The solution is actually quite simple. Being able to choose your child's sex. If women have happier and easier lives, parents will prefer having daughters which will in turn increase the female population and decrease their value, brin

I wonder if you (core devs) could get full-time jobs to integrate Sandstorm with company infrastructures.

Why would it? Imagine being a Google/Alphabet shareholder.

And on the other end of the spectrum we had Jobs era Apple, with One True God overseeing all demigods who oversee projects. IMO the things that made Apple products so successful was this structure which left no room for confusion and that t

If LV2 plugins are anything like VSTs, you'll need to load the plugin in your audio application and route your MIDI input through that plugin. In most DAWs this is done by creating a track then assigning MIDI input and the VSTi to the

Am I the only person who finds GNU parallel way too complicated? I tried to perform a very easy parallel task with it and spent hours reading the documentation and various tutorials. If a person with Unix command-line skills can't easi

From what I've seen it's been getting much better. Linux has very powerful tools for media creation/editing now: Blender, Krita, Darktable, Natron are some quality apps that I'm aware of.

First there was NaCl which was a subset of x86 code leveraging x86 features to sandbox the execution. This x86 subset was produced by a special toolchain and could be verified before running. Then PNaCl came along with a platform-independen

I use Lastpass and I just realized that it prevents phishing since it autocompletes my login info based on the domain.

If VR technology doesn't advance fast enough to solve its current issues (nausea, lack of DoF and gravitation) in the near future, we will likely enter a period of stagnation like the AI Winter.

If you find this too pricey, then build a cheaper or free competitor.

You don't even have to give feedback in an interview. Just let them answer your question and if it's too detailed, write it down and look it up later. In fact, Google usually doesn't give back any feedback during or after the

Even they aren't paid that highly. Most of them make chump change compared to a world class lawyer or a doctor. I guess we can thank Steve Jobs for that. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-Tech_Employee_Antitrust_L

On the contrary, I would say that enterprises should take the risk and use such projects. They likely have enough capital to hire the correct people (e.g. one of the core devs) when a problem shows up. Startups can't afford that. There

What else can they do? With the new wave of AI and automation there will be no jobs left for people with below average intelligence. You will need more and more researchers and programmers but not everyone can do those jobs.

The lack of gender diversity in tech is NOT a problem. Women choose not to become software engineers for the same reason they avoid all STEM fields. This recent push to make everyone a software engineer is such an obvious attempt by compani

Yes, that is definitely possible. Chrome isolates data as much as possible between processes. A shared cache would be a big improvement in memory usage, but security is the biggest concern.

Men are disposable. This idea is wired inside the deepest, most primal part our brains. There are a few possible solutions to this. We could evolve ourselves and change our brains. We could tip the gender population ratio in favor of women,

It's a way of hiding local variables. Old "var" variables are function scoped, so you can't even hide them in if-blocks or for-blocks, which makes scope leakage even worse. If you're a JS programmer you should defin
