Half the problem is no one has actually expressed a goal we're working towards. Covid isn't going to go away (at least not for a while), which I think everyone at least implicitly accepts at this point. The people who are going to

Personally speaking, the big split is if I actually have to collaborate with someone or not. If I just need to focus on writing code, wfh is great. But if i actually need to design something, use a whiteboard, and have a conversation, it&#x

On the other hand, 65 bucks a month is more expensive than my local Comcast package with the premium sports channels (which yttv doesn't even have the option for), plus Comcast has 4k live channels and surround sound. I think their fee

I'd have to imagine that's exceptionally rare though. It would be semi-solved with a second factor to unlock the card.

Ah thanks, that's kind of what I thought. I've read examples of Go but haven't written a line of it myself. the way GP described it made it sound like foo, err = bar() was merely a convention and you could do foo = bar() and

These are all problems that are yours, not mine, unless you've put it in a contract. I don't give a poop about your multiplexing oversubscription. That's a business choice. The bet didn't work out. Data caps are a common

So wait, go has handle errors by returning them, but it also doesn't force you to actually handle all return values? I thought that was the entire point of implementing error handling like that. How are we still repeating the same mist

An ISP is selling me fiber to transmit bits and an IP address to talk to the rest of the world. How many TCP connections I'm establishing is exactly none of their business unless they start receiving abuse reports (or run CGNAT, but th

Or we could just have a modern ID card that already has a cert embedded in it, and skip the whole go to the post office step. Most big companies and the US Federal government have already figured this out for their own employees. Keep the p

Or productivity goes up, since we don't need a massive population doing menial tasks. Just like every time someone has said this for the last 300 years. Won't someone think of the people picking the seeds out of cotton?

Does low latency audio work through WINE? I don't care about the specific tech used, as long as midi->hearing audio works well enough to actually play a piano.

The Philippines was part of the US back in the day too. Itd also provide a convenient base for countering China. Should the US invade and annex it?

Until you get to the president, there's always a superior office. If a district attorney committed a crime, the state AG could prosecute them.

There's also the chance that while we may be able to come up with a polynomial algorithm for integer factorization, it's not actually practical to run still. Remember computational complexity discards the constants on that polynom

Kind of hard to separate cause and effect there. Why does my dad prefer Windows? He's used it for 30 years and he's used to it. If he switched to Ubuntu, would he prefer that? Perhaps, but there's a lot of stuff to learn. So

Kind of ironic to use P = NP as an example of something to work on considering the biggest implications of proving P = NP :)

I mean the empirical evidence alone seems point at the Unix Philosophy not actually being popular in practice. GNU tools are much more widely used on boxes humans interact with than BSD/busybox. You don't see everyone trying to fi

>However, it is unlikely you would be able to say to a VP or GM, "Hey, I want to work on THAT project, not this crap one you stuck me on, because I want more visibility for promotion!" I think this is very dependent on the ince

They didn't add ldap support explicitly though, AFAICT. They added JNDI support, using a fairly small patch the guy who filed the request wrote for them. JNDI is a standard Java thing, so I'd guess they didn't think too deepl

I'll have to read the opinion, but regulations are just as much part of the law as statues. If taxpayers have to foot the bill, so be it.

I wasn't aware UW was still that cheap for residents. That's great. I'm more familiar with the northeast. For example, the in state all-in price for Rutgers these days is $30k.

That describes almost every american city. Feeling like you're in a prison is entirely due to the street level design of the buildings, which to be fair, a lot of American cities are god awful at. The difference between walking by a 15

On the skyscraper point, at least in Chicago (I'd guess) and Seattle (where I live, so I'm sure), the limits on skyscraper height aren't about anything to do with the buildings themselves, the soil conditions, or anything lik

It could, but you have to consider your threat model. Which is more of a risk: a PXE box with logging and other auditing mechanisms, and isn't exposed to the internet, or random data center ops people running around with USB drives doi
