I lived there for 35 years. Her Majesty Laurie only bestows a few CCWs to a handful of business people and her buddies. People can apply for CCWs all they want, but she'll never issue them willingly. She's a bureaucrat and a crook

I taught myself for a long time before breezing through a reputable EE/CS program. I always did both software dev and sysadmin. I worked up at numerous big-name shops and universities in multiple fields, starting at 15.5 yo. (I should&

I'm an SRE/SRM in the mid six-figures range, but I've had some experiences like anyone else. I love it when they give you "homework" that they just forget about. They asked me about numerous technologies, and I went

Sensory deprivation. It works. Basically, reduce all forms of stimulus and let your mind space-out without any intention.

Yes. Separation between church and state (and wealth and mass media and journalism and politics) Civil marriage and some wills should be replaced with a property and next of kin registered document. This way, any number and type of people c

Hello ad blocker my old friend I've come to enable you again Because an ad softly shouting Left its seeds while I was watching And the headache, that was planted in my brain... still remains Within the sound of content In restless drea

Yes. Two things might be conflated: innate attribute (ie, biological gender) and awareness (ie, type of cancer). A mother's day#, aunt's day, or a men's day seems to subtly poke at how a group is taken for granted; that doesn

I agree in general. Special days for a group seems like a subtle dig rather than genuine gratitude. Plus, aren't there underdog groups like homeless, speech disfluent, ADD, sex workers, struggling immigrants, seriously depressed, bipol

I don't believe any identity group needs a day because can come across as trite and patronizing. Golden Rule, gratitude, and go forth.

I had to buy brakleen, candle wax, candle dye, distilled water, ethylene glycol, dish soap, food coloring, and a capping machine to fix mine. What a PITA. Old lava lamps bought off eBay. I should've just hit the refresh button and wait

Documentation is all well and good, but also having people who can solve domain problems rather than just describe them ought to be a priority among many to have a mix in the organization. Less capable people can document what someone more

Pretty soon, Apple will tell you what the name of your app will be and what it should be about. Oh and nothing older than X years will be allowed to run. Tighten the screws until users repurchase hardware. Take that, hackintoshes and virtu

Extremely dangerous idea down the rabbit hole towards annihilation of open society. Reprehensible, but not imminently-dangerous, speech must be allowed because that is, unfortunately, the price (tradeoff) of an open and free society. Otherw

Speaking of being gaslit, is everyone who applies to the Triplebyte told they received "among the highest score ever?" I know I'm adequately good but not a poet-ninja-pirate of software dev. So, it seemed like obvious BS tha

The MIC will find a way to make a flying car/moon rocket that fires Hellfires and a gatling railgun. Let's call it a multi-program total cost of $40 terabucks that could've given every American a nice home (household assets a

Argh! Package dependency hell of the second kind: mandatory requirements. It could be A Good Thing™ parts are being rewritten in Rust, but the costs, performance, and modularity of maintaining vs. ditching cairo needs to be weighed. Having

This seems like another signal of an overall trend. Post-sj, Cupertino seems to be getting progressively laxer about testing, quality, usability, and overall excellence in software and hardware. It's a shame. :'(

I don't think there's a one-sized-fits-all solution without something custom and extremely expensive ($15k+). Maybe a Lenovo T480 for most purposes and a dedicated second screen for color correctness? I had a Dell Studio XPS 1645

I was underweight and borderline anemic through early 20's and it didn't make a difference, but still huffed and puffed. I could do low intensity things like cycling for 10 hours a day, no problem, but jogging, swimming, or runnin

Politics is a realm the average person has no power in, yet many adhere to tribal, cargo cult fashions and canards that divide-and-conquer people into atomized groups of one. Is that political or apolitical? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Throw politics ou

Consumer-oriented novelty obsession (new == better + secure) and code churn "job security." If something works and is quality for what it does, it works. Does "ls" really need to be perpetually maintained with minor, inc

I've never been able to run a mile without stopping or under 10 minutes. I've had my heart cath'd and stress tested, nothing wrong there. Would the intensity of HIIT and endurance of cross-country cardio be useful for signifi

I think you're right. The issue is, due to the power law distribution of talent, the sample size of such roles (and personalities, i.e., how many Python BDFL's are there?) is incredibly small, so it makes precise assessments diffi

Any guess on what a major FOSS dev grosses? It has to be at least $700k. $1.5m/yr? $3m? About $200k/yr+, it's a good idea to find a lawyer or similar talent agent to workout the compensation package because they have the skil

I was also going to say, don't fall into test question traps and err on the side of modesty or simulating poverty. What you do for a living is a proxy for wealth and prestige, so it's typically better to not respond directly rega

I hope I can feel your pain. I just moved to Austin without GF(s)/FWBs, a friend network, or any social media other than anon posting here and there. I am noticing the females here are more receptive per attractiveness and cool factor
