Interesting. So it seems that enjoying baseball is a form of mild insanity that is distributed evenly across all races ;)

I think you're misunderstanding him. What he meant was the cultural norm (or more accurately imo: "the stereotype") in America around black people is that they can't swim, don't like baseball, don't listen to r

Wow I had no idea this canal was such a disaster in the making, and the article didn't even mention the canal the Chinese are building in Nicaragua which would significantly shorten shipping routes compared to Panama.

The author repeatedly conflates conservatism with Christianity. While there's probably a higher percentage of Christians who identify as conservative, it's not their conservatism that would trouble me in a University setting. I wo

Pretty sure these numbers are international, not limited to the US? Though I'm sure there is a sizeable percentage in the US. Also doesn't really mention what sorts of roles are getting cut, just that they're skewing towards

Ah yes of course, thanks. I took too brief a glance at the S3 pricing page.

Anyone know if the quoted cost of $0.04/GB for Transfer Acceleration is instead of the $0.03/GB for standard S3 ingress, or in addition to it? Ie. is the final cost per GB $0.07 or $0.04 when using Transfer Acceleration? Edit: a

Density isn't really the problem in San Francisco. The problem is available housing. Relatively speaking San Francisco is far less dense than many other cities. But these other cities don't have housing shortages.

A couple questions: (1) I notice that your pricing chart mentions storage. I'm wondering what that typically would consist of? Only thing I can think of are static assets as I imagine a codebase — even with a million npm module depende

That's one hell of a clickbait title. In order for any browser to be "the new IE", developers would have to hate it and dread developing for it/supporting it. Ask any web developer today which browser is their favourite,

Agreed, the title was link bait done to death. I'm not in the situation of ramping up a team unfamiliar as the author was. But it sounds like he was experienced with JS and React himself. Or are you suggesting he should replace his tea

You're an A because you know you're a C and have employed this workaround to compensate ;)

This sounds like a great idea! One caveat being that the it probably caters more to web/mobile devs. Eg. you probably wouldn't use this challenge for a database engineer, or machine learning role. You could, but it wouldn't t

Whether or not React's goal is to cater to beginners doesn't make the argument any less valid. Also React doesn't equal JSX. The React docs also mention how to do things without JSX. Maybe it's the article's title
15.
by disbelief 11y ago
I think his points about new developers having to learn JS, React, and JSX all at the same time and then context switch between them in ways that aren't entirely clear was pretty spot on. I don't know how you draw that comparison

Also many (the majority?) of Parse users signed up with them so that they wouldn't have to self host anything .

I have to agree with most of this but I was actually pretty impressed by 3D touch and I just think it'll take a little bit of time for app developers to start using it in novel ways. I wouldn't write that one off just yet.

The article mentions two independent groups of physicists who both had access to his device and both reported the same results. That would mean that both groups were in on it, or he's become so good at faking his results that they with

Just to clarify: in this case it may be okay if you're doing work for a client outside of the US and they are billed by a business entity that is also outside the US? So the deal-breaker is doing work for US companies?

How would you rate a senior engineer's odds at qualifying for an O-1 visa? Can they get by on career/work history alone or does it require a level of public notoriety?

by disbelief 11y ago
If someone is on a visa tied to a specific job at a specific company, what is the legality of working on personal side projects (that may turn a profit)?

This was surprising to me! I always figured my Zipcar wasn't much of a target for thieves because: It has a big Zipcar logo emblazoned on it (slows down turnaround of the car if you're trying to sell it), it has the custom Zipcard

> Zipcar can track the cars using GPS but they told me they can’t turn off the engine remotely. A less extreme (and litigious) option could be to just turn on the car's alarm remotely. It would make the prospect of stealing one far

I love Mr. Robot (even though it borrows rather heavily from Palahniuk, among others) and strongly recommend it to anyone who liked the movie Hackers. I particularly enjoyed the Hackers reference in that episode you mention. The character&#

This is great! One nitpick: I wouldn't say that SQS is like Sidekiq. Because sure, part of Sidekiq is a queue (in Redis), but the more important aspect of Sidekiq is the workers that operate on the queue. If you needed a second example

Because it's your job and you're being compensated to do so. If the company is running fine without the owner, and his/her being away isn't negatively affecting your own ability to do your job, then why does it matter to
