From what you've mentioned, I'm focusing on Go and GraphQL professionally (I'm a backend engineer). Flutter will definitely get looked at. Something I'd add if you also spend time in backends is infra - choose a system (

Honestly, there are far to many to even list. I think part of the issue may just be that not every application is an 'app' - computing is increasingly intertwined with physical applications. Here are a few consumer-focused 'e

If you're just looking to manage your personal environment, probably Vagrant + Chef. If we're talking about for a team or organization, a former co-worker of mine wrote a nifty tool called Boxen [ http://boxen.github.co

I'm not a miner, so correct me if I'm wrong, but that seems like a bit of an apples-to-oranges comparison. Tesla cards (and the servers designed around them) are intended for specific use cases: mission-critical enterprise solutions and sci

I first learned about bit-shifting when I took DIP / Computer Vision as an undergrad. All the assignments were done as plugins for ImageJ, which is apparently widely used in the scientific community (or so the course claimed). ImageJ stores

I'm guessing that that's the reporter's fault. The quote seems to referring to AWS, which they've probably never heard of, leading them to make a uninformed guess as to its meaning. Just another case of general media reporters covering stor

One thing I love about Lin's story is that it's making people realize that today's "industry experts" still don't perfectly place talent where it needs to be, even in an industry as heavily scouted and recruited as pro sports.

focusing more on design choices and principles rather than on CSS technicalities I'd suggest using it specifically for this reason - that is, unless there is another framework that does an equally good job of getting out of one's way as B

Xen is still widely used. IIRC Xen provides the virtualization layer for AWS, and it is used by some pretty large hosting providers (Linode comes to mind). It also is packaged into a number of commercial commercial offerings. Oracle's VM so

The funny thing is that, while my first reaction was "that's really cool", my immediate next thought was that it would have been much cooler using augmented reality instead of figurines and models. I wonder how much longer there is going to

In the article, it said that the device used could extract data regardless of whether the phone was password-protected or not. Looks like it's time to start encrypting our cellphone data as well.

There factor of risk aversion exists, but I'd argue not any more so for women than for men of the same racial groups. This is because the risk really isn't financial - these days everyone knows that there's tons of money to be made in tech.

What kind of engineer are you? You mention having foundations in C and Matlab; is this something that you would be interested in building on or do you want to leave the engineering world completely? I spent a lot of time hanging around the

Elite athletes are valuable only because they are scarce. That statement is vacuous in regards to the argument he's trying to make. Anyone who is elite at what they do is scarce, regardless of occupation; that's essentially the meaning

raniskeet has a good point; if you've read and really understand the content of both of those, there's not too much that you'll learn from just reading more books. I'm pretty much in the same boat as you (read The Good Parts, started the De

I would think that the PS3 supports more than just ES, as Unigine has been offering their engine for use on the console, and their benchmarks using said engine use the latest OpenGL 4 features like HW tesselation ( http://unigine.com ).

I do like the new look, but I wish that they kept the illusion of reflectivity a little bit. I know the matte look is in right now, but the name of the browser is Chrome . They could easily imply simulate a reflective surface using differe

"Fullscreen video" isn't saying much. Sure, my 5 year old AMD64 desktop can play fullscreen video. Can it play fullscreen 1080p h.264 / HD Flash (remember, 5 year old video card == no HW acceleration) without dropping frames or turning into
