This sentence killed me: "Daniel Gruss, one of the researchers who discovered the latest round of chip flaws, said it works “just like” it PCs and can read data off the processor. That’s potentially a major problem in cloud environment

Salient points, but even Java is a regional thing. In Texas, if you aren't using .NET then you are in the minority.

So from what I can gather, niteo is a SAAS. For Paypal to ban them in what is a pretty non controversial business, they must have commited one of the following offenses: 1)Breach this user agreement, the PayPal Acceptable Use Policy, the Co

I parsed that headline as Tesla's AI software expertise far exceeds other automakers, but after reading seems he was talking about their devops/CI model, which I would say is accurate when qualified against other automakers. The o

That was one of my first thoughts too. I am curious if/how deadly the lasers are, and I have resisted the Dr Evil quote fingers until now.

Question: say one of these planes is flying above me and someone shoots a surface to air in the general direction of this plane, and in the process of destroying said missile an errant laser beam strikes me as I watch from the ground. What

In the last few years, my phone has steadily become more and more a pocket (textual) communicator and less a telephone. The amount of spam calls I get at the peak numbered about 20-30 per day and that is with my being on the do not call lis

I mean from China. It was investigated and pretty conclusively linked. Is there a chance that it wasn't China? sure. But there were specific reasons that China would want to know what this company was working on, and it was more than j

THIS! My brother works for a large corp that does a lot of government(and private) work. A few years back, they tightened up their security with live monitoring, and as soon as it was enabled they realized that folks from China were activel

I actually posted this during a change management meeting. I was required to be there despite my portion of the meeting being 10 minutes of the hour. There are varying descriptions of "work", but my day usually lines up like so: 4

To be clear- what I said leaves broad room for interpretation. I am by no means at deaths door. What I meant is a few things have happened for this sprint. 1) my stress level is higher 2) focus is harder 3) easier to make poor food choices

A pretty good hourly rate actually. I am definitely treating this as a sprint. And for the following 2 years I have lined up 35-40hour per week work. This will allow for a significant runway when the project ends as well. I’m hoping to have

I’m currently working legit 65-70 hours per week. We have a hard stop that costs millions if we miss. It basically means 6am-6pm Monday through Saturday. I’m not as productive as when I work less but there is a net win in productivity. I do

Agreed- and I'm a fan from a distance. Again I have no dog in their fight, but I would at some point like to own a Tesla or equivalently performing vehicle. For me, Elon is still the guy to lead the effort. He had some missteps during

As someone who does not have any stake in Tesla, I dont see a path forward for them without a company with the bank account on the scale of Apple/Google/Amazon funding them. Bootstrapping software is hard, hardware is harder, cars

I agree with a lot of the arguments made in this post. However I think there is an assumption that programming is programming and there aren’t different problem sets to solve. To me, UI development lends itself naturally to the everything i

FL Studio is/was Delphi based but I got to believe that it’s been ported to c/c++ in light of the Mac version that’s now available. I know there is kylix but I can’t imagine that was the way it was ported. But maybe so. I actually

100% agreed. It’s a perfect analogy, they even drive in a similar manner. Slightly off from the flow of traffic, staying too close to the edge of a lane. Heck I even saw a Houston Police officer in his cruiser texting and driving today. As

As someone building an Oracle Cloud interface right now, let me say that this is a true statement. The web services are inconsistently named, poorly documented, and some don't really seem production ready. The API is not consistent and

I dont think this article is completely correct, and I dont see padding as a "trick". If the arrival window is more accurate by adding padding to the flight time, then I can plan more effectively when I get to my destination. Aren

I'm not so sure- I don't know enough to disagree with you completely, but it seems valid to me that someone who lacks purpose would be more prone to falling into that sorta destructive cycle. That's not to say its the only wa

I get where you are coming from here, but calling someone stupid for looking to get past a sticking point isnt stupid. spinning your wheels when an answer exists is stupid. I think stack overflow proves that there is most likely no problem

I live in Houston, and I would say most senior (10+ year) full stack developers probably make what your 0-3 year front end developers make. In Houston, ~130k is enough to live an upper middle class life, what does that look like in NY, SF a

Another MSX computer from Japan that you could find in a music store? The Roland S samplers from the mid to late 80s to early 90s. The S10, S50, and S330/550 are at their heart MSX standard computers. The basically impossible to find m

I struggle with this, I think as long as you aren't getting spit in your eye as a batter, who cares if a pitcher throws a spit ball, a cutter, or any other "cheat" pitch. I feel like that is living on the margins and that you

I feel like this is one area where clickbait media has pushed things backwards. Everyone wants the clicks so facts from studies get skewed into binary results when its most always shades of gray. If I see a study and it shows that you may b
