Another option is to not take their money and build the business yourself. And don't underestimate the cost of living in Silicon Valley. $100k would barely cover your expenses for a year, maybe even less. Nevermind hiring other peopl

To be fair, the real problem isn't that someone screwed up a playbook or command. The real problem is that a tiny mistake in a command can cause an entire service to be disrupted for hours. That's the problem that needs to be fi

This article is over 3 years old, is there something more recent? Not that I discount what it's saying but what made this article relevant again?

Another great post man. I really like how you provided actual examples. Question — do you think that this would work for a SaaS company that sells HR software? I’m asking because I have had trouble finding a good data source for leads. I’ve

I wonder how long it will take starting from now (in years), until we detect the first lie coming from an AI.

That's just the developer breakout board, I doubt they intend people to use it in production devices. Most people are going to design their own boards that this solders into as a module.

That's pretty amazing, especially considering how fast everything is happening. It has to feel pretty good for the engineers, etc. who worked on this system and see it saving lives like this.

If something has to phone home to the mothership over the internet it's easy to hook into Windows networking stack at a very low level and see all the network traffic (just run Wireshark, it's using all public APIs). And even if

Also 4WD cars generally have a super low gear for crawling at low speeds & high torque whereas AWD cars usually don't have a similar gear. Low gear is critical on steep grades, particularly descending them so you can go down safel

I doubt the government has any data, there's no need or desire for dealers to send them info on their sales. Look at things like Consumer Reports who go out and survey large audiences of everyday people to see what they purchased, how

It's possible but it's not an easy switch. And god help you if you have to mix native code with Electron. Getting a node-gyp toolchain spun up on Windows is a complete and total nightmare. Add Electron and its very specific ver

Yeah but not every board can do USB storage bootloader, and there are troubles with it like ignoring Mac OSX .DS_store files, etc. Been there, done that, USB mass storage bootloading kinda sucks. Also if you load stuff like MicroPython on

This is going to be really annoying since hardware access from HTML5 is still very rough and not even standardized. Stuff like talking to a serial port isn't even on the radar (so good luck programming a board like BBC micro:bit, Ardu

They aren't doing the free upgrade to 10 offer anymore so you're probably fine. I've been running a 7 instance in a VM for a long time and never had a problem with it upgrading to 10.

Exercise, even simple stuff that doesn't require going to a gym or expensive equipment like pushups and squats. I started doing those every day since the start of this year and I can't believe how much it has improved my fitness

Go watch recent talks by Herb Sutter and Bjarne Stroustrup--they both lament the fact that C++ never developed as strong a standard library as Python, etc. With C++14 and beyond the C++ working committee is actively trying to make the lang

I'm kind of surprised Apple didn't swoop in and buy ARM long ago. I guess as others mentioned that might mean all the Apple competitors using ARM chips would flee and leave them with a lot less partners.

So what happens when your 'atomical' text update tool reads in the text file to memory, makes some changes, then the file changes on disk from another unrelated process, and your tool writes the file back out losing the previous c

That's the point though, if it's in a database you can have any number of awesome tools, text or GUI, to manipulate the state. And you don't need to reinvent the wheel to deal with atomic updates to the state, etc.

If you're out at a Starbucks chances are you're also near a grocery store or food mart of some kind. Pick up an apple, avocado, berries, etc. Or just pack them in a bag--whole fruits are easy to transport. Be wary of the glycem
