Someone with the title CTO certainly knows what a code review is. Or perhaps CTO/lead/only programmer are all one guy.

If he's a former facebook engineer and doesn't know how to write, verify, test and deploy quality code, no wonder he's former.

Typically, a repair shop that finds vaguely illegal info on a laptop will turn it over to the FBI or local law enforcement, then a couple months later also give a copy of the data to Rudy Guilliani. Right? Is that standard operating procedure? As an IT professional myself, I must have been in the bathroom when that second part was covered in my ethics class.

This pro-Trump doofus, conveniently in Biden's home state, will eventually be exposed as a patsy for a Russia-based misinformation campaign. He's had several different stories on whether he contacted the FBI first or they contacted him, what he saw in the data, at one point claiming that he didn't peruse it at all. He's not a good liar.

This dope is getting what he deserves, maximum public embarrassment. Ironically, I kind of agree with him that he's no hacker, he obviously has no skill at what he does. Maybe news outlets should just 's/hacker/s***head/g'.

... except that the NSA is constantly badgering US tech companies to put backdoors into all their encryption and security safeguards, which would, in fact, make it easy for others to spy (in addition to the NSA.)

The NSA is jealous that China has a relationship with their tech industry that the NSA wants with US tech companies, but haven't yet been able to finagle.

... that this is coming from an LLC.

No tech billionaires, not @Jackoff, Gates, Benioff, just give things away for free. These are investments and people shouldn't be all 'Jack is no longer an asshole', because believe me, he is.

Why are we not more concerned about _that_?

There is never a scenario when a tech bro gives something away and wants nothing in return. I'd check the provenance of that private entity that maintains the cameras, especially any privacy policy they may have.

Really. Seems like they would be better off just saying someone stole it.

Like buy things on Etsy ...

This exercise is leaning heavily on the 'artificial' and not much on the 'intelligence'. At some point the idea of data mining was rebranded 'AI'. There's nothing intelligent about this.

If a toddler tries to eat a bee, you better believe it's never going to try that again, and won't ever try to eat anything else insect-like. And you don't even have to show it thousands of pictures of insects so it 'learns' what they are. It's inherent in intelligence, which this rover does not have. Nor does anything else, for that matter.

Since retiring from Microsoft, Bill Gates' fortune has doubled in size from ~50 billion to ~100 billion. Make no mistake, his foundation is an investment vehicle, not a charitable one.

Lemme educate you, son.

The 80 column limit is by no means arbitrary, or a mistake. Back before you were born, in the dark ages before RGB, terminals had 80 columns, thus coding style locked into that column width. For a long time, word wrap wasn't even a thing. (some coding languages and shells to this day use a backslash to denote a continued line, that's why.)

Eighty columns is legacy, maybe even tradition, for sure, but not at all arbitrary. (I don't have space/time/desire to explain 'why 80', but the info is out there if you seek it.)

If you're still programming in a terminal then you're a weirdo, but the limit is no more arbitrary than other standards, current or outmoded, like 24 fps standard for filmed motion pictures, 4:3 ratio of broadcast TV, or the number of scanlines on a 4k display. All of this stuff is at the intersection of technological limitations, standardization and budget at the time these things were originally being worked out.

... when they started accepting Pacman high scores/times where Pacman passes through a ghost. Claimed that's not a bug or malfunction. They don't even know _how_ to validate a high score.

Not a huge Billy fan but people of a certain age will always regard his exploits as legendary.

40% sound like a big jump but last week the stock was hovering around four bucks. At this point investors are just trying to assuage the losses that have been compounding over the last couple years.

GitLab had their Web IDE two years ago. And here we thought Microsoft was turning a new leaf with buying Github, but it's the same old story. Copying others and taking credit as if this is some sort of innovation.

The union was only a couple months old and hadn't even gotten to a CBA yet. I hope they take a deeper dive and publish some info on how those negotiations went. How did they convince Kickstarter it was the right thing to do? I mean, they were being laid off, which would insinuate they needed to cut operational costs.

I'm probably jaded by working my entire career in California, an 'at will' state where you can be terminated at any time for pretty much any non-discriminatory reason, which they don't even have to disclose.

An opportunist that will be caught because she's clearly a dumdum.
