Speaking only for myself, the boring parts of personal/20% work often pay huge dividends when I go back to non-personal work.

And should expect more novel NTP and time issues before it.

As someone who's much better off as a person having a B.A. in Computer Science in five years than their intended B.S./B.F.A. in four, I think the both components are vital. The undergraduate major I ended up with has definitely op

Sensible heels can also work, as can boots. If you're interviewing for a position that will involve working on physical infrastructure, make sure your interview shoes let you walk comfortably through a (very, very cold) server room.

No, I couldn't do so two days ago, unfortunately. Sorry for any confusion.

In my mind, no, it is not. But it's been a long time since I've contributed code to a *BSD.

I've only scanned this on my phone, not really dug in to the math, but this strikes me as significantly more serious than the current comments here suggest. Low power tracking is a significant part of the motivation behind mesh network

Sorry for the rude question here, but is this speculation on your part or based on stuff said by folks at Mozilla (the corp, not just contributors/clients)? Some clearer sources would be helpful this early in the morning.

Agreed. Cryptographic signing of extensions in this context doesn't seem to me to be significantly different from the signing done by your other package management systems. One of my professors said "the browser is the new OS&quot

HN has a very particular parser because a lot of us have found we'll copy paste too much too fast if we don't have a weird parser with separate noprocrast settings from our normal work.

That's great for some products. Others require a big initial rollout to justify the capital expenditures involved with development.

I think that confusing "duct tape", "gaffer tape", and "crazy glue" is a problem in any kind of shop. Maintainable glue code is more like painter's tape or gaffer tape than it is rubber cement, imo.

This is a great thing to grumble about. It's also a great thing to only fix enough to hit your performance targets. But you probably already know that :)

This is a great article, but the comments make me feel like I'm twice as old as I actually am. I think that maybe if we called these programmers "gaffer tape programmers", some of the sense might be clearer to programmers who

Sorry to poke this thread so far later, but I was actually thinking more of other users of your VMs if you're doing this in the cloud :)

To be honest, I'm not quite sure what I meant 18 hours later, but I think it was a joke about folks who know what my DCI number is.

I am cool with the content of your messages in this thread, but you should be aware that many of us come from linguistic backgrounds with more complicated nomnitive reference sets than (he || she).

I can't help you on the religious origins of this, but the concept got introduced to me by a game by this dude named Richard Garfield in the early 90s. If I recall correctly, the term that that dude and a bunch of other WotC folks used

Not much to add here myself other than something for the folks who are less steeped in networking and security concerns: you should not try to audit this stuff yourself. Parent to this post can help you find a good auditor for your langua
