I like mayo but pretty much all shelf mayo is made with oils that are bad for you. Even some brands which claim to use olive oil primarily use another oil with olive oil further down the ingredient list.

I wonder how Facebook would feel if all the open source software they currently use incorporated the same license. I bet it would deter them from enjoying much of the code they built their business on. This stance seems pretty antithetical

I don't understand the value of this over simply building a mini ITX system for cheaper and equal/greater performance? The only advantage this has is being able stay portable with the external GPU but $500 just for a dock is insa

There's some decent questions here, but also too many "how to" questions that most people won't bother memorizing since they take 2 seconds to google.

This reeks of forcing a parent's goals and ideals onto their children which in the situations I've seen tend to never end that well. Encouraging them to do what their genuinely interested in I think would probably lead to much ha

A significant impediment is handling peak usage power. Maybe solar can provide most of our energy needs, but for those times where peak power is needed, it's probably more sensible to take a more balanced/mixed approach. *edit lo

Whether "millennial hipster game developers" are actually lazy or not seems to be besides the point. Hasn't it already been consistently proven that working more than 45 hours is much less productive than a steady 40-45 hour

Wow never knew. That's a pretty huge barrier that more people should know about.....

CALM and CRDTs are interesting stuff. That being said, I feel like the author is confusing a bit the specific implementations of modern APIs vs the concept of an API which I see as simply some (somewhat standardized) interface to a system w

I find it curious how people who are as smart and technical as programmers are, can come up with testing/interview methodologies that so clearly deviate from the actual day to day activities of what that position will probably require.

You missed another benefit towards API first development: it makes it much easier to get a head start on mobile development as you can reuse many of your endpoints for common operations.

I think you're mostly on the point, but unless you have serious inside knowledge, I don't know if you can really assume PRISM is about national security and not about other nefarious purposes.

I did a startup then got out for precisely the same reasons the author states. You won't always be young, but a startup at any age is always possible. Since money will never be able to buy time (though I'd love to see a time machine or a r

On a related note, does anyone have some informed opinions on the best type of business entity (e.g. LLC vs S-Corp vs C-Corp, etc.) to set up for a consulting business such as this?

It's an article focused on Singapore. Exec hasn't launched in Singapore yet afaik.

Maybe I'm not understanding it correctly, but on the point about "it's ok to block", does that mean Go will continue to serve other requests normally, but at the point of the blocking code, it automatically has a "callback" to the next comm

The worst part about an article like this is someone will take this seriously and believe this is the path towards "success".

Well, sometimes saying you're profitable is important to the topic at hand, and sometimes it's not. If it is and you gloss over the details, people will find it less helpful, and I personally have less confidence the author knows what they

by jwingy 14y ago
The disagreements in just these small sample of comments is a little bit of an example that people don't always have the same idea of what 'profit' means no matter how well defined you think it is in the lexicon. The alternative is to alwa

This is definitely not a useless article. If you've ever read an article or blog post where someone is talking about how they built their business and said something about being profitable at some x point in time, then they proceed to NOT

It's kinda funny, because I often think this way but in the opposite direction. How the hell does one build a socket anyways? (Yes I will go and google this now so save your lmgtfy links :))

As someone who was taught the 'traditional' way of mathematics, can someone give a few pointers of de-programming myself from the traditional way that I was taught? (Although maybe it won't be so hard since I feel like I've forgotten quite

It's also much quicker to parse through text than to wait for someone to say it, even if they are a fast speaker.

I would say the persistence needed to make something does make it hard. I understand what you're saying, but I don't think you can say it makes it any less difficult to ship something.

I had been doing my own research recently on 2d frameworks and engines to use, and while I don't have any experience with the following, they do seem to have a fair amount of respect within the game dev communities: https://love2d.org/ h
