wasn't going to reply but you called out Accenture.

I work at the Government Contracting arm of Accenture called Accenture Federal and it is by far the best place I've ever worked ( I worked in submarines for a decade so probably nowhere to go but up from there). It ranks highly in those marketing pieces "best places to work" if you're into that sort of thing.

anyway, I highly recommend Accenture Federal. Great projects, benefits, and WLB

For me, a few hundred meters is difficult to comceptualize. I can search a football arena and notice the people around/inside it and get a better feel for the story than if just presented in meters

one I know of is https://www.wallstreetoasis.com/

Mostly people asking how to break into the various parts of the financial industry

would it be possible to have a "treadmill" at supercharger/ gas stations to simulate this experiment?

While establishing a "cause & effect" here seems very hard, from my personal experience working in software field in Japan, I think the winning concept here is actually the combination of removing middleman and paying good salaries. Japan is very very behind in IT/digitalization compared to most western countries. This doesn't just mean it's behind in product portfolio and quality, but that perception of software engineer & managers and still quite behind. The respect that a lot of software engineers enjoys in US/EU is not quite there yet in Japan(and salary often reflect this).

The C-suite usually doesn't have a firm understanding of software/IT world, and instead ends-up hiring a lot of "Scrum-experts/Agile coaches" and hires software engineers from consultancy or recruitment companies for cheap. There's ofc companies that doesn't fall in this category, but for middle-sized companies in Japan (which is the bulk of the economy), this is the true state of things. Middle-men in Japan have therefore been way more encroaching on this, and they have the incentive to not improve the respect/social standing the software engineers have.

"Removing managers" in this article does not mean the same thing as it would in US/EU, conditions are different.

Has there been any discussion on "nations" on mars? I just always assumed Mars would have colonies like ISS spread around.

I wonder if anyone is planning on marking territory

at a submarine watchfloor (the 'shore side' of submarine communications) we had a wild schedule: 5am to 5pm for two days, then 5pm to 5am for the next two days. Four days off after that, but then the cycle continues. I can't count the number of times I woke up several hundred yards from where I last was conscious - freeways, intersections, etc. Most of my coworkers had this issue as well. we finally convinced the command to go to a more normal policy, but this took decades.

Its out. WMX-100M4s and a tidal/ deezer/ nugs subscription are all you need.

Its too bad that Sony - among others - have been doing their own interpretation of this for a long time, but don:t have the marketing budget or presence of mind in the broader market for people to notice. The Apple machine (i use an iPhone and M1 mini - love them) is just so OP

the m1 mini I'm using is quite nice. not perfect, but more than adequate for personal computing and media creation

i feel like it would only need to give long pieces...

not much experience in this space: who would use this patent? I see Samsung and Intel as partners; do they simply use IBMs research with their own manufacturing to produce this?

Also curious if this development will affect apple silicon or TSMCs bottom line in the near future

agreed. do things the apple way and you'll have a lot fewer problems.

On iOS I have accessibility functionality mapped to triple-clicking the lock button. I’m using a function called ‘smart invert’. I’m sure there’s something equivalent on Android.

How can you browse a site called ‘hacker news’ and have no ability to ‘hack’ your way out of a simple problem? /s haha

God I am happy to not be in an in industry anywhere near Apple’s core competencies. I am a Sony apologist but the ecosystem apple is building around my life - and my home - is almost too convenient to not give into

i believe that already is being tested in some markets with heir instagram platform.

Gawker/Kinja - and specifically Jalopnik.com - seemed to have figured out how to build community in the comments. They simply have the author review them in batch form before they make it to the public.

Not glorifying crime, but one of the best parts of the video game warez scene (for me) was the artwork that accompanied each release.

On later systems like the Nintendo Gamebot Advance you would often find a little demoscene preview before the game booted up. Amazing what you can code in just a few kilobytes of space

I use coinbase as it was the easiest and least sketchy way to buy a couple of years ago. I feel though that a lot of the big gains for a particular coin are made before coinbase authorizes that coin for trade on their platform. Can anyone provide some insight/ ELI5 as to why the coin selection is curated vs a free for all?

Nothing to measure it with but i never think about the lag when i do it over hotel wifi

I wonder if it’s partly due to the US being able to afford alternatives, wether they are cost effective or not.

For many installments, the Huawei option is just cheaper.

Keep in mind China does the same for US technology companies.

Is there a way around the issues that cause service interruption? I was using self-hosted until my ISP proved itself to be unreliable, and moved to notion hoping that another host would have an easier time. Same issues - i need to update my CRM and am basically locked out of it until notion figures out the outage problem. is there another similar project that is al little more fault tolerant?

I've been a US submarine service member for 11 years, and these posts are always interesting. Not interesting as worth a read (for me), but that other people find my daily life interesting.

I guess because I live this life everyday and see every aspect of it, the cool shiny parts blend in with the daily drudgery

I think the problem is when someone isn't able to decide what's best for their computer - and then decides to blame the vendor.

The vendor has already distributed the software with the QA done as thoroughly as possible/ practical, issued a TOS denying a warranty or any sort of protection from failure - that we all agreed to - and yet the litigation is inevitable if something happens to the end-user on account of a vulnerability in the software.

Its not their computer, but in our litigation-happy cultural climate, its their responsibility. No one is preventing us from doing what we want with our computers with this flash issue - just reducing liability.

Agreed on iOS autocomplete. I recently shut it off - unaware i could simply reset it.

I'm a little ashamed to admit this, but the feather on the camel's back was a word I commonly use autocorrecting to 'ducking'. Infuriating. I remember listing to a podcast with Ken Kocienda - former iOS engineer who wrote the original iPhone keyboard with the dictionary; it was intentional.

FWIW, Crazy Taxi and Vanishing point were not created with Windows CE

dislike because of: Any sort of synching to my PC is made as difficult as possible, i imagine so that I will feel the need to break down and buy a mac.

I would switch to android if imessage was cross platform. have seriously considered using mac stadium to use message forwarding in order to keep the damn blue bubbles.
