I feel like free peering is a thing of the past. Verizon/Comcast killed it by forcing people to pay for peering relations about a decade ago.

I have noticed after the holidays many of the people who I followed on twitter, just… didn’t come back, lol.

“Home-grown” my ass. So much of this plane was built on IP theft, it’s kind of a joke in the aerospace industry. This is the difference between western intelligence agencies vs Chinese intelligence agencies, who use IP they steal to help th

What SoC are you using out of curiosity? ARM cortex, riscv and espresif all seem like they have first class support. Unless you are talking about peripherals in which case, why would you expect the language to write/maintain low level

I'm still a fan of TCP/IP illustrated (book 1) [1] for understanding the fundamentals. The one from No Starch Press [2] is also a great book. Personally, I think if you understand the fundamentals, you will quickly realize things

I wish they would get their shit together and have software that isn't buggy / riddled with security issues. Their march to a cloud dependent offering is so disappointing.

Yes, but I would be interested in the gross income of IT vs other occupations and how that is impacting overall economy. For example, if you drop 2 IT jobs, but each one is 150k, but you create 4x 60k jobs, it looks like you added 2 jobs, b

Just speaking from the US side of things, there aren't any 20/30/40/80/120mm AA rounds being produced in mass quantity and it is more of a scaling issue. Systems like CIWS are also incredibly bulky, requiring a few

I'm not saying because they need to understand exactly what code gets generated, compiler optimizations can produce interesting results. What I am saying is the idea that an if statement from an assembly is a compare and a jump... know

High energy weapons and EW are the only realistic way to deal with it without slinging 100k or 2m dollar missiles around. One problem is these missiles still have debris, though less deadly than an armed drone, they can still be hazardous.

I’m actually of the opinion that C should be taught hand in hand or just after someone learns assembly. It’s admittedly a bit gatekeeper-y, but IMHO C should be thought of with same mindset as you would develop an ASM program, but with a bu

There was a paper about 10-15 years ago where they mentioned that they noticed decreased appetite and increased metabolism at higher altitudes. [1] kind of goes over this. I used to live in a high altitude town (~ 7000 ft) and definitely no

If it's just export controlled stuff(radar, dual use stuff), technically you can hire non US citizens, and IIRC it's actually discrimination if you only hire US citizens. But you need to get export licenses, which they might not g

I don't think it would push down wages for high end talent if you keep the requirements they pay prevailing wages. If anything, it would increase the wages for people. The point would be that we fill and address the talent problem long

I would love to see a revamp of visa system that when someone is sponsored by companies they are required to do a 1:1 match for scholarships on the salary of someone who they are sponsoring. Alternatively make the minimum $100k or max $250k

For me personally, I am not a designer. So I use a hard cover, square, xl moleskine notebook[1]. I like it because I can have things on a timeline, and look at historical revisions/sketches/notes. [1] - https://www.mole

by genmud 3y ago
Yea, but that type of consulting is typically billed as professional services(or similar), not advisory work. If product companies are smart, they might put this role under costs to acquire customer vs services and then have it as a fee for

I live in a place where it didn't really take off like some regions. There are a few with some equipment, but whenever I really inquired it was kind of "we have it, but nobody can use it themselves". I totally understand thou

Yep, that's what the invoice says... was $90 since like 2014 or 2015 when I bought it.

Very cool to see government sponsored open source. IMHO investing in open source is one of the most strategic things that the US government can do over the upcoming decades. Think about how many trillions of dollars in value has been built

I mentioned in another comment I must have been mistaken, I had the all products pack. I went from $89/year in 2019 to $149/year in 2022 which was a 67% price hike.

by genmud 3y ago
I had the all products pack, so I guess it wasn't just ultimate. Between 2019 and 2022 it went from $89 to $149 + tax, so 160/year. I did not receive a 67% increase in value during that time. I used to have the same view about ide

I finally cancelled my subscription for their ultimate package as it just kept going up and up in price. They used to be really good for having 3 year discounts, and paying $80 or $100 for a fairly good ide wasn't the end of the world,

You must be new to politics, lol. I am not sure if modern politicians even pretend to represent their constituents these days. Special interests first, party second, constituents only during an election, but only if you have a close race.

Hint: they haven't put controls in place, and it will happen again. Unifi is one of the companies with awesome potential but they just seem to whiff it constantly on security and software.

I know your being sarcastic, but I genuinely wonder if the net benefits actually outweighs the problems.

Funny enough, we paid dell to support a number of IBM laptops at one place. Was kind of funny.

First off, that is a really faulty assumption. Enterprise laptops make almost nothing for most laptop manufacturers. When I bought Dell laptops at a F500, they were selling us laptops at cost and only making money on support / software
