At one of those big companies I worked at a co-worker was working on a patent that read something like displaying health information from a JSON payload on a mobile application. For some reason I couldn't find it, so I assume it was re

That's my theory too. Floyd was a catalyst but not the full reason for the riots. Total aside: Also what's our country's obsession with masks that are designed to make people look creepy - like a dead skeleton. And same truck

And these banned words somehow do not stop registration immediately? And these VERY secure identity providers then later show the admin what password was attempted? I would say that's extremely insecure if not a huge privacy violation

I'll un-shorthand my comment since it wasn't understood too well, sorry about that. If it was password-strength validation, then it would have been blocked immediately during signup, with an error message that would have prevented

Pretty unlikely. That would be the weirdest shit ever. This reeks of plain-textifying a password, probably running through https, but rather either logged in plain text when the auth code is running or, and this is even more likely, they ar

For one job I wanted I knew a lot of the engineers that worked there went to a specific developer meetup group. So I signed up to give an hour presentation on something. The day I went to the interview the lead interviewer asked - hey are y

I do think it's amazing that we can now script out a million dollar data center, build up, tear down for just an hour of use (and just a fraction of the cost). And that's available to ordinary people (with a little budget obviousl

Nice domain name, it's your last name, but I had assumed it was a company that did some kind of routing :)

One thing I like about Spark is the number of data sources it supports, including its ability to write out to a table or whatever. If you want to set up a JDBC or ODBC server you can also access spark SQL : https://spark.apache.o

Get out of the software development blogging bubble. Spend 3 minutes looking at each of the following: Look at woodworking blogs, recipe blogs, gardening blogs. One thing you'll note is that those are all filled with a shit fuck ton of

Even if we have all this math at our disposal, there's always a way to include all data points you have private access to show the outcome you want. It would be useful if we had some kind of open record act, as long as it doesn't

About 3 severe and 8 less severe panic attacks since the start of the pandemic, I sure as fuck don't either.

To me this kind of stuff is fan junk news. I get that even hackers need celebrities, but front page of HN is a little extreme for a thing like this without context. If there was more context like, John C has re-written half of BSD, then we&

I read that story elsewhere today, but I was left with a few holes - when the door dash driver pays for the pizza, was it their own personal credit card, or was that a door-dash issued card? That was the missing part for me. I think that th

React has more intelligence built in than that. That's definitely not quite how it works.

Seems to be roughly the same amount of boilerplate as useContext, so I don't fully understand the separate purpose for it?

Thanks for pointing that out - I kinda missed it until seeing your post. I went through each step - it's still a bit convoluted, but definitely helps me appreciate hashing functions. It's probably very easy for a poorly coded hash

I wonder if all this AI to build self driving cars should have gone into AI that simply saves lives a lot more easily: - detect if the driver is insane, drunk, swerving (tired?), stolen. - detect baby in the backseat parked, and temp rising

I've always got the feeling that MS specific developers are highly visual studio oriented. They have their connection string built into the IDE. In fact, if you asked them to make something that builds from the command line, and runs,

I started working from home about 10 years ago. At first I was going back to an office every 4 months. I got sick twice a year, pretty much every fall/winter and spring trip. Each job since then the number of required trips seems to dr

Yes, I had the same thought. I was actually surprised and happy that we managed to pull that off. All my life I have had this weird thought: If someday aliens will come down and tell us to move some random huge mountain 10 miles to the left

I think that things only become less complex when it becomes old and reliable. Even if the internals of the thing are a fucking mess. For example, Linux, in its entirety is a complex fucking beast for its maintainers. Yet for other people i

Most startups rely on industry growth. If you have 100 drivers today and 110 tomorrow, you will have the climate for startups. If you have 100 drivers today, and 90 tomorrow, you only have room for the entrenched players.
