Since you absolutely have to run everything you plan on sending to a mailing list via spamassassin beforehand, mail-tester.com is a great tool. It saves the annoying work of cobbling together a spamassassin test script and integrating it in

The pain point for what you want there is the versioning and deployment side of things: how you update the application as atomically as possible. I need to get Lambda Complex into real apps for a while in order to understand what is really,

It has been the case for years now that you really have to include ad and tracking blockers for browsers in your testing process somewhere, even if it's just a manual run-through in the smoke test section. Though I think that more than

Once you are over the initial hurdle of creating a config file, which is sort of like picking words you like while browsing a dictionary, ESLint is a great replacement for the JSHint and JSCS combination - much more compact and less finicky

I've carried out that alteration/redlining in every tech work contract I've signed. It has never been a blocking issue, and it is usually the case that the people handling the details of hiring are unaware of the details of t

Like near all potential solutions this fails on the "it only takes one" point. The Fermi Paradox is better thought of as the Wilderness Paradox. Why is everything that we see natural, explained solely by the laws of physics? It on

I'm not sure I see the problem with "everything computes". If every physical process can be shown to be isomorphic with one or more computational algorithms, which seems like a very reasonable supposition at this point given

I'm presently about three quarters done with writing one of these myself; Lamdba plus SQS plus arbitrary functions. I have a different take on deployment, going with CloudFormation. Version updates are something you have to think about

It remains crazy that whiteboarding in interviews is even a thing. We don't test to see how well candidates perform interpretive dance, and that bears about as much semblance to real work in this profession as does a whiteboard exercis

Thus the whiteboard coding exercise has materialized for me perhaps twice in the past decade, and both times have been a reminder of just how terrible it is as an interview strategy. It is Slow, Slow, Slow I am actually greatly in favor of

A prediction that is widespread in fiction and futurology but rarely made explicitly is that we work to make reality of our myths. Myth is a representation of the world we want to live in, on balance: it is the digest of all stories that ar

Mileage varies. I my experience AngularJS works well with quality teams who come into the Javascript ecosystem with a front-end / design / HTML background. They get the markup-based systems; it's less of a leap. I can think o

Astrophysics is as solid as particle physics and plasma physics; it's the other laboratory used to confirm fundamental theory. The models are very good. There is a natural explanation for every well observed phenomenon that fits all kn

The problem is that if you exclude the scenarios that obviously didn't happen you are still left with no likely scenarios given the present consensus understanding of biology and physics. The timescale for megascale engineering to occu

Two things to bear in mind when thinking about the Fermi paradox: 1) The more important observation is that everything we see is a wilderness of apparently natural origins and processes, not that we have apparently not been visited. 2) No h

There are a lot of useful things you can do at a small scale. Take setup examples; those are useful for other people and useful for you in the future as they preserve something that you had to spend time figuring out. Near all infrastructur

Part of the problem talks about the solution. The real problem for a small company mail server isn't setting up a respectably secure operation: set up SPF and DKIM and you're good to go. The problem is maintaining deliverability f
