Not strange. It's a Jewish name.

IIRC, rebuilds to GCC outputs are/were only recommended when the compiler "profile" changes. So basically whenever the ABI could no longer be guaranteed.

My (single) Homepod Mini reacts to voice commands from any room in my 86 square meter apartment. When the doors are open, I can talk to it basically through the wall, without raising my voice.

Do not underestimate modern audio technology.

Wdym "seen no one mention"? This case was so much "all over the news" it might as well have been a psyop.

And yet it was exactly one case.

Well yes. But just in case this wasn't clear: this is a crime, and you will get your money back in most cases. It's on the merchant to ensure a Direct Debit Mandate is actually valid.

I just don’t get this sentiment. How would you represent metrics as traces? You cannot. Even reconstructing traces from logs would be challenging at best. How would you get, say, Garbage Collector metrics from logs or traces? You cannot.

There is no magic bullet. Observability isn’t something you can just slap on and call it a day. While traces and logs might share superficial similarities, they are not the same. And metrics are something else altogether. Trying to somehow unify them would be a prime example of "wrong abstraction".

The building blocks for this exist. The observability platform must simply (haha) implement the pattern detectors and use them for sampling decisions.

When I visit an article on a popular German tech news website, it interrupts music playback on my iPad (the website takes audio focus). I bet they do something similar.

I think it's a little more nuanced. Most people cannot fiddle (with PCs). They would have to learn to, first. Does this mean they deserve to have shit shoved down their throats? No. However, they are very vulnerable, and companies want to capitalize on this fact.

Hackers (whatever kind) are just one portion of the total populace. Others deserve genuinely good products, too. And maybe sometimes even a hacker wants to take a break. ;-)

Why wouldn't they be? No fiddling, super compact form factor, (usually) far superior energy efficiency, maybe phone apps, did I mention no fiddling?

Also, the form factor!

Oh yeah, that combination of fear and lack of knowledge probably plays a big part. I was once involved with creating a privacy policy for a B2B(!) web application. What a farce. In the end, the process was cut short (counsel too expensive and not nearly familiar enough with tech). The resulting document was at least 50 % stuff the app simply does not do.

If you join multiple/many tables, you could end up with a large volume of data. And yes, this is bit-for-bit duplication—on the network. The query result is (typically) a single table. This table will get serialized as-is, with all duplicate data.
