Do it, and innovate real estate investing too. Fix those crappy contracts and low liquidity markets. Make it easier to move capital into these markets. These units could solve so many problems

I read it like a book and Google all the tooling I don't understand. Usually the first page will be something like a make file. Understanding every detail of this file will reveal the many hacks needed to get the project to run and tha

It's a mistake to take Internet culture and compare it literally to real-world happenings because the two don't mean the same things. Here's a simple example of what I mean. In real life: if someone makes a racial slur they k

A channel dedicated to creating point-and-click cracking tutorials for complete [expletives] gets banned (go figure.) People cry: waahhh, free speech, think of the [security researchers.] Sorry, but I fail to see how any of this relates to

I appreciate the insider perspective (though I am definitely not qualified to assess these claims.) Unfortunately, it might be hard to prove these claims either way since it sounds like they have plenty of plausible deniability to fall back

I tried out the last thread not expecting much to come from it and some surprisingly well-matched opportunities came my way. In fact, someone contacted me just yesterday from the same thread and that was over a month ago now! What seems to

If any devs here are interested in learning about trusted computing 101 I can recommend the Open Enclave SDK by Microsoft. They've done a really good job making the technology as accessible to new developers as possible and it might be

Unfortunately, I only see a way to solve this for fungible goods where you would still need to get every actor involved in the supply chain to upgrade to the same secure tracking solution. It could be done in theory with crypto and tamper-p

Not directly relevant but: boy do I love Apples marketing. They put so much passion into conveying their products, its ridiculous. Its almost like their marketing boarders on small art projects and "how its made style docs." I kno

The strangle hold is extremely bad for security, too. All of those Qualcomm chips are designed as black boxes. Nobody knows what kind of horrible flaws are inside them because trying to get at the code is like trying to rob the federal rese

Stuff like this freaks me out and I'm sure I'm not the only one. Thanks for the wake-up call. It's a terrible amount of money to lose. I hope things get better for this guy in the future (and I don't think anyone would s

There's nothing wrong with the GIL as long as you know its there. It makes writing concurrent code in Python semi-magical and thats a huge benefit. Concurrent != parallel though, so if there's really a need to scale up to multiple

Damn the wayback machine has a terrible UX (no offence intended, its still profoundly useful. Could be easier to use though... Make it clear where other content is and possibly indicate how many links on a page are broken. IDK) Here's

This guy seems like the kind of interviewer to quiz you on how to type-cast a binary-void floating function-function pointer array to a U64_INT_WIDE TCHAR and then fail you for not using the right number of spaces in your code. Lmaoo. Would

Is there anything like a web standard for theming? I.e. you have a browser that makes a query to some standard interface for supported themes on a website and it would automatically choose the type that you prefer. Values could be things li

Honestly, I agree with you. I don't mean to discourage anyone trying to learn software engineering but: IMO its something that takes years to learn the fundamentals. There are so many small details that aren't what you expect them

There is definitely a lot of cautionary tales here. I especially relate to the working 24/7 part ;). You'll see the same problem with offers that require you to go to other countries to work. If you're a young person you'

I feel its become very fashionable to dismiss the simpler applications of the tech because of how unrealistically its been applied. It's so easy to do too. Look at the insane valuations, the fraud, and hype cooked up by marketers, and
