I'm not sure how much of it is left today, but there is precedent for Prolog in OS startup: http://www.redditmirror.cc/cache/websites/web.archive.org_84...

I also strongly like NAT. In roughly descending order: 1) It fails safe. Virtually all device misconfigurations result in failure to pass traffic, rather than being passed accident…

This was it for me. I don't really care about the stupid "hit the monkey and win" blinking animated .gifs, and lived with them for years without really worrying, but in 2015 ad blo…

It strikes me as the company equivalent of a fart app. If money is easy enough to come by that investors can drop $100k like you and I can drop $0.99, sell them what they're buying…

It's been quite suitable for my purposes, as well. :) (Hey Corey!)

I'd argue that as long as an intermediate is passing out BS certs, nobody (modulo cert pinning etc) who trusts that intermediate or its root is truly protected.

Laughably bogus (almost entirely unreadable) on a former flagship Android phone that is just barely out of contract, too.

I saw that as well... 2 and 6 gb. I understood the infographic to mean a base amount of tethering data was free per month, which sure isn't how it looks on Sprint's site.

Does anyone have info on the Sprint tethering pricing listed here? I don't see it on their site or a Google search, and the existence of such would be very compelling for me (obnox…

Wall of text ahead. Sorry. :) Don't sweat it too much. You can do things to adjust your odds, but there's a lot of luck involved, so part of it is out of your control. Who's hiring…

I'm not particularly interested in this for my phone. I'm not sure why -- I think I'm still more comfortable with the idea of having an "unlimited" resource for talking. This, howe…

Sad to learn they actually had to fake it though, it's pathetic on their part. I don't feel like they faked it at all. The entire world is ganging up against Top Gear on this topic…

Neat comic. My opinion differs on soldering irons. I find that cheap electric soldering pens tend to give me poor results. For someone starting out I think this could be discouragi…

I believe CAN-SPAM has provisions against that, but several vendors have standardized on storing the suppression files as a list of md5s. Of course that is not bulletproof (the sou…

I'm pretty sure the Apple II series all emitted NTSC analog video out, and the two common monitors pre- //c (Monitor // and Monitor ///) were green only. As a child I remember pipi…

Non-contract prepaid phones are also subsidized in the US. There have been billboards in Austin, among other places I'm sure, for: http://www.stopcellphonetrafficking.com/ I haven'…

Maybe, but I don't think so. Not many years ago people got paid to, among other things, pick out the appropriate operating system for any given application. Clearly there's not muc…

Two circuits per rack, with half of circuit per customer would be a lot better. The price would have to go up, but 3a in 10u isn't enough better than individual machine colo to be …

The promises of additional revenue always seem ignorant of the basic reality that users are only willing to pay so much per month for mobile service. If you assume that is true, th…

It doesn't seem like a dichotomy to me. There are two types of food -- meat and vegetables, yet I can have steak and beans on the same plate. Moreover, I may eat one or the other a…

I am currently in the process of negotiating an employee agreement that limits IP claims to stuff reasonably related to the official line of business, rather than the more normal "…

I think HN sends you to the previous post if you submit a duplicate, and that was what I was intending to do with this submission. I find the notion of this sort of personal develo…

Something that has thrown me off here: The position very clearly reads as a senior System Administrator / Engineer, with some project management and lead experience. But the title …
