This is my experience as a staff dev in an org with this type of org chart. Staff devs are considered lead engineers with no reports and sit in most of the lead meetings.

Very much this. If I'm looking to know about a job somewhere, the first thing I do is check my network to see if anyone who knows me and has worked with me works there. Otherwise I'll see if people I'm close to know someone w

Back when a was a tech lead and made hiring decisions for my team I would run the questions I asked candidates by the rest of the team in a 1:1 setting. We were checking that people could answer the questions well -- and sometimes when they

Padding the array is a bit of a code smell. You can't just pad an array without allocating a new block of memory. After allocation you need to copy the array into the new space. This is a significant amount of overhead to a fairly stra

The last time I bought a TV it took a bit longer because I insisted on buying a dumb TV. Privacy is a large issue for me, but also not loading my TV up with software that it simply doesn't need. I ended up getting a TV that is not from

That is a major conservative politician talking point. I do not consider it founded in reality, but making it a talking point and an objective does increase political contributions from wealthy sources.

The article said that a judge ruled the search unlawful after the fact, and one of the reasons for that was because of the questioning -- so I'm not surprised there was no questioning in the cases you are familiar with since they may h

This seemed incredibly questionable for me when I read it. Of course, if he was prevented from consulting with his lawyer, how would he know if this is an empty threat or not?

I'll be honest, I stopped reading the article as soon as it mentioned Hypermedia, because I instantly saw the problem as the author being upset that Swagger is not Hypermedia. I have a really hard time seeing APIs ever reaching that le

You wouldn't notice a change from me, since I switched to Linux on my MBP. My next refresh will be to a Carbon, but this laptop is still fairly new.

Nintendo actually has a very sizable war chest. I don't think they are struggling for survival at all. Although Nintendo doom and gloom has been a popular theme for many years I'm a little surprised to see it here.

The point is definitely collecting the special coins. The pink coins seem to get harder to obtain as the game goes on. The purple coins afterwards are even harder, and the onyx coins are really challenging. The levels also have different ob

This is helpful for me. I serve on a local board and this very much describes the type of discourse that occurs there. For reference, we run the meetings according to Bourinot's rules of order: https://www.amazon.com/Bo

You could just grab user location and populate it in a db. Use a proximity search to see which users you see and see you. You could also break things down by geofence, but that would work better for a city chat since there would need to be

You can't take the Wii U tablet with you. It's not the core of the system. This allows Nintendo to combine their console and handheld divisions so that they can unify their focus and have a steady stream of software, even if third

It's brilliant. I have kids, and I could definitely see it coming places like the car where the kids are able to play together, or where I am able to play with the kids.

Your account is charged when purchases happen. So your account would not be locked. You just couldn't make any additional purchases until you updated your account. Chargebacks are the big problem for companies that operate like this.

As I understand it, native promises don't make native system calls. They are still pure js. They are just implemented differently from Bluebird which optimizes for the most common use cases.

Other cards might do chargebacks and fraudulent charge recovery, but I look at online services like Playstation Network. If your account is compromised, and you do a chargeback, they will ban your account and you lose access to all your dig

I think even UI/UX review would be good. Like looking at things that pop up on Show HN and doing a short video covering usability and design of the thing. Seems to me that it would be easier to cover UI/UX in video format than scr

Other than the Chrome icon on the "Get It" button, there's no real indication on the page that this is a Chrome only extension. I like the design though. Looks pretty slick. What's the target use case?

This is true. But real time encode is essentially what you need to do with live video instead of VOD transcode. You have other processes doing the other necessary work during the transcode. All in all, I look for somewhere around 0.25s to c
