The only real advice here is: - Exercise only in the morning - Have lunch at the same time every day and eat nothing after 19:00 - Banish caffeine after 15:00 everything else is "stop being a night owl".

This is nutty. I believe abovethelaw that this is legal, I just don't understand how.

The President can ask the DOJ to drop things, but they don't "have to" listen.

No, but the defense can and probably will subpoena these things. As a prosecutor you’d be dumb not to look at evidence you guess will come out at trial anyways.

I lived in Seattle for 7 years and got to know some Boeing project managers. The stories they told are very similar to this one. Apparently the life of a Boeing PM or Engineer is endless meetings, I asked one of my friends why this was the

Having a QA team, who are full fledged software engineers, who can provide formal correctness tests is the ideal situation. They’re developing a whole other project in isolation from yours and the only thing that needs to be agreed upon is

I am a "back-end" engineer that could be said to "look down" on front-end development, but the truth is more nuanced than that. I actually think really great front-end development, when necessary, is hard to do and the f

Is it the responsibility of any project/startup to find out who the LPs are for a VC fund? Sometimes this information is not only inaccessible, it would be illegal for you to know. Especially in a case where - wait for it - a sovereign

I work at a non-profit coworking space that strives to put community first. It is a registered art gallery and has programs for helping women and minorities get their ideas off the ground. The community has been great and the noise isn’t an

Your examples are decent. I think for Senior Engineers it is hard to target a specific set of advice, a blog is a good format for short and general advice. Hopefully, as a Senior Engineer your lessons are more nuanced and short, general adv

I agree with you. They called themselves Romans until the very end, and the claim isn’t dubious as all their institutions and wealth were from an unbroken Roman origin (well as unbroken as anything in pre-324 Roman history itself).

As I get older in this industry performance obsession has gone from making me sad (how can I possibly compete) to making me laugh. We work in a field where it is our literal chosen profession to leverage the most powerful machines human bei

Instead of targeting a specific company why not prohibit the use case you don’t like? Otherwise I have to agree with others that this seems retributive and childish.

I love to hate on MBA types just as much as the next engineer, but this article contains a distracting logical fallacy right away: That CEO pay increased because of a trend in aligning incentives (the analysis of the CEOs performance says n

I didn’t get that read from the OP. Gambling is a tax on ignorance. There are lots of ways to have fun, even thrill seeking fun, that don’t have such horrible downsides.

Google is the only (major) cloud provider to suffer global service outages (AWS and Azure have only ever had region-wide outages). They have done so more than once, and they have no notable blog posts that ever explain how they will mitigat

IMHO, it’s also some of the least interesting dev work you can do. A few people might get lucky and work on physics engines, but for everyone else it is basically a gigantic UI project with a ton of control flow and throwaway code.

What does it mean to be overpaid? There are certainly professions that provide more overall value to the world than software engineering and yet make less money. So in a sense you could say every software engineer is overpaid. Otherwise wha

I understand where this guy is coming from, but his instinct to say that tougher career paths should elicit more compensation is misguided. Certainly there is some correlation, but he could have added social workers and teachers to his list

Also, their claim that HTTPS doesn’t hide the hosts that you are visiting is about to not be true. Encrypted SNI is now part of the TLS 1.3 RFC, so HTTPS will actually hide one’s internet browsing habits quite well. The only holes in privac

You’re getting a sampling bias in your data, because you’re taking it from this community, which is (duh) focused on getting rich with risky ventures. There are definitely those of us here who are in it for the technology and are passionate

Having child pornography in your pocession is a crime. If MSFT has indexed without showing any good faith effort to avoid indexing then the DOJ can and should prosecute them for the felony that it is.

I have a pair of leather Vasque boots with Vibram soles that are still going strong after years. The soles show almost no sign of wear (they make direct contact with pavement very infrequently).
