Sort of, but if the software engineer had never had access to CS material and worked in a company where practices were based in CS so they naturally picked it up. These are village…

Yes life is cheap there, people get sick, injured and die for preventable reasons all the time. Life expectancy is 10 - 15 years less than in developed countries as a result. The w…

It’s Indonesia, engineer doesn’t really mean what we think in the west. It’s more that someone is passionate about something, not that they have a civil engineering degree and are …

I’ve been told by Indonesians their style is to dive head first into the water, then check for rocks. Yes safety is a big issue there and causes a huge amount of needless suffering…

They look nice, but I can’t help question how safe they really are, they’re more like giant baskets woven together by artists as opposed to calcuated engineering by engineers.

This was a pain for me too, despite having nearly 60 employees they were all new to the problem domain which left me and my co-founder still wearing way too many hats.

We need a new type of object that isn’t just a clever pattern that can be reused but understands how to adapt to the program it’s in, a smart object. I was hoping that’s what this …

This issue isn’t about economics of course, but what I don’t quite understand is why the right feels like it’s an injustice to change the playing field, like it’s cutting in line, …

This may not be part of the spec per se but you can invalidate them by distributing a bloom filter with revoked tokens and validation times, services just need to poll the service …

What’s it like to program for it? Do you need to manage the distribution and utilization per node your self like a normal HPC farm? Or is it more like a single computer like a Cray…

I feel like services like Primephonic and Idago feel more like I’m offline in a classical music library, no flashy graphics and random pop songs with similar names don’t get return…

That makes sense, I think I still think of an object reaching space as it can then stay there, vs just a peekaboo. :)

Cool project, but I always find it amusing when the word “suborbital” is used since it’s sort of a fancy way to say normal or not space. Reminds me this Feynman story: > Or his que…

I like NYT’s articles, but have been hesitant to actually subscribe due to issues like this, and other stories where they make it hard to unsubscribe, require you call them etc.

Wow, he’s selling the cheats for nearly $300, that’s not exactly a kid with a lemonade stand.

They used to not even offer a demo, and on the phone they were pretty glib about paying for a year to try it out. The fatal flaw was that since it’s not part of an HRMS system it’s…

I found whipping through the grammatical logic trees in German, and exceptions, were like the grammatical equivalent of composing a Fuge, or writing a Lisp function on the spot. Ev…

Not a day goes by when I don’t encounter a major bug in some software in the most common workflow e.g. iPhone unlock screen fails to show up, payment of a Kaiser bill fails and say…

I feel like we need the Second Software Crisis movement to address the bug riddled software were still making, it’s as though we’re just acclimated to bugs everywhere as being expe…
