Smells like a CISO suck-up job. Doesn't mention that the developers are paralyzed and unable to work.

All of the trickiest software I ever wrote was preceded by an exhaustive explanation to management to let me write it. In the end, the trick was political, not technical. I could single-line-summary any of the changes and they would sound a

Reading between the lines, poor Stanich had a close family member go deep with heroin, if not succumb. That's a burden that's just awful, and completely separate from critic damage. I've found that the rest of a top 10 list i

I've been having an issue with scaling in KDE Plasma with multiple monitors. Have you been able to resolve that with Neon? I have my 4k laptop monitor at 2x scaling, but then my 1080p monitors are also 2x scaled, and unusable. I'v

What? Coping is personal, but planning would be critical. Long Term Disability Insurance is totally a thing. One would probably make different reproductive decisions among other choices. The entire argument against knowing seems to be that

Pivotal and Amazon would not meet the rate and benefits that my current real company was paying, let alone the one that just poached me for a 15% raise. She's spot on.

I interviewed with Pivotal Labs this week. It went well and they wanted to move forward until I asked for my current compensation. They balked like I was asking for the moon. I coincidentally had an offer from another firm for a 15% raise,

Crew scheduling is complex. At the large airline I used to work for (not AA), they ran network solvers that took months to optimally resolve. Intermediate solutions were available, but the constraints of union contracts, labor laws, the loc

The problems of the new weapons systems sound bad, but I recall all the V-22 and F-22 naysayers. They're both expensive, but they're also the best in the world and flying everyday. It's hard to tell when a weapons system unde

The ISRO is pegging the price at Rs 400 Cr which is almost identical to a Falcon 9 at $62M at current exchange rates. Falcon 9 appears to win on price/payload, but ISRO is in the ballpark, impressive.
