If people survive such a crazy stunt, you congratulate them, if not, you bury them and the director. Risking people's lives for a few seconds of film is not worth it.

There are a lot of highly terrible government contracting agencies out there who charge enormous fees and who knows who actually does the work given the likelihood no one even validates any of the work. Suck our taxpayer money out of the sy

I knew a team that did 4GL on AS/400s (generating RP4 I think) and they were all about how superior their tool was and how terrible the Java team was in comparison and how they would never be out of a job. Within a couple years none we

All of these companies may have a functional business and can stick around, but they are not worth the valuation present in their stock. Even Tesla is not worth anywhere near $1T. In the end you have to eventually earn enough to support the

I can't, why is this even a requirement? Are they worried about a Google Glass like thing? Actually surprised they don't require you to take the test naked.

Also remember that apps do not run continuously in background, which would make the data only useful if the user was actively running your app. I don't believe the data is precise enough to do much that could be nefarious. Also trying

Custom allocators have always been available for specialized needs, even the JDK ships with a number of options which each can be tuned further. I wrote a fast and safe memory allocator for the old MacOS that was briefly popular before MacO

A college friend of mine intends to pursue a PhD in Chemistry once he retires (soon). I was accepted back in the early 80's but instead spent 4 decades doing programming. I decided to do art instead of going back to school. Sometimes I

In WW2 sailors fought horrific battles with fire and damage while under fire and trying to keep from dying. Yet today it appears no one gives a shit about training. We dump massive money into building new ships (with tech that often is path

In my last job until I retired this year, I spent 5.5 years writing only Swift at a large (not FAANG) company. It took the entire mobile team about that time to retire most of the Obj-C codebase(s). Swift is by far my favorite language desp

Yeah end of decade, as long as you don't specify which decade. I wish I could go into space, but don't expect to become a billionaire or live long enough for it to be cheap.

I retired this year after 4 decades of writing code; now I write code to make art (in addition to other digital painting and effects). The code is actually much harder than anything I ever did before since I don't use other people&#x27

Few languages ever die completely. Even Jovial is still used in some places (I learned it in 1982). I have not seen any mention of PL/1 in decades, however. I learned APL in 1979 and found it an amazing language at the time, though I n

As an artist I would love to sell something for $69M. But I have not yet put a single item up for sale as an NFT as it seems so silly, you are selling a node in a merkle/patricia/etc tree, not a piece of art. The NFT art that is a

I know exactly what you describe, I had migraines for many decades; oddly enough now that I am older I still get the aura, but the headache itself is barely a Tylenol. I also had cluster headaches one summer in college; now those are truly

Sometimes I wish I had started/completed my Chemistry PhD 4 decades ago, about the right time for a Nobel... Instead I wrote code the whole time. No Nobel for that.

I fill up my voicemail ever week, 99% of them from the area code of my phone, which is 1500 mi from where I live now, and all are spam. I wish I could just block an area code.
