Kindle Scribe works offline (i have the wifi turned off all the time). I think you can upload books and the like offline as well using an App (i usually send books over email, though)

1. The offer is good. I was aiming at 12% more, though. Can we work it out? 2. Is on call mandatory? 3. Are there any plans to move away from 100% remote work?

The chances of landing on an IT job for which I can take pride in, is 100% remote and that pays well is very low. To begin with, I dislike all the faang-like companies. Besides, being good at programming makes it easier to deal with BS jobs

I do the “programming as art” in my free time, when working on my own side projects. I do it because it’s fun and I take proud on what I produce. For work stuff? I couldn’t care less if the code comes from me, my colleagues or an LLM. As lo

I don’t mind too much doing them as long as they are within working hours and the expectations are not high. Anything else, no thanks.

I didn’t know that Physics was about understanding reality (sure, from a romantic perspective yeah). I always thought it was about making our lives better (like any other branch of science). I believe we will never find out what’s the real

I didn’t assist my bachelor degree and master degree graduation. Same for high school. But over here (southern and western europe), graduations are not like in the american movies. Never regretted not assisting.

The problem is that the team doesn’t trust you (not you in particular). So everything needs to be discussed within at least some of the team members and your PM/EM. Meetings are for that (because it gets messy via chat only). I don’t

Don’t get the relationship with remote jobs. If AI is replacing us(huge if)… why does it matter if the setup is remote or office-based?

Most of the (tech) companies out there don’t need the “best” engineers to succeed. Tired of seeing how we reject candidates simply because they haven’t worked for known companies or because they cannot reverse a bin tree in 20 min. Mind you

I have to agree. If I have to decide between no covid + RTO vs covid + WFH, well, the second is it.

What about using a linux VM and mount the directory that contains the source code in your mac so that you can edit it via your favourite editor/IDE? I use multipass/qemu on my m2 and it works wonders. Another benefit is that I don

If I want to know about Operating System, I know which books to read. What's the equivalent for backups? It seems to me I merely rely on blog posts and that's something I'm not comfortable with. There are some books out there

Honestly, I like to work on such systems because: - there is so much stuff to improve. There’s nothing better than the feeling of improving things with code (or by removing it) - it’s back to school again and everything goes. You can implem

The problem usually lies in the intersection: you want to write about an important work topic (management, broken tech interviews).

Isn’t this the same as zero-day vulnerabilities? Typically only a bunch of people out there know how to take advantage of such holes, and eventually they get fixed. I guess if public key cryptography gets broken, only a bunch of people woul

Yes, there's also that side. You're right. When I wrote my comment I was thinking more about the classic tech company/startup. But definitely there are other kind of companies more local (and in the past they were more common

If the product that breaks in the night is SO important for the company, well, why is not the company paying for dedicated people (not the engineers who create the product) to take care of it when it's broken? As said above, while on-c

I think there’s a difference between being right and being technically right (I wrote about the latter). For example, being technically right could mean not to lend money to your best friend because you have historical proof that the money

Let's forget about the small shady scrapers. What about OpenAI? My bet is that they run their scrapers in Azure/AWS/GCP. Let's ban the big cloud providers.

Wouldn't it be possible to block IP ranges that belong to known cloud providers? Normal people using the browser don't have such IP address assigned. You would be blocking as well other kind of visitors (scrappers and the like), b

Despite all the negativity towards Wolfram, he’s one of the few out there whom I’m jealous about. He gets to work on his own products, gets time to develop his own theories about important stuff and using his own tools. That’s basically my
