I am a C# dev who plays with python in my spare time. In coding interviews, some interviewers want compiler approved code. That's a lot less writing with python than with C#. The problem is I'm just not as confident with python

This is similar to what I've seen from numerous Non-Govt orgs that try to help in other countries. A very specific example. In the US, there was a research team building a (post earthquake) hut that could be built with only plywood an

Kymeta is coming out with a directional flat antenna. It wouldn't suit for a phone but I don't think these are meant for phones. I was not saying cell phone would have spinny disks on the top. The last part is, where I think the

There is a startup called... googling... Kymeta. That is creating shape changing satellites for cars, planes, and ships. Encryption might be handled by default with the https nature of the web now. But it'll just make https even more

Bleh - the router example was bad. Sorry I didn't think that one through too much. I did an update though. You're right on the signal degradation being significantly lower. But the LEO aspect means that there might be a higher

There is another constellation system (I forget the name) and they're going to have a partnership with GEO to beam signals for customers as the satellites pass over the equator.

by bargl 8y ago
Well dang. That's a really good point. I remember early cell phones that would drop signal when running between towers. The hard part here is that you have to target the beam at the satellite. It's not a wide angle beam that&#x

This is such a cool problem. We already have a ton of Geo sat which can do this kind of communication but they are super expensive and have a limited bandwidth. These satellites will actually have a ton of limitations in how much data they

I can think of a few reasonable explanations. The first being that it probably defaults to whoever is at the top of the ballot. I.E. The incumbent and in this case a Republican. "Never attribute to malice that which is adequately exp

I was trying not to put a limit on it so I just put the lower end. I think an average of 1-2 per year isn't abnormal at all.

I'm not saying it's get's harder to learn a new language vs a first language. It is easier to learn C++ after C. It isn't that it's hard to do. It's that it can be exhausting to do it for the 4th or 5th time,

I had someone call us the Expense team. I put an end to that pretty quickly. It is an easy wedge to drive between sales and engineering.

There is an expectation and honestly a need to keep up with changes to the industry that I haven't seen in other fields. Any older dev has had to transition at least 1-2 languages and it's not an easy step. That doesn't eve

I will, in the future, walk away from any contract that contains a non-disparagement clause. It is not worth it.

by bargl 8y ago
If you think a non-compete is bad, look at something like a non-disparagement clause. I'd recommend anyone who encounters a Non-disparagement clause (in this case strictly in a employment agreement) in a contract walk away from said co

Geosync orbits have a de-orbit requirement (at least US operations do). So they have to keep enough fuel to go into a higher orbit after their lifetime. This wasn't always the case but it is now. Also Geo orbit (while popular) is onl

I'm not saying it's good or the right solution, but there is something there. I just think it's fair to point out that they have an option even if it does suck.

There is some small amount of protection involved. They have to offer COBRA (I'm not sure about a company going belly up) at the same rate they pay. Which means you get a negotiated rate. I've done this and it's fucking ex

This is an awesome way to quantify the happiness you feel as a order of time. I wish I did this on a daily basis so that I could see the things that contribute and take away from my personal happiness. I tend to be a pretty introspective

Wouldn't software engineers need to unionize to do that effectively? I'm asking from knowledge 0 about unions etc. So how would that work?

I'm curious, as a C# developer myself. Why didn't you jump over to F#? I've looked at both as a FP next step for my own career, but I haven't made the plunge with either. Thanks for the write-up. Really hit the spot f
