The only cops I meet these days are in the jiu jitsu gym, and they are usually very nice people. It’s interesting to just be playing a sport with someone but also realizing they are actually seriously training for the danger of getting into

And lots of podunk towns also have officers who live in the community, hang out with you and your family at the Saturday Fish Fry, and know that when some new neighbors from the city call 911 because they see me crossing the road at 0200 in

Oh man, who can forget the interview questions back in the nineties. I go to an interview after spending all week writing trading systems in C++ and it’s always “let’s say you are building a car, how would you structure the classes?” LMAO,

Maybe this guy did some social engineering at one time or another but the idea that he could get any employee at a Wall Street firm to spend an hour reciting the cell phone numbers of all their executives is a load of bullshit.

I just miss the balance - between some kids having fun and some angry Karen calling the cops. And the cops were sort of like “Yeah, kids do stupid shit and it might go south, but let’s let them have the adventure.” And we all lived and had

Cops were different when I was a kid, lol. I remember me and some buddies getting set up to rappel off a bridge over the Minnesota river and some cops rolled up. After questioning us (14 year olds who were clearly at risk of accidentally ki

Hi All, I’m working on a small project called textmyapi.com (no website right now) the original idea was to allow people to invoke API calls over text messaging but with the advent of ChatGPT and related AI technologies I’d like to look at

This reminds me of my first experience with how executives think vs engineers. I was working for a day trading firm and was a hardcore C++ nerd at the time. We were having scalability issues and the CTO asked me if there was as anything I c

And, fortunately, the hero’s MacBook Pro will use the same graphics card as the alien mothership, so we’ll display a jolly Roger on their screens right before we set off the nuke.

I forget the name of the TV series but there was a great show where aliens had occupied earth and the drones were just completely lethal and unstoppable. It was very realistic, the machines would just show up and instantly frag everyone in

I ran into some folks in a similar situation a few years back in the Lucerne valley. We were driving out to check a campsite for a party we were going to have the next weekend and came across some folks in a Pontiac Grand Am - same story, t

I’d have to agree here - with no comms and no water their best bet would have been to torch the van and hope someone sees the smoke.

You folks are probably going to skewer me for this, but here goes: I’ve been a hiring manager for many years and hired a lot of people. It starts with reviewing resumes just to see if someone has a few years of experience in similar technol

The wheels turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine. This is a major case and it will take time for various agencies to put all the pieces together.

If you really want to get away from it all, I can recommend areas around the Chiricahua wilderness in AZ. My brother picked up 40 acres for $20k and it’s really beautiful country out there. You can get a few hundred acres for $100k or so if

This. I’ve been wilderness backpacking for a long time and still carry a 2m radio just for fun, but the usefulness is limited in a lot of places. If you’re climbing up a mountain in NH you can pretty much hit a repeater from anywhere, but i

True story: A few days back my wife and I were doing Wordle. I could tell the answer was “RUSTY”, her pet name for me. So I told her the answer was sitting right next to her and she says “No, STUPID is six letters.”

I’ve found that counter offers don’t really work. If a person is willing to resign it’s best to just let them go.

Sigh. I just had this experience a few months back. I went out on a limb, hired a junior guy, and after six months of getting him up to speed on a fairly complex fintech application he resigned and went to a a random web development job tha

I’m probably nowhere near your level technically, but I’m 52 and still going strong. I love this field so much, and best of all I’m a hiring manager and so I get to welcome all these young kids into it. Warms my heart when some youngster co

When I was a kid we didn’t even have ones! We had to write all our code with zeros. Apologies to Scott Adams of course. https://dilbert.com/strip/1992-09-08

The new Navy camouflage is designed to keep your uniform looking clean when you are working around paints and oils and so on. It’s purely for workplace aesthetics and not intended to hide you from anyone.

That’s kind of like hunters who buy expensive camo and then their wife washes it with laundry detergent that contains brightening agents. To human eyes it still looks like camo, but to the deer you end up looking like Barney the Dinosaur.
