    I was stunned and dazed when pounced on by police, arrested, jailed overnight and charged with theft

    Moral of the story? Eat at home... And have enough backup cash on you when you decide to take a friend for food n drinks, or get better friends by being less of a personality.

    I'm surprised Duart said anything, it must have been one of those rare times her mouth wasn't full.

    Maroela media read that backwards.... Zuma is a flight risk.

    Chrome will soon lose support for some ancient CPUs

    If chromium rips out the x86 instruction sets (code), then no, you can virtualise x64 code in a 32bit environment, but performance is going to be "modest" at best.

    The smart alarm system designed to withstand load-shedding

    Naw, he'll probably just bring 6 of his friends a crowbar and some stolen firearms. The Faraday cage mentioned above, is just an example of signal jamming (you know like guys who stalk parking lots blocking the lock signal from your key) But alas, signal or not, people will get in if they want...

    I see we both smell smoke. It makes sense no? Now CDPR is the victim...

    The make-or-break issue for Tito Mboweni and South Africa

    That's like strapping a Falcon Heavy to the economy and pointing it 180 degrees in the wrong direction. We would hit zim levels of cost / inflation in a matter of weeks. See, your thinking is correct, it WOULD scare the daylights out of most leaders. But not this bunch, the only way you stop...

    South Africa’s power crisis is going to get worse over the next 5 years – but Ramaphosa says there is a plan to fix it

    Yeah, it's currently in dubai. Zuma helped Atul fly it out. The idea and El Presidentes' speech might be fiction, but the money sure ain't.

    SONA 2021

    Truer words have not been spoken today. A brickey builds you a skeleton, a mason gives you a complete body of work. I've been lucky enough to see a master mason (and team) renovate an old church, there is no bricklayer on earth that could pull that off.

    SONA 2021

    Why? So the campus can get burnt to the ground, the equipment stolen, and the "students" still learn f@k@ll. Seriously, line up 20 kids aged 15-18... 5 can do math, 10 have done meth, and the other 5 aspire to get their second child / disease grant by the end of the year.

    I got two bottles of Jack, I'ma need to go buy some more methinks. when he starts off with those bovine eyes and a "My fellow South Africans"... Then it's on like Donkey Kong!

    Tito clearly drops a gram every morning... He's probably so lit right now his desk is smoking.

    Integrity/sanity checks: creates work?

    You validate data against a schema. If that is at the heart of your system, it protects your data and ensures a minimum level of quality throughout the lifespan of the model. As for the client, did they sign off? Then the responsibility is on them to honor their word. Removing it, means...

    How much you should be paying your domestic worker in 2021

    I grew up on a farm too, zero help in the house, farm workers on the farm sure, but we had chores, and everyone chipped in. From sweeping to cleaning the crapper, everyone just took responsibility for their space. More generally, not aimed at Papa Smurf... This idea that there is not enough...
