Oh god, it makes sense now. Palinteer is partnering with ring for footing and will be acquired by Sauron.
Pulled out good ol' wireshark. It's the server that's erroring on the TLS handshake.
Thanks, yeah I misread the GUI. This is awesome!
Here's an interesting one, if the equipment is sensitive enough you could test if you can see the difference in air densities as a .22 caliber bullet passes by.
I've got nothing for this but I am morbidly curious.
We should have a wealth tax that is distributed to everyone, instead of taxing consumption. It's the most progressive tax possible, only taxing those with actual excess. It would work in an AI world, easing into everyone having the same amount of power instead of creating AI powered Oligarchs.
Taking a networking class, I'm still amazed that CS programs don't require it at this point.
Dollars to donuts, you cannot have a high velocity distributed system with dozens of developers without comprehensive docs and long term plans. This article is straight up bad.
This is a principle that can be applied outside of this question, but is applicable here. Many non-engineers view software as an asset, *it is not*. Every line of code is a liability, so minimizing the size of a codebase and limiting the complexity of distributed systems (If posible avoid DS's) is key for good reliable software.
If the code needs to be fast (written in a systems language like C, C++, or Rust) write it in Rust. It will limit the amount your can shoot your foot both at the compilation stage and while writing the code (You have to think about what you're doing to avoid the compiler yelling at you. Otherwise, for the love of god write your project in a simple garbage collected language. Not having to handle memory directly removes a lot of what can go wrong.
This article was written for non-technical folks unfortunately. I read the phrase below and nearly puked from the corpo speech.

How long until we see @eastdakota here :D.
Agreed, but the problem is a lot of companies don't ask questions that screen for people who can build longer term systems that are extendable.
I guess what I'm stabbing at is that the FAANG interviews I've done and my friends who work there operate with that mindset. You do need to ask questions to answer the problem in those interviews but they heavily rely on interviewee's code.

Now that llm's are starting to get pretty good how has your company's adapted to the new environment. It's no longer good enough to see if someone's good a programing, instead we need to screen if someone is good at engineering. In my experience Software Engineering is starting to mature like other forms of engineering. Mechanical Engineers don't mill out their parts (Well they should at least...
Help out others like they helped you and spend time with them. Every teacher and mentor I've ever had always enjoyed seeing the fruits of their labor. Just grab a lunch or a coffee with them and catch up.

Howdy y'all,I'm about 5 years into my journey as a software engineer. As I've become more senior, I've taken on more responsibilities (Shocker, I know). I am currently spec'ing out a new set of servers for a new service we're spinning up and I was wondering what resources people had for both technical writing and career advancement for a green senior engineer.
I'm thinking it's going to be an experiment with how I can get away with before they actively try to get rid of me. Basically, how much schlong swinging can I get away with.
Yeah, it's more of a decision on how fast do I want to leave. Leaving fast nets me a new job, staying nets me security until we go down. Basically, we just hit the iceberg and I'm that engineer that's going welp she's going down.
> In essence, you and others see the impending crash - others do not?
The CTO left and several of the top talent have already left. Leadership and HR knows its a doom spiral right now, but the normal business folks have no clue what's about to hit them
> or he might want to hand you an anchor to help you swim
Unfortunately they're that person.
> You are not alone, various startups have failed over the years - small/large. Their histories are probably archived in HN and will offer insights/connections. Good Luck.!!
Thank you very much.
Thanks! It's good to hear that.
Thanks! Yeah I thought that'd be the advice. I'm worried work load is about to increase to a point where I can't stay on top of interview prep.

Basically our CTO just left and engineers are leaving left and right. The startup is going down in flames and no one on the business side has realized it. Do I ride the ship down knowing that they cannot afford to lose me and take the 6-12 months of being employed until private equity buys the remains, or do I leave now?
I know about that, part of the question is figuring out what nations have easier visa requirements.
Is the visa process easy for those two?
