I've wondered the same thing ... I also have a small side project to create realistic looking data dumps that can be put in unprotected S3 buckets with the idea that collecting, verifying and selling card data would become harder if on

If their numbers are to believed, the Chinese actually did a reasonable job of stopping COVID-19 (after the initial denial and inaction). Most of their tactics would not be accepted in a "free country" but if you contrast this wi

I'm still working from home which takes up most of my weekday waking hours. Spring is coming and we have a large yard of English style gardens to clean up after each winter. When it's raining I'm catching up on work I wante

"(or more likely one of their suppliers)" I don't think I was assuming that ... but your point is valid. Certain car parts have indeed been the same for a long period of time. You'd certainly want to avoid the supplier

That analogy is only partially accurate. For instance, injection molding machines are pretty flexible these days, parts are almost exclusively drawn in CAD and molds are commonly cut with EDM. Every injection molding house has to have the

I've also been handwriting small thank you notes and "kudo cards" the last few years ... it just never occurred to me that people here needed the same type of validation as those I interact with IRL.

Interesting perspective - I never really thought about the tone of my comments. I've always played "the devil's advocate" because it's the way that the smaller start-ups I was involved with stay alive. I'm go

Thanks for the TLDR (TCBDR?) ... this message is still important given Trump's desire to restart the US economy (by having everyone return to work) and his continuous dismissal of and disagreement with the US Surgeon General. Gates fo

This is an awesome project ... my daughters have been doing this a bit just using group-chat on their phones but I'm going to propose our small prep school has a movie night. I guess that will test it at scale ;)

Haha ... then their gonna take muh gunz! As an American who was preparing for this in February, I'm not surprised that the number of cases here has grown given that attitude is represented by probably 25% of the people I know. I&#x27

Thanks for being a mentor! I spent years in embedded systems design and industrial automation and now that I'm "only" doing software development, I really enjoy mentoring with FIRST. Tell your kids "Hi" from team

Right (I didn't say it was new). It's easier for someone who's unemployed to work under a short-term contract so I was encouraging employers to use "contract-to-hire" instead of a tech-interview. Funny story: I act

Perfect time to test an alternate way to conduct interviews too. Give several of the second round candidates paid work on something you actually need to have done (perhaps pick tasks that are a sprint away). It should be a great test of b

I think the (currently top) comment about it's name is actually important ... I also wondered why it was named "Helm" once I read the title as it didn't seem to fit what the application does. But you're right in th

My key take-away - humans have no sub-species but it can be beneficial to the species as a whole. Let's get to work people! (or perhaps we just haven't formed divisions in the human population yet?)

I'm going to develop an alarm app that flashes the iPad screen red and blares an alarm when the user, walking with their head down, ignores the crosswalk signs and steps into the path of a car that has the right of way. At least the u

Crowd-sourcing a producable design should help everyone. There are some assumptions (that I believe to be correct) that longer supply chains will be somewhat unreliable, so arranging local production is probably better for the patients any

So true ... let's give praise where praise is due even if we're not fans of an individual or organization. Kudos Facebook (for this policy/action). I also appreciate articles that provide a bit of humor - the sentence &quot

I saw a statistical analysis of the flatten the curve idea but assuming we couldn't ramp up the number of intensive care beds, it took 3600 days to fit everyone in under the "available health care" line. It's still a goo

Nice article ... if there's a Googler watching this, the need to educate our students remotely has suddenly become really important. For some reason, the small Christian school I am associated with was rejected for G-Suite for educati
