It actually was not meant to be an attack, although perhaps you are right that I am projecting my own insecurities in some way. If you care to say more about why you saw my message that way, you might help me with your feedback. My honest m

I'm sort of mad about Aereo too. My view is the same as yours. It's unfortunate that it got shut down. My point in the GP comment was more that if the entire justification for your technical architecture is to make an end run arou

I don't agree that Filecoin does anything to enable piracy. If your goal is to pirate software and movies, your needs were already (and still are) adequately met with BitTorrent and there's no need for a blockchain token. Tokens w

This is engineer logic. This kind of thing would never fly in court. If you want an example, go back and look at what happened to Aereo back in 2014. They came up with a clever hack to work around broadcast TV copyright. It went to the U.S.

IPFS does not in any way involve a blockchain. There's a separate "layer on top of IPFS" called Filecoin that does involve a blockchain. (From a technical point of view, it's not really a layer on top, more of a re-imple

A funny Massachusetts crazy laws story. When Apple Computer IPO'ed in the early 1980s, Massachusetts residents were not allowed to own the stock. Like it was actually illegal for them to buy this stock. The reason was that Massachusett

They're just telling you how you're coming across in these comments. You sound a tad resentful and like someone who maybe has a bit of chip on his shoulder with respect to more junior Java engineers. If that's how you want to

It sounds like you've been out of work for a year and you've fallen into a state of anger and despair. It's understandable and you're hardly the first person that has happened to, but I'd really encourage you to ret

Setting up an LLC to own your home costs a few hundred bucks. You don't need any cash beyond filing fees and legal fees (if you use a lawyer). The bank will not care. Their loan agreement gives them the right to foreclose if the loan

I just don't want to have two computers, one for FPGA development and one for everything else. It would make my life easier to put everyone on one machine. I appreciate all the comments here and think the performance hit could be too m

For tech (and finance) there are a great many people who make an extreme comp demand and the company just shrugs and says "ok, we'll pay it." Before you put your fate in the hands of some union boss, you should consider tryin

Here is what I have observed. The use of various procedures (like asking someone to immediately leave the office) is actually mainly driven by managers' and HRs' fear and/or inexperience with layoffs. Basically, these people

This is actually quite common. I've seen a variety of situations where a person was fired or laid off, but allowed to stay on for some time - usually a week or two, although the most extreme one I personally saw was a guy who stayed fo

"Senior" really just means "this person is not straight out of college." It doesn't actually mean senior in the same way that Intel and AMD's "2nm process" technology does not actually correspond to a

I want to do hardware development in an x86_64 Linux VM on a Mac. I work with closed source vendor tools that are only available as precompiled x86 binaries (it's FPGA development, everything is closed source). Am I going to run into p

Yeah, but parent is saying if you zoom out. We don't know what will come next; it could be dramatically different. Nobody saw industrialization and its attendant social order coming.

How is that possible? The goal of a mall is to attract shoppers and sell stuff to them. Why would they turn away a shopper due to age? Especially these days, with malls dying all over the place, it seems quite peculiar that they would turn

Where does ASML (and the industry) go after EUV? They are currently at 10E-9 m wavelengths, right up against the x-ray spectrum, and you can't focus that kind of light with glass optics.

That's fair. My comment is not well-informed with regard to whatever has happened in the last 10 years. The impression I formed back in the late-2000s and early 2010s when I was doing this type of development was that there was very l

I think the reason you're finding it to be so stable is because nothing in that kernel has changed since Windows XP.

I was developing file system drivers on Windows in the era when this article was written. I've never seen such a convoluted mess of recursive locks. Concurrent trees with fine-grained locks always have the potential to get messy, but t

If you want to posit an explanation for this phenomenon, you have to be able to explain two things: what changed abruptly in the early/mid 2010s?, and why did it uniquely affect teen girls? Many of the reactions I've seen over the

I don't think Haidt has a political agenda. I've been following his work on this since he published his book on it a decade ago. He has a whole theory about why teen mental health went off a cliff in the last decade, and the theor

It could be a trader who was already long and looking to exit the position. Figured this was a good way to goose returns. Who knows?
