I’d have said AI safety, but it’s already on your list. Excellent. But, why? Nothing about "AI safety" is remotely useful. It would be like researching "alcohol safety" (something everybody has access to and nobody c

couldn't imagine learning C without learning x86 One difference: C->x86 is a static translation layer. Other network/system things dynamically change out from under your "designed" system and alter threat/secu

What I like: not needing a car (no car payment, no car insurance), any event (concert/meetup/parade/show/etc) is only 20-30 minutes away door-to-door and you don't need to park since you have no car, central park is

Exactly right, but over the past six years there's been a strong (and accelerating) trend among developers of " lalala we don't want to know how anything works! give us an API and go away." Most developers I've se

I moved from The Bay Area to NYC. Things I miss about The Bay Area include: meetups where the attendees are actually useful people you want to talk with, more similar developers (NYC developers tend to have +20 years on SF developers unles

if you dig far enough, you can find some dependency of a dependency of dependency that relies on GitHub. Brew/npm/build script/whatever But really, why? Is it just institutional laziness on the part of all developers? We h

"data center" is a confusing term. Very few companies build their "data centers" (apple, google, amazon, NSA, actual 'data center' companies, etc). Most companies rent cage space in a larger data center and ca

Why is the master on GitHub anyway? If a company can't maintain their own internal tools and self-hosting servers, why does the same company think it can run reliable services for users? Not putting the core of your business on a remot

Oh, interesting. That's certainly what the SV elite need, isn't it? Yet another closed social network for them to preach their wise and monied thought leadership down upon us lowly commoners. cloudbro social all the way.

even medium to highly paid workforce members aren't entirely capable of spending en masse these days. I'd love to stop paying $3500/month in rent, but any property to buy around here has a median price of $1.2 million. Unles

Sorry, but it's actually really simple. It's the same reason why on a Jet Blue flight, my phone shows me geolocated to Long Beach, CA for the entire flight (if I don't hold the phone up to the windows). Phones prefer wifi p

What is it and why would people use it? Mentioning something nobody uses and nobody has heard of doesn't seem like much of a a priority when critiquing a popular service.

There has always been a boom market in messaging going back to ICQ (and maybe earlier). The big problem is: companies want money, so they don't want to make the mistake of IRC as being 100% free and open and decentralized. The cycle

We're in a new weird technology landscape where everything is driven by pride and ego and money instead of "what's best for everyone" progress or even stable technological advancement. Things like Docker and systemd are

Sadly, "deep learning" (much like "AI" itself) has become more of a marketing term and less of a technical term these days. If I tell someone I made a deep learning system, it conveys no details other than it's some

The simplest definition of turing completeness is: a system capable of manipulating symbols with no restrictions on recursive depth. Basically, if you can write "while (true) { doStuff(); }" (or an equivalent TCO version), your sy

Can do the same thing a little more simply by sniffing phone 802.11x mac addresses and/or bluetooth identifiers. Can also modify the idea a bit to create an "unknown person" warning system if it detects unauthorized device ID

There's a theory that systemd is a way to make certain flavors of Linux more proprietary/locked-in by exercising absolute control over vital system services though non-standards bodies.

Should I just burn my CS degree and get a job a burger king? I have the same problem. It's a numbers game. You just have to interview at 8-12 places until either a.) you find people who understand you or b.) you find a company with

If the option is between "something we personally like but has edge cases or requires other understanding that could confuse some readers" versus "something everybody will understand," the first case should never happen.

Sometimes, issues are just questions that belong on StackOverflow or any other forum online. Exactly. GitHub offers no support for on boarding new issues, so a lot of well meaning misplaced questions can pile up quickly. There's no

Yes, but after that, you enter a queue of maybe a dozen people in no specific order to actually go through the scanner. They could pool results saying "these 10 scans are potentially from these 40 people" and cross reference aga

it's going to be a bummer to finally be forced through one. Earlier this year, Terminal 5 at Heathrow wouldn't let me opt out of the scanner. Kinda felt like a personal violation, but the duty guards just said I was uneducated

Security checkpoints don't combine identifying information with the order you go through security. If you had to scan your boarding pass before entering the scanner, that would be different, but... you don't. So, unless they are
