I have some friends on the mechanical engineering side of things at SpaceX and can definitely say that 9-5 work hours don't even seem to be a suggestion. It likely varies team to team though.

I'm glad you mentioned that case, I just filled out the documentation. Luckily I kept receipts, correspondence with Seagate, and still have one of the failed drives. Considering I was a college student at the time, it cost me a lot of

After searching around San Antonio's terrible local news sites for a while, I finally found a picture of the utility building which has put the project on hold: http://static-21.sinclairstoryline.com/resources/medi

Personally, it's because my experience with their high end consumer laptops made me never trust their engineering again. Never have I had a laptop that was such a failure in terms of thermal engineering and also mechanical design. Cons

The day Apple makes a power cord that doesn't have a cable sheath with the consistency and durability of silly putty is the day I will recognize them as back on track. It's a small detail, but the power cord is the one part of the

Yeah, in this case I'd tend to agree that using a good framework like Passport and then the JWT[1] strategy is probably a good move. It's never a bad idea to understand the basic structure of how a framework might be doing the wor

I've been lucky enough in the general case to either be in charge of system design or have very thoughtful coworkers who are well aware of the burden of technical debt. Unfortunately I can't babysit every other team and have occas

This was exactly my thought, and it's not like I'm even that old. We should know better by now. I went from writing PHP in high school that looked exactly like this, to using Python CGI and then finally Flask to write (I think) ve

I was recently at a conference in DC called "Transforming Communities: Broadband Goals for 2017 and Beyond" which was largely focused on public policy related to the lack of real broadband in America. Gigi Sohn, who is the counsel

https://www.sharelatex.com changed my life in that regard. All the convenience of Google docs, with the determinism of having one single system compiling your LaTeX documents.

My findings have been that old folks (and even some middle aged folks) are still able to be completely bamboozled by popups on Chromebooks. Those popups that hijack the back button and pop up an alert when you try to close them are enough t

I need to reboot between OS X for programming and windows for CAD modeling fairly frequently. It can be really annoying if I forget to mute the sound before rebooting in a meeting.

The problem is that in the current political climate, all anyone does is call the other party a stupid, intolerant, crooked bigot. People are calling Trump and his supporters intolerant bigots and then people on the other side of the argum

A lot of people conflate the right to free speech with the right to have no repercussions for your speech. If people choose not to do business with Peter Thiel because of his political views they aren't infringing on his right to free

I think it might be more other bicyclists, some people are extremely vehement that everyone needs to be wearing a helmet, while others consider that a gross infringement on their rights.

For anyone else who was curious, an Intel i5 2500k runs at about 83,000 MIPS compared to the 1,200 of the entire IRS Mainframe.

This sounds essentially like the plot of the Book of Ember series if anyone (or their kids) is into post-apocalyptic cave living fiction.

This film sounds like what would happen if you purchased the components of a blockbuster from Aliexpress and then had them pieced together by China's Tommy Wiseau.

I had the massive misfortune of building out my first large storage box at home with those drives. Thank god for RAID, because every single one of them and every single warranty replacement has now failed. I bought HGST after that and have

Honestly I think this is a good list of questions to test out a search engine. As far as interviewing a DevOps guy, maybe? I consider myself a decent DevOps person out of necessity, but questions like "How to add a new system user with

I used them as well this year for the first time, because they seem to be the only filer that will file contracting income for free. I really liked their interface and the lack of upsells.

Luckily I need to accept payments mostly from government customers, which means mostly ACH and debit card. I think PayPal would be seen as pretty mickey mouse actually.

This article has kind of occam's razored me, because I can't actually tell if the author is serious. Do the inline HTML strings common to this style of programming remind anyone else of the good old days of writing PHP code with a

I hadn't heard of the AHP, thanks for sharing it. I really like the idea of dual voltage flexibility, which you lose on the higher power Everlast.

To me this says "we make such huge margins on these welders that we can intentionally cripple them and sell them at a lower price. Someone out there could produce our top end model for the low end price." It logically follows that
