flamesofphx··on Who Uses To-Do Lists?
I find them to be magic little time capsules, for when I write them and then find them six months to a year latter, they let me know what I have not gotten done yet...
flamesofphx··on Ask HN: Has Gmail spam blocking taken a sudden nosedive?
I have been getting a lot of legit email going to spam, and a lot of what appears to be obvious spam coming to my inbox... In the last week or so.. I though I was going crazy, but apparently my meds are still working
flamesofphx··on What “legacy” software are you still forced to use that you wish would die?
JAVA
flamesofphx··on Ask HN: Are there any good “coding for kids” books?
You can call me old school, but you can teach some basic to kids (Print statements, basic syntax), however, I would not start teaching concepts even like loops, or algorithms, until the child has basic grasp of algebra. In this case the math helps but it's not the math, but to ensure the child has organization, and ordering skills.

Of course a book about good or planning/organizing I think might make a great starter for a kid you want to become a good programmer. I have seen some a few already burn out (Even in childhood, often it's an adult pressure getting these kids into coding) however, without the organizational skills learned first, when things get even a little complex, the kids buried or set back by the lack of some formal reasoning or lack of organizational skill.

flamesofphx··on Ask HN: Are Cybersecurity Workers Ok?
I gave up on continuing into cybersecurity, after just first experiences several years ago, I keep up with people though (Out of the 15 I knew 4 have quit, one even going to do construction work, 2 commited suicide). I now consider it the IT janitorial department basically with the budget and control the department gets the only thing you get to do is fling feces on the wall (An analogy for the reports for things that need fix but never get down because (Pick ONE)):

1. Not Budgeted for.. 2. To Much Down time (Excuse on systems even, that are fully load balanced).. 3.. WHHHHHHNNN But we need that legacy system (Which is real, because if it goes down the whole network does)... 4. This doesn't sound critical, let's bring this up next year. 5. Because I (Non-techy boss man) said we're not going to do it. As a matter of fact I am going to sue: HIPPPA, OR PCI, OR Some Reg agency for governmental overreach of a proper business.

flamesofphx··on Ask HN: Outdoors career options for ex-engineers?
The only thing I can think right off the bat is painting (It's labor intensive but not as much as carpentry and concrete).

Do you know anything about city codes and stuff, most city right now are looking for inspectors, You would be going places in your city usually, even though you go out to people who already see you as a detriment, I can tell you from first hand experience in working with construction, you will get less shit than working a help desk though, most of the city planning/zoning are so desperate too there willing to train (At least in the US Southwest, Good Pay too)...

flamesofphx··on Ask HN: Is there a dedicated programming language for business logic?
Mysql and Php!!

flamesofphx··on Don’t Cheat on Interviews. It’s Obvious When You Do
Anyone ask an algorithm question, I am just going to suggest using quantum bogo sort for everything.. Let the damn program run till the heat death of the universe. Then interrupt them during the next question, and try to find out how bad there backend really is..
