I think people are overreacting. A lot of larger tech companies started hiring like mad during the past two years because the economy was over juiced. I work at an enterprise and was chatting with my boss about it and she mentioned that the

Have you tried KoboldAI? It can run, among other more mundane things, some pretty large ERP models. Its been making me lose sleep this week. :D

Agreed. It's hard not to get overly excited after playing around with some of these models and seeing what they can do, though.

This is something I'm interested in as well. It feels like last year, I saw every tech company fighting tooth and nail to scrape up every last engineer. We even had trouble making modest pickups at my own megacorp because candidates we

Surprisingly, the margin isn't as insane as you would think. Linus Tech Tips actually did a video comparing a homebrew Mac Pro killer vs the Mac Pro and they came out surprisingly close. Ref: https://www.youtube.com/wat

I work in the workstation division of one of the companies listed in the article and the market for workstations is not going anywhere for a long time. It's not that workstations died, it's that they look different and solve a dif

This article reminds me of my interview for workstations at HPi. I came away from it knowing that I had to work there. The interview was 5 hours: 4 one hour sessions and lunch with the team. I didn't write a single line of code the wh

Didn't the FBI and the Mueller report pretty thoroughly lay out the massive scope of Russian social media influence on the 2016 election and beyond? I thought this was a decided issue but maybe I'm wrong.

This seems like a good time to plug running a storage server on your local network. You can pick up old workstations off eBay for 100$. Stick a couple of drives in it, load it up with data to preserve and then put encrypted backups in the c

It's weird to see someone calling roads free when I give the government 25% of my paycheck every month to pay for things like roads. We can't even pass a tax in my town to give necessary funds for road repairs beyond the most basi

The idea is pretty simple: concise languages ( like python, smalltalk etc.) work well when you can get away with being concise. Verbose languages ( like the C family ) work well when you can't. It only takes a couple of tries writing a

This article is pretty interesting. However, if you read closely you'll see that they fail to justify their implication that digital media access is causing young people to feel more lonely. It's speculation that appeals to reader

I work for HP so take this with a grain of salt. Have you seen the HP Spectre x360? I was in the market for something very similar to what it seems like you're after. I was completely willing to use another company's device if it

I've been considering setting up pihole on my home server for a while but I've always been worried that it would break a website for a non-technical family member while I wasn't there to fix it. How has your experience with w

Agreed. I bet there's quite a bit of money out there waiting for whomever starts making paid, tracking-free alternatives to popular free apps.

It's always fun to read stuff from the backblaze guys. The stuff they do is just neat.

I'm going to blow the lid off this one and share a very "out there" opinion. Read both. Soft skills books won't help you navigate the insane economy of web technologies and current framework books won't help you dev

The best way to choose a language is always to look at what problem you're trying to solve and what kinds of problems the languages you're looking at aimed toward. If you're not familiar with programming already, python has a

These kinds of blog posts are always awful. "These cash-grab books about teaching kids to program are bad so teaching your kids to program is bad." Throw in some anecdotal evidence about how the author is doing it right and then
