Lived and worked in D.C. and have a TS/SCI, sat for FSP…. The IC doesn’t pay even close to big tech rates. There is also no mystery around someone contacting you, just apply to the NSA / CIA / etc. if those paths pique your interest.

Startups working on IC-relevant tech getting funding via non-traditional means is absolutely true but not guaranteed.

Thanks for the info. However, getting a 403 on the link?

How do you like the steam link? I had issues with getting multiple PS4 controllers to connect over Bluetooth and there always seemed to be a bit of latency / artifacting despite being wired, but that was years ago when it launched and I don’t know if those issues have been addressed or if the device was refreshed

You can have both sets of descriptors- but you need deep pockets and pepper willing to commit to a long term plan with profitability further out

This is why I’ve warmed up to Nix, pinnacle of dependency management IMO

This is an incredible statistic, and quite counter intuitive…. Goes to show that stress can come from any kind of change, even if that change seems to remove a major amount of expected work

Perhaps weaning off of work would be better than cold turkey retiring?

When faced with the same issue (optimizing for time wrt computer setup), I moved from a thinkpad with Arch Linux to an M1 MacBook + headless Ubuntu server under my desk.

Truly best of both worlds in my experience- incredible battery life and everything ‘just works’ for normal workflows on the MacBook, and can ssh into the headless Ubuntu box directly or from anywhere with internet. Depending on your dev needs, this anecdote may be useful: I’ve exclusively used vim and VS Code with a remote server extension to target the Ubuntu box for builds and I haven’t touched the setup for 6-8 months.

Also, if you’re willing to spend some time learning, getting into Nix ends up saving time in the long run as your nix shell definitions should provide replicable user / build environments on top of whatever Linux flavor you happen to be running at the time, for the headless dev box

I really want to get into Elite Dangerous but that rabbit hole seems time consuming…. Is it possible to play and enjoy without dumping tons of hours in?

Interesting. It seems Ken is sold on just getting the latest iPhone Pro for photos and videos these days. Convenient, but was hoping there’d be merit in going down the rabbit hole of old fixed lense film photography…

You have to be upleveling and counting on equity to grow but it is very much a thing.. check out levels.fyi

Can you elaborate on the last two sentences?

Cirrus Airframe Parachute System

Unless the eVTOL up for discussion is significantly heavier than the above, looks like a fair approach to last-resort failure recovery

Hadn’t seen this before.. and this license key operates at the hardware level, not the OS level? One can’t expect mpeg hw decide to function with arch or nix installed on a raspberry pi instead?

This is simply not true. Microsoft dog foods tons of its own software and all internal cloud services I know of run on azure. Also, having consumed both cloud service offerings, customer support within Azure was far more responsive.

The jailbreak subreddit has a solid sidebar with info on devices / iOS versions supported, and by what jailbreak method. Any current gen device is off the table at the moment, as is iOS 15.

Also- recently ordered a Japanese New 3DS and am glad to hear you are enjoying it, looking forward to having a great emulation machine- maybe one day I’ll get around to installing a modchip in my switch lite too

This was my experience as well- holding out on old versions of iOS + inevitably breaking normal workflows like banking ended up becoming too much of a pain, went back to a stock setup.

That and the random resprings which were likely the fault of jailbroken content I installed, but often it is too time consuming to debug exactly which tweak was causing the instability

Where is the data on this move?

Currently at a hardware-inclusive startup: most certainly is a different beast and requires a whole host of other engineering skill sets.. plus you are at the mercy of supply chains, long lead times in iteration, slimmer margins…. Time to market is immensely slow by comparison to a SaaS product and if you don’t get it right, there’s no remote hotfix to a bug at the hw level.. you need cash to burn, and time to burn it

Piggy backing off of this- the real net benefit is unblocking an SSTO design (Single Stage to Orbit).

Instead of having a lift stage and an orbital stage, aerospikes can theoretically do both, meaning one cohesive vehicle from launch through orbit.

The weight savings and reusability factors are huge if SSTO setups become feasible.

I’d rather receive my vehicle sooner and have a free retrofit than wait another x months for a charging chip

Hadn’t heard of this, what a strange read

I’m not well versed in architecture intricacies of arm64, simultaneous multithreading doesn’t exist on those platforms?

You’re saying you invested the equivalent of the car’s sticker price into an index fund upon purchasing, and draw from that to pay the installments on the loan used to purchase the car? How is this different than just investing all your spare cash? Mindset shift reserving the capital to cover the cars value, like the envelope budgeting approach?

What other companies do you like? DJI products are impressive, wonder if I’m missing awareness on other similarly well formed tech

Did you do a stint in big tech companies prior to going freelance? Is it just you or did you form a team of devs?

Curious to know your journey to viably being your own boss

Implying GitHub in its current form will die and functionality will gradually switch over to Az DevOps?

Or what am I missing here..

Couldn’t agree more. Recently hit the stage of needing things to ‘just work’ to free up time in other directions, whereas I used to constantly load new roms from xda onto a rooted pixel, or tinker with getting coreboot to run on an old thinkpad with arch..

Now it’s iOS / macOS / iCloud and a headless Ubuntu box. Never been more productive and never had more free time. Choose your battles.

Interested in learning more about this, if you can point me to the source data somewhere online. Unless you meant your particular company found this in which case I’m guessing you can’t go much further into it.

This would be really insightful if possible, thank you!
