"Glorified auto mechanic" is exactly how I'd describe how software development is viewed in Europe. There is a much bigger emphasis on "just" buying software from Microsoft and SAP to "solve" problems.

Picking up other hobbies got me back into software side projects but not as an end in themselves as they used to be (and I'm pretty tired of "learning" new tech at this point -- it's just the same things over and over an

Yeah, there are not many moving parts now. It messed with read heads in HDDs as well as CRT monitors. I still get nervous if there are magnets around cause I don't know how they work.

Serious question: Has PE M&A ever led to an improved product? (Maybe that's just a stupid rather than a serious question)

This is for signing a document with a "hand" signature, not cryptographically signing it with a cryptographic signature. Besides, if you don't trust in-browser JS then you shouldn't trust any site on the web, e.g. online

This battle has been lost my friend. The new cyber and crypto are here to stay :)

Yield farming carries a similar or greater risk to investing in stocks and sector ETFs, and that is certainly not what retail banks do with customer funds (that was outlawed by the Volcker Rule in Dodd-Frank), nor is retail banking how inve

I suppose it makes sense if you're issuing semantically versioned releases of each module and you want the GitHub releases to match, but the trend of turning everything into its own module until there's nothing left can be very fr

It's not even technically accurate. At the very least it's a draw :)

You must not have gotten the memo: Google exposed some of their corporate systems to everyone, therefore VPNs are now useless and have always been useless. :)

Generally, there's a good chance that most of these kinds of "Wtf?" logic errors are on the part of the journalist, not the person being interviewed. In the U.S, journalists don't send drafts over for comments, and rarel

Chipotle's "No more GMO food" announcement was the worst "great news" I'd heard in a long time. It was clearly just for PR and nothing else. It's good to see some sanity--this obsession with "clean&#x

Why use Gitmo as an example when there are plenty of other areas where you can bash Obama, like continuing many of the Executive Order programs? At least he genuinely tried to shut down Gitmo and was blocked from doing so. I think believing

It turns out a lot of the processing is offloaded to proprietary drivers on the EdgeRouter board. It's great for running their stock firmware, but not so great running OpenBSD. Ended up going with the new PC Engines apu1d4 board ( http

All of them, if you want to do it right. Biggest reason inactive mixed content is allowed at all is that blocking it would break too much.

In fact, Either/Maybe can function like safer versions of both paradigms: Functors allow you to build a program of many functions that will terminate with 'Nothing' or 'Either l' as long as any one of them experienc

Panic/recover is no problem as long as it does not traverse API boundaries, i.e. affects the user of your package, unless it really is a "fatal user error" in a function that wouldn't otherwise return an error.

That's something that annoys me about bikes in the US vs. Europe: People in Europe are generally taught to obey the same laws as everybody else, whereas US bicyclists, in NYC in particular, just completely wing it. When I first moved h

That wouldn't be a hard problem to solve if not for the fact that votes also need to be anonymous. That combination is what makes electronic voting an extremely difficult problem.

Your last point is exactly right: You can't choose not to use the vast majority of sites on the Internet. Facebook isn't the only company doing stuff like this by any stretch of the imagination, but claiming that you can just &quo
