In the US, there are a dozen or so legally-protected "engineer" title variants and professional designations like "professional engineer" (PE). My degree is accredited for the path of PE, but I would need a reason to go

The ethics of academia requires that computer science shouldn't become a factory pumping-out sausages by the millions by whatever means necessary. Perhaps a prerequisite of the major would be demonstrable knowledge of 2+ programming la

I remember I heard about something called Russiagate, but history never-ever repeats itself. EVER.

On the next installment of speculative FUD, mainstream media, agenda-driven reporting: Do the Chinese subsidize supervillains' labs to manufacture pandemics to kill themselves and the world? Do the Chinese drink the blood of young c

Lessons (not) learned: Go never worked well with semantic versioning or packaging, didn't mature and evolve as a language fast enough for productivity at scale in ways users wanted, became stuck in its ruts, and was overwhelmed by an i

How does new or used make it more or less "shady?"

Second-stringers do this. They can accumulate all of the certifications, bogus "patches," and patents they want, but they'll still have zero street-cred. What's more, companies who promote and advance based on these fact

1. Are you Carnak the Magnificent? Mind-reading much? What number am I thinking of? 2. You can't cure agendas, ignorance, or hate with a politically-correct dictionary. 3. You have no sense of humor. :)

It's more compact than saying: - "middle- and upper-classes taken together" - "people earning over $80k unless they're filing jointly or have 3+ kids" - "let all the shallow people against the poor reveal

Brought to you by The Committee to WfH Forever Campaign. Oh god. Here we go again. The academic "innovation"-measurers have reached a "conclusion." Is "innovation" found on a napkin, a table, or a clock? Does

Yep. It's reform-washing. The problem is the symbiotic corruption of government, media, and extremely rich individuals who are acceleratingly-enriched by ownership of corporations as cash extraction leviathans. The problem Aaron Swartz

Let's hold a committee to propose which harsh words we shall scream at the Googleplex. I vote for "bastards."

Good luck finding a color printer old and serviceable enough to use that doesn't print tracking dots. Also, they're so rare now that it would be circumstantial proof of use if a color page lacked tracking dots and readily matche

Why bother helping corrupt mainstream media or losers like TYT improve their (lack of) journalism? https://twitter.com/TheGrayzoneNews/status/14072056487110123... Why not just watch TJDS and Grayzone?

To be congruent: Better throw away all hip-hop music and anything that's ever been resampled. It's piracy, after all! Don't copy that floppy!

That's not how activism works. No one will pay attention and writing White House online petitions doesn't do anything either.

Sony BMG can talk a long walk off a short pier. They're blood-sucking, rent-seeking, cannibal vampires. If people would watch it, they would pay homeless people to dance and fight each other in LA's canals during a storm, monetize

Meh. Some service or another will pop-up to list the fun stuff governments and their corporate crook masters try to squash.

Cloudflare's public DNS would need to be within this jurisdiction or be hit in a similar way in another jurisdiction. Edit: whoops, I thought Quad9 was an ISP.
