I am not confounding good work with good people . I very often see great people deliver poor work. I rarely see bad people . I can be a great person and want to succeed at something I am I’ll equipped to do professionally, or for whateve

Yes very serious question, and very real (multiple orgs). And most times the team manager has zero control over hiring or firing. Nor any access to C level decision makers, who are buffered by layers of HR. The orgs I have seen this in are

Ok but serious question...what do you do with highly ineffective teams that you inherit, and/or are contractors, and/or are the only engineers available, and/or are only motivated by a paycheck, and/or would rather be

Security features should NOT be limited to enterprise only. Performance, monitoring, advanced query capabilities are much better options. Security should be table stakes for ALL software today. Please reconsider.

There are many abandoned vehicles littered all over Alaska. As a local told me, these are “Alaskan storage containers”. There’s a small museum in Wasilla that has restored some of the abandoned vehicles of historic interest going back to t

It exists [0] in a way. I was just in Healy in June and there is a pub with the bus used in the movie. Tourists line up to take pics. The beer is very tasty! I hadn’t read the book or seen the movie so I scratched my head at all the commoti

I am currently in Alaska between 2 raging fires (Swan Lake Fire, and one near Fairbanks). Temperatures in Denali Park and Anchorage peaked at 86. I casually surveyed every AK resident I met about their views on climate change and I heard s

Top benefit is access to a global talent pool. Also, in a fully distributed team, everyone logs all time against defined tasks (eg GHI or trello card) so you get useful data. Having no single time zone means no “management by walking around

Try looking at a Monet painting very close (like leaning over those protective wire barriers at the museum until the guards shoo you away)...it’s a mess of gloppy paint. After awhile you see structure and you can start to build up an unders

I’m not interested in gigs but I am interested in open process|source security audits. Most recently kubernetes and CNCF security audits, but the frameworks and principles should be the same. Would you be interested in free (as in open) se

SGX doesn’t guarantee results, just isolation. You would still need a protocol for confirming that the code was error free, didn’t leak data, not to mention side channel attacks and timing analysis. Oblivious RAM, FHE, ZKSNARKs are to be c

SGX only guarantees the isolated memory region remains isolated. It doesn’t guarantee the code running in it is secure or even leak-free. Microsoft Research has studies this and release a compiler for making stronger claims about code runni

My guess is as the number of participants goes up, the quality of the student will decline and many will never get to payback employment levels. But it just has to work enough to make good margin. Right now they can cherry pick the most pro

Common person? No. If you are a common EE grad student, no problem. However could someone take it to a nefarious local PC repair shop with better than average skills and pay someone? Yes. So there is a vast middle ground between naive miscr

Looks really interesting but wow do they have every conversion hack enabled which makes it look super spammy IMHO. I’m all for converting, but there is a fine line between pitching your product and “But wait! There’s more!”

My history is 3x 7->8 and 1x 8->9, 3 with VC, 1 with no VC...we definitely found it easier to go 6->7 in all four as the “early adopter” set all talked to each other and that was enough to get momentum and small enough that bigger
