The best way to get millions invested is to have other investors go first. This is the guy who played video games during a venture pitch and rambling on about a future Everything App. The business idea of venture capital is not to follow

Sys admins changed name to SREs which changed named to devops engineers or cloud engineers or whatever the title is now. Still the same competency. Someone needs to know how those protocols work, tell you latency characteristics of storage,

The strategy to not care about gaming today because it won't be dominant in the future is hard to understand. Given that we will spend all our days in VR in 10 years or so, who will own that space? The company that designs future produ

That is true! I forgot about that. You need to be able to read metadata, including file names, but not the actual contents as the hash would suffice. That sounds like the start of quite a fun project!

Read access can't really be partially restricted in git, because git is content addressed. Without the data you can't construct the sha hash, so there's no way to address a commit at all. You could publish partial data, and y

Linus pretty much set the culture for Linux development, it is strongly guided by the taste of a handful maintainers. You could never take something from the two week sprint people and get it merged, it would be scrutinized in minute detail

Some fifteen years ago I briefly worked with Cisco VoIP and the IVR was all Tcl scripted. F5 BigIP load balancers has hooks in Tcl that control the balancing and can rewrite requests. So there are niches for Tcl still. Nice language.

On a physical server, couldn't you just hotplug a PCIe card in there and DMA out any data you are interested in? Something like a network card with firmware specifically for the purpose should do it. It sounds so much a standard thing

Well, that's the nature of software. If the requirements were actually precise and concrete , you could commit them to git and that would be the end of it. The fact that they aren't is a sign of information deficit and this mus

Perl made reasonable choices for unicode. A decade earlier. They are from the same culture and have similar use cases. There was plenty of time to learn.

There's also Audio-over-Ethernet, which is still used for professional audio where latency must be held low. I believe there are other broadcast protocols that runs on Ethernet for the same reason. Fibre Channel-over-Ethernet used to b

This is true for every tech company outside of Silicon Valley as well. I doubt the process is even specific to tech companies. Code is work, and the one thing that signals moving up the social ladder is not having to work. That has been tru

When you put it like that, yes. Hardware is cheap and all that. In practice I think that an organization that doesn't understand the software it is developing has a people problem. And people problems generally can't be solved wit

If everything is just datagrams, what good are datagrams? Are we forever bound to use deep inspection just to keep acceptable service in our networks? Having a separate layer for data connections was a good idea for many reasons which have

Adorable? Maybe. Probably also a little bit weird. But kids are like that, they can be a bit weird sometimes. Translating square paper pixel graphics to decimal numbers and writing them down is not everyone's idea of fun. It was during

There's no way to know if this question is sarcasm or not; but it's a good one. The EU is not uniform in this. Some countries face the same question, the UK and Norway comes to mind. Our history era is pretty much defined by oil,

Teamwork takes time. I think a lot of people do not understand that. As soon as we get above two or three tightly knit people internal communication starts to become the bottleneck. It's inherently serialized. It's the human equiv

Of course it could be massive credential stuffing. The problem is that an inside job would look completely identical. Or negligent security. If you sell your DNA profile to someone, they are free to give or sell it to someone else. At best

That's not something inherent to dynamic typing. If we take a specific language such as Python, that specific behaviour has changed between versions. Much too often, any discussion of typing systems often boils down to specific traits

Is that really a fair comparison? The dynamically typed language is also typed, probably a longint. Had the C++ example used long then these examples would be at least bug compatible. If we're discussing weakly typed languages then thi
