where the current baseline performance of core infrastructure will be considered "good enough" and companies won't employ people to work on these general improvements.

Waze does this "trip suggestion" feature, works pretty much as you describe it

Since Covid, I don't go anywhere consistently enough for it to know what to suggest :)

To comment on the statement:

"Companies like Microsoft are making close to $100b a year today and they have to put that money to work somewhere"

They'll make stock buybacks, and they'll pay out dividends, far less risky to their stock price and long-term management incentive schemes than most value destructive large acquisitions.

Yes, their sales team is far too aggressive, I can't imagine it's successful for building their brand with developers

I'm just finishing a masters, it's been very enjoyable but definitely a challenge to balance education, work, and family.

It's not just the hours of work to be done, the biggest challenge for me has been the pieces of work that need to be done on specific days at specific times, like one-off lectures, workshops, and so on, where I've had to say to my kids I can't take them places or play with them that day.

Simply because India has huge amounts of mobile devices, and the Indian ISPs didn't get assigned many IPv4 gold rush days when anyone could get an addresses by asking.

Instead they've aggressively rolled out IPv6 and carrier grade NAT where needed

The major providers use buildings owned by Equinix and others where they need to.

I tried to speak to Redhat about getting support for servers that didn't fit into their annual per-server subscription model. They didn't even reply to multiple emails.

Redhat sales are now firmly set in the IBM enterprise model. I'm sure it works for them, but it didn't work for us as a potential customer moving from Centos.

The app needs to request it in the manifest file, but it's automatically granted if the app does request it - you don't get a prompt.

I think this FT article suggests the blog isn't entirely comprehensive

They keep all the data posted since the early days of the internet, and are applying machine learning to it now (and will continue to into the future).

I'd love to try a Lumina webcam but at the moment it'd cost me $200 shipping and import tax to the UK.

It's a pretty big punt compared to buying something off Amazon that I know I can send back without a quibble if it's no better than my Logitech Streamcam.

It'll generally work for a few metres with Cat5e, but I think it's always been too problematic to be officially supported. Though looking around it seems some manufacturers do say it'll work?

It works fine over Cat6 yeah, but if you've not got that deployed then 2.5Gb or 5Gb is a good step up from 1Gb.

Pretty simple really, 10Gbps copper needed new cabling which turned out to be a big hurdle in the real world.

2.5GBASE-T and 5GBASE-T do run over existing Cat5e cabling reliably.

They'll register (or purchase) IP address blocks that are marked as Indian in the various GeoIP databases, then assign those IP addresses to servers hosted outside India.

This is the fundamental misconception of the article as far as I understand it.

Cloud providers do not provide enough metadata to enable that mapping across all resources.

Defense & energy (oil)

No technology is entirely secure today, we haven't built it in a provably secure way

The most secure today is probably a Pixel 6 running a secure messaging app with a limited attack surface, no image support, no emoji, etc. Removing all the standard apps including the browser and Webview engine would significantly help.

If you could switch an iPhone into a secure mode which removed large chunks of messaging functionality then it would be the preferred option.

They still need a competitive offering against other Android manufacturers at the high end.

Xiaomi and others are happy to buy Qualcomm chips if it gives them the high end advantage

For Office365 / AzureAD this is a configuration choice, admins can enable the numbers option which reduces the chances of accidental allows

It worked pretty effectively.

Think about the 10,000s of JavaScript libraries out there, and the 100s of versions of each.

If the tenant had 1 or more European employees in their system, then yes GDPR is likely relevant.

If you do some googling you can find forum posts on how to do it manually, though I've not tried it myself

Most residential ISPs in the UK default to have filtering enabled, which can be removed by contacting the ISP or via a web form

An alternative view is you got very very lucky that a developer spotted the issue ahead of time, so when the problem occurred you were already aware of the root cause.

Otherwise you might have been down for a much longer period of time while you identified the issue.

The output alerts feature looks largely the same, but the input API limits are the part in question.

What happens if you get 1000 API calls about "Alert 1" and 1 API call about "Alert 2".

You want both on call's to trigger once, but will alert 2 get though?

I largely agree, but most modern binary formats are more rigid with schemas and types.

If you want the flexibility of JSON, I'm not sure you'll end up with something massively different from gzipped JSON

It seems more and more likely they'll do this as part of the same announcement
