It's replicating the things that the early internet based its success on: open protocols and decentralized authority. Nobody can tell you: "no, you can't build that". It's the opposite of closed platforms, such as t

They typically researched you somehow, they know the company you're at, and likely previous ones. They tend to approach you as a conversation about what you want to do, and what the company needs and try to find common ground that&#x27

Well, biological neurons are much more complex than CS neurons ( https://www.quantamagazine.org/how-computationally-complex-i... ). Also, you're working under the assumption that they are equivalent between mammals which

Past a certain level of seniority (Principal Engineer and above), you get recruited by headhunter types. They take a lot more time and effort to figure out who you are before even reaching out. My guess is that these are the hardest ones to

Programming is a team sport. It's not about the individual, but about what the team can output. Competitiveness can be a liability. Most projects have parts that require some cleverness, but most of it is grunt work. You may not be the

I just don't visualize it much. I do visualize dataflow, and tend to encapsulate responsibility boundaries, so as to be able to assert properties of a bunch of code and not have to think about the internals. But other than big block an

The scale of compute changed: - Mobile (iOS and Android) - "The cloud": the systems became multi-computer networks. (Aurora, Mesos, Kubernetes, etc.) - Web Browser as a platform (and associated technologies, such as Node) The scal

Have another one and watch yourself relax. Don't fret. Kids are very variable, and most differences taper off as they grow older. You two have too much time to micro-manage your child, have one or two more and the problem sorts itself

Mikrotik is nice too, if you need a bit more, I would check it out. I have been using one at home for a few years. Fantastic software and hardware but more on the advanced side.

Any router (or routerboard) that supports Mikrotik: https://mikrotik.com/ You don't have to buy from them the hardware. I used to use OpenWRT (which is also a nice second option), but the robustness and flexibility of

Try a full recovery and check it works. They lost most of my files.

I was unable to recover backed up files on backblaze. It just doesn’t work. They don’t seem to do any periodic integrity checks on the cold data. I lost most of my files, they were able to recover maybe 20% of the data. Use anything else, b

Technical leaders do exist and mentoring is a huge part of it, you need to figure out a way to be a multiplier, without being a manager. If you want more money, you need to have more impact, but there are so many hours in a day, so you need

I always felt, generationally, that I'm in a weird spot, somewhere between a Millennial and a Gen Xer. I caught the end of Gen X, so I get some of the gripe, but I've always been a technology native, so in that regard I'm clo

I think they dug their own graves. Firefox is extremely pedantic and opinionated browser. It became popular due to extensions, that is, it attracted power users. Then the other guys pretty much reached feature parity while Firefox was busy

In any case, even if it's true, it's a detrimental clarity. The same way that nihilism doesn't really help you. Yeah, we all are going to die and everything is pointless on the grand scheme of things, who cares? Enjoy the rid

Talk to them. Apple is a huge company, but they really care about user experience (developers or otherwise), even if sometimes they fail at it. It's a staple of large corporations struggling scale processes and at the same time properl

Yeah, but for close friends and family only. If I'm being honest, it was mostly tolerated rather than encouraged. Once everyone had phones, you called before dropping. Now everyone has some form of async communication, so you use that

We used to ship twice a week, but customers don't like that much change. They prefer predictable schedules and time to digest change. We switched to a quarterly release schedule and we ended up getting much happier customers. We do bui

Slightly off topic, but I barely use my phone as a phone. I think it's dumb to call them phones, it an artifact of their origin. I could just as well not have any phone functionality if it has internet. At this point I even don't

He skipped Catalina, that's a risky move. Updates have a higher chance of success if applied in the order they were tested by the QA teams of the developer.

Argentinians do this a lot. We don't have a name for it other than "juntada" (lit. gathering). Maybe is the Italian cultural influence. We just get together and chat, in parks, cafes, houses, wherever. We even incorporate str

I always toyed with the idea of getting a System76 laptop, but at the time I was shopping, the price was close to a MacBook Pro at similar specs, with worse display and uglier. On the upside, the memory/CPU specs were really nice.

I tried, Ubuntu, SUSE, Red Hat and Mint (and Slackware, but a long time ago) if memory serves right. There's always something wrong. The feeling I got, is that I was always tinkering with something rather than getting the job done. Win

I always had trouble with Linux. I mean, it always kind of works, but never quite right. Graphic cards are difficult, sound is a pain in the ass to get working (Pulse + ALSA omfg! It's a clusterfuck). Another thing that has never been
