I hope to god WFH doesn't become the new hotness. A big part of going into an office is the mental context switch for me. I have work time & place, and I have not work time. WFH has made it really hard to keep the boundaries separa

Oh agree 100%. Theory doesn't help much if you can't apply it.

It is the Science of Computing. Memory Management is a great example of this. You learn the theory behind memory management, physical vs virtual memory, pages, swapping, with the goal of being able to understand how modern computing handles

At RIT, this statement holds true: "You don't learn how to write software in CS, you just learn it by proxy." The CS course is focused on concepts, involving writing assembly programs to understand how stuff works. And yeah,

Because actual Computer Science is not writing a VBA script, or putting together your own PC. There is some common misconception that Computer Science = Being good with computers. At RIT, the Introduction to CS cources (CSCI 140 & 141)

You're living in a place that you couldn't afford on your own or won't buy for economic reasons (wanting to move, temporary job). That's value.

I have some "friends" who will only vote trump, because the dems are talking about increasing restrictions around guns. Some people just have one issue they care about above all else, even if that is harming them

Ok? Doesn't make it right. And your example is incorrect. You can buy or lease a car just as you can with a house/apartment.

Agree. There are stories of people kinking out tenants to let on Airbnb. If these people get fucked by the loss in income, that'll be a simple on my face. Airbnb as a whole, is a good idea- but some people are doing horrible things to

I moved from Robinhood to Schwab, and didn't know about this fee on Robinhood's side. So I ask Schwab support and they not only told me about it, they gave me an additional $75. YMMV but I think most brokerages would be happy to h

You think part of the problem with the fearmongering around this virus is stuff like this? While a cool use of data visualization tools, it doesn't serve much purpose other then "look how worried you should be at this thing that y

Working from home is the worst. My team is already making plans to work together off site at a bar/cafe/etc until we get back into the office.

I love simple and ingenious stuff like this. Low cost, simple, and effective low tech way to monitor a shipment.

This is true to some extent. I'm building out the infrastructure for my company, and there is a lot of effort on my part required to automate stuff. Something like kafka requires figuring out the configuration you want, putting that in

Curious that they use LSN tracking vs making the replication synchronous. I would be curious to see the performance numbers and the reasoning behind the choice.

Kinda. The manufacturing process will always produce defects in these chips. A run can produce 100 chips (let's say)- 10 of those are perfect. 100% functional, and are sold as the highest quality chip. the next 20 are 99.99% functional

In the 50s(?) the US did that with DSTing cities. Don't think it did much.

You're right, it doesn't matter. What matters is that stuff that can be viewed as controversial or actively discriminates against someone/group of people can be found under their name. Look that story a few years ago where a

The workplace extends into personal life now. People tweet shit publicly, and they publicly associate themselves with a company via Linkedin. So if this person says the wrong thing, people will harass them and the company they work for. It&

Even better in some cases. PHP is slamming raw c function calls for some stuff, which makes some operations as fast as compiled binaries.

Companies like this are Evil. Plain and simple. If your business model involves distributing/processing personal information you had no consent to take and sharing it with 3rd parties, then that's evil.

The per capita is low in China, but that doesn't make the different layers of government unable to provide stuff like that.

No. That's the government's job. China is not some impoverished country.

Done. Let's see how it works out.
