One of the biggest issues we have to solve is the indexing and verification of knowledge. This is where I hope AI and ML will go, but being able to say whether the data is unique or derived from another source and being able to catalog it i

Because wealthier people have more complicated returns and are much more likely to litigate, resulting in more time commitment. For high net wealth audits, you could have potentially dozens of people working on it for years so there is a p

It actually has been in a propaganda war for the last 10+ years, but most of the leadership has been asleep at the wheel. Coupled with the fact there are laws against what communications from the US government are considered propaganda (thu

My first thought is it reminds me of the infinite monkey theorem but with no code apps. My second thought is... why? I thought the whole point of no code platforms is so you don't have to hire experts.

There are ways to detect proximity to infrastructure and proxies... it's a lot easier/cheaper to just have boxes with like 50 LTE modems and pay someone some money to switch out sims once a day/week/whenever. In other co

My few experiences with RH support/engineering have been universally bad. Each time they basically said, well, that won't get fixed since the fix for that behavior wasn't patched until a later feature release. Support means f

You should talk to some of your local newspapers/culture magazines about your experience as well, they love these types of stories and you can get free exposure for it.

Their pricing has become bonkers over the last few years. Most people in traditional businesses need o365 for word/excel/powerpoint, and you effectively get email for free, so for many companies its a no brainer.

Hmm, well, if those are accurate numbers than the us spends more than the next 9 countries combined. Still, the us spends more than 2.5x per year than China.

Maybe, their ambitions are definitely that they stand toe to toe with the US. However, the fact they are just now starting to issue body armor to their soldiers and have not had any real combat experience in the modern age might be difficul

I had 1Password gobble my GitHub account credentials, which is fucking terrifying since most of my 2fa backup codes get stored in 1Password. I really need to back everything up offline more frequently.

When I do this I always preface it with, "hey here is an example of what you could send... feel free to copy-pasta or ask in whatever way you want". That way it isn't as icky feeling.

You can get CM4s with eMMC memory now, but if I was doing a CM4, might as well just use an nvme ssd.

I think you are overestimating how much influence beancounters and marketing people have on the design. I live in the desert as well and in the last 15 years between me, my wife and my parents have only replaced a single battery. We buy a n

This actually hits so close to home. I really like the concept of rust, but every time I sit down to write it, the syntax and the grammar feel... off and unnatural. It really reminds me of how jarring it would be to have to write a book i

AOSP with the more modern kernels and less vendor garbage in giant forks will help with that. Unix was king in the 80s, maybe early 90s for anyone doing terminals, banks, government and universities were all ok the big iron train. But when

Probably 70 or 80% of cloud workloads are Linux, and like 60% of embedded devices, of which there are billions. And of those embedded/mobile devices, the rest will either be running iOS, vxworks, freertos or zephyr. I think the joke ha
