your account was created 5 hours ago, this was posted 6 hours ago. you seem to be quite opinionated about this topic. any reason why that is?

I've followed the gme saga off and on for the past few months, I've never once seen the theory debunked. If this is actually the case, could you post a link to it?

IMO Swift is a language written by a compiler guy to solve compiler problems. the syntax is dense because it forces you to make a lot of decisions that could otherwise go unmade in objc. If a variable is read-only, you're forced to thi

if the end-game of all this is driverless cars, I suspect that will greatly reduce costs and probably make Uber's model sustainable.

another Brooklynite here. this is 100% true. You absolutely needed to "trick" the driver into letting you into the car. I've had taxis drive off, or refuse to let me in. When I was in the car, they would say they can't t

ports put a limit on how thin the laptop can be. a VGA connection can't get smaller, an RJ-45 jack can't get smaller. the dimensions of the laptop define how realistically "portable" it may be, which is ostensibly the ma

HR could totally act in the way the article describes. They exist to protect the interests of the organization, and to minimize boat-rocking. It would be easy for HR to dismiss her claims in the very same way that you are. Before we start d

I don't understand the couple other posters who are dismissing this article. it is exactly what it claims to be, a practical introduction to functional programming. I'd also like to echo poster vvanders sentiments about Rust and

this "article" reads like it was written as propaganda by in-house HR to retain staff. 3% is basically a non-raise, it just keeps up with inflation. an extra 5% is alright, but is not adequate to retain talent who knows their wor

this is strictly anecdotal, but i just was notified of a pending charge to my credit card, for ~$1000. The charge was from stripe, and I've only ever had transactions processed through stripe for 1 transaction, with 1 vendor. so either

This is a great point as well, and I wish I did a better job articulating that in my own comment. Ultimately, there is nothing noble about "good hardware" in a vacuum. Hardware and software can achieve nobility only when they&#x27

I just can't bring myself to feel the author's anger, in any capacity. He wants to position this as a jab against those who build their own PCs, but that is utterly irrelevant. What percentage of those 600 million five-year-old PC

Take-home projects can be a double edged sword... for a given project that is estimated to take 4 hrs, i will typically spend about 16 hours on it. working straight through the night, chugging coffee and/or beer. I work by banging out

yes, it is a runtime error. given the code let foo = bar! If bar is nil, you'll get a runtime error "unexpectedly found nil when unwrapping bar" in my opinion, the benefit of optionals in general is that it allows you to guar

I remember being dumbfounded when they announced they were removing check-in functionality. It was the main thing I associated with the Foursquare "brand" and I was a heavy check-in user at the time (the game mechanics were great)

Are there any grey-hat things that can be done keep campaign-parity in the mean time? Strictly hypothetically, I'd throw all of my technical skills at this problem if there was a clear path to a solution.

They say history repeats itself... Google is making all the mistakes Microsoft made with IE a decade+ ago. Amusingly, Apple remains unfazed.

What nonsense. I'd write 5+5+5, every time, because it is less handwriting than 3+3+3+3+3. To me, this shows that the kid was able to step back and optimize his process, in addition to applying the rules of math. Those are definitely q

Isn't bitcoin explicitly a currency? I don't see any ambiguity around that. Or do you only get to be a currency if you're backed by a government entity that can be manipulated?

I remember renting this game from blockbuster back in the day. The game was so good I barely noticed that it had the McD's tie-in. The anti-gravity stuff added another level of complexity to each of the stages, and there were tons of s

I've never tried to write a game before, but that seemed to me to be a surprisingly small amount of code.

fellow bushwick resident here, I can confirm no yellow cabs want to go to brooklyn. many cabs also will lock their doors to prevent you from getting in, until after you've told them your destination.
