> I currently manage no direct reports and ship a lot of code. Not in an “I dabble when I have free time in between meetings” way, but in an “I shipped multiple substantial features last quarter” way Very loose definition of a CTO.

Yeah, its a perfectly fine system. You don't have a friend who you don't talk about the same things that you talk about with another friend? Or things you don't share with family? whats the difference?

The FBI is going to take time building up the case, flipping people, getting recordings, and trying to get as many people involved to not just stop the games but hopefully take down the entire crime families involved. LA Poker pros will sta

I made a comment above about some, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45684035#45684826 Ceph is what I think but there are lot of alternatives.

Ceph is an open source project run by a foundation. Minio is a company backed by VCs looking for a return. There is also seaweedfs, powerscale, openstack swift and hyperstore. The S3 compatible space is crowded.

By the constitution states are not allowed to issue currency. Triggering a default would lead to devaluation of bonds and probably currency, but why would it stop elections?

What? Can you explain how you are getting from a to.... z here? He defaults on debt, and then the election goes away in 3 years?

This is one of those I should have known better moments. But I have never put together Alexander Dumas the author being related (son of) to Thomas-Alexander Dumas of Haiti/France despite them both being French, mix-race and overlapping

I would like a mixture of punishment and rehabilitation. If some kid shoplifts, then the balance should be in favor of rehabilitation. If someone commits treason or murder, then that balance is entirely on punishment, there is not rehabilit

Wasn't Elon kind of treated like a child to be distracted and kept at arms length at Spacex? He is apparently really really good at fundraising, marketing and publicity (well he used to be anyways). But the stories that have come out o

There have been plenty of solutions for a while. Pivotal Cloud Foundry, Open Shift, etc. None of these were "turnkey" though. If you're doing consulting, is it more newer, easier to install/manage tech, or is it cost?

Global auth is and has been a terrible idea.

There are laws at the county and city levels as well as state levels. So this is insufficient.

GCP as I understand it is the E-commerce/retail choice for this reason. Not Amazon being the main reason. Honestly as a (very small) shareholder in Amazon, they should spin off AWS as a separate company. The Amazon brand is holding AWS

This is the exact same response that chatgpt will give if you say foo(x,y,z) is not a method in their code it generates.

I am not one to jump on the "This is AI" train. But the "author" responding is absolutely AI, I would bet vast sums of money on it. It reads exactly like chatgpt.

The cost to run data-centers for a large company that is past the co-location phase, I am not sure where those calculations come out to. But yeah in my experience, running even a fairly large amount of bare metal nix servers in colocation f

Every large organization that is all in on cloud I have worked at has several teams doing cloud work exclusively (CICD, Devops, SRE, etc), but every individual team is spending significant amounts of their time doing cloud development on to

This looks like the only thing these instructions do is reduce emojis, highlighting/bolding, and removes a couple flavor words. The content is identical, the arguments the same. This doesn't really seem to be useful when you are a

Because "We got hacked by the concerted efforts of China/Russia" sounds much better than "We literally never update php or linux, and John Script Kiddy Jones pwnd us".

The fact is most developers in most companies have very little choice. Many medium to large companies (1k-50k employees) the CTO gets wined and dined by AWS/Azure/Oracle and they decide to move to that cloud. They bring in their s

100% agree with you. I took a corporate training, and at one point crammed for the developer cert. It it just marketing. There is never a question where the answer is "Just run this service on EC2 yourself". It is about maximizing

SB79 is a great step forward for California. Hopefully other states implement similar (and more aggressive) bills in their states. My dream world would see an elimination of local zoning as we do in the US, and a move to a zoning system mor

I only play with this stuff as a hobbiest. But OpenGL is way more simple than Vulkan I think. Vulkan is really really complicated to get some basic stuff going.

Corporations take their revenue to pay people as either employees or shareholders. I am not sure why we need to tax corporations at all. Take employees as income perhaps, tax dividends, tax shares being sold, but allow companies to use thei

Big Tech spending $300 Billion on infrastructure is a really good reason for power companies and the government to build power infrastructure faster. Where there is money, there is a way. The US is starting to talk about (finally) opening u
