This is not an audit and this is not how you audit. Just about anyone could support doing an actual audit. But you know what? All of these agencies are regularly audited. Every year, reports are all published. This is how it works https:&#

It’s so great to read something interesting, well written, well supported and researched, and totally engrossing. This could have been a paid piece in a magazine, but was given to us all for free. Thanks for that!

Yeah, IMO tab makes no sense for this as the default. Since I code in Go and use tabs regularly, I remapped my auto-complete AI key for Supermaven in Neovim to ctrl-L which I have no other occasion to use regularly. Now tab works properly a

Pretty sure it’s a reference to ideas like this: https://felixge.de/2013/03/11/the-pull-request-hack/ which have been popular for a long time in open source.

In my work I’ve seen that TruffleRuby codebases merging Ruby and Java libraries can easily keep pace with Go in terms of requests per second. Of course, the JVM uses more memory to do it. I mostly write Go code these days but Ruby is not ne

I just want to say that we all finally are using mostly the same VCS and that is actually an undervalued, beautiful thing. An actual “standard” that is almost universal. It used to be such a mess with all the VCS systems and having to know

Ah yes, you don't like how things turned out and so you resort to characterizing me as outraged as though I'm somehow less capable of being logical than your are. Feel free to not engage with my comments in future. I'd much p

Here in Ireland nobody cares what the gate agents say on the announcement. People start lining up way before the flight and just get on the plane. It sucks because if you need overhead room you are stuck standing for at least an hour. I’ve

I ran and maintained a CircleMUD for some years but always felt that we should have run LPMud (or MudOS). Those were clearly the superior technology. And playing them was so cool because they _changed_ much more often because it was painles

Yes, if anyone hired a 19 year old ex-con into this role digging through the personal data of government employees... I would say it's pretty clear what their intention is. Furthermore there are established processes chartered by Congr

If you read my original comment, it was about there not being a need for such security skills unless you have intentions to access the data regardless of what is put in your path. If you are denied access by the courts but you access it any

The perfect place to exfiltrate information and absolutely no need for this level of security skills there unless they intended to break into government systems they were not given access to by e.g. the courts.

Yes, in the article it says many structural engineers over the years have deemed it “unlikely” to have major issues.

You are assuming that you can't learn that stuff on the job. There is nothing in a computer science education that is not available to learn on the job and in reading and experimenting on your own over some years. By contrast, a not in

Many of the best engineers I have worked with don’t have a computer science or engineering degree. The business we’re in is writing software to support the company. Most of that is stuff they don’t teach in computer science: inter-personal

Agreed. Boot camps tried to fill the void. Some were great, some were not, like anything. Most of the boot camp grads I worked with were good juniors with real world experience to bring to the table (designers, writers, etc). But, in genera

6502 is a good start. But IMO, ARM assembly is where it’s at as a starting point. Much more useful and it spans so many vendors and classes of devices. It’s not harder than 6502 IMO.

Yes, they do. But my understanding is that we’re talking about almost the entire US-bound volume from China of all of Aliexpress, Temu, eBay, Amazon, and all the other retailers shipping from China. USPS carries a massive amount of load the

I’d deem it extremely unlikely that US customs processing or the express carriers will be able to handle that overflow in anything like a reasonable timeframe.

lol replying “uh no, they’re actually not“ is disrespectful. And I did reply with an argument. The “extremely well reasoned” argument is about trade offs, despite the claim otherwise.

Seems many people mistake “well-designed” to mean “perfect”. Read the article: he doesn’t claim that. No language is perfect, they are all trade offs. Furthermore, it’s fine to not like the design. It might not be to your taste or your requ
