Needing to cast nil to a type was weird. C/C++/Java/Python don't do that. They also take on the weird Java-ish culture that everything is better if it's written in Go. They also had this weird take on the C++ vtabl

First, I would argue we haven't efficiently used the bandwidth at all. In many places you'll find large swaths of bandwidth not being used at the moment. This gets particularly more pronounced at night. E.g. Why can't I use

> Any auction is a tax, that gets increased and passed along to users. The FCC is a cost center. Enforcement costs needs money which comes from taxes (auction or income). So to me it's a wash regardless of where the money comes fr

I appreciate the Rust approach where Rust <-> C and Rust <-> Python get along really well together. They really thought about interoperability with existing infrastructure. Java wanted everyone to rewrite everything in Java bec

I do think people should tend to be more verbose with variable names, in general. And since it's python, use snake case to add faux white space to help the eyes parse the statement.

Ever had someone make a mistake that cost you time or money and then tried to laugh it off as no big deal? That's what this feels like. The security industry needs to grow up. The best thing they should have done is fire the CEO, apo

Edited to add: I don't think it's fashionable to hate Boeing. I argue it's your civic duty to be outraged by it. There's a minimum cost at which things can be constructed. If Boeing wants 4 sigmas of a safety margin in

I think what's important is that most SMR drives can only write a few MB per second anyway once their buffer gets saturated. That's well within wifi/100M ethernet speeds. I feel like 10gb superspeed hardware is more than a f

I'm going through the process of making a custom macropad myself. I used the rp2040 as the processor. And now that the macropad is mostly complete, I do believe though that the next one I do will have an RPi or a CM4 compute module em

The big problem with LoRa today is that in some places, the typical frequencies you can use for LoRa (915MHz in the US) are saturated with traffic. Also LoRa literally is Long Range, and those IoT packets might be heading out >1 mile fr

Right, so do you, or do you not, run the same security stack on your DR systems? If you do you're f'ed. If you don't you might also be f'ed particularly if you're in the middle of an attack. DR isn't in and o

I don't buy your argument that the artistic jobs are any more special than any other job impacted by AI. Writers, software engineers, truck drivers, managers, etc. People already buy cheap/shitty art to hang on the walls from Wal

There's nothing different than what Delta did and what most F500 corporations did, other that many companies don't use Crowdstrike. After that it's all the same stack with the same liabilities on it. All the while hoping your

So that's your argument? His analogy is wrong? Ergo, you don't have to argue the broader argument of people resenting technology because it puts them out of jobs? A lot of good arguments exist with bad analogies.

That was probably because the NSA and other critical government agencies use Microsoft Exchange and it was a bug found in the wild. But if it wasn't a bug found in the wild, can you imagine the fights between the NSA red and blue teams
