I dropped out of school in 9th grade. I make $200K a year. A friend of mine has a college degree and has been unemployed for a year. There is no uniform standard of education in the US. Kids in the South are being taught that evolution is o

They're not revealing anyone's names. Names are anonymous by default until you elect to share yours.

It's both funny and sad when people find out how the real world works and get all indignant. "How dare they do a thing they're legally allowed to do! Rabble rabble rabble!!!" Glassdoor is trying to make money off you, li

Hickey's definition of simple is wrong. It's not the opposite of complex at all. They are not opposites, nor mutually exclusive. - Easy is when something does not require much effort. - Simple means the least complex it can

> The "simple" in S3 is a misnomer. S3 is not actually simple. It's deep. Simple doesn't mean "not deep". It means having the fewest parts needed in order to accomplish your requirements. If you require a di

The high vis is paramount. The helmet... well, I just don't know how much good it would do if you get clipped by an F-150 going 60mph

The scary part of this to me is biking on country roads, especially with 55mph speed limits that big pick-ups regularly blow past. I live in a rural town, and I would be terrified to bring a bike outside slower town roads.

That's just one logistical problem (of many). The real reason we don't have flying cars is because we don't want them bad enough. If we spent enough capital, we could solve all the logistical and technical challenges and have

Every American utility company I have ever looked into has numerous crimes and controversies associated with it. It's kind of weird. I actually suspect it's due to them being publicly traded. They literally are not allowed to do t

That whole concept is bizarre. It's like wanting to fly, so rather than buy a plane, you take a Caprice Classic and try to make it fly. If CoreOS actually wanted to make distributed computing easier, they'd make patches for the Li

Agreed. If Linux were a distributed OS, people would just be running a distro with systemd instead of K8s. (Of course, systemd is just another kubernetes, but without the emphasis on running distributed systems)

When people call Kubernetes a "great piece of technology", I find it the same as people saying the United States is the "greatest country in the world". Oh yeah? Great in what sense? Large? Absolutely. Powerful? Definite

Oh, HN. Always upvoting the dumbest contrarian thinkpieces. It's like accidental 4Chan without the humor.

Sad that it's not a WYSIWYG. The old Visual Basic will forever be the benchmark for how easy it is to make a GUI. If it's not that easy I don't wanna hear about it.

Wanted to unsubscribe but they require you to login to do that. Can't recover account due to some recovery information supposedly being wrong? So I just mark them as spam. A bit insufferable but nothing else to be done about it.

STIGs are just references for implementations. The actual security standards are CMMC, made up of various DFARs, and FedRAMP for the cloud. Like you say, it does take on average 6-12 months to certify a new vendor. The big problem is it&#x2

It's a strange thing to watch someone admit their own ignorance, and then immediately disregard it, in order to make a case for something that they - by their own admission - can't possibly understand. It's a doublethink poem

For what it's worth, this website is geared more towards software developers than writers. That's probably fine? But your market is going to be much smaller than if you focused on writers and regular people. It wouldn't take

As someone who got very good at DDR at a young age, and is now older, it's clear that if you do any exercise which challenges your balance when you're young, your balance will be better when you're old. I haven't practic

Lol, wait, HTTP2 and HTTP1.1 both trounce HTTP3? Talk about burying the lede. Wasn't performance the whole point behind HTTP3? This chart shows that HTTP2 is more than half as slow as HTTP1.1, and HTTP3 is half as slow as HTTP2. Jesus

With their other losses they'll need some impressive financing to get anything new off the ground. Good luck securing that in 2024. Even if they get it, they're gonna take another bath if they try to target sub-$25K with a crossov

Every developer needs to learn two lessons about great interfaces: 1. Layout, format [aka style], and interactivity, is both hard and necessary 2. Interfaces are subtly complex Number 2 is the reason that "simple" formatting marku

The US, among other industrializing nations at the turn of the 19th century, had a pretty poor record for reliability, safety, etc. Over the years, local groups gathered together and lobbied for changes, usually to protect or defend a parti

I think this paper is well-intentioned, but is trying to treat the symptoms rather than the cause. The paper focuses on microservices, and then tries to avoid claims of "they just don't like microservices" by describing the w
