Missouri also has a governor that vowed criminal prosecution for a newspaper reporter who discovered “View Source” on a state website revealed teachers social security numbers [1].…

Actually just saw news that they’ve wrapped filming on season 2 of Silo and they’ll be airing 2025. :)

I really like how well the pattern-matching system in Elixir works with decoding binary data. It can even extract on non-byte boundaries.

Large parts of the ziprecruiter website are still powered by perl.

Yea, just to be clear though: Asahi Linux still works pretty well. My system boots near instantly; wifi, mouse, keyboard work fine. Its enough where I can easily use my M2+linux as…

Sad, but I would occasionally use my "unlimited" PTO to take a week off and just get work done. Most of the pain started when we transitioned to a sprints from a lack of process. I…

100%. I worked at a company that really went in hard on Agilent Vee for hardware testing in the early 2000's. Absolutely a thing where a manager saw a "Hello World"-like demo and w…

I worked for a company that used A/B testing to justify call-to-cancel; makes me angry every time I think about it. I guess that's one of the tricky things about A/B testing - it i…

Or they could just sign up at one of the numerous free email providers with a different username. Stripping the + suffixes is only providing one thing - pain for the users that wan…

Understood, and I totally agree that it is an industry ready for some shakeup. I used to work for a large defense contractor doing FPGA work, and we really went out of our way to t…

C (or really any traditional programming language) doesn't really map to an FPGA. There are some compilers out there that attempt to convert traditional C code to state machines fo…

I don't understand why they go through so much effort to churn out these boards that are made useless by lack of upstreaming. Oh, wait, because idiots like me keep buying them and …

100% correct. Far too many misinterpretations of the LGPL out there seem to ignore the requirement that the LGPL'd portion must be able to be replaced/updated. I've seen way too ma…

Make unfortunately depends on hard-tabs for the recipes. Your editor probably switched it to spaces.

An article about the "attrs" library was posted here a couple weeks ago. Really highlighted the tedium of Python objects while offering a neat solution. https://glyph.twistedmatrix…
