I'm jealous, I haven't actually made it out myself yet! I've got a little baby to come home to. It's been a very supportive company in terms of work/life balance as well.

There's a handful of places in the USA with thriving tech industry, and there's plenty of opportunity in general, but quite often people have to relocate for the really exciting opportunities. I haven't been to Spain, but my

I'm helping to build a scalable system for delivering high value and life saving medical supplies to hard to reach places via autonomous aircraft. The system is currently operating in Rwanda and Ghana, and aggressively expanding over t

The article's Delay function unfortunately has a rollover bug. If the counter rolls over in the middle of a delay, the delay will return early. It's a nefarious bug because it only occurs every 50 days, and only if the program is

I've personally seen many dozens of SD cards fail such that they don't even know their own sector count anymore. My suspicion is that in-progress wear leveling operations aren't rebust to sudden power loss (ejecting card with

This whole situation is absurd, and the idea of passing a law explicitly banning intentionally injuring a teacher during a training drill is the cherry on top. It sounds like this whole training activity is being run by idiots that don&#x27

It seems to me that the guy's "vanilla" approach is opening up a new authenticated connection for every email, whereas his proposed "new" method is reusing the same connection for multiple emails. Not surprised it p
