It really will. After riding in a friends Tesla I realized that the mixture of OTA updates, unauditable firmware, and the rise of subscription add-ons for cars means that in the future it will likely be necessary . With phones, the cost is

While it can be dangerous preparedness is what matters. I've lived in a desert that reaches 115 degrees in summer my entire life. It's not a place you'd visit from somewhere more temperate but it is survivable, even without A

Vitamin D deficiency is well known enough it should stand up to the simple concern trolling done by people who demand a source like every post must be an academic journal.

Comprehensive entry exams are being done away with a lot of schools. At the university I went to (before I dropped from the program for financial reasons) I simply had to have gotten A's in my last 4 semesters of CS classes. The last 4

This is conjecture but I've done a ton of school. As a life long learner and a person who pursues university education "casually" I have a lot of experience. I don't believe America is running out of teachers. You can ar

It is strange to me you get DBAs applying for data engineering roles. Especially given that DBA is a very specific title and track. The companies I have worked at typically had data engineers separated because it was a highly specialized fo

Unfortunately everything in software engineering gets kind of...wibbly-wobbly. I can generalize for you from my experience but you'll see just how weird it can get: 1. Junior SE: Typically not responsible for anything. Expected to be a

Depends on skill set. A lot of people suggest projects, conferences, etc but I don't think anything like that works at scale. From my seat as a staff-level and involved in hiring: 1. The average "junior" is really a code camp

Most malware is packed and/or obfuscated. I'd imagine this defeats fingerprinting relatively handily since the binary is rewritten. I'm sure this technique is used to catch particularly dumb adversaries, but against anyone wi

Typically the result is a job at the NSA. Though federal positions are criminally underpaid relative to their private counterparts so you have to really have a passion for the mission. Unsurprisingly the government is highly interested in f

I'm not saying to _not_ try it. It's just going to be a dumpster-fire-money-pit that has an extremely high probability of either bankrupting you or producing nothing of significant value. This isn't a shot at OP. The best way

The other side of it is reputation. Academic publishing to a questionable journal (even if it's a good journal) can be a black mark on your career. You not only have to get over the hump of at least break even profit but also convince

Agree. When I was in graduate school the "bad journals" were well known. The pay to play journals are very cleverly disguised, but it's extremely hard to accidentally publish to or cite from one of these journals. There are m

Why would I pay to have my question downvoted, marked duplicate, etc when I've already done the research? If I don't say the right shibboleths the community on stack overflow will just downvote/mock my question. I don't

It sounds like OP has a feature requester who is taking advantage of their passive nature. As you stated people want to avoid conflict, and based on what OP wrote it's obvious this person is taking advantage of that. The only options h

A lot of people are suggesting being cordial. For example, "thank you for the request but we cannot handle it at this time". This works for the usual people asking for feature requests but your problem is not so simple. If you hav

In my experience no matter the field breaking into it via ops is almost a certain way to never get to where you want to be. Cloud Engineering/SRE/MLOps are so in demand a company would be foolish to let you move up unless you real

When you're reliant on healthcare and live in America that is first concern before anything else. Not to turn a post political, but the employer-tied healthcare situation in America is borderline a form of slavery. In tech it is simply

There is a reason technology that requires high levels of stability is mired in layers of approval, review, regulation, etc. It doesn't change much if at all once it works, because the probability of introducing a failure mode is so hi

To be fair I had to look up the term because it's not used anywhere anymore. At least not anywhere I have worked. The few profitable start ups I've had the pleasure to work for (including the current one I am at) heavily leverage
