Article is apparently about microbes and not insects (lol.) The author also uses the word "evolve" but is this really correct? Doesn't it literally take millions of years for evolutionary changes? IMO: what's happening i

As chance would have it I've recently implemented a Turn client and a STUN client. Turn = a way to proxy UDP or TCP cons from host A to host B. STUN = a protocol that shows what your externally mapped port and IP is. From this you can

Another clickbait article based on strawman's by an author with no clue what the blockchain is for. Yawn, nothing to see here.

1276 deps... how is that even possible for a simple HTTP fetcher. Does node have no standard library? actually amazing.

I get the sentiment but how exactly is raising literal millions in funds 'middle class' in startups? If I had a million dollars I could put together a team of founders who needed about 20k per year each to survive and we wouldn&#x

I read the paper briefly on this. I get that you can 'transfer' a socket to another host by sending where you are in the stream and its state. What I don't get is how exactly does the 'peer' change to the new socket

Many moons ago, I wrote a prototype on Azure's 'confidential computing' VMs that demonstrated how a computer could 'prove' to another that it was running certain code using 'attestations.' I thought it was

Except most commercial code bases are tangled rats nests and it would take a substantial effort to understand anything beyond the most basic details. My view of interviewing is it should require no special effort on the part of the engineer

I can't imagine they would be able to 'blind' their experiments for participants though? I mean, when you start tripping balls it becomes clear you got given the LSD and not something else... Unless they use like sub-threshol

Wow, what a cool service. It would be fascinating to see what could be done if you bought a lot of plugin devices and then just gave them out to neighbors.

Too close to April 1st for me to know if this is real or not. I can see benefits but it also seems so strange it's hard to tell.

If you're looking for ideas on what to write about I'd love to learn more about networking on the ISP side of things. I know about routers, TCP/IP, sockets, and so on, but my knowledge of the complete topology of the Internet

This would be like lvl 99 difficulty to get any kind of approval by researchers though and if it did get approved it would probably cause a political shit storm. People are now scared of both vaccines and viruses. They want to combine both

I was actually reading about this recently and learned about the time problem. Some interesting stuff I remember: * On LAN: NTP can get up to 1ms accuracy and on WAN about 10ms accuracy. * People's 'system clocks' use NTP for

The conflicts are mostly coming from a few loud-mouthed individuals who feel the need to add their worthless opinions to everything (as is typical with most 'thought-leaders' and 'bloggers.') Protip: if you work in tech

'Requirements' is business language and has nothing to do with engineering. If you work for a startup or big tech company there is probably already a product road map in place and people should know what to build already. It'

What a truly beautiful and elegant design. This is so reminiscent of the hacker ethos in how it captures the potential and love of technology. How can a project this creative not be more famous? I have seen many of these kinds of 'smal

If your app is too fast you should also make sure to add a sleep() to it so the customer knows that its 'working.' I read a humorous story about a contractor who did that to satisfy a customers complaint that it was too fast.

There are also companies that post fake jobs and then use the good resumes with minor tweaks to help market their own employees. It's so dodgy, wish there was a way to improve transparency.

Let me say that if you do decide to release it it's not just scientists and academics who can stand to benefit. Chances are your paper is less approachable to those outside academia and your code would be easier to understand for an en

Thin clients that verify transactions are possible though. For something like Bitcoin you have SPV-proofs that prove chains of headers. You can prove that a transaction was included in the longest chain without having to run a node yourself

What he says about NFTs is embarrassing, lmao. I've personally never bought them myself but I am enthusiastic about blockchain tech. Is there really no commitment saved for an art work? You would think this was basic shit. Maybe there

Everyone in the blockchain space self-publishes all relevant material hence a journal like this is completely pointless. It also slows down the rate of publishing by requiring ridiculously tedious formatting requirements all so a self-elect
