I have a 2007 Saab and even the dealership can't sort out the ghosts in the electronic wizardry. Not at any remotely reasonable cost. It's basically deal with it or spend thousands of dollars replacing at least the main computer,

I run a high traffic web service in the cloud. Well over a billion requests served per month from the origin. We run our CPU's around ~60%. We've seen maybe a 2% hit from spectre & meltdown mitigations. It's hard to even

Did Intel promise you a CPU that would be impervious to all potential security vulnerabilities, currently known and unknown in perpetuity?

It would be fair to say that if AMD had the features but implemented in a way that wasn't vulnerable. That, however, is not the case. AMD simply lacks the features.

At our place we reserve coding tests for applicants on the more junior end of the spectrum. I've always found conversational interviews sufficient for vetting mid to senior level developers. We do pay a good rate for the time we instru

6 months seems too short, but in 5 years the only ones I haven't done are plan an invasion (how many people out of billions have?), butcher a hog specifically (fish though), design a whole building (designed and built a.. room.. for pu

They say they spend $12,700/month on Fastly. I guess I don't know offhand the difference between Fastly and Imgix (which they also say is their CDN), but the levels of bandwidth they're talking about are not going to be free

Would you consider this viable in a monolith, though? The primary application I work on has hundreds of classes that get dependencies injected through DI. Many can be and are singletons, but many - including some very commonly used ones - c

It's a bit of a stretch, but yeah there's a pretty vast difference between AWS or Azure and DigitalOcean.

> you simply rename That sounds like an awful idea that will result in people adding version information to the name, not to mention destroying discoverability.

Google doesn't have any burden of proof here. You're responsible for your api keys and any use that occurs with them.

Preventing ASICs doesn't prevent those with more monetary resources from consolidating in the hardware space. The ASIC-resistant coins aren't that much more profitable to mine for a home miner, and if they were you'd just get

Those sound like abnormally severe reactions, though in some locations life in jail or prison is much more severe - but in most of the U.S. it's not the violent, drug fueled rape-fest popular media might have you believe. I spent 7 yea

Probably no surprise to most people at least moderately familiar with the Bitcoin trading world. I would've named 8 of those off the top of my head as exchanges with legitimate volume, and I'm not a day trader or all that involved

I'm a bit (maybe more than a bit..) of a limit pusher too, and over the course of a half dozen years or so I've helped push our small company from saying they're ok with remote work - but yet I'd occasionally get talked

We've been transitioning to be more supportive of remote work. We're a small company (~30), and have never had much an official policy. Generally, it's - you're adults, get your work done. But the culture was such that i

My situation is similar to what chmod775 describes. We serve 200+ TB/month, and no we didn't just forget to use a CDN ◔_◔ Those cost money, too. For us, cloud is about double - $10k/month more - than dedicated boxes in a data

You may find it pleasant to have people around and water cooler conversations, but many others do not and have no need or desire for work to double as a social outlet.

I'm 10 years in with the same company and I still get a 15%, +/- 5%, raise every year. I don't believe this is normal, though. It's a smaller company, and I'm the lead developer.

That's what the ad networks do, and why advertisers accept their numbers. They've been measuring advertising impact for decades and have clear processes that generally include transparency and 3rd party auditing.
