Some would miss another and say "ain't" :)

"Brought" is the past tense tense of "bring", not "buy". I think you're missing the 'r' when you read that.

It has been quite popular in my circles, but then I have a disproportionate concentration of British-empire immigrants and IT folks in my circles, so... Maybe?

That said, it still seems helpful to know immediately as you're getting the space what the timeframe is for leaving. If the're going to start clearing the street in an hour, I'll probably park elsewhere right off the bat and

The side of the street is hardly general public-use. In most places it's explicitly for parking. And many (certainly almost all where I am, albeit not in a major city) parking lots don't enforce time limits or ensure you're t

The nostalgia I feel for QBasic as my first programming experience as a kid is followed very closely by my nostalgia for Turbo C++ 3.0.

Would a nuke not have also led to wars like that?

I too recall seeing hysterical news cycles around that time. The reactions to the anthrax scares as mentioned: tons of people at Home Depot buying plastic sheeting and duct tape, etc. And the day of 9/11, I remember multiple people liv

How do you figure that? Are you comparing long-term effects and military fall-out from 9/11 but only the immediate death toll of a nuke?

It would even include any answers to that question.

I don't know what the math looks like here, but there is waste heat in this, right? We could lower CO2, but "unlimited cheap energy" at the scale required to make a dent in climate change surely gives off a pretty phenomenal

Capacity has been flat for the last decade and California has had a reputation for an unreliable power grid as long as I've followed US news. You're dreaming, mate.

Curious where the candidates are being sourced from - my hunch is that whatever source they're coming from is suddenly being exploited by such people for some reason. I've seen a general increase over the last 1-2 years (so, post-

Also from my recent experience on RCCL, it was not working all day. I would attempt to refresh a messaging app periodically during the day and have it fail half the time.

You know there's a huge difference between training the original model and transfer learning to apply it to a new use case, right? Saying people are years behind if they think there work is only worth something with 8 A100 pods is pret

Isn't a key selling point of the latest, hottest model that's on the front page of Hacker News multiple times right now, the fact that it fits on consumer-grade GPUs? Surely some of the interesting ideas it's spawning right n

Is there much actual whiteboarding going on in tech interviews right now? It's been years since I did anything but remote coding interviews (where you have a fairly realistic editor and REPL environment) and remote behavioral interview

This is more or less what we do on my current team. We write out a doc explaining all the common solutions, and what a good candidate should consider and be able to answer, and have a rubric, and we ensure people don't judge candidates

You're basically describing HackerRank, and I've worked with some pretty terrible engineers who were very proud of their HackerRank credentials. Write such a test. Give it to all the engineers whose work you know well, and see if

Independent of Hollywood, some American cars just might do that. Maybe not in such an impressive manner, but I've been through so many Dodge transmissions and Ford's reputation here is even worse.

Same, but I certainly can't relate to all the failures...

It's worth noting that NIST already announced that the likely winner of the contest was CRYSTALS-Kyber and Crystals-DILITHIUM: https://www.feistyduck.com/bulletproof-tls-newsletter/issue_... . It sounds like it&#x2

I've never seen Slack, Spotify, or a DE run in containers, so you must be going very much out of your way for that to be the case. And if you're going that far, why do you care about the distro in the first place?

Again, system vs. apps, though. My production servers don't have Slack, Spotify, GUIs, etc.

While I get your point, is there someone better to trust? Not every cryptographer works for the NSA, and I can't think of a way for a protocol to be looked at by as many cryptographers for flaws as the one chosen by NIST to be a standa

I believe you're just describing putting something in the public domain and waiving all copyright (CC talks about this too: https://creativecommons.org/share-your-work/public-domain/pd... ). But be cautious: y

Pretty sure by saying this about a set of numbers that exist and that are distinct from the Real set, you're actually making a point opposite from the one you think you are making.

I wouldn't say your coworkers should be Friends with a capital F, but a certain level of friendship is very helpful. Like it or not, your coworkers are humans and they have emotions. A little socialization helps see people as humans an

Nevertheless, that's a pretty common term when the compute portion of the application is a single tier , but that doesn't mean that the tier can't scale over many stateless compute nodes.
