Well, most of the people who created the internet have never worked for a FAANG company, so ... no?
R&D includes both "creating new battery recycling capabilities from scratch" and "redesigning the the rear brake lights to be a deeper shade of red to match the recent coloring trends". Only one of these has long term…
I think that the most important goal of our profession is to find and implement high-level concepts so that our users don't need to worry about tiny details. As an example: when I buy a back-up hard drive from a typical…
I hate the Hole Hawg story with a passion. Firstly, because it's wrong: the story say things like "it's a cube of metal" and "the handle is not ergonomic". But look at pictures from the maker. It's not a cube, and the…
There was a version created for the S60 (Nokia) platform!
From the Judge: releasing the logs may help clarify whether fraudulent activity interfered with the comment period, as well as whether the agency’s decision-making process is “vulnerable to corruption." My take: I was…
Why would the tax people care at all? They are more likely to take your salary from the two jobs, add them up, and charge taxes on the results. Where I work, a side job is legit (with the obvious caveats, of course!)
We have anecdotal evidence that one hiring manager says that they care about honesty. The same person hasn't said that they have actually had this situation happen, so it's still hypothetical. OTOH, there's also tons of…

AFAICT, most of them allow split tunnels for work VPN -- most work VPNs are set up to allow access to corporate resources, not block normal usage. Some places have very high security requirements.
Hey, I get to tell m y own two 1990's era threads story. First: in Windows 3.1, you got exactly one thread. My former company (BBN Software Products, home of the RS/1 statistical program) managed to get a version of…
No, but I know the team and will happily forward the feedback to them.
For a similar take on the problems, but with some different solutions, take a look at the UWP [StreamSocket](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/uwp/api/windows.networking....) (etc) classes. Specifically, StreamSocket…
Good to know your threshold for major fuck-ups is 20%. Would you accept a grocery store that overcharges you 20% of the time? Would you accept a car that doesn't start 20% of the time? A reasonable process would do a…
Did they really? My recollection is that they had a slow and inefficient pipeline that would never be able to handle the speed that Amazon fills order at.
How about proof of citizenship for the right to a free press? Should we require a passport to get into church? Do only citizens get to walk into a post office? Do I need to show someone an ID before I send a letter to…
I just read the executive order. For a programmer, I think I'm pretty good at reading government-ese, but wow! given the words in the order, I'm not quite sure how that translates into Adobe not being able to offer…
The VCs that were funding the startup I worked for got spooked and demanded an immediate reduction in force; I was one of the programmers that got hit. The market the company was in didn't shrink, and they kept on…
Essentially, all your numbers are subtly wrong and all of their wrongness is making the final number look much larger. You have to adjust for inflation, including 'weird' inflation. You have to account to suddenly…
Yes, and note that the tax is .5% -- that's more of a pittance than a serious boundary.
IMHO, it's red-state spite.
Missing from the story: Virginia was one of the "red" states that didn't expand Medicaid to the lower to middle class. This has two follow-on effects: a bunch of people didn't have insurance, and the federal government…
Weirdly, when I pop the data into a linear regression program, it pretty clearly shows an upward trend. Additionally, the article preferred (strongly) to point to non-peer reviewed articles and not actual data.
Unless my math is wrong, that's about 70 people. They all probably already know each other.
Weirdly, the article didn't notice the very strong correlation between "states that didn't accept the Medicaid expansion" and "places with under-payed rural hospitals". This seems like an absolutely elementary analysis…
