People are to get rich, startups cut corners. Fuck it ship it.

I left a career of 20 years, and good pay, and part of it is AI being slammed down your throat. It is not work, which may be iteresting, on doing your own AI, its just enforcing th…

Hemp is classified as below .3% THC (compared to old-school weed strains at 15% and modern levels at mid 30%s). Hemp is male and female, and trash in potency, but THC and other pro…

That's not a sign of a good internship program. I've always put a great deal of time coming up with projects that are suitable for the intern, and they always have to be tailored t…

You may actually be hourly and not salaried. That said, it's not uncommon to be forced to log when you work, especially when there are PTO and things like that involved and that ne…

I love to work from the office, I prefer it. I hate working from my desk at home, next to my bed. We have two desks in the bedroom. I'm in MGMT. Today I'm working from home as I ca…

The thing that I keep coming back to, is that if a company is taking an action, it should be about reducing friction to go to and making the office space a better place to work. If…

The main reason to know vi inside and out as a Unix administrator has to do with it being the lowest common denominator on Unix and Linux systems. As a *nix tech I could get a call…

I can see this in progress. Needs windows, but we also need more residential, so happy to see it. https://nypost.com/2023/04/24/longtime-nyc-home-of-the-daily...

I completely agree. While theoretically possible to do given full packet captures, it does not scale. IDS/IPS systems are not in a place to operate at this level and keep this much…

Or they crack or compromise the keys that they need on a per operation bases. Even assuming ubiquitous SSL (or something more decentralized), the keys of a few advertising or web a…

I switched from OpenWRT to pfsense a while back and I am never going back. It runs great in a virtual machine, if that's your thing and you already have a need for VMs.

I think that he means per month in electricity costs. ;)

I think it may be more scary for code that allows arbitrary execution using command-line arguments. Commands like find or xargs using without defense against this would be a proble…

From the same page:"rking's personal recommendation is to go ahead and use set -e, but beware of possible gotchas. It has useful semantics, so to exclude it from the toolbox is to …

Those are medallion numbers or TLC license numbers, but not drivers license numbers. They can't be used for identity theft.

Can you please provide your definition of intelligence? I would argue that theoretically , a government (or other entity) could use intelligence but use it within a set of moral an…

A weak RNG may create an opportunity for successful cryptanalysis. This can especially be a problems on virtual hardware/platforms that don't have a mechanism for keeping a good ra…

Crypto is not about breaking in, but breaking codes. It is mostly a bunch of maths. http://www.amazon.com/Cryptography-Engineering-Principles-Pr...

One of the articles that was debunking the NK connection mentioned that the language used in NK stems heavily from Russian in a variety of ways. So if they took the use of false to…

Collision resistance is more interesting when hashes are used in cryptographic protocols and large amounts of data can be captured, seen and analyzed. I can't think of a purpose wh…

Linux has good enough binary compatibility. I have seen 32-bit applications built on RHEL 2.1 run on RHEL 5. You need the correct libraries and versions, but that's not a difficult…

I would expect xargs to stop processing arguments strictly after the first non-flag argument. Arguments to xargs do appear to be parsed, example below: http://explainshell.com/expl…
