A case study in bad hiring practice and how to fix it

None of this - none of it at all - is remotely relevant to the actual day-to-day job of a Head of Security Operations. Again, these are questions that cannot be answered appropriately in character-capped text fields. But beyond that, these are questions that should not - ever - be used to screen applicants.

The case for commuting by motorcycle

America has a motorcycle problem. Whereas the rest of the world views two-wheeled motorized transportation as transportation, the US sees motorcycles and scooters as toys. They're not something you use to commute to work or run errands. Instead, they're for riding to the coffee shop on weekends. This is a flawed line of thinking, and I'll tell you why, using two motorcycles as examples. But first, hear me out. I live in Los Angeles, which is famous for its hellacious traffic. For motorcyclists,

Myths About Floating-Point Numbers (2021)

Floating-point numbers are a great invention in computer science, but they can also be tricky and troublesome to use correctly.

Last year I was preparing for a more extensive talk about this topic, but it got cancelled, like pretty much everything in these hard times of the COVID-19 pandemic. So in

The 2020s are shaping up to be one of the most violent decades in modern history, with American-sponsored proxy conflicts and shadow wars smoldering all over the world, from Ukraine to Yemen to Gaza.

Scientists Design Huge Spacecraft That Could Carry 2,400 Colonists to Alpha Centauri

A team of engineers has come up with designs of a 36-mile spacecraft, dubbed Chrysalis, designed to carry up to 2,400 passengers to Alpha Centauri, the closest star system to our own.

Unsurprisingly, Chrysalis sounds like it was yanked straight out of a sci
