Came out of private mode on my phone to upvote this. One key point I'd like to add though is that you must _always_ run git diff before committing anything. There's been enough times where that has saved me from erraneously commit

Some people become police officers because it's a stable job with a pension. I have a buddy who might become a corrections officer but I don't think it's because he's excited to baton an inmate as much as the salary and

I think they're both proper but I feel like it'd be better titled "The CIA's guide to writing well.". Just being pedantic though maybe.

I feel like a lot of people have a lot of trouble appreciating the wars that _didn't_ happen under American hegemony. I don't believe we're perfect in anyway, but under our influence the world has been more peaceful and inter

I've found the key is to have a dedicated office. Being able to enter a room and enter work mode and then also being able to close that door at the end of the day is really helpful. I trued working from home once where my desk was in m

I find managing upwards is the best way to deal with these situations. I've had micromanagers before and no one enjoys that random "hey wheres X at?" question so what I do is give status updates every so often. I avoid the st

I wouldn't call the MTA inept, I'd say the fact the United States as a whole doesn't invest a substantial amount of money in improving the transit systems for the nations most important metropolitan area is what's inept.

Yep. I'm off facebook but I've been thinking about blocking hackernews and fark at the router level if I could. At some point you have to start doing things instead of reading about the people who are.

Similarly to your seemingly effective quick nip in the butt, when it comes to the other end of the spectrum where you're the one who has a problem I've always found that being open, sincere, and forward quickly tends to be the bes

Alcohol is getting a pretty bad rap to me the more I read about it. After reading this I was curious about ways to _increase_ hippocampal function. According to [0] it seems like exercise can increase hippocampal function. Another link I ca

Isn't the USA pretty much middle of the pack when it comes to percentage of GDP spent on the military? And I feel like I don't hear too much about Raytheon Billionaires although I'm sure some of the upper echelon at these big

Hmm, I'm all for Apple's entry into the autonomous car sector. The more players the better in my opinion. Autonomous cars have the promise to reduce congestion, asthma rates, and lives lost to car crashes and they'll be a tre

Thanks for saying this Jacquesm. I've read several of your articles over time so to receive unexpected correspondence from a respected engineer is, to say the least, very cool. You're absolutely right. I find that one of the bigge

And then you need to realize that if you spend a bit of time every day doing a little something, you'll be able to deliver some pretty big things over time. The hardest part, I find, is starting. But once I do, boy is it a lot of fun t

I was actually curious if it might not have been designed not for the number of addresses but for the average distance between any two addresses in use. Won't this make scanning the address space nigh on untenable for the foreseeable f

To differentiate your traffic like that did you use something like wireshark to intercept the router traffic? That's pretty neat, I'd like to check mine out.

I think a big thing about AI with Apple is the fact that their stance on privacy makes it a bit harder to compete with the harvested data sets of Google. From what I understand though, according to the reactions on the papers they released
