I agree. If this is something like e.g. narcolepsy, you should see a doctor. There are a few low-risk prescriptions worth looking into. When I used to pull 18 hour days, I would also notice myself getting tired behind the wheel, but never f

Surely there is room for innovating outside of ICE and electric engines; what about land based rocket engines? I'm sure there's a lot to work on there ;)

Thank you for the advice! I'm not a musical person at all; I will try to remember to get to this whenever I get back to this project!

LXD is so weird. It feels like the halfway point between chroot and Docker proper. Can someone more familiar with containers explain what its usecase is meant to be? For reference my only interaction with it was for privilege escalation on

What are you trying to figure out? I will say IAM seems daunting because it's used by every other service; you don't have to know what every property or policy is in order to effectively secure your resources.

Yeah, I mean, obviously with the right precautions and best practices we could have avoided this. But this was a dev server, so it wasn't that serious if the entire thing got hosed. The only reason we recovered it using nc instead of j

I can one up you: Coworker was trying to remove node so we could install a new version, so he ran: rm -rf /usr/bin node -rf was due to muscle memory, and unfortunately he forgot the space. That was a fun one to clean up. We were a

How do you get manslaughter for that? You can't unintentionally bludgeon someone to death, can you? I will however say that there is opportunity for multiple interpretations with the little information provided; for example I think blu

What crimes are applicable to software engineers, then? I don't think there are any laws punishing you from writing bad code, nor are there laws addressing data theft or security misconfigurations. GDPR applies against companies and no

How are you solving the problem of scale? Wouldn't everyone else be using this approach if the need to e.g. maintain indexes was overruled by your table join technology? Or is the idea that you specify the type of dataset you want, and

It looks like they go over the cell network rather than the Internet, but they have lots of the same concepts. SMSCs act like routers, for example. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SMS#Interconnectivity_with_oth...

This is a ridiculous argument. Do you also blame Boeing for 9/11?

Definitely do not want to look into THAT.

Are we really going to assume that nation-state entities can't send agents to buy burner phones in other countries or just downright spoof the phone numbers entirely? I can go buy thousands of American phone numbers on Twilio right now

Ahh, this reminds me of my own attempt in Brainfuck! http://nexuist.github.io/brainsynth/ Been a year or two since I touched it, so I have no idea if it still works. Last I remember it was extremely slow; I think event

I disagree wholeheartedly that cockpit touchscreens (as a concept) are worse than physical knobs and switches. What are you doing in an FMC that requires you to split focus between operating the plane and operating the FMC? In what scenario

This makes a lot of assumptions, for example: 1) You are the only one working on this project and there are no other people who may have varying experience levels or development schedules 2) You are in charge of all the software running on

This is an unfair premise because it implies that breaking the speed limit is always unsafe. This is flat out not true; millions of drivers break the speed limit every day and have never or will never face the consequences. Out of various d

Actually, a bit of a gruesome idea I had was to look at NHTSA crash records and calculate the average probability of death at various speeds in my vehicle (Nissan Xterra). As you speed up and break the speed limit, a little % icon on the da

Do you have any evidence for this that isn't just conjecture, though? I think there are millions of parents that would love to get a car that obeys traffic laws for their children. The peace of mind would be immense, and that's on

I should add, this does not mean we shouldn't encourage beginners to explore all of these fields, but it should be done in training conditions (i.e. I don't care if this gets pwned) rather than for any serious application. That wa

This is really cool! Can I ask what you're using under the hood to power this? Redis, CouchDB or some in-house system? For filtering/search queries, is the idea to use the prefix system to group related items together, and then ru
