Samsung's heir and acting chairman, Lee Jae-yong, attempt the same approach in the S. Korea bribery scandal. Pleading ignorance didn't work out so well for him. I foresee the same here. You cannot be at that level within a corporation and dismiss all accountability.

Last October '16 was greatest total volume of rain to fall and November was darkest (lowest UV penetration). Fall/Winter are tough here especially if you're impacted by Seasonal Affected Disorder (SAD).

Excellent user experience. Thanks for including Washington State. I'm already sharing this with friends.

Well done. I was talking to a colleague earlier this week about creating something similar for WA. We have the exact same problem with reservation windows being several months in advance and cancellations popping up.

I wasn't aware of ReserveAmerica. I always go straight to state or national parks sites to reserve.

What's the differentiator between what wanderinglabs offers vs. reserve america - pull checks & notifications?

Good or bad, you reap what you sow.

For those interested a couple weeks ago I did a source code review and write-up: "Mirai (DDoS) Source Code Review"

There's also Kelsey Hightower's "Kubernetes the Hard Way" https://github.com/kelseyhightower/kubernetes-the-hard-way

"Beautiful Code: Leading Programmers Explain How They Think" is a book that attempts to to tackle this topic. "The authors think aloud as they work through their project's architecture, the tradeoffs made in its construction, and when it was important to break rules." The book has been sitting in my to-read stack forever. You might want to check it out.

Agreed, and this is coming from a UT Austin grad. Hook 'Em!

A bit harsh. You might want to check your perception. According to U.S. News and World Report its graduate school ranks #20.

There are numerous studies on sleep deprivation and its impact on decision making and critical thinking; however, this is an interesting spin on it. It focuses on individuals' circadian rhythm and theory "proposing what they called the morning morality effect, which posits that people behave better earlier in the day".

>> But it will mostly legacy code, and by and large unimportant projects which no one really cares about in any company

Tell that to Google and Amazon.

I'm on the end user consumer side (can't speak for enterprise). Unfortunately, no, there hasn't been change for the better. Their primary focus is on reducing operating expenses rather than focusing on technological innovation. There has been some reorganization; however, in the end it's still the same old guard leadership that's been in charge for decades (nothing new).

It really depends on the role within IT you're considering: software development, system administration, project management, network analyst, support technician, database admin, etc.

What kind of role are you looking for?

Reminds me of the NYC Street Art that created some creative awareness surrounding drones:

Given that I work full time, have two kids (one being a newborn), and play in a band I sleep very little 4-6 hours a night.

That said, I've been doing this for almost a decade when I was in graduate school and working full time.

Over the last 13 years I've probably put on 10-15 lbs. I try to exercise at LEAST 3 times a week while eating as healthy as I can within reason.

Sleep is critical for memory retention, keeping up your immune system, maintaining serotonin level, general stress relief, etc. With that said if you have to you can adapt running on limited amounts. You'll have to be careful w/ weight gain or depression.

It tells me that SYMANTEC is no longer making a decent enough profit margin to justify the operational and support systems expenses for the product.

Google's support by peer group plays towards online tools and web services. If you've every done ANY large client-side, windows based software development while trying to support aging versions of OS and application distributions it is no SMALL task.

Good call. I'm not sure of the Dropbox client, but API is variable all the way up to 150MB. Typical client is "4MB chunk"

Good point, I only use TrueCrypt for sensitive documents (small in file size), and don't worry/notice the entire volume sync.

BoxCryptor does look like a great alternative; however, it's not open source and does come w/ a price (literally and figuratively - file names exposed if using free version or drop $50 USD).

Have you used BoxCryptor? Curious what your experience has been. I'll give it a try.

This is great; however, folks can still securely store data on cloud services. They just need to take a Trust No one (TNO) approach and encrypt their data to disk.

For example you can use TrueCrypt and create/mount a drive volume that is fully encrypted while synced across a file share storage/sync service like DropBox.

The only downside is that you have to install the TrueCrypt application on your client device, which does limit is platform offering (currently, no mobile).

Don't forget AT&T.

Well done. Happy to contribute and pick one up. Cheers!

I could see ChromeOS converging w/ Android into a single platform that allowed for android app emulation while running x86_64 apps natively.

I realize they're completely separate teams, but at what point do they converge to provide a greater value-add to the product?

What user is going to drop $1200 on a machine that only lets you browse the web? Unless GOOG plans on providing some large backend for virtualization or offloading CPU processing what's in it for the "power" user.

There's more to this than we're privy to. I don't see a user needing this kind of horse power for just cloud-based applications. That doesn't make sense.

Exactly. Initially, I was confused by this statement too.

There's nothing wrong w/ base64 encoding; however, one needs to apply it to the correct context like applying it to: hashes, avoid text collision/escaping chars, or just embedding plain old non-sensitive binary data in text.

Amazing. I was fortunate to travel out to Alaska a couple of years ago and do some glacier climbing and hiking. It was amazing, but pales in comparison to the vast, immense power of this photo. Awesome.

You do realize there are numerous variants of influenza.

For the most part, the vaccine is limited to those of the highest level of exposure (infection rate).

http://www.cdc.gov/flu/protect/keyfacts.htm

"The seasonal flu vaccine protects against three influenza viruses that research indicates will be most common during the upcoming season. Three kinds of influenza viruses commonly circulate among people today: influenza B viruses, influenza A (H1N1) viruses, and influenza A (H3N2) viruses. Each year, one flu virus of each kind is used to produce seasonal influenza vaccine."

Why run the risk of endangering yourself or others of infection?

Can't help, but think of...
