I have one of these too, and I honestly can't fault it. Runs Arch + i3 and they're very cheap in Australia since the education department handed them out in schools. Once things get too sluggish for me I'll see what hardware

I always found these incredibly rude, in my experience it's typically senior management, and specifically those who like to really make you feel like a nameless "human resource" Though I haven't seen it in recent years w

It's interesting that sigma is static and defined ahead of time, how do you determine the initial sigma?

iiNet was probably the best job I've ever had, certainly the place where I learnt the most, and had the most fun. The coffeecam was cute, acb - the one primarily responsible for the coffeecam - also had American candies for sale around

Given the answer to their question on how it's written is quite obvious in the provided link, I'd say if they are using an AI it doesn't appear to be parsing the content and maybe only the titles?

Compare and contrast this with the Go Standards project-layout repo example[1] - which ironically is not a standard at all. Personally I prefer a bit more rigidity in how the project is structured (/pkg/, /pkg/internal&#

(n)vim would work a real treat on a pi. Building locally might be tricky depending on the codebase, but it's not entirely unreasonable to expect to have a full fledged IDE on a pi (except Android development, lol)

Building software that relies on an incorrect assumption sounds dangerous to me. There's plenty of critical software in the world, some of which has real world consequences if there are bugs.

This has never, not once crossed my mind. I've worked at two FAANG companies and I'm fairly certain that at least at Google they'd be able to tell you've exfiltrated some code, and even if they couldn't it's mo

This is neat, but I think it's better to use your work provided device(s)/laptop for work, and your personal devices for personal things. Obviously check your contract, and IANAL but people should be cognizant of the fact that you

I think the _real_ takeaway here should be that your status page should be simple, with as little dependencies as possible, ideally none. IMHO it should be a static page using Hugo, Jekyll or roll your own if you really have to. None of thi

Sure, PHP is against internal policy. But if you take the initiative to open source a client library in PHP and it gets the attention of AWS it absolutely could result in an interview. If you are interviewing and you whiteboard your solutio

So maybe you meant something other than code size here, but using words like "minimal" and "subset" feel a bit (unintentionally, probably) misleading to me. I understood it as as a subset of features. It doesn't s
