chatgpt just refused to tell me the first verse from a poem when I asked it by telling it the second verse and to remind me the first one, it complained about not being able to violate copyright laws! poetry by a dead…
This team does not report to me, I will ensure their demise and make sure their work is never adapted by anyone within my sphere of control. It is easy to justify such behavior behind snazzy terms but I have seen this…
Oh this is great, any ideas on how to do this for Samsung and LG televisions?
I have wanted to hold back from answering comments that ask for proof of real work/productivity gains because everyone works differently, has different skill levels and frankly not everyone is working on world changing…
I am good at software. It turns out that isn’t sufficient, or alternatively stated, you have to be good at a number of other things than just churning code, even good code. So to me, the combination of being good at…
I like it, a test so bad, it just might work! I think the trick is not the equal sign, trick is to keep it so simple and small that most qualified people will not try to short circuit it.

Tax schemes are there to save taxes using legalism loopholes, these places are happy to pay the taxes on "cash" purchases to bank the proceeds. Nobody is buying 50K rugs is correct, most of the transactions are self…
This is not really Veblen situation. A lot of these are primarily money laundering outfits, the artificially high prices, are simply a means of converting cash into bank deposits. Similar schemes exist in art,…
I interviewed at yahoo during the tenure of Marissa Meyer and decided not to join after noticing a strange lack of diversity in my interviewers (I saw a similar lack of diversity at Apple Pay much more recently),…
They were trained in a large and not insignificant part on reddit content. You only need to look at the kind of advice reddit gives for any kind of relationship questions to know this is asking for trouble.
I am a software engineer in his 50s, with stints in big tech, big bank and fintech with domain expertise in payments, risk, performance engineering, and data. In addition I have led global teams of hundreds of engineers…
Don't forget high speed committed writes to append only tables (the opposite of scans), postgres approach is better here as well.
I am seeing this in my community as well, it has become nearly impossible for early career folks to find opportunities and it is due to a number of factors. In addition to economy, the fast ramp up of hiring in covid…
One of the interesting ones we encountered was in the JDBC driver of our chosen database at the time. Under load, the application core dumped. Mind you this is java, running a native jdbc driver, no JNI in sight. It…
This is similar to an approach I use but instead of a queue, I accomplish this using a ring buffer that wraps around and overwrites entries older than window size. We maintain a global window aggregate, subtract ring…
I am in phoenix, it is summer right now so things are double dead but even in fall to spring months, I have tried to find tech meetups (my interests are c++, c99, java, distributed systems, data engineering and non…

Have you been around lately? There is a safeway on rural road (basically scottsdale rd in tempe).
Agree with bokeh: This was taken with a Leica m9 using f0.95 50mm noctilux lens: https://cimg5.ibsrv.net/gimg/rennlist.com-vbulletin/2000x133...
Oh yeah, that is what you get when you submit your diagrams and invention specifications and API to a team of lawyers :) If you search the word click, it takes you to meat and potatoes but very well said. I was quite…
Because I am excited that this idea got turned into a viable product. And what is wrong with sharing the excitement with my fellow nerds including the fact that I had this idea first? It is all about execution and kudos…
I believe I patented this in 2016: https://patents.justia.com/patent/10664883
A long time ago when I lived in Pakistan, the local franchise holder for Federal Express processed and handled visa applications to United States. The final interview if needed was still conducted by Consulate employees…
Some of these lenses are quite amazing. My favorite lens from this class is the leica noctilux at f0.95. It is tac sharp even at f0.95 (if you can nail the focus) and the images make even an amateur like me look like a…
