I made this mistake. I love where I've wound up, but I would have gotten there much more quickly and with a lot less heartache if I'd worked as part of an existing company before starting my own.
It is! If you also need service, Google Fi has had a promotion for a while that gives you the $500 purchase price back over 24 monthly bills. In fact, they also have a promotion right now where you can get $800 back on…
There are three "example programs" available on your website, but none of them are very interesting. I'd love to see better examples of subtle problems that your tool can detect: the kind of thing where an engineer says…
You can absolutely ignore it, even without switching inputs; it appears above the menu/input bar at the bottom and isn't modal. However, it reappears every time the TV is turned on. At some point, a houseguest (assuming…
_Can_ you reject Samsung's EULA? My Q90T prompts me to accept it every time it's turned on, but the only option appears to be to accept it. I can't find a "no/reject" option. I do what you suggest in step (3), and never…
Also, if you need to interact with a Supermicro BMC that doesn't support the HTML5 console (for example, because it's running older firmware), I reverse-engineered the proprietary "iKVM" protocol (along with a lot of…
I haven't seen anyone mention that Docker Hub's automatic build integration requires either "Owner"-level permissions on your organization or "Admin"-level permissions on the individual repository. Based on the…
Out of curiosity, what do you do that you get to do that? Sounds fascinating---I've had lots of fun with dtrace (and, more recently, bcc).
There may be nice things to say about Veritas, but they charge an extra $99 for VCF files, and the actual raw data (FASTQ/BAM) is not available at any price (to you; Veritas has it). This is after you've paid $1,000 for…
That's not because it's slower; that's because it's the low-end (non-programmable) member of its family. It was designed by a company called Fulcrum, which produced the FocalPoint FM2000/FM3000/FM4000 (1/10G) and…
A nice overview; thanks for sharing it! I don't think that your claim that GRO is "a software implementation of a hardware optimization that is known as Large Receive Offloading (LRO)" is correct, though. GRO…
This is actually not the whole story. WinZip archives can be encrypted like you describe, but they can also be created with both the data and the list of contents encrypted.
Have you heard of Device Tree? Linux supports it on the x86, ARM, and PPC architectures, among others. (http://events.linuxfoundation.org/sites/events/files/slides/..., http://www.devicetree.org/Main_Page,…
Linode's is the same. I agree that it's annoying and that the terminology is slightly deceptive. Any of these "datacenter LANs", though, tend to be fast and free (in terms of bandwidth). We just use a VPN overlay and…
I haven't had a chance to play with it, but I ran across this project the other day: https://github.com/cloudius-systems/osv "OSv was designed from the ground up to execute a single application on top of a hypervisor...…
It seemed like an aside, but the issue of being at the mercy of the people who provide platforms and other foundational technology really resonates with me. ("Building on top of a platform is a foundational risk, and if…
I'd be curious to hear more about what they're actually doing (technically speaking). Is this a wrapper around kd-trees, R-trees, and their friends and relatives? Is it something fancier?
I'd love to chat, but you don't list a contact email and don't seem to be particularly Googleable. Shame!
That's a bug, not a feature. I leave my phone on vibrate all the time, and when I had an iPhone, the hardware switch would cause it to constantly go back to ringing as I took it in and out of my pocket.
I've been using the wonderful cli53 (available on GitHub here: https://github.com/barnybug/cli53). All I have to type is "cli53 import example.com --file example.bind --replace --wait" and it'll replace all of the…
I spent about a year working at a non-quant hedge fund out of NYC, and I saw people in similar-sounding situations making $100-125k base, plus another 20-50% in year-end comp ("bonuses"). Recruitment bonuses (or…
There are a number of points I'd like to disagree with, but to start: - $150,000 is much less than a top-flight engineer like the one you're describing might make; it's not out of the realm of possibility for what an…
I'd suggest 2x24", which you can do for ~$180/each straight off of Newegg or ~$140-150 if you wait for a sale. I recently had pretty much the same debate about upgrading my pair of 24" monitors, and wound up moving to…
This is neat, but not new; check out Talking Lights, for example (http://www.talking-lights.com/) --- they were an MIT professor's startup and went out of business a few years ago. There are also some cool indoor…
I'd kill for someone to work on a modernized/reimagined emacs. There's so much that's beautiful about The One True Editor, but many things take an obnoxious amount of research/config-poking to make acceptable.
