The notion of not having certain demographics in lucrative industries doesn't always hold true though. Women dominate the fields of pharmacy, dentistry, nursing, and education. All fairly desirable jobs. Some paying better than softwar

I'm not ruling anything out. In fact it's been shown in studies that even at a few years old males prefer to play with traditionally masculine toys and girls the opposite. Does that extend to differences in career choice? Is it na

Any other perspectives on this? Racial and gender diversity is clearly lacking in tech and I have a feeling that's even more concentrated at the "top" employers. Not sure if we can do much about it though. Anyone that's

TLDR: Not meeting profitability targets. Starting to run out of money. Selling ads isn't making enough. Fired a bunch of people. VC's want us to get back to hyper growth, whatever that means. Hoping for the best.

:'( I turned down a job at pivotal years ago because I thought it was just the usual consulting sweatshop with a prettier face.

I've had the opposite experience. Not universal, but I find most startups I've interviewed with extremely arrogant. The nicest workplaces for me have been the old and steady companies with boring software. Things I see a lot in st

They won't do this because people will stop buying their overpriced server chips. Desktop is hamstrung to their desires to keep server chips better, even if it means making desktop ones worse. They tried getting rid of ECC memory suppo

It might be simpler than even that. Most cables are black because black ones are more durable for many reasons(UV resist and more choice of composition/processing) Apple likes their bright colors too much to do that :)

Hahaha I feel for your downvotes but cheers for saying something that probably needs to be said. PHP is the COBOL of web application development. It's built for an era of websites that's no longer relevant. As with perl, unless yo

Does anyone else think the timing is kinda funny? Today, at least in the US, is probably the slowest news day of the year. Great time to unload anything unfavorable :)

The US government also historically goes to great lengths to protect its citizens abroad. For the most part, a US citizen sucked into a civil war or other terrible situation can show up at the embassy and everything will be okay. Might not

The US govt doesn't take kindly to anyone hiding money to avoid taxes, whether that's setting up a chain of shell companies in the Caribbean or hiding money in the matress. I disagree with your premise only because any kind of fin

Yup that's it. Me and other kernel devs have been toying with the idea for years, but google actually went out and did it, and documented it. They proved it was possible. It's something that absolutely should be picked up and run

I believe they're right about neurodiversity overall but that doesn't make a case for preventing gene editing so these people can better function in our society. If you think about it, surely out of the counless gene variations po

Both ways of connecting the dots leads to the same conclusion. Crime has been increasing in large, poor cities. These people by vast margin are not legal gun owners, so I think it's a bit premature to connect gun sales to rising crime

I've been reading a lot into these recent DDoS attacks and countermeasures. Even though syn cookies are a hack they fix the biggest exploitable resource hole in TCP. It's now possible to initialize TCP using no stored state info b

Had the OSI network model won out eons ago we would have enough separation between layers to use custom protocols. For better or worse, that battle was long decided by TCP/IP and the two have been tightly intertwined ever since. It&#x2

Thanks, I might not be right about any of it but saying bad things about apple and google, or both at the same time :) tends to result in downvotes. As in most things there's probably some truth on all sides.

This is a good 1000 foot overview but they leave off some specifics that could burn you bad. Blog content: they say writing anything is better than nothing and there's some truth to this, but compelling content is far more important. O

Trump got caught on a hot mic. It's just plain stupid to say dumb things in front of a microphone. The DNC emails leaks were some secret and top secret info, completely different ball game. The Russians were implicated well before Hil

The web closing off is very bad for Google but I'm rooting for them to try stem the trend since it's also bad for users. Putting walled gardens around large portions of the net will inevitably result in endless mergers and an even

The first part of your comment doesn't make sense. What does diplomatic saber rattling have to do with arresting people? Besides, a government has a duty to give it's citizens a fair trial. It has no duty to protect a foreign gov

They disliked flash for different reasons. Google for search and apple because flash games were too powerful, jobs wanted those games turned into iPhone apps. The offical reasons were speed and security, which was obviously a farce since al

You can configure retries in TCP. There's a ton of differences in how they're implemented underneath, merging them might be possible but you would probably end up with something that was worse for streams than TCP and worse for da

It's just semi pointless to try to use anything but UDP and TCP on the www. If you need to encapsulate the MTU path discovery n stuff doesn't work and you're better off just using existing protocols that build on UDP. Look at

My pet theory is that Google actually developed chrome as a web crawler and that consumer release was to ensure that Google would always be able to crawl pages (since sites would always want to work properly with chrome) It also explains wh
