Or of just a power outage or driver causing a loss of write back cache.

95 and 98 and ME crashed on a regular basis. I specifically remember upgrading from ME to XP and being so happy with the massively improved stability of the NT kernel over the 9x kernels.

If you think that's 9x was stable and reliable, you may be thinking very nostalgicly.

I've been a paying member for a while now. I'm happy to support a company that isn't Google or Microsoft for search.

Use the GitHub CLI.

You can do nearly everything the website does entirely in the terminal.

The 180-page injunction outline the reason for it and the goals of the injunction. They knew the court ruled against them for specific reasons but came up with a solution that didn't take into account any of the stated goals into account.

Their solution didn't address any of the goals of the injunction.

IANAL.

At some point it has to be documented as to the decisions made and the reasoning.

If there is literally no documentation up until the final moment, doesn't that itself act as evidence that they were consciously and deliberately not wanting their reasoning documented?

Why not just do the right thing. Damn.

The breach being that they offered a payment method outside of Apple Pay. That's exactly what he said.

Given that the CFO encouraged Cook to violate the court order tells me that they calculated that

1. Any fines for not complying would be less than what they would lose by complying

2. That no individual would suffer any consequences for blatantly disobeying a court order.

In my opinion, the whole concept that a company can break the law but no human can be held responsible is insane.

I really hope that criminal charges are brought against those involved in making a conscious choice to both lie to the court and ignore the court order. Hopefully that will make other executives think twice when put in the same situation.

My guess is most people are using Redis via cloud providers. Did any cloud providers switch away from Redis?

I understand applying path filters in URLS and search strings, but I find it odd that they would apply the same rules to request body content, especially content encoded as valid JSON, and especially for a BLOG platform where the content would be anything.

It was also replaced with the Composite proposal, which is similar but not exactly the same.

What do you mean by "can't"?

"Can not" means "not possible", but it's clearly possible.

It seems to me what they are really doing is offering a free self-hosting license to businesses that make less than a given amount in sales.

This allows them to offer a free "plan" without incurring the hosting costs of providing the service.

Clearly not ALL users are happy because users of non-Apple watches are unhappy that their watch can do things with Android it's not allowed to do on iOS.

It's not reasonable to make a blanket absolutist statement like that.
