I agree. Many organizations want to have their cake and eat it too. They are basically ad-driven and looking for eyeballs. "If it bleeds it leads" I don't know that I ever really h…

Fun fact: -v typically stands for verbose except when using any "grep-like" utilities such as pgrep, pkill, etc. [edit] forgot to mention that for grep-like utilities -v negates th…

At one point you could embed webkit in emacs. https://www.reddit.com/r/emacs/comments/4srze9/watching_yout...

There are a few examples here: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-papers.html

That I did not know. Fun.

My take: we need to stop incentivizing "innovation" where everything needs to be rewritten every couple months just so someone can "disrupt" something. You know what it really is? …

Maybe universities. My mechanical engineering program taught fortran and had beowulf clusters running what was (presumably) fortran.

I do think there's some truth to the idea that our failures in mental health care have some pretty high costs on our society in other places. If we did a better job with mental hea…

> They defend against Facebook controlling the internet by offering an open source browser (Chrome/ium). Imo chrome and android are about being able to ensure ads are delivered.

I really hate the entire culture around Gofundme. I feel like a number of people use it in a way I find horrifying. My grandfather passed away a few years ago and my much younger r…

Dropped out of college. I had an intro programming class once. In terms of education, I'd probably say my highest achievements are just knocking out all the undergrad math for engi…

I believe chrome currently uses BoringSSL not NSS, but still has some facilities for writing the same keylogfile.

> You have millions of people who have called the U.S. their home for generations, and now you have a large group of people flowing into your communities and imposing their cultura…

I was directly recruited, for 2 remote jobs at once. The first one was because I hung out in an IRC channel for an open source project. The CTO of that company just offered me a jo…

Also a huge fan. When I got my first full time engineering job at $50k I thought that was amazing. It literally allowed me to leapfrog my entire family and secured what I thought o…

I agree that this wouldn't be news if he weren't so visibly publicly unhinged. But his erratic behavior sells papers.

Systemd uses bpf, it can be used for accounting of I/O.

I like the fact that there's a little competition. Personally, I tried btrfs as a root filesystem for a couple years. It definitely had weird gotchas like running out of inode spac…

If we were to use a car analogy: go has been in production for the last few years and there's a ton on the road, but the average car on the road wasn't built in the last few years.…

DNS was built in the 80s, there are still buildings from the 80s that are just fine. We're just really really bad at software engineering as a practice.

When I wasn't working remote, informally the ceiling seemed to me to be around $120k. That was a few years ago and these days I would have guessed more around $140k. Obviously I di…

Just by people I know on twitter, there's alot of great women from accounting and project management that have done bootcamps and made the switch recently.

FWIW I live in Utah, work remote, and am self taught (dropout from engineering program) and my base is higher than that. It's in the 240s. I'm the first one to tell someone to go t…
