God yes. I work in a regulated industry, and here's the flow: InfoSec raises vulnerabilities that show up on reports that get managers scared. Developers have to continually update to accomodate. Even for non-prod deps. You can raise e

My previous team had zero problem onboarding people remotely. The steps are extremely simple: 1. Have a collaborative culture. This is difficult at some places. But an environment where people are free to spin up zoom meetings and ask quest

Also a UT Option III student, same as you. I too regret doing the program. It just feels like such a hassle and to your point it is extremely disorganized. I will say certain instructors like Vijay Garg make the program feel worth it. You l

One of the great things about the US having distributed governance is that, while this occured, it was barely a blip in my life. It didn't really affect any crucial services or facilities.

Much like people turned to Trump, people turned to alternative media because they feel the neoliberal establishment isn't telling them the 'truth.' I don't blame them, but it is what it is. People act as if the governmen

That's pretty cool. I feel like these people (who very smart people choose to lead), must be some next level incredible intellect.

People fall for it. It's horrid, but smart from a tactical perspective. I wonder if there are resources on creating divisions. It's a very interesting social science topic.

/sci/ is a weird place, but there are some extremely brilliant, bored minds there. They published a guide: https://sites.google.com/site/scienceandmathguide/ that was great for me as an undergrad.

I have a peer who says this is the greatest tool ever. I mostly just use IntelliJ for compare and merges, directories are seldom a problem.

The haircut comments drive me up the wall, particularly if you know someone who owns a small business and their accompanying struggles. Economic money movement was stalled, which can have an enormous impact on livelihood. While I can absolu

"We do know that it looks like it's a propaganda machine, and it definitely matches the Russian and Chinese playbooks, but it would take a tremendous amount of resources to substantiate that," It seems irresponsible to say th

What he's saying is that BCS is in it's infancy stages as a city. It's starting to draw in more jobs.

I'm curious about the economic impact to CA if a lot of those jobs migrate out. But CA has plenty of other industries, so they'll be fine.

There was a comment about Paypal migrating some jobs over there. Don't know about their veracity. Funny as I'm moving back to Round Rock, but as a remote worker. Housing is about to get more expensive I gather. :(

Anyone have any resources on electronics and electronic design? This was a great piece, but I'd like to have deeper knowledge in the field.

Took a graduate distributed systems course at UT Austin and it felt like a Leslie Lamport's greatest hits course. The best part was that all of his papers were actually really easy to understand and interpret... aside from Paxos which
