Re:SDKs: A Loophole That Turns Your Apps into Spies on Tuesday September 24, 2019 @06:43PM (#21065432)
I don’t think making “SDK” a bad word is a good idea.

I get that maybe they are trying to simplify things for non-software people, but this seems a poor attempt.

Re:DIB Guide: Detecting Agile BS (2018) [pdf] on Tuesday January 15, 2019 @12:25PM (#18912885)
This seems to be a root document with more links:

After having worked on government contracts for many, many years - this is an amazing leap forward - I had to do some googling. DIB is the Defense Innovation Board (https://innovation.defense.gov/) which consists of some big names (Neil Degrasse Tyson, Eric Schmidt, Reid Hoffman, Marne Levine, among others).

Re:Show HN: My Isometric GPU-Powered Voxel Engine on Tuesday September 10, 2013 @07:55AM (#6359448)
Great work, wonderful to see voxel engines becoming more popular and feasible. Also check out http://procworld.blogspot.ca/ great technical write-ups on the engine chosen by Sony for EQ2.
My grandfather took the time to teach me some BASIC back when I was around 7 years old, and it led to my career. I've been working at teaching programming to my kids as well, but the video here inspired me to give the same chance to other kids...

I contacted the principal at my kids elementary school and offered to use my expertise to help any way I could. We get so caught up in what we're doing, it's easy to forget that just a small bit of effort can have a significant impact on peoples lives.

Re:Unpacking my knapsack: the privileges of a Hispanic male in tech on Wednesday February 06, 2013 @09:12AM (#5176400)
Great story. Even though I love the island, especially if/when you have kids, get out of there. It's sad that rather than advise an intelligent, motivated, hard working individual to stay and make the place better I'd advice them to get out, but I just don't see the problems getting better. There is something broken about the current culture in Puerto Rico. I'm glad I'm raising my kids on the mainland, they are learning the culture and language but in an environment where I don't have to look over my shoulder at all times. There are plenty of bad places here too, but it's much easier to get away from them here than there.

As much as it saddens me, I haven't met anyone who has left and hasn't found a better/safer opportunity here. We're lucky we don't need to worry about citizenship...

Mano y si necesitas ayuda me avisas, yo soy Cagueño también! 3 in one hn thread! Ship me some alcapurrias ;)
