Someone please correct me if I’m wrong. Wasn’t the Linux kernel built remotely using a mailing list and occasional IRC as the collaboration tools? How do we explain the “innovation” that happened there?

This is an important question and I hope they clarify it.

My Lambda workloads are CPU bound so this is great but I get it, most spend their time waiting for IO.

If you have no sales skills, asking if someone would by it or how much they’d pay merely soothes your ego. If you understand what the customer needs, the customer has money, and you know how to sell then you are going to make money. If you

Scrum is merely a batch oriented process. In (process) control theory there is over 100 years of study of batch, continuous flow (e.g. Kanban or Lean), and other types of processes. Each has benefits and tradeoffs. Like all tools the proper

I had Intuit as a client. In the consulting I do I hear gripes fairly quickly. The only gripes I heard were not really gripes just an expression of the challenge of grappling with the legacy of TurboTax. The team seemed intent on finding ne

Yes. I took those tests (and more as I presume your son did) for my ASD diagnosis. It was very enlightening and I feel like everyone should have a psych profile like that done.

I've seen a handful of articles and conference talks where the main thrust is "why isn't functional programming more popular". Apparently it works well and is "intuitive" for some people. I think the first thin

This is cool and I’m not knocking it. Just wanted to point out the irony that back in my day there was lots of fear that MS would embrace extend and extinguish Linux. How ironic would it be if this happened inadvertently because WSL got t

No it’s primarily vendor management (according to the CIOs I’ve interviewed). When you have a network security department unable to articulate its policies, which relies on vendors for everything including expertise, you damn well should

Thank you. That’s a worthwhile distinction to make. I often hear the word “modern” bandied about by developers trying to advocate for something novel. If you haven’t already it might be rewarding to fully articulate this in long form, inclu

The author looks young (judging from his picture). I'm honestly sorry to the younger generation that we didn't do a better job of passing down what we learned. Yes Virginia, Oracle is the Devil.

That’s how most companies do most everything. If they get big then they’ve figured out a systematic way to win at one or more games in business. Everything else is just enough of a shit show to get by. As with all aspects of modern business

Sometimes the ethical thing to do is adversarial. It forces better behavior for short term pain. As far as exposing users, that makes assumptions about the actions of a number of people including the company in question which could, if it s

Serious question. If Apple won’t treat you in an ethical manner then why go the ethical route? Why not just sell the sploit to the highest bidder? Seems like there’s a misplaced and unreciprocated sense of integrity on the part of many rese

I should also mention, Abbey gate, the one that was being used as a rat line... suddenly getting a lot of attention, and then getting nailed with a SBIED. Do people think that's a coincidence? This game is played for keeps.

Exactly. This weird 21st century idea of military as gracious nation building conquerer is weird and we are not good at that. Note that, conversely, force on force "wars" are won very quickly. We should have left Afghanistan in 20

When you have the opportunity to train with non-US militaries one quickly learns a bit of gratefulness. Our officer and non-commissioned officers are far more professional, and our junior enlisted are far better trained. There are some exce
