The most surprising aspect of this story to me is that the Air Force was allowed to exercise this level of resourcefulness. I just assumed that the procurement process would stipulate 10 year support contracts or something similar.

The bureaucracy in general is in bad shape and slow to change. It would take the commitment of multiple administrations to get it where it needs to be, especially in areas like digitization and procurement reform

Nothing past calc I I’d reckon. I think one of the issues was how function calls can seem arbitrary at first (esp in python). You have imported functions, user defined functions, built in functions, etc. so when students see a function call

Anecdotally, a lot of people do fine in the 101 class up to the point where functions (imperative paradigm) are introduced. Thats the threshold for the level of abstraction where people start feeling frustrated. In college, I tried help som

At the time I attended, the CS department at my school was still a subset of theoretical math. So my classmates nearly all were polite, if shy, math majors. If it was more oriented towards the brogrammer culture, I’m not sure I would’ve stu

I believe it. But it makes source coding auditing and static analysis incredibly difficult.

Hopefully they moderate. But freedom of the press is the keystone that holds a free society together. Once that is chipped away at by the government, it’s difficult to hold back the deluge

This type of information is used all of the time to discover and compromise web accounts of the victims in bulk. There are scripts that take in this data as input and will do a lot of the work for you to take over their accounts (or at leas

It’s the regulatory capture that really imposes drag on innovation and actual growth. Oligopolies cement their position by lobbying for legislation that essentially pulls the ladder up behind them. Argentina doesn’t really seem like the mos

I think the discrete conclusion to draw from this story is that it’s completely unsurprising that someone of his moral caliber was invested heavily in what turned out to be a complete veneer (and that’s putting in nicely)

As an interviewer, I take these as an opportunity to really drill down into their experience. If they actually did the thing they are taking credit for, they will be able to talk about it in great detail. For more advanced candidates, it al

On a local link, if you know the ipv6 address of one machine you can guess others by getting their device ID (MAC address) and then modifying the known address. So you can use neighbor discovery to find the other MAC addresses to craft the

It’s on my bookshelf but I’ve been slacking. Too much HackerNews probably. I really do love the 19th century magazine to novel genre though.

That looks like it’s up my alley, I’ll check it out. Thanks! Count of Monte Cristo is the best revenge story ever told which is why it appeals to me, but you’re right about the immersion aspect. Maybe I would choose the unabridged version f

Options do not seem like real wages to me because unlike RSUs I’ve never been able to translate them to cash. You’re totally right. And with future expected value of options decreasing (and RSUs), base is more important than ever.

Keynes had a theory that wages are sticky-down meaning they rarely decrease. My guess is tech salaries will stagnate for a while. But with poor performance of RSUs and inflation eating into purchasing power this will essentially be a pay cu

Exactly. I refuse to watch the imperialist propaganda vehicle known as the Marvel cinematic Universe. Only partially kidding. There is a comical parallel though with China’s Wolf Warriors movies. Hugely popular, and maybe even good cinema,

The AWK Programming Language is great too. Every technical book should be written this way: describe feature, show feature through example, include cookbooks of useful commands. https://ia903404.us.archive.org/0/items&#

I already ceded the managerialism, hyper-individualism, and metric chasing of our neoliberal society is partially to blame. The bad apples should be separated out of the common classroom. It’s ok for some people to fail. But it doesn’t seem

Everything is great about NGINX (features, source code, performance) but the DSL can be pretty painful. The C module API is not exactly intuitive either.

Same. For me, it’s the JavaScript development experience that really sets Jetbrains apart. I’m sure other IDEs can offer parity with the compiled languages, but if I’m using an IDE in the first place, I’m probably working on a web app, and
