... to add to your point, then take companies like Google who rely heavily on ML to improve the quality of the photos further and the distance between "RAW data off sensor" and "the best Samsung/Apple/Google can gen

Nothing to do with the project, but I read through it, so... 1. It's built natively on Jetty - very tight integration, not just some libs running in a Jetty container. 2. Web is inherently Request/Response - all of this can be han

I used an approach similar to Peter's here to both an old streaming parsing library as well as a GUI (event handling) library -- effectively, re-use the same instance of the event shell with new data every time an event fired and copy

I would look at sys admin type jobs at law firms, small medical practices and other places that need a “tech guy” but don’t need to hire a full time developer.

This won't be successful - ETSY is a publicly traded company, unless corrective action can replace the loss revenue from ads/punishing duplication/aliexpress - it's not going anywhere. This is exactly what happened to eB

This was a _fascinating_ read and I thank you for writing that all up - I'm in your "3 year" dip and in the past made attempts at tackling the gut biome issue with cycling probiotics, fresh vegetable fibers, organic/loca

When I think of what a FinTech darling Wealthfront was when it came out, all I can see this is as a colossal flop. For what it's worth... About a year ago I opened a robo-advisor account at SoFi and another at Wealthfront and pitted th

I understand how you end up here - after a decade or more of micro-optimizations down a pit of the newest/most advanced scam and take over techniques... but at some point you need to sit back, zoom out and look at collectively what you

I would _guess_ that ousting a CEO AND acquiring the core company at the same time are expensive propositions - I'd also guess that MSFT fully plans to address the leadership issue there (Kotick) but going to give him a year to age out

I've been a Google Fi customer for 6 or 7 years now and what constantly scares the hell out of me is the subreddit where about every 3-6 months you see someone saying: "Google Fi did me wrong, so I reversed the charges on CC - now

They have specifically strengthened the motors in the sliding door to cut the average adult person in half if they take longer than 30 seconds to exit. (lol I like your example scenario)

Serious Question: Do they all use it for adult content? I've never used OF but see the porn/adult references all the time so I assumed that is all it was (obviously not it seems?)

This blew my damn mind 10 years ago when it was first written up in Wired - the way the article was written, the build up to the actual run... all of it was so inspirational and today I still refer to it in my mind whenever I think: "P

This is slick. 1 suggestion - make a Created (published) note optionally editable... so when the note is originally being edited there is a checkbox to allow it to be editable or not, so once it's published, it's fixed in space an

FWIW, this is what CouchDB has done from Day 1 and it _always_ seemed like one of the most magical and surprising things tool or platform providers would suddenly realize and then LOVE about using the DB. There was nothing fancy about it, y

This seems like a "pout" move... get blasted with a class-action, so blast everyone in the face with this 'safety and goodness' fee. No other solution to keeping toddlers off of a treadmill with a giant touch screen? May
