I may be confused. April 1, 2022 is almost a month from now. You haven't lost anything yet?

I grabbed an old, used sewing machine in grad school to repair some things. Sewing is one of the simplest "practical" skills, I'd encourage more people to learn the basics. I have taught a bunch of people in about a day, at

This is what I do. It's only a couple clicks deep and works as well as the native app. Definitely preferable to having that junk on my machine.

One of my favorite podcasts, Risky Business[0] regularly plugs Airlock[1]. They seem like they might be the one out front, at least as a paid service. [0] https://risky.biz/netcasts/risky-business/ [1] https:&#x

My parents (mid 50s) have been doing this for 5-10 years. It just kind of came about naturally with their workdays starting late and them being night owls, and they leaned into it. It's weird enough that I imagine many of the people

I just got through my Graduate Intro to OS course at Georgia Tech last year, and your networking guide is still handed from student to student every single semester to survive the first project. I didn't think I'd get the chance,

I feel you've answered your own question. If you want to make a single app that can be web or offline, and cross-platform, Electron and friends allow you to do that. It's a trade-off of dev effort for user experience, and as muc

I have a copy I grabbed for an OS class. I should take that back out. Much appreciated!

This is an excellent place to start. Thank you!

Chicago area, USA. It varies wildly depending on your healthcare coverage. For me personally, and most white collar workers, it would be less than 1%. Call it 0.1%? Unfortunately for those that often need it most, coverage is often not go

This looks like such a fascinating project. I would love to contribute to this sort of low-level work, but frankly I don't know enough yet. I'm going to have to dig into that repo a bunch. Anyone have any personal favorite books

I've had some really bad ones too. They definitely exist, but there are some good ones too. If you're still seeing that person I'd definitely recommend shopping around.

I believe that's what the ferrocene project [0] is aiming for. It doesn't seem to be ready yet, but sounds like it might be of interest to you! 0. https://ferrous-systems.com/ferrocene/

I've done #1, it didn't occur to me that you could split up #2 and #3. That sounds like a really interesting project. Thanks for the idea!

My kid was born in early 2020, I paid even less and also wasn't charged for holding her. Not sure why you're being downvoted for providing actual facts.

While I would love for this to happen, I just don't see it at all. There are literally millions of Windows workstations or laptops across corporate campuses in the US, because at the end of the day what 95% of white collar workers need

I'd give 20 to 1 that was CS6035. Project 1 is a ret2libc buffer overflow, and it's a bit of a wake-up call for many students. Certainly was for me, though I got through it. I can't say enough good things about OMSCS. I&#x

6 years being like "a century in terms of FE" is the core objection being made in both the article and the comments. You're right in every point, but I can't help but feel like you're accepting a state of affairs t

I would agree for all but deployment. I know my way around python reasonably well, but pyinstaller and friends still make me have bad days pretty regularly.

I took a quick look, it seems like all the postings are London or New York. What's the feeling internally about remote hires? I'm assuming that's still out of fashion in finance and Beacon feels the same?

Can't access my website hosted there, and my notes synced using webdav pointed to files there also seem to be unavailable. Bummer. Can't really blame them, though, not much you can do with cannons pointed at you. I'm sure t

You either die a hero, etc etc. I wonder if there's any "big, established" company where IC engineers have more weight than the PHB types. I'd be genuinely curious if anyone knows of some good examples, I suppose HN wou

I've just barely bridged it. Cubicles were better I think. It wasn't real privacy but it was at least something.

I've been a CGB fan for a couple years, and thought this video in particular might be of interest to the HN crowd. As a fan I'd be remiss not to suggest you check out some of his MtG content if that's your thing. He's a

Ah, that makes sense. Yeah, clean breaks like this are definitely new ground for them and you're right that growing pains wouldn't be shocking to see.

Microsoft has plenty of problems, but I don't think anyone can seriously suggest they are bad at building things to last. They shoulder backwards compatibility to a degree that almost no other company would even consider.

I think it would be in your case, but it is something of a gamble, isn't it. At some point I'll hit the job I want to (and think I have a good shot at) retiring from and probably try for it myself. I'm not really sure how t
