I love this so much. Amazing use of creativity and tech chops. A++ would trainspot again.

Yeah, really shocking. Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Let's leave real money behind and all move to crypto. It's just so easy. Can't trust banks. /s

I can see this for a team of interns on a summer project, but not senior devs that don’t really get stuck that often, or know to involve someone for the brief periods where they need a second set of eyes.

This. If you have a CFO, contact that person. If not, then anyone in finance, or a partner. Everyone is there for pay. This is a reasonable request.

I spend most of my time in Go these days, and find that it's goroutine model is perfectly suited for both I/O and CPU-bound services. The runtime decides if a thread is needed, and will spawn one any time you're waiting on a

Wouldn't you agree that a compiled language is typically much easier to maintain than an interpreted one (refactoring, etc). Also, it's been years since I've worked in C#, but I would imagine you could stay in the language bu

It's a joke - hence, the smilie. This is a typical response from a non-Firefly fan. :)

Who cares about non-Firefly fans? :)

Agree. I like Go for the same reason. With Java, there's a weird pressure to spend a week designing class hierarchies and to set up all the factories and abstract factories. In Go - uh, you can do it, but you're going against the

... and how it could reverse Greedo shooting first - I assume this technology can fix that... I'm right there with ya, buddy.

Why not just have TSA agents flip a coin, or buy a bunch of Trouble board games, and repurpose the dice rolling bubble?

Yeah. You can save a lot of your time, and the candidates' time with a simple coding interview - even FizzBuzz will knock out half of the candidates. Then pair up and/or give a take-home, then discuss the solution in a one-on-one

Coding interviews are very stressful, and churn through a lot of really awesome potential hires. I imagine there are tons of false negatives, but it's nearly impossible for a terrible programmer to get through a gauntlet of programming

This would never happen if Steve Ballmer was still alive.

Does Apple get to bill the FBI for the time that their engineers and legal department will be busy on this request?

Satellite is also an option for remote locations: https://www.sparkfun.com/products/13745 $250 for this module, and $12/month for the satellite usage. For the sensor itself, that's a simple micro controller f

Right. It's definitely interesting. I'm just tired of the "scientists are perplexed/baffled!" headlines.

by blakecaldwell 11y ago
Scientists are baffled! Oh, never mind. They pointed to the obvious landslide.

Sure, it might be dangerous, but at least you wouldn't have to plug in your phone anymore.

It's not just sharpness of focus. There's that, because of - I believe - how densely different areas of our retinas are populated with cones and rods. That's not the same thing that's going on when you look at a tree in

Unlike all GUI apps out there, this one gives you the ability to write one, using the interface as an API. Go for it!

As a developer, I think we'd all be better off if all software was developed on 5-year-old machines, databases pre-loaded with a million records, and Redis and Memcached swapped out with instances that use disk, not RAM.

If you find good ergo computer equipment, buy two extra copies.

This is what I meant. I'm making the "crazy" assumption that the market hasn't hit the highest peak that we'll see in the next 30 years
