Web access doesn’t work for months now and the admin has disappeared.

Germany because a lot of family lives here.

Who said anything about “five nines”? All we know from the article:

A couple of hundred claims a week would be a lot in normal times, he says. When the coronavirus hit, millions of claims suddenly were being filed and hitting the front end, which could not handle the massive increase in volume.

I’d say it wouldn’t be that critical if was down half the time.

Not sure of these “millions of claims” were submitted within days, weeks, or months. So we have no clue about the volume. Maybe a single server would be fine. But who am I kidding, the cheap Javascript guys will probably build a distributed cloud monster anyways…

I don’t understand why they need COBOL programmers when it is a frontend load problem. Let some cheap Javascript guys write a new frontend with a cache.

Here in Germany it seems the debate was completely ignored by mainstream media. I haven’t seen any news mentioning it.

The election is usually combined with municipial and council elections. That is where I notice at least some debate.

Ok, we get it. John doesn’t care if she gets addressed with the right pronoun.

Facebook Messenger. After WhatsApp and WeChat, the third largest one in term of active monthly users apparently.

The declaration, published today and supported by Europol and the European Police Chiefs, comes as end-to-end encryption has started to be rolled out across Meta’s messenger platform.

• Fireball? We have rocket launchers.
• Lightning people? We have tasers.
• Mind reading? Ok, I’ll give you that.
• Conjure familiars? Buy a dish washer or cleaner service or whatever.

Many of the fantasy powers can be done. It isn’t a question of capability but of economics. The economics are ignored in most stories, no matter if it’s fantasy or a real world thriller.

Not just March. It is also likely in April unfortunately. It will be May until they realize that inflation is over.

Though it would be difficult for the company to move its headquarters, De Telegraaf mentioned France as a possible destination for a company expansion.

How is the extreme-right-wing situation in France? Seems to be better than in Germany.

Depends on your definition of “control computer”. ECUs with a microprocessor often have a microcontroller built in for safety-critical stuff. You can safely route control through that microcontroller.

Also, would you allow windshield wipers and turn signals and lights to be allocated to the same control computer or should each of them have their own exclusively dedicated to them?

If we nitpicky here: She is the CDU/CSU candidate now. The EPP candidate is formally decided next month.

Some people believe Covid is the most important topic in this election? I’d say that is practically over. What concerns these citizens??

From the South China Morning Post? Interesting source.

Nice! I wanted to this for quite a while but always stopped when I didn’t find pragmatic material about DNS. This course should help a lot with knowing where to start.

About the culture difference: I think there is some truth to that but it’s not as bad as most people think. Google‘s Montessori culture is great to produce lots of innovative products, but bad for reliably producing hardware.

Any guesses which location in Hungary it might be?

Also, most Ukrainians against ending Russian war if captured land not returned. Thus, the killing continues.
