I agree. Many organizations want to have their cake and eat it too. They are basically ad-driven and looking for eyeballs. "If it bleeds it leads" I don't know that I ever really have much faith in the whole "church and

Fun fact: -v typically stands for verbose except when using any "grep-like" utilities such as pgrep, pkill, etc. [edit] forgot to mention that for grep-like utilities -v negates the match. This led to an unfortunate incident in wh

My take: we need to stop incentivizing "innovation" where everything needs to be rewritten every couple months just so someone can "disrupt" something. You know what it really is? It's a bunch of product people, all

Maybe universities. My mechanical engineering program taught fortran and had beowulf clusters running what was (presumably) fortran.

I do think there's some truth to the idea that our failures in mental health care have some pretty high costs on our society in other places. If we did a better job with mental health/drug addiction, maybe there would be a few les

> They defend against Facebook controlling the internet by offering an open source browser (Chrome/ium). Imo chrome and android are about being able to ensure ads are delivered.

I really hate the entire culture around Gofundme. I feel like a number of people use it in a way I find horrifying. My grandfather passed away a few years ago and my much younger relative in college in Hawaii decided to make a gofundme page

Dropped out of college. I had an intro programming class once. In terms of education, I'd probably say my highest achievements are just knocking out all the undergrad math for engineering and taking a few grad level classes. I really l

I believe chrome currently uses BoringSSL not NSS, but still has some facilities for writing the same keylogfile.

I was directly recruited, for 2 remote jobs at once. The first one was because I hung out in an IRC channel for an open source project. The CTO of that company just offered me a job. At the same time a recruiter from a fortune 500 just dire

Also a huge fan. When I got my first full time engineering job at $50k I thought that was amazing. It literally allowed me to leapfrog my entire family and secured what I thought of as a middle class existence. Then I got a salary adjustmen

I agree that this wouldn't be news if he weren't so visibly publicly unhinged. But his erratic behavior sells papers.

Systemd uses bpf, it can be used for accounting of I/O.

I like the fact that there's a little competition. Personally, I tried btrfs as a root filesystem for a couple years. It definitely had weird gotchas like running out of inode space pretty frequently when making use of snapshots. A few

If we were to use a car analogy: go has been in production for the last few years and there's a ton on the road, but the average car on the road wasn't built in the last few years.

DNS was built in the 80s, there are still buildings from the 80s that are just fine. We're just really really bad at software engineering as a practice.

When I wasn't working remote, informally the ceiling seemed to me to be around $120k. That was a few years ago and these days I would have guessed more around $140k. Obviously I didn't have all the data points so good to see peopl

Just by people I know on twitter, there's alot of great women from accounting and project management that have done bootcamps and made the switch recently.

FWIW I live in Utah, work remote, and am self taught (dropout from engineering program) and my base is higher than that. It's in the 240s. I'm the first one to tell someone to go to school instead. It's not actually the funda
