I think a lack of self-confidence and a lack of a strong group of friends is the actual issue here. If you have both, your friends are always there to let you know how much you are loved.

My dad works in aerospace. In no field or world does anyone actually check every little part. You create a process, you test that process so that you understand its limits, and then you make sure to follow that process. Now I don't kno

Even in the Western world, you can appreciate low bandwidth apps even you are a music festival or traveling through relative wilderness.

Don’t forget that the US had Internet on mobile phones in the 90s/2000s too. It was called WAP. However it was expensive as shit. I’m glad that both WAP and i-mode failed and we got the real Internet though.

My impression with a lot of products is that no one that is substantially involved in making them actually substantially uses them themselves.

Most of my best work is from desperation, sometimes very indirectly. I think this is how humans and maybe most living things work. Motivation is not that easy to come by.

Naturally you want a team of really good people but the fact of the matter is not all companies have that kind of pull.

I’ve seen two types of people approach problems: Type 1 tries to find the error message and figure out what it really, really means by breaking down the error message and system. Type 2 does trial and error on random related things until th

Long ago I made a conscious effort to turn off my blinker when I’m halfway into the next lane and now turn signals are like entirely subconscious for me.

Can’t you just use insert triggers and reject inconsistent changes? I haven’t used Postgres much but SQL Server triggers let you do pretty much any constraint you want. Of course you have to be careful because constraints can really slow th

I don’t think it matters what language we’re using. Working with relational algebra means putting yourselves in a certain mindset and if most people honestly have no interest in learning SQL, they’re not going to learn some other language.

You can never be perfect enough where you won’t drop crumbs on your keyboard but if you make a rule to never eat near your computer, you will never drop crumbs on your keyboard. Writing high quality code is not about being perfect — it’s ab

There’s something called Auditory Processing Disorder where you are not able to able to differentiate sound and it supposedly can develop later in life. I’ve had it since I was a kid because I always passed the hearing tests but every other

Assuming that it’s not me that’s being an ass (saying “I could do it with a few Python off a USB drive” would be being an ass), if my interviewer is offended because I offered the practical solution, I am not working there, especially if th

I would have had that uncertainty that you are describing when I was a junior dev. But now as a senior, I have the same questions and answers regardless if I’m being interviewed or not.

Permissions to me is about setting a policy and authorization is applying that policy. I have never wanted to use them interchangeably.

It’s possible to figure out exactly what failed if you know how it all works. But to write a tool to provides a useful description to the user is near impossible because no two setups are the same, it’s not possible to know if something is

You can already do those interesting hacks with some electrical engineering knowledge. What this is going to allow is what Flipper Zero did: allow you to do something that was already possible but now it only costs money instead of requirin

We used a yokushitsu kansouki a lot when I was traveling in Japan and they were were awesome but I felt it was not as practical if you had a lot of laundry. Plus the having to shower thing made it annoying sometimes. I do hang dry some clot

I’ve seen people slog through untested code where they fear to make a change but I’ve also seen people slog through code with too much test coverage where the tests go through constant churn. I don’t understand why people don’t just add one

Sure but I’m not replying to the thread. I’m replying to a post where someone said most protocols have in-band signaling and therefore this problem is unavoidable.

Injecting random data into any protocol will break it. When we’re talking about whether someone can inject data into the link, we’re talking about the end user and not the software. If we’re talking protocol design, then you wouldn’t want r

I think the big problem was that digital technology just wasn’t good yet to bother making a digital camera. It’s not just the sensor… it’s also storage and processing and it took a few decades before digital cameras were good. Investing in

Kodak was probably a chemical company first with a depth of chemical knowledge (a bulk of the development of photography was the design of film chemicals). Fujifilm, Kodak’s later main competitor, was in the same boat and they just leaned i

Not in modern times. The terms harken back from the day of circuit switched networks but now that we have heavily transitioned to packets, bands are an artificial construct on top of packets and applying the term isn’t very clear cut. The m

From my experience, almost no protocols have in-band signaling. No protocol I’ve ever built has in-band signaling because it’s nuts. You always know what the next byte means because either you did a prefixed length, your protocol has string

Choosing a path based on the assumption alone that you will land on the average or median is a dangerous game to play.

From what I gathered, they Photoshopped a CAD drawing and changed numbers around (and not far presumably) — I’m not sure why that is too surprising given that the manufacturer is building it off the measurements and not literally the scale
