The better approach is to form a union, in order to address the colossal power imbalance between SpaceX's executive committee and the people who do the actual work. It's likely you'll get fired for that as well, but it's

It was a mistake to participate in this absurd analogy to begin with. You can just stretch it until it becomes convenient again. There is simply no comparing the power dynamic between you and an independent contractor to that of an aerospac

There is no indication that the persons who drafted the letter were "incomplete and/or lazy", nor was that the pretext given by SpaceX management.

Deciding not to associate with you or provide you with a platform for saying what you want has nothing to do with your ability to say it. Enjoy Substack.

You don't employ your plumber full time, perennially. Your episodes of petty tyranny probably do not threaten your plumber's livelihood and/or career. Furthermore if your plumber gives you indications on how to avoid damaging

Is this the first pen test tool you've seen? No, they aren't responsible, morally or legally or however you want to slice it. At all. Not one bit.

Oh, hey, I used that. During the OS 101 course at UQÀM. It was alright. Less of a game and more of a tool to wrap around learning exercises though.

I can think of three scenarios in which "risk taking" occurs : First wherever wealth is accumulated in such excremental proportions that risk itself is no longer (as much of) a factor (eg FAANG-tier companies, ultrarich investors)

I asked the question without context because I didn't want to fire the thread off in the wrong direction but I suppose in a comment chain it's fine. For what it's worth we do use containers and K8s heavily at my current job.

I'm asking myself why it's pertinent for an employer to know that their prospects are very, very young and I cannot think of any answer that isn't nefarious in nature. Especially seeing as this is popping up in the middle of

You still get Google results in the end, which are growing more full of blogspam and affiliate link farms every year.

A few years ago I bought a Kobo device. Not sure what it's called. I fired it up and it immediately asked me to create an account, with no option to skip the process. I thought to myself "screw that" and plugged it in so I co

Security fixes, bug fixes, features (etc) also help with future sales. Monthly billing is not and never was for the benefit of end users.

cat-v.org, now that's a domain I haven't seen in a while. Crazy how I used to agree with everything these people (and the suckless.org folks) said and now I'd strictly avoid working with anyone like that.

Fork it, add a bunch of French given names and call it "nombre del bebé". Keep the cycle going.

I've always loved the term "baby name". Makes it seem like you grow out of it eventually and have to switch to an adult name like "Roger" or "Raymond".

Sorry for the late reply, but I chose the term "background" over "degree" for this very reason.

It doesn't help that so many concepts on CompSci show up in different places under different names and labels. I haven't participated in technical interviews in a long time, but when I was asked to do it, I made it a point to thro

I'm sure it's both. As in, much of what they did spend likely went to snake oil salesmen. I've met lots of security consultants who did not have backgrounds in math or compsci.

That would imply that the individual in question cannot imagine any incentive to work other than the profit motive, which in my eyes is not only an extremely depressing notion to contemplate, but also one that falls apart very rapidly if

I don't believe the Leninist notion of communism incorporated the idea of "not working for a living" either, but I could be wrong.

I am immediately reminded of the Soviet union's full employment policy, and the absurd jobs they had to invent in order to fulfill it. As a matter of fact they regarded a lack of unemployment as a clear indicator of the superiority o
