Thanks for the tip! For a while I've been thinking of setting a VM that navigates the interwebs clicking on random links to generate tracking noise. I need to find out how to do that :D.

Google makes money, so they are happy to look away. The scams (e.g. Mr Beast fake video) are identical so it would be trivial to automatically kick them from the platform. The crypto bro's ads are also pretty much identical. The crypto

I do agree with a lot of the presentation. A word of caution though: some technologies that start by offering simplicity evolve over time to provide a very difficult to grok environment. So the evaluation about the cost of maintenance is no

I cannot say about the US, but Python & Pandas are quite sought after in Europe. I wonder if the problem is that you have to find the first role in order to show that you have some actual & recent, on-hands experience. I've hea

I've seen this on the org I work, the whole 'engineer manager' layer was removed and replaced with wishful thinking (love that phrase!). The engineer managers had a good idea of how to manage teams and were doing team/te

I'm going to use that title on the next conversations I have about estimates, in particular in the context of 'we need to know that this piece of work will be started in 4 months and finished in 8'. Those conversations defini

Part of me agrees, another strongly disagrees. Refutation works in a rational society, and we don't live in one. Quoting the fantastic Terry Pratchett: "A lie can run round the world before the truth has got its boots on." Th

Thanks for sharing this. A few family members consume a good amount of alternative medicine without any idea of what they consume as the products are not regulated, or they source products from places that make no claims that are for human

If I had any Delphi books, I would put them next to my copy of Learn Sumerian in 24 Hours.

I disagree, I just left a company in which most teams 'modularized' their code in the way Parnas describes as not ideal. What Parnas describes are low level modules that are now mostly provided by languages, but the same applies t

Fully agree on this, plus (a very important plus) test that severing down an AZ doesn't bring the services on the good AZ down too. And test this frequently. I would be very, very surprised if the companies mentioned, in particular ban

I'm slowly grokking Haskell and I like the genius (or madness?) of having the type system do a lot to verify that the program is correct. I just started reading about liquid types and I'm loving the idea : https://new

The answer to your scenario is `yes` with a high probability (taken from my magician's hat), but only in the short term. People like the one described in the article prepare a pipeline of good engineers, who also have experience in the

This is huge. Yesterday The Register published an article [1] mentioning that Qakbot was responsible for 30% of recorded intrusion attempts since the start of 2023. [1]: https://www.theregister.com/2023/08/28/

I've been enjoying learning Haskell for the last 6 months and one of the things that I really enjoy is learning new algorithms that use functional approaches (and use immutable data structures). Coming from a Java background, where mos

F# is gorgeous. For anyone dipping their toes into functional programming, the book Domain Modeling Made Functional by Scott Wlaschin [1] does a great job to get the basics of F# and, more importantly, how to use a functional, strongly-type

I assume you were using AWS? I know some of the AZ of other cloud providers (Azure? Oracle? Google?) are not fully siloed. They might have independent power and networking, but be in the same physical location. I'm mentioning this for

About youtube-dl, I think the version in pip is about a year old. For now the best way is to get the code and build it (which is just to run `make`)

The best way is to download the source from github, run `make`, and copy the the file to $HOME/bin . There hasn't been a release for about a year now and the files on the distro repos are even older (I think). Also YouTube has bee

I agree with you. MS can be a solution to a few problems, and as you mentioned 'do one thing and do it well' is not one of them. In my head MS works well for - Teams with different approaches. - Different tech stacks I cannot thin

I think this is an oversimplification. Having something that does one thing and does it well works for simple things that can be composed. Sometimes this is not the case, as the composition would be too cumbersome or too slow. The example o

I started learning haskell about 6 months ago and I'm quite enjoying it as it requires a different mental model compared to any C-like language (Java, C#, etc). Learning Haskell has helped me to cut a good amount of BS from technologie

You have to build it from source to avoid the 60kbps limit. There hasn't been a release since Dec 2021 and there have been some updates since then that implement the 'puzzle' to get the right value of the url parameter. It&#x
