It might all still go the way of the TV [0]. We've been seeing the demise of general computing in real time. The current generation may be the last that got to pop the hood on the internal workings of the Internet, from inspecting HTML

I remember watching it and wondering what that code language on the screen was. Alan Kay's classification of modern state of computing as pop culture continues to ring true. I would have benefited greatly to be exposed to Lisp early on

machine readable can involve more than visible spectrum. Radar and light beam reflectors, non-vis spectrum strobes, radio beacons, swarm. Volvo was working on this years back, before "autonomous" - cars sharing data via wireless c

I would appreciate an expansion on the "break into". The approach I outline can explain and predict why the two Ts rotate, including at Toyota (Toyota going Taylor, or rather normative - rational). I prefer not to base my experien

There may not be that much difference between Lean (Toyota) and Taylorism. Don't forget that Toyota (Toyoda) is not that far from Fordism - "you get whatever color you want as long as it is black". Employees get to tweak the

Let's not forget upfront and arbitrary budget and time constraints from the customer side. "We want the project to be delivered by X, and we have a budget of Y. Our specs are Z, but not really, so factor in A refactorings (A for a

when calling cheat.sh for youtube-dl, it appears to cite tldr:youtube-dl So perhaps a suggestion could be to install tldr so as to be able to call a summary in your terminal without the need for web-access to cheat.sh

You don't buy the bull, but consider this: why is there proven age bias in tech hiring? Same reason the military likes 'em young: it's easier to mold and manipulate fresh adults.

If I'm in control, i plan to take a nice deep scuba dive, somewhere warm, with blue water. I would prefer to avoid a department keeping me hooked up for stats and fees. Wishing us all a pleasant death! With life being what it is, even

From my experience as a rescue-worker, I have instructed my SO to never have me on a machine for life support longer than one week before I'm in my sixties, and no longer than 3 days if I'm over. This is my decision, and I won&#x2

I'm glad that that xiaomi eu incident I shared has served as a warning for you and perhaps others, but saddened that it took place and perhaps represents the broad state of android custom ROM development. I've avoided Android deve

As you outline, only a partial blocking is possible when google services and applications are on the phone (today this includes most apps from the g-store). A "pure" analytics service may be blocked when reaching to a known spywar

A simple approach without root is using a fake VPN blocker such as Blokada (FOSS) https://blokada.org/ Scary to see all the hits. For complete - requires a lot of work and the custom ROM builders do not appear to be so in

I have been reviewing security for unofficial builds, and it's pretty abysmal, same for GPL compliance by the ROM creators. Could you share how you reviewed security for the unofficial ROM? I'm putting a list of actions to take, b

As others have commented, the long hours essentially have to do with hazing and conformance vs productivity. It is almost impossible to expect "leaders" that have gone through the same grinder to treat new employees differently. &

This really needs to be the top comment about alternative tokens and pollution. US military has been estimated between the world's largest polluter and as much as 140 countries. That Dollar, that "Freedom" isn't free, an

Seconded. For reference, have multiple websites with 10K to 100K visitors monthly on a DO droplet, with a wiki and a dynamic blog working just fine. Trying this project out made it quite slow and not practical, would need a beefier machine

I've been collecting on that gap in personal interviews, I have observed it as well. CMS (Critical Management Theory ) had some tidbits that I found useful, since they criticize mainstream management and describe some of the tactics a

What would you suggest from your readings? I've mostly benefited from hard realism approach and Actor theory (as applied by some: everyone has an agenda, to work with them: Align, make Peace, or Destroy).

by NotPavlovsDog 6y ago
There is a view that the ego, being non-existent, is constantly shifting and re-framing. Observe the roles/personas you shift to throughout the day, how and why? I find the Actor theory applicable - in the end, everyone in an org has d

Apache and *nix, for some applications LAMP was a game-changer for rapid web solutions for me, back in the day. Started with FreeBSD for my servers and box, then GNU/Linux on my boxes and laptops, as the hardware support got better on

Primarily because the companies listed succeeded in capitalizing on Software Eating the World (Thiel). Software companies grew the way they did because, for a while, there was little regulatory capture, with tech doing what tech wanted, at

This is why i concentrate on "professional art". It's a commercial endeavor. Often, it excludes the creator. Art sure is more valuable once the artist is dead, from a dealers perspective. As for what is "art" in gen

Professional art is whatever you can sell as such. What i find boring with western art is that it is completely dependent on the critic and the discourse statement, in text, that must accompany any "serious" work of art. Zen and o

I have to put this on my wall. I made this point to a "designer" in love with the trend of the full-splash intro video. They wanted to use it on a website targeting managers. Trying the demo on three middle-aged individuals, two

Agree on both counts. It's really inspiring to see what real engineering is. Makes me feel like a sell-out massaging Skinner boxes. In the laundry problem they are dealing with both the extreme challenge of physical objects (connecting
