Completely agree that this is a fixable problem that we must resolve before some "responsible" institution comes along and trades our freedom on the internet for security. I do think that there is an interesting twist for humanity

The level of abuse the author has endured is ridiculous and she certainly has my sympathies. It reminds me of Louis CK's routine about why he doesn't give his kids cell phones ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5HbYS

Pretty amazing lack of leadership on all sides to let this degenerate into a game of political chicken with no good endings for anyone. Clearly the Greeks were going to have an exceptionally hard time paying back their debt and certainly th

therobot24 - What libraries do you like better? Eigen is my current favorite free linear algebra library but it doesn't have 3d matrices and doesn't support avx instructions which are both areas for improvement.

Agree, non-informative article. If you're doing linear algebra, it is always a good idea to notice and then use a library. Even in c/c++ using eigen[1] or mkl[2] for speed and stability is a good idea when doing linear algebra. [1

As a manager of engineers I would definitely recommend showing up and trying to kick ass every day no matter what. If you're feeling like you're under paid feel free to discuss it with your manager and get another job if you feel

Most competent managers I know realize that under paying your team is another sort of debt that piles up and comes due. Compensation certainly isn't the only thing that matters to your team, but it is almost always an important factor.

Spent some time a few years back working in web analytics and my experience was similar to what ChuckMcM describes above - advertisers were relatively sophisticated in general and wanted to pay for performance rather than impression. There

Asana is pretty awesome for managing projects both at work and at home. Relatively easy to use/learn and if you're ok with cloud based software convenient as it syncs with your phone and can share with family members or team mates

Completely agree on maps, current version can cause a lot of frustration with options appearing and disappearing depending on if I've done a search. Who would possibly want to turn on traffic after searching for something? Nobody at go

I've found measuring memory usage with STL containers to be difficult as they have their own allocator and unless you're using reserve() often end up allocating extra space for things. Dr Dobbs had an interesting article a long ti

I would like to see H1-B visas awarded to individuals rather than the company/position. It really distorts the job market to have people tied to a particular position at a particular company. If H1-B visa holders could look for other e

Great to see psychology going after this in an open forum. The current publishing systems are likely to generate some false positives even assuming no bad actors. Replication by independent 3rd parties is a great way to confirm important re
