I assume regulations might prevent this but technically I guess Starlink could add a little bit of extra data to their signals and make a pretty decent GPS alternative?

Honestly at this stage I just have to assume that the three letter orgs have access to all my online data. All my important data is being captured and stored forever. Even if I'm using encrypted communications channels, and even if I k

Company I worked for got some new management and they decided to add 3 more layers to our stack. THREE new layers. I talked them out of one of these but it wasn't enough. I'm no longer working there so I hope it works out for them

You have to start with the 'simplified but not technically perfectly correct' and then add in the nuances to get to the real point. Starting with words like 'functors' that most software engineers today will not be able

My employer went this route. Gamified all the developers' output. I quit on the spot and I was not alone. We will see how it turns out but I still believe that gamifying everything is a bad idea. There's no way to align the incent
