I made this mistake with my last move. Everything 100% done, contract signed, put in notice etc. Then a couple of days later they want a background check. Sure, I have no history, but what if I had? Or what if someone with the same name had

This was really interesting to read. It seems almost like a kind of magic to be able to reduce your program to a small replication. I suppose if you can get to an AST then you are pruning trees/leaves which seems more within reach, but

I enjoy the way that he openly talks about his errors. Once you've taken a position on a topic publicly it can be hard to walk that back.

I was about to make the same recommendation. Marc Fenell is great, he's been a beloved figure in Australian radio for some time. He has a very compassionate view on the world.

It really is a nice channel. I can't find the exact video right now but I remember one where he compared a horrid stroad with a lovely Dutch street. The Dutch version contained two single lane streets, bike lanes, a lightrail line and

Doing arithmetic on __LINE__..... I'm mostly impressed and very slightly horrified. So of course I'll be stealing this.

I'm amazed at how long I've been working in python and never known that assignment works in this way. I suppose I just avoid parts of the language that I don't understand. Looking through the archives, it's a really inte

Very impressive, particularly for an undergrad thesis! It's almost magical how quickly fuzzing can find bugs, even in mature software.

I've needed this for myself. I have hundreds, possibly thousands, of snippets of code scattered around my machines, all doing small bits of something. But instead of being able to find the snippet I end up googling around for 10 minute

One thing I like about make is that you get an automated bash completion for targets, which I find helpful. Is there an equivalent sneakiness for doing this with this style of script?

I would suggest asset protection. I used to work for a company (Droneshield) that would provide protection from drone-based sabotage/intelligence gathering/smuggling. It's a big field, but if you could, for instance, set up a

I was impressed with this. I was worried it'd be formulaic, but it was really a play-by-play on how to find people interested in your product. What I loved was that it showed that it's real work to do this, and people can tell. I

Perhaps this is an American thing. I've never had someone look at or care about my (inactive) github account. It's not even on my resume, though if it was active I might put it on there. Or, maybe I'm just doing it wrong.
