Also, people routinely abuse their privileges to snoop on others, and computer repair shops copying disks and having a looksie is no exception. On the email remark, are you aware of any mainstream news org (wikileaks doesn't count) who

Another reply more or less had the same response I had, which is that it's entirely possible for you to start blogging about certain topics (some could be approached from a capitalism/socialism discussion starting point, even) and

Over the 16 years from 1998 to 2014 where FAANG is even relevant, small business share of GDP declined from 48% to 43.5%. (Their dollar amount has grown 1.4% annually vs. 2.5% for large businesses.) Is 43.5% too little? Or perhaps it's

You don't even need Amazon Holdings to own them, the same results can happen from regular old business partnerships. Maybe the government can forbid new deals between the offshoots, but that just creates middlemen. Or maybe ADiapers is

Have you read the research? It doesn't really support the claims people make about it. A good starter thread (albeit it's hard to follow all the replies in the nested conversations): https://twitter.com/danluu&#x2F

On the contrary, I like sci-fi. I'll repeat myself that I think seeing the themes explored in other places more thoroughly and with better characters (I'll give one of many anime examples: Ghost in the Shell; two of many fiction b

You can do that with the Steam Link app if you have a copy on your PC, and Microsoft now has (will have?) a similar thing to play in their cloud if you have an xbox copy/if it's on game pass. Playing on your local network isn&#x27

Penumbra: Black Plague remains my favorite. It's good enough on its own you don't even need to play the first Penumbra episode if you're time constrained, though the first Penumbra was pretty good too. I played Amnesia later

For me it's a matter of introversion, it all sounds so tiresome and I would most likely ignore the email. At most I'd selectively answer a few things in email but decline any actual meeting. I'd probably bucket the sender as

Heh, I'd accept it. In screening I used to ask them to implement an isOdd() function for an unsigned int, and after they did it (never had someone fail) see if they could come up with alternate ways. Mainly to see if they're aware

You're right to question it, but this is also why testing is so prevalent apart from the deluge of unqualified/barely qualified applicants. It's possible for a single person to spend an hour (perhaps over lunch) with prospect

I suspect the reason they get away with it is because for most of us it's not that stressful, especially if we already have a reasonable job. For some it can even be fun, a diversion from the usual day to day. The companies that want y

Seems also that since Ruby is not going to be taught as part of people's normal formal education in programming, you can expect Rubyists to be on average more capable of... learning new things. So yes, "re-train". Give everyo

With Blockada, you can block lots of stuff at the DNS level, so it's more tolerable. But it doesn't block everything, uBlock is smarter. Still I keep it running, it's especially great for all the other apps trying to talk to

It won't feel right if you're trying to fit in the same way, because you fundamentally are lacking the necessary attributes to do so (drunkeness, lack of clothes), but that doesn't matter if you don't feel a need to fit

A Lebanese friend told me of a link. This explosion came 3 days before the UN tribunal's verdict on the murder of the former prime minister Hariri in 2005. "Everyone knows" the port is controlled by the Amal party, who is all

As a small amount of metal can be added at the end to make the weapon 'legal', that act does little to address the numerous¹ problems beyond being able to sneak a gun past airport security. Hardly an important milestone in control

The world couldn't even come together on controlling 3D printed weaponry, there's no hope for an arms treaty for AI right now. The "it's not feasible to regulate even if you tried" stance applies too -- you can rest

It's a good book, and one most programmers should read early on (it grows less useful over time), but to think of this as only an incremental improvement over markov chains is underselling the advance. The technology is different, and
