Loved that he offered to give out the root password to anyone that wanted to experiment on it. He said something like "burn it down, I have backups". This kid is going to go far with that kind of passion and attitude. He's

One of the comments that stuck out to me from the Reddit thread was this: >> The problem with this transformation is that we lost some of our best and brightest and might lose more. The good ones who remain are the ones who are in a l

There is a great book, called "Tubes: A Journey to the Center of the Internet". It's about the plumbing of the Internet that covers pretty much all the physical aspects of what make the Internet including the undersea cables

Oracle ERP is just as bad. At $job-2 they spend $500m and 5 years to get zero modules of Oracle Retail installed and eventually decided to just continue on with the mainframe legacy systems. The latest Software Engineering Radio has an exc

The issue is the precedent that is made. Once they create the special firmware, even if it is locked to one device, they have stated that law enforcement have already told them they have hundreds more devices they want unlocked. They woul

The mainframe shops I have worked in liked to talk about the continuous uptime of the mainframe, but it was always phrased in "unplanned outages". They still IPLed (Initial Process Load - aka rebooted) the mainframe every Sunday

That seems to be the trend lately. Most of the reviews are polluted with this SPAM now. Amazon Vine is an AMZN sponsored program to enable this. I had a similar issue with a lightning cable purchased on Amazon that claimed to be a licensed

Great point. Another anecdote. When I was in 4th grade, we had a class that had 4 TRS-80 Color Computers in the back. The teacher told us, "You guys can play all the games you want on them. You just have to write them first.".

The difference is that Amazon had no profits in the early days because they poured money into improving their supply chain not selling products at a loss as a strategy. Drop shopping isn't the same as building your own supply chain out

Looks like it will be a good week to be a Cisco salesman. Hopefully Juniper can get past this as the competition between them is a healthy thing for the marketplace.

It's also a shame you can't use their own firewall rules with CloudSQL, or even specify instance tags to allow traffic inbound to CloudSQL. You have to specify IP ranges (CIDR) for each of your hosts. Makes it near impossible to

Yes. It's fascinating to watch these companies evolve. A few years ago AWS was all about price reductions. Now, they are focused on large enterprises and most of their R&D is on features that appeal to that set. Google seemed t

I've been using both GCP and AWS for awhile now and think they both have their strengths and weaknesses. AWS has an amazing breadth and depth to their offering that GCP can't match. GCP has some very nice little features though su

I heard their CTO give a talk that F# was an advantage for them because being based in NYC there are a lot of F# developers due to the finance industry. Your mileage may vary outside of NYC.

A former co-worker used to work at Dunkin' Brands HQ and said the franchisees call the coffee "black gold". Outside of the cup it's pure profit. He said it was pretty comical that you could always tell when a franchisee
