News for hackers. Stuff that matters.

Kids who are smart and curious have already been exposed to the internet since they were 8/9 years old. So a few years of learning they're already knowledgeable by the time they're in their teens.

No responsibilities and all the time in the world to learn with the right circumstances, they can go far.

Older devs who are experts in this area are already busy making money and working on their employer's security.

They allow a 3rd party to change Kernel stuff with an update. Apple banned this a while ago.
Hilarious. Rogers runs the internet and phone lines so when it went down, the devs couldn't:

1) Remote into the boxes to see what's happening.

2) Talk to other devs because their phones are on Rogers network.

My stress couldn't.

Re:Microsoft shelves its underwater data center on Monday June 24, 2024 @09:51AM (#40776066)
With an improvement of 87.5% to reliability compared to land-based data centers.

I wonder what factors led them to discontinue the project.

Can you do a column and normalize them?

Too many zeroes for my blind ass making it hard to compare.

Didn't know these were called Arenas, this technique is prevalent in game development.
How would you do it?

Re:EA: The Human Story (2004) on Friday July 15, 2022 @12:55PM (#32110194)
I left last year after working there for ~8 years.

It's night and day; EA when I left was a great place to work at. Work life balance was a priority, a lot of communication from execs, coworkers were great.

My only gripe with them is the revolving door of contractors, QA and devs alike.

Re:Do kwon sent $80M a month to secret wallets? on Thursday June 09, 2022 @06:50PM (#31687954)
It seems like his actions of secretly sending money triggered money laundering suspicions from the SEC.

But yea, this is fraud/embezzlement/wire fraud.

Re:Do kwon sent $80M a month to secret wallets? on Thursday June 09, 2022 @04:08PM (#31686127)
Can someone explain why this is money laundering? Trying to understand what laws he's breaking.

I wanted pictures of the oysters but instead I got pictures of a guy staring at my soul.
EA needs this. Spent a decade there and have seen many QA testers treated like shit. Low pay and no future.

Re:Steve Jobs tried to convince Dell to license Mac software on Thursday October 07, 2021 @02:43PM (#28790501)
Michael Dell went on John Calacanis' podcast last week too, discussing the book. It was a pretty good listen.

Jobs wanted a cut on every PC sold if the deal went through. That was too much for Dell since they were selling so much PCs already, so it fell through.

Re:How Discord Stores Billions of Messages (2017) on Tuesday August 24, 2021 @02:40PM (#28293068)
Well it solved a lot of pain points with the target market.

I remember my friends and I kept bickering who would pay for this month's bill for the vent/mumble servers. That kept on for years until I had enough and hosted my own in a droplet in digital ocean. None of my friends knew how to do that since they're not very technical.

Discord you just had to click a couple buttons and its free.

Re:Bitcoin is failing at becoming the future of money on Thursday May 20, 2021 @01:32PM (#27224264)
It was getting there.

I remember Bitcoin was getting a wider adoption for payment back in 2013ish. I paid for my domain from namecheap in Bitcoin back then.

But it then blew up and everyone treated it more as a store of value and it made all the shops stop accepting it as payment due to its volatility.
