   The video from the course that I'm currently watching, "2.4 - 3-tiered Shared-Nothing Architecture and Scaling", shows slides with the RHS of the text truncated.

   I don't think bitter tone has any bearing on correctness. I think the thread is a mix of insightful observations and knee jerk emotional reactions, and sometimes a single comment has both.

   My wife introduced me to Wallace around the time of his suicide. I read IJ in 2010, and have been hooked ever since. I watched this interview in its entirety about a month ago, and really enjoyed it. The wincing which the Open Culture

   Where do you find work like that? Does it pay well?

    Thanks, that's very interesting. Why do you believe that Clojure/Scala are on the cusp of high demand? Those would be the most interesting directions to go on that list.

    I'd be really interested to read a list of these highly remunerative skillsets. Going to be taking some time off, and probably heading in a new direction when I start working again.

    Yeah, just looking at mail to model spam is one thing. Looking at it to model the user's life and interests is quite another.

    The student loan industry is interesting. If it collapses, higher education is going to get hammered. On the other hand, it's much harder to abandon a student loan commitment than a mortgage, so such a collapse could be a long time coming.

    I had a similar experience recently. Hardly anyone seems to do that. I shouldn't be too surprised, I guess. I had never used gpg to communicate with humans up to that point myself. But I had imagined that all the cool kids did.

    Similar story for me, except after BASIC it was Forth and 6809 assembly (and I had a TRS-80 Color Computer) and after a while I grew obsessed with data compression algorithms. Man, I used to love browsing old copies of Byte .

    My main problem with sshfs lately has been that on a flakey connection it sometimes hangs irretrievably, often taking out the process trying to use it (usually emacs.)

    The real "hack" here is slyly congratulating readers on their cleverness so they keep coming back for more.

    It hasn't been used or designed for cryptographic purposes, and probably hasn't been tested as such, either.

    Super exciting, but at $75K for the privilege of taking a week to assemble your own car, it'll be a bit out of my price range for a while.

    This sounds like a really bad idea, because the forensic tools mentioned in the article almost certainly examine the raw device.

    I already type way faster than I can compose code or prose. 255 WPM would be pure stream-of-consciousness, but I suppose that would be nice to have in some situations.

    Judging from the mollycoddling of modern equivalents, it was probably never realistically tested. http://fafblog.blogspot.com/2004/12/no-missile-left-behind-s...
