Typical zero substance self-help opinion piece masquerading as something better. Complete waste of time.
Thse are all not only solved problems, but solved extremely well. Rust is a bad solution to this problem. You should be using dynasm https://luajit.org/dynasm.html instead of plain C.
Not very wise to export your (assumed) copyright-infringing activity over to a third party that has complete records of who you are. Folks have been sued for less.
It's called "commoditization". Since programming is now a commodity, the barrier to entry had to be lowered in order to pump up the numbers. Growth at all costs! There is still rock-solid engineering to be found,…
His web3 skepticism did not stop him from getting involved with "MobileCoin" some time ago, or was that conveniently forgotten? https://www.wired.com/story/mobilecoin-cryptocurrency/
I don't see how this is in any way competitive with the current options. It would't be competitive at sub-$500 pricing, nevermind $2000+. And then there's the platform bit which is the final nail on the coffin. Let's…
Start with: Varela / Maturana - The Tree of Knowledge Miller - Living Systems Prepare to have your mind blown apart.
alias .. but exa is not backwards compatible with ls OOPS Which is why I stick with ls (and grep instead of rg and coreutils instead of shiny rust equivalent), I can't deal with the cognitive dissonance that arises from…
"I've never read anything that wasn't a bad regurgitation of ideas better presented elsewhere from this guy, and I have to wonder why he has amassed such a following." I wrote this 2 months ago, my opinion hasn't…
Having lived in SF for more than a decade, I couldn't agree more. When I left, years ago, the guilt syndrome was so prevalent among well-compensated young tech workers that one could talk about mass-psychosis. I'm told…
> that have basis on European ways of handling these sort of issues I suggest you try shoplifting in any European country and see what happens.
The world doesn't run on "well-meaning" but realpolitik (look it up). The sort of discriminatory policies you espouse besides being corrosive poison to the unifying forces that create a nation state, fail to account for…
No thanks, I'll stick with GnuPG.

You can keep rearranging words around trying to make reality fit your expectations, but I'd say this isn't a useful modeling strategy for going about life. This is what you're missing.
I guess that's how they make money and can afford great customer service, which is also something I'm fine with: I couldn't care less what their interest rate is since I'll never ever pay interest. If that's on the…
What you wrote makes me view the Guardian take suspiciously rather than the OP and also fails to address in any way the argument since you -conveniently- ignore all but a tiny fraction that you found a Guardian opinion…
I left SF and California years ago and started voting Republican at about the same time. The trigger was me reserving judgment and simply observing how the environment around me changed for the worst, while at the same…
Relying on libraries written in C is not an issue if the library doesn't make assumptions about / isn't tied to, a particular architecture. Some do but most (especially newer codebases written to C11 and beyond) don't.
I guess you found out you can't rely on Capital One. Never had a problem with AMEX.
Every engineering-driven fintech company I know of (having myself worked there or having friends who work there) is doubling down on every single one of the processes I mentioned.
I worked at engineers-call-the-shots fintech and later SV shops for many years. No, their in-house code is not worse than open-source. In fact one can safely say that top companies that attract top talent also have…
Reviewing code is the elephant in the room. Filosotile -perhaps out of ignorance or disconnect- fails to mention that the vast majority of open source projects (log4j being a great recent example) are absolute shit.…
Engineering is not about whether someone "can code", but whether someone can _engineer solutions to problems_. Has this person demonstrated that through the projects he chooses to put on display (and advertise as signal…
Your post ought to be ample proof that subjective opinions (like the one you display here) are not solid grounds for hiring decisions. When looking at this person's Github page, I -unlike you- see a vast number of…
