Process first. Then Automation. Put another way: Commitment and accountability to a process must precede the tool that implements said process.

I think it's a great idea for the kind of jobs the OA is talking about, but a terrible idea for tech jobs.

You forgot #3: A company with a lot of cash, and a lot of time to waste. I really don't think this can work. Whenever we post for a position, I get flooded with a bunch of garbage resumes from people who barely have an idea what progra

No, they are not. I will guarantee that if you open Preferences, that your "New windows open with" setting is set to "Homepage," and your homepage is set to http://www.apple.com/startpage/

Agreed. And that is why DS9 was the best revival series of the run.

This is almost certainly about OEM Windows licenses.

They were considered a workaround for architectures that didn't have native multi-threading. I don't remember when they were dropped, but it was well before the Oracle acquisition.

Aside from preemption, the other notable difference is process management. They are incredibly lightweight in terms of RAM and CPU usage. You can create millions of them because they do not map directly to kernel threads, and thus to not in

2FA does not usually mean U2F hardware such as Yubikey. Reddit does not support hardware keys. Most of the time, 2FA means using a token generator, such as Google Authenticator, Authy, or similar. They are just apps. This is much safer than

To quote Tom Swift (from Gulliver's Travels): Judges are picked out from the most dextrous lawyers, who are grown old or lazy, and having been biased all their lives against truth or equity, are under such a fatal necessity of favoring

Except all we know is that: 1) It was in a market area. 2) It was well built. 3) It had cubby holes that probably held scrolls. That's all. The rest is speculation.

I think the whole "public" library theory is a bit off. Just because it was a public building does not mean it was anything resembling what we would call a public library. More likely, it was a government library, like a registrar

Elzevier isn't the only one, either. While not as egregious, there is Proquest, who locks private researchers out of many databases and digital works (mostly historical works) that are not available anywhere else. If one is not an enro

I immediately thought of ETL when I read this. I don't see how this tuple space concept can work possibly replace robust supervised process management. Also, how is tuple space different than message passing? Somehow a process needs to

Right. So we have no idea what consciousness is, or how it works, or where it comes from, but yet we can deduce that there is no such thing as unconscious thought?

So, "All mainstream languages marketed as functional" would include Elixir, and yet Elixir "barely missed out on the top 25"?

You are assuming that every use of VPN is captured in your scenario. It's not. And I understand MDM perfectly well. I am the CIO of a company with 350 Macs managed through JAMF. Also, nobody in enterprise who knows what they are doing

No. There are plenty of setting an end user shouldn't normally poke around in, that are still accessible under something like an Advanced button, or are an Option-click away. This should be no different. What if I'm a consultant,

What boggles me about the VPN implementation on Mac is the massive amount of functionality that is not accessible unless you are using Apple Configurator to create a profile. Then you have to install the profile, and for any configuration c

Well, it’s a crackpot website, so consider the source.

One of the things that I like about the Erlang/OTP ecosystem is that it encourages you to design systems that are very modular, but does not force you to run every service as an independent entity. By designing around supervision trees

In my experience, the real issue is a paradigm gap. The one partner honestly thinks the other should be able to divine their intent, and blames them when they cannot. Their minds are in very different places, and bridging that gap is often

I don't. But I also don't stigmatize it. They treated the white settlers just like they treated rival tribes - as competitors for land and resources. As in nearly all of human history, these conflicts are settled by war and bloods

Thank you for this. Balance it hard to find. The fact is that we are speaking not of a monolithic nation, but of individual tribes with unique histories. Lumping Native Americans into a single bucket, while politically useful, is ahistorica

This is an absolute necessity. Without an RSS feed, there's no easy way to listen to this on a Podcast app. I for one do not bother with any podcast that doesn't have a feed.

Well, for disk access, it certainly was an OS. As for more powerful? Nah. Not sure how anyone could make that case given that the Unices of the time were already multi-user multi-tasking systems. Given the hardware DOS ran on, it had to be

Yes, so far so good. This is the page I always test for Firefox CPU usage: https://flypaper.soundfly.com/ I don't visit this site, but on a past Google hit, I discovered that it would make Firefox go crazy. No idea why

Yeah, my mail server cert is issued by LetsEncrypt. So this has nothing to do with actually encrypting your SMTP.

Not the headline. It actually says: "Former astronaut doubts that NASA or SpaceX will make it to Mars with their shiny new rockets" Which is, of course, no surprise to anyone, lease of all NASA and SpaceX.
