I'll supplement this good advice by recommending pair programming. You will pick up a ton of stuff just sitting down at one keyboard with another programmer.

You are right, of course, generally speaking. It -- corruption -- seems to be one of humanity's most intractable problems. But just talking only about the FDA specifically, they are clearly in the pockets of the pharmaceutical industry

You don't care about custom ROM scene, but by purchasing Huawei's products when you have plenty of other highly-competitive choices, you are supporting their ethical standards. And thus by proxy you are declaring your support

Seems dubious. A test to show you are addicted to opiates does not exist, and also your own experiences do not represent the experiences of every person that ever used drugs.

“We believe it is inappropriate for the state to substitute its judgment for the judgment of the regulatory, scientific and medical experts at FDA.” If this doesn't tell you all you need to know about regulatory capture and the FDA...

I play a fork of his Pixel Dungeon called Shattered Pixel Dungeon literally every time I have a free minute (e.g. waiting in line at the bank, using the restroom, laying in bed trying to sleep, etc). It does not surprise me in the least to

Grant (3Blue1Brown) sounds exactly like a friend of mine named Brad. Just absolutely uncannily sounds exactly like him, even in his intonations and quirks. I've been watching his videos for over a year and using his epiphany-driving

Yeah, Huawei also sells shitty phones with locked bootloaders. Not interested in any case, cheating or no.

You don't specifically say one way or the other, but your phrasing made me curious: Would you assert that big tech companies do treat the red team fairly? I don't know how many people will reply, but if you are reading this, I w

Which makes the original parent and dang's post even better.

That's quite useful information. Thank you.

Seems like they're always bitching about something. How about innovating, guys?

Those bullshit jobs which pull the great bulk of humanity together to pay the mortgage and buy groceries and degrees and Beanie Babies and cocaine... They are the substrate from which real progress grows.

Worse. Do you think somehow cramming more wishlist kitchen sinks into systemd made it faster?

by fapjacks 8y ago
That's quite an apt metaphor. Except you do it thirty times in order to make sure you're putting them back together correctly.

This is literally the one thing "the systemd people" -- which is to say, Red Hat -- fell back on when their backs were to the wall after having their short list of sales pitch lies refuted. If none of the other supposed benefits

Did... Did you just call Oracle "trusted"?

That's why I qualified my statement.

You're totally right -- and I'm not saying you're advocating that position -- but it's a terrible answer to say to people: Just get rich enough not to have those problems. For years I almost blew a head gasket trying to

I was a bit surprised to read that comment, as well. Opportunities multiply as they are seized. OTOH, do not interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake (that was a joke). Anyone in this position has an opportunity many many others do

Literally ten percent of American pop culture is one hundred percent Swedish. I married a Swede and it gave me an opportunity to see that there is an incredibly tight feedback loop between Sweden and the States, in some incredibly particula

I'm interested in everything you write about. Thank you!

Heh I should be more precise. During the summer storm season (for example the attacks last week across most of the popular networks), most networks deploy spambot countermeasures that they don't typically run on a normal day. But when

Hey! I love Dropbear for embedded! Sending you a long-distance highfive!

by fapjacks 8y ago
A word of caution: Many (most) IRC spambot detectors check if your connecting IP is also running a Dropbear SSHd service. This can cause you to be k-lined in some instances, and it's not immediately obvious to basically everyone why th

Right, because serverless is actually just a cover for "de-commoditizing" the cloud services that companies like AWS built to commoditize datacenters. You hit the nail on the head. It's not completely useless to help less tec

In fact, you may be surprised to learn that there are not only two, but actually three universal certainties: Death, taxes, and the sendmail guy wishing for stricter protocols.

"some apolitical procedure of interpretation" I'm down. But who gets to decide what's an apolitical procedure of interpretation? And what does that even look like?

WebKit is the only open source project I've ever needed to dig into which immediately signaled onerous complexity, and did not disappoint on that instinct until I gave up. You, too, can have this experience, if you really want. Take
