Has anyone tried LinkAce? I'd love to hear someone's thoughts on YaCy vs LinkAce. This is great timing. After looking at YaCy for my Synology NAS a few week ago, I looked at some alternatives. I like the look of LinkAce, though it

FYI, I was still blocked by WaPo's paywall after the first article, even though this extension is showing itself as on in Chrome (tried restart to no avail).

I saw a heartbreaking YouTube mini-documentary on Facebook moderators.[1] The American workers seem to get the "lighter" flags like animal abuse, which is more than enough to cause trauma with daily exposure. I shudder to think wh

I'm actually trying to learn compute shaders specifically. I've followed all the tuts and guides I could find and have made some neat things, but I still want more depth than I can just find through Google. If anyone has any recs

It's In-Q-Tel, not Q-Tel. I actually interviewed there a few years back. Very cool company.

Can you please elaborate as to what causes that hidden power structure (i.e. what goes wrong)? In your opinion, is the idea of flat management inherently flawed or is it just hard to execute? Curious to hear your thoughts as someone who&#x2

This looks awesome - I'm so excited to read this!

WOW. Unbelievable. Who the hell hires these people? They make you go through half a dozen technicals if you're going to be an engineer, but they let the homeless guy across the street run their PR department?

Don't forget BLT sandwiches! And moms.

This can't be real... right? God the advertising industry is so much worse than I thought.

I am so, so confused by Uber's marketing video. I feel like its satirical. I'd love to hear if anyone has the inside scoop of how it was made/ how Uber employees feel about it.

Do you guys use a recruiting agency called Adeptima? I got an email from someone there today claiming to be recruiting for you and it seemed a little sketchy.

Woah, can you expand on this? Are you a contractor or a government employee? What makes it laid back? Are the deadlines just more reasonable?

I used to work with the guy who made this hoverboard (the US company, not the Chinese one). He's an incredibly talented engineer, I'm glad he's able to fight crappy competitors that are hurting the hoverboard industry.

Since you asked, I'd say you're probably being downvoted because the fact that the creator is Jewish is irrelevant to the comment you replied to. OP was having a balanced discussion about the ethics of providing review products wh

I just read (and enjoyed) your article. I loved Zurich when I visited, but I don't speak the language. Are there opportunities there for coders who only speak English?

Wow, so weird to hear you actually had a good experience. You mean to say that the rifle's orientation in game matched its orientation IRL (i.e. you could hold it like a real rifle and not hipfire it with the laser)? What about the fra

I hate to say it but I'd cancel. Seriously not worth the money. A guy I talked to at a Melbourne VR meetup said he tried it when they were in alpha and again recently and was shocked to see basically no improvement. This is only anecdo

Yeah, I loved the Vive. The controllers added so much to the immersion, and it was really cool to be able to walk abound in VR without getting nauseous.

This was a couple months ago. I'm not recommending any other product or service. I don't know, how does one prove they're not a shill? By Doxing himself? AFAIK Zero Latency doesn't have a competitor in Australia (much le

Guys, please don't go to Zero Latency. When I was in Melbourne I coughed up the 80 bucks and went, and it was truly a horrendous experience. They had the worst tracking I've ever seen in VR. The gun's rotation was off by 40 d

When I was in middle school a kid got suspended for bringing a paper mache firework to class (basically just a fist-sized cylinder with a wick). It turns out it was completely hollow and didn't contain any black powder, but he still go

I owned the Note 4 Innovator Edition. Its better than you'd think. Very low latency, excellent tracking, solid design. But a noticeable Screen Door Effect is a downside, more so than resolution IMO. You may not get full presence, but u

How do you mean? Patents are generally reasonably expensive to pursue in time and money. I'm curious to hear more about the prank aspect of this patent application if you care to share.

First off, there's no need for all-caps. This isn't 4chan. > The fact that assumptions are considered as some unavoidable, forgivable, intricate part of science is part of what fuels anti-science and politics. No one here, as f

I have a relative who lived in Montana for several years. I'm told its a world-class hiking state and is much cheaper than Colorado. I went once to go fly fishing and it was gorgeous. Only the winters are supposed to be terrible, so yo
