You make some great points. The arbitrary entitlement is an important and vital step in the growth of an organization. Not every basketball fan should play or work for a NBA team. There has to be some sort of gatekeeping otherwise a bad hire or misplaced promotion could become a cancer that kills from within.
Thank you for the fast response and, also, for putting this onto my radar. For anyone else who is curious, Yocto/OpenEmbedded is used to create custom linux distributions for embedded devices:
Does remarkable use a fork of ChromiumOS? ChromiumOS uses the BOOT-A and BOOT-B partitions for upgrades and it reverts to the previously used boot partition if the OS fails to successfully boot[0].
Great explanation...
For anyone interested, the following jupyter notebook explains three different ways to process HTTP requests: serial requests (the baseline), pipelined requests and parallel requests with multiple connections (and without threads).
Introducing javascript into the mix will not make the botnet more difficult to detect. Headless browsers have their own fingerprints which allow defenders to identify them from legitimate traffic. You can spoof the features that headless browsers don't have but that will always be a cat and mouse game.
Yes, good point. Gopher is internet browsing too but is Firefox the best way to experience FTP and Gopher? How many different protocols should Firefox support? Firefox does not have the same resources as Google so focusing on what Firefox is known to do best such as HTTP and its supporting protocols, like WebSocket, really well looks like a good strategy.
Coursera's Learning to Learn class by Barbara Oakley and her book "Mind for Numbers" [0] really changed my life. Can you point to specific courses and or books, from MIT's OpenCourseWare, that helped you become a confident learner?
I agree... what I think they meant to say is something along the lines of software defaults are already optimized to maximize and take advantage of the hardware's abilities so work is completed faster. The 'with the software baked in' should be changed to reflect the value proposition that Oxide is alluding to.
You are describing the Socratic Method[0]. It is a great way to discover the blind spots in your reasoning and enhance your worldview. Unfortunately, there are people who feel extremely threatened by the process.
This is why it is so important to have the courage to get up and leave. If one has been successfully sidelined then, yes, they will become an actual pariah because they feel like they have to explain everything that they do and will continue to do so because they feel like no one is acknowledging them. This is part of the gaslighters trap.
It should not be a surprise that there are some who might feel threatened by people who want to challenge the status quo in search of the truth or constantly push their mental and physical limits.
And when you are done with that, I highly suggest reading Edward Thorp's autobiography "Man for all markets" where he employs the Kelly Criterion in adventure after adventure. He not only developed the first card counting system for blackjack but he also created the first wearable computer to beat roulette (with Claude Shannon).
