Do a lot of practice problems. There are plenty in the book "Cracking the Coding Interview" Use the tools you'll be expected to use for an interview with one of the top 4 companies…

UBI would cause hyper inflation if it came from 'new' money. As in, if the fed just started printing out 5k/mo/person. Most theoretical implementations of UBI suggest the money com…

Start investing $5k/mo while keeping my day job.

Just wanna add that we used C0 for a subset of the class, and most of the students jump into a more rigorous course which involves actually implementing malloc. I agree with you th…

I don't think so: https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/docker/ might just be a Fedora thing

yup EB interface is affected too

To answer your first question, the data is hosted on devices part of the distributed network. For example, if you have a static webpage it may either be present on every node in th…

Ansible, because I like having an agentless configuration management tool. In my experience, Ansible also seems the most readable (obviously subjective). I've used Puppet, and Chef…

I use Albert on my Arch Linux installation as an alternative to Alfred. Not quite as good, but it works and is familiar (also extensible). If you're looking for clipboard managemen…

People have had success with macOS on certain Lenovo laptops (t450s)

I just got a T460s, and am super happy with my Arch Linux setup. The build quality definitely isn't as good as Apples. I had to return my first T460s due to severe light-bleed issu…

The department had every intention of sharing the information at, I believe, Blackhat. A lot of research (especially security related research) is funded and approved by the govern…

It's unfair to think of CMU as an 'evil' entity just because of what some people in one particular and small department did. There's a lot of really good work that comes out of CMU…

At my school there was always a small group of students who went down the OS path in Computer Science. A lot of people stuck around til some fun C stuff but then stopped when it go…

I tried sending at e-mail and got a connection timed out response from hello at carsen dot io
