Not to mention, where are all the other Bracewell probes from all the other interstellar civilizations? If there's life shouldn't the local area be teeming with them, since they're cheap and easy for any culture that can do s

I agree; I "got into" Alex Jones because it was genuinely funny to see this narrative of a reality that exists only in video games and conspiracy fiction. It was so nakedly transparent as a kind of LARP and entertainment to front

At least with small arms, often the "missing" model numbers are either 1)one-off, special purpose purchases for a single service, or 2)something uninteresting. For example, at least 1 issued "pistol" prior to the M9 was

I'm sure it's an interesting technical challenge with huge amounts of complex, nuanced debate involved, and it could have a huge impact on health care. That said, my wife is an oncology nurse, and I will bet everything that no mac

I had a lot of the same opinions, and then I actually got a job at a low-code platform vendor. The biggest thing I learned, the secret truth, is that "low-code" is intended to be a force multiplier for "real programmers"

It's always funny to me to see alternatives to YouTube. The creators I like are on YouTube and rarely anywhere else. So while if I wanted to start vlogging, I might choose Vimeo, I'm tied into going to YT to see the content I want

you're all completely correct: Apple is doomed. Since no one plays any games on iOS (where Metal is the only real option), forcing Metal adoption on MacOS is doomed from the start. iOS devices will be left in their moribund state, used

has anyone actually made a solid case that Apple's current generation of silicon is "drastically inferior"? Didn't Windows (on desktop) ignore OpenGL in favor of DirectX for years to great success, because it was deeply

The "JavaScript for Automation" stuff is extremely incomplete, and to make matters worse, whatever dingus in XCode generates the documentation only knows about AppleScript, so sometimes you get object methods called properties and

I got the same test for an SRE gig just a couple years ago. Amazon fizzbuzz'd me on the first coding test before I even went on-site. I know both have very stellar hiring reputations and employ a ton of smart people but from my "m

Urchin's original mode of operation was as a cron job that scanned your correctly-formatted Apache access_log (via LogFormat stanza) and dumped them into a DB. So there's issues of scale that had to be dealt with, and they decided

Real talk? There is nothing wrong with being in IT. Imagine if someone said "I would be concerned I'd be seen as a carpenter and not a woodworking artisan". You're a carpenter. You nail boards together to serve the busin

I recently bombed an interview with a graph theory question. I hadn't done any real from-scratch implementations of that stuff, but I do know enough to discuss it and pseudocode it. They were disappointed, they wanted to see runnable

There used to be a "Winer number", which was the number of times Winer had gone apeshit on you, typically in response to an innocuous comment.

What I assume he means is syntax-aware indentation, not general auto-complete. In curly-brace languages, for example, it makes me mental in BBEdit that I have to outdent at the end of a function to make the closing curly line up.
