"At least two of the ships suspected of causing damage appear to have dragged their anchors 100 miles or more across seafloor. A ship that dropped an anchor by accident, Toveri said, would immediately be dragged so noticeably off course that crews would scramble to bring the vessel to a stop and assess the damage."
The most recent ship accused of this type of damage was also loaded with spy/electronic/surveillance gear.
Once is an accident, twice is unusual, three times.....
All my cameras use wired access to a dedicated VLAN with no access to any other compute/IOT devices.
I tried to pick a vendor that keeps the video camera footage in my country but that is something few vendors discuss and with the ubiquitous cheapness of AWS S3 it's hard to verify where your data is.
I also chose not to have any cameras inside the home as a privacy measure.
When using the web access tool I changed the default password and go through the users to remove people who no longer require access (house/pet/kid sitters)
I am getting used to good products becoming worse for reasons that are never explained. As long as I am not seeing ads in the interface this is still better than forgetting a password.
This article indicates that data migrations could be done by or assisted by AI. Having done a number of them I am skeptical as most of the time I end up working with crufty stuff that is out of support. Sometimes, by the time the client is ready to migrate, the infrastructure team will tell you "We don't turn that server off as we're not sure it will boot again". I'm not even going into the custom code written by too-clever people who were short on time. That kind of code is difficult to parse for intent and can take some time and intermediate steps to solve.
I have been using this for years with my cloud provider and this is a rock solid application. My only wish is that the logging could have a sweet spot in the middle where it is not verbose but does show the names of the files changed
Yes, looking backwards PL/SQL code looks and acts like an API to the data. At Oracle conferences they will tell you that keeping your business logic in stored procedures means you don't have to duplicate it if a second application wants access to your data.
It all seems quaint now but the last time I built a web app with Entity framework and Oracle the EF part worked fine for simple CRUD operations but for complicated reporting and analysis stored procedures and views worked extremely well.
It is all about where you want your business logic. You can put it in the front end or the database or anywhere inbetween but the real test is whether it is documented, commented and easy to understand.
I am constantly contacted by recruiters who just want to talk about their latest thing. An email won't do, it has to be some of my valuable time. You cannot deal with them unless you know what your priorities are. I have three criteria for work: how much it pays, is it remote, can I do it.
Few recruiters will lead with how much it pays so I just tell them what my hourly range is for that type of work. Very few ever follow up and the ones that do are more likely to represent real work.
