I wonder if Wodehouse ties together both types of heroes in Bertie and Jeeves! Though it's been decades since I read a Wodehouse book, I'm just uncontrollably laughing now just thi…

> "Where Claude excels:" Am I reading a Claude generated summary here?

Good point! I was look at it from a users pov. Let's say I have a BPF script for monitoring a set of processes - their disk, network and CPU with some filters on specific messages.…

Is there an eBPF equivalent for QNX? Also, with the real-time linux patch (which has been mainlined now), I'm able to run C++ ROS2 control loops @ 1ms down to even 250us on commodi…

This is about 25 yrs. back. As a grad student, I used to stumble into his papers pretty regularly. Later, I'd scan for author name and pay a lot more attention if it was by Arvind …

I guess everything was "remote". My dad had to mail his code (punch cards) from (IIT) Madras to (IISc) Bangalore. He did say it was a pain though. * IISc - Indian Institute of Scie…

S-Corp, W-2 for myself. I do pretty mundane programming related stuff for safety critical systems (med device and am always looking for interesting stuff). Been remote consulting a…

Cost of policing is close to or possibly the highest expense for any city. That did not put security guards out of business.

There is some credence to the "make your own or shut up" argument here on HN. If we reconsider your "criticize a restaurant" analogy, we are not random folks walking into a restaur…

Nice article! FTA: "One for one indicates that if a child crashes it, it and only it should be considered when restarting." What is "it" in this context?

When Linus says, "let's give it one last round of testing", what happens?

Well that's a great reason for ycombinator's existence! Acquisitions are a great way for established players to "develop" products.

Like I said above, it made me more empathetic, not envious. However, I'm pointing at instances like this so that hiring managers with a enough resources also consider other pipelin…

The "room mate" network is pretty exclusionary and self selecting.

Noone within the team was a founder.

It was shocking to me that room mates could get hired that easily. This was the bay area. My comment is highlighting structural imbalances as they exist in society right now. Even …

There is another dynamic that helps the recommended hire succeed in the workplace environment. They initially get help navigating the workplace. This is extremely important for car…

Here is my own experience of getting hired into a startup. The day I got hired the manager took the team out to lunch and I asked them how each one got hired. So results: White mal…

I really like the "Here's what's not changing" section. Honorable mention for Twilio. Also, the kind of platform companies where you sign up and play tend to get acquired and becom…

It was on a 28.5 gallon (108L) tank. Still impressive!

Yup! A whole other real-time industrial protocol called EtherCAT has been built on top of the same hardware.

Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Oxford and Cambridge had pretty deep religious ties when they started calling themselves universities.
