I watched a presentation a long time ago that went through the math of Von Neumann probes. I don’t remember the details, but it was something like a sufficiently advanced and motivated civilization could convert a Mercury like planet into e

There were a couple my city in the late 90s and early 2000s. I remember playing Unreal Tournament and Counter Strike with my friends there in high school. None lasted very long though.

I can’t live without it. The power of docker compose for the development process is unparalleled. Being able to declare my entire local environment in a single file in a consistent way, create and destroy it with a simple command, and share

This is where my thoughts went as well. Harry Turtledove is prolific at coming up with scenarios where aliens are capable of interstellar travel but not good at war. His World War series sets up a slightly more plausible scenario. If you ha

If they are real? Ya, long on Raytheon et al and pray we win the Seven Hour War… If they aren’t, I dunno? Business as usual cause its already priced in.

Pretty basic. Three one hour sessions with a manager, engineers, and final round with a director or VP. Sometimes we will do an extra session for more senior roles to follow up on stuff.

Similar thing here. The more candidates we reject the more scrutiny we get and management starts hinting we should take what we can get. The latest few hires we’ve been told to just ask basic questions and not do any coding stuff.

Every so often I set my LinkedIn profile to open to work to see what rolls in. In June, I was getting maybe 1/4th of the interest that I was in 2022. I am still confident I could find another position if needed, probably at reduced pay

The CSS like IaC language idea was not what I was expecting. It seems ok, but I was hoping for something deeper. What I mean is that I have always felt like there is tension or a mismatch between IaC and the underlying services in a more ge

As mentioned in the article, Farmers just announced they are exiting the state as well. And not just for home owners. They are winding down auto and umbrella products as well. They are no longer writing new policies and won’t renew existin

That is a little thin on details. Its intriguing at least, but I want to know more before signing up for something. Also interesting that it says it served my request from a location that is pretty far from me. I figured with 180+ CDN locat

I remember seeing reddit on my coworker’s screen in 2010. The front page of the internet? Isn’t that slashdot… Oh but its for everything? Interesting!

Thank you. This is interesting and gives me a few things to read more about.

Certainly a single Russian ICBM functioning correctly would be the worst disaster in human history and its a safe assumption at least some have been maintained. I do not want to find out the exact number. This article is talking about a ful

An intelligent leader would have found a solution that aligned incentives between the company and its users/customers and communicated it in a way that most rational users/customers would accept. I'm a sample size of one, but

Isn't the underlying issue one of misaligned incentives, control over resources, and sheer incompetence? This particular expression may be a capitalist flavor, but I am skeptical any economic system prevents or corrects for this.

Yup, deleted my account, found an alternative for the one community I participated in, and try not click on links to reddit. It was easy as my primary way of interacting with reddit was apollo...

Is this before or after the estimate is rejected and arbitrarily cut in half?

No chance there would be a switch. Consumer tastes and eduction aren't going to change. Short of that, I wish there was clearer and more consistent labeling. I avoid sugar and sweeteners. Its annoying to be in the mood for a flavored d

If I picture myself in this CEO's shoes (wanting to innovate in the materials/approach to DSVs), I imagine instructing my team to design a system that can perform test dives autonomously and then use that to gather data over many

It makes sense to invest in the companies selling shovels in a gold rush. If the VCs are investing in developer tools, I guess it means they think the gold rush is still on.

ORMs are like any category of tool. Some are good. Some are bad. Either way, you need to master it (in additional to SQL) to get the most of out it. These days, my approach is to start with some repository interface/abstraction that ex

I have a Coleman duel fuel camping stove. It can run on gasoline. It has a small reservoir. The screw on cap doubles as a hand pump to pressurize it. Fairly common style for backpacking where size and weight are critical and you don’t want

I’ve seen a shift in deer management in my state over the past decade or so. Archery season has been extended, the number of anterless tags increased, and this year, any resident that wants one can have one - no more lottery. I am no expert

My company is steadily moving from being a heavy RH shop (RHEL and OpenShift) to Amazon (Amazon Linux 2 and EKS) as we migrate from our colos to AWS. RH has been a good vendor and I have no complaints, but it makes little sense in the long

I have both. 90% of my tests are normal unit tests that use mocks or fakes as needed to test the things I care about. 9% are integration type tests that validate broad behaviors with my app’s direct dependencies in an ephemeral environment

This takes me back. We had most of a set when I was a kid. I remember many times reading science articles over and over while eating cereal at the kitchen table. I guess not a lot has changed except I read wikipedia (or, let’s be honest, HN
