If there was ever qualitative analysis of my Amazon Alexa use, it would boil down to this: “Too lazy to tap on her weather app”

What about sweetcorn? Well, the sweetcorn we know today is essentially a post war discovery. It’s a random mutation, discovered in a batch of mutant maize strains sourced largely by exposing bags of the seeds to nuclear bomb tests in the South Pacific.

Which is actually the reason for QUIK: it moves connection tracking from the kernel into user space where it belongs.

@officialmcafee is the hero infosec doesn't need, but probably deserves. ;-)https://twitter.com/ErrataRob/status/1036340441896177664 …Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo -
Whelp, we now know who to blame for the sorry state of cybersecurity. It's nice of McAfee to take the blame for the rest of us.

So as for H1B visas and immigration: sure, there are lots of older high-tech workers in America, but they lack the skills desired by employers. The lack of such skills means they search elsewhere, such as young workers from India fresh out of college trained in Go or Rust.

(That last was a side joke -- like most things in high-tech, we read about them earlier, and thus are unfamiliar with a think spoken of even though we may even use it ourselves).

Even today, when I ask corporate IT works, they've all heard of Apache, but most still haven't even heard the name "nginx". BTW, it's pronounced "engine-x" -- I mention that because you've probably not "heard" of it, either :-)

Apache should've been wiped from this graph back in 2011 when it became obvious nginx was vastly better. Instead of a quick change, we've only seen the gradual change, because of the legacy effect of workers.

It's even starker when you look at the most important websites. If Netcraft hadn't reclassified CloudFlare from "nginx" category to "other", then nginx would've surpassed Apache by now on the busiest websites.pic.twitter.com/UxJcacuHdu

Consider this graph from Netcraft: Apache has been the dominant web server since the dot-com era. Yet, it's been out-of-date for almost a decade, needing to be replaced by better servers like nginx and NodeJS.pic.twitter.com/UjQRq55dtP

So I don't want to talk politics here (ha!), but point out the problem of legacy skills in high-tech. The problem with older works is that their skills have become stale. A company coddlingly older workers will be out-competed by startups hiring younger workers.https://twitter.com/RealJamesWoods/status/1036276118783963137 …

We see that already. The most popular Democrats these days aren't statesmen in the mold of Obama and Hillary, but fringe populists like Ocasio-Cortez. Obviously, it's not Trump's craptitude that offends Democrats, but simply the fact that he's a Republican.

So this thread is wrong. What unites those who stand against Trump is Trump. It's not anti-authoritarianism. There's every reason to believe that Trump's successor from the Democrat party will be just as bad as Trump, just a left-wing version of him.https://twitter.com/benjaminwittes/status/1036241827266023424 …

Occupational hazard: whenever you are in the news as a "hacker", you'll get a bunch of requests how to hack from: #1: those wanting to hack girlfriend's Facebook #2: teenagers wanting to impress friends/teachers/parents #3: paranoid schizophrenics because people are after themhttps://twitter.com/cybergibbons/status/1036281917535133696 …
