I’m assuming they wanted the literal length of the string

Cool stuff. Sucks that the prefetching process cannot be disabled on cryptographic operations with the M1 and M2 Macs.

I purchased an M1 and I don’t feel any appreciable slowdowns or need to upgrade to a newer computer. This kind of vulnerability skews that decision, and I’m not especially happy about it.

I can’t imagine that’s any fun to deal with.

“You should have known what the intent of the question was. Management won’t know or care about the internals of your code as long as it meets requirements. You have failed this test.”

Or

“You should know that you’re calling a function with invalid parameters. Where did you get your CS degree from again?”

Poor question more likely

Someday, our immortal cyber personas, born from black box AI-created manifestations of our real selves, will be so disappointed in us.

It’s almost not even possible to not have an online presence somewhere liable for compromise and abuse these days. That is unless you were born and kept off the grid by some weird cult.

I agree. Consumer use cases of SSDs sees a tremendous benefit if only for accidental damage reasons, but for enterprise data center use I would not have expected the same overall rates of failure.

Back blaze is one of the OG “cheap cloud” storage providers.

They buy cheap stuff and develop cheap storage networks to charge cheap prices and stay in business. They publish entire papers on running cheap storage if you’re interested. It’s actually pretty interesting stuff.

They raised prices 20% (or $1). Hardware costs **may have gone down that much, but I’m willing to bet their energy and rent prices haven’t. They’re subject to services inflation just as much as anybody else.

Frozen pizza prices in my area have increased more in the last year than their services.
