I mean you are both right, it's been a few years since I have been in adtech, and it isn't black and white. There are few places that will pay for stuff that isn't clicked through, but there are places that are willing to pay

The really awesome thing about these being in simple reference designs, is how easy it is to swap out things like that. I really like how they have things laid out, and will be using this as a reference for jr. folks on how to lay out logic

That seems kinda dumb. I would never purchase a car without physical controls for key things. It is such a distraction to pull your eyes off the road for common tasks.

This is cool, seems like a next gen cadquery, which was really cool to see.

K, but if these are experts that literally do not exist in the US, why are the salaries not higher than median? It wasn't meant to fill junior level positions. This program was meant to allow talent that is not available in the US, so

Things feel like the 2008/2009 time period for hiring, but stock valuations and earnings are still extremely high, which is kinda odd. It feels so strange right now for employment prospects. I don’t know if anyone else feels it, but th

This year, I started actively day trading S&P 500 because of all the volatility. Maybe its biased because I have been staring at charts more diligently than in the past, but IMHO you can almost feel the tension in the charts right now.

Hahaha, CVE was created because industry refused to track and report on things in a consistent and transparent manner. When given the option, business will almost always choose the easy path, and things like vulnerability management program

Makes me remember some of the days I had in my career. There were a couple really interesting datacenter things I learned by having to deploy tens of thousands of servers in the 2003-2010 timeframe. Cable management and standardization was

Are there any alternatives these days? Or just that you weren't expecting to have systems boot off the network?

What are you talking about? TCP/IP hasn't changed in the last 20 years... like, at all. There might be best practices which have changed around NAT, software defined networking and load balancing, but it's all on top of exist

Also, I haven't looked at the Fairphone5, but they are 99% likely going to be using a qualcomm, mediatek or broadcomm modem, which is a black box and are some of the most vulnerable components of modern smartphones.

I worked on a large scale project that was itanium based and let me tell you, the compilers / software toolchains were an absolute dumpster fire. We were planning on being between 500 and 2000 processors in our cluster. We used HP boxe

I think one of the primary reasons that it is such a dumpster fire is there traditionally hasn't been an "open" ecosystem in the hardware world, though now they are being forced towards that direction kicking and screaming. E

I don't use it but I have heard both good things and bad things about it. One of the big limitations is the fact they use ngspice for their simulation and many models are encrypted. So lots of folks use it as a frontend for ltspice. TL

Multi year breaches and general incompetence are kind of Godaddy’s MO. I remember doing notifications of suspicious activity to them and they never bothered even trying to fix it. I would be shocked if they weren’t running afoul of GDPR r

Some do, some don't. The big thing that Palantir provides you is a structured analysis platform more than anything. The idea is that your intel analysts are doing the same thing and structuring their artifacts in a consistent way. It i

I was a heavy ida pro user from 2008-2012. I have probably been responsible for or directly approved giving them 35-40k at different places over the years. I wanted to do some pic disassembly a while back and out of curiosity asked if they

I'll be fully honest that this is a bit biased as someone who lives and grew up in AZ. I do have to say though out of all the states in the southwest, Arizona has had better resource management and conservation of the limited water res

Just curious, where aren’t they complying with the ISA? I know they use a couple registers in specific ways, but IIRC, the way they use it was left to the implementer so they aren’t diverging from the architecture.

Are you me?! This basically was my experience working for a very large school district in the early 2000's. My favorite was they asked me to train a school bus driver to be the newest member of the IT staff because "they wanted to
