It would make it much easier to steal if you mention (that is, market) which ideas in there are worth stealing ;)

I get a feeling that the tech job market is oversaturated right now, and there are plenty of people running around with all the "achievements" (diplomas, certifications, etc) and no actual knowledge. On my last job i sat right nex

More yes for deeper stuff, more no for outer stuff. I have integrated testsuit for core framework components, which can be run separately, i tend to have separate tests for more upper level stuff, and i rarely have unit tests for actual pro

6'8" tall, never in my life have i encountered a chair where my elbows would reach the armrests, and most tables are too low for me to sit at comfortably. Airplanes are the worst... At home i solved the problem by raising the tabl

Pure math? Not really. Math as applied to some numeric solution or another? All the time. I like building models and simulators, for stuff ranging from a space elevator to the sound of a supersonic rooster. I like making procedural generati

Huh. Everywhere i worked, the rules were along the lines of "you can do whatever you want as long as the goals/deadlines are met". A company taking copyright of personal projects of it's employees is unheard of around he

The largest personal projects i worked on were in the range of 100k lines, which takes 3-4 seconds to fully compile. So, i dunno. Stare at the screen?

Kind of similar here. My parents were in tech and engineering before USSR collapsed, and then moved on to other fields. I never made any permanent friends during school or university, and in the end the only tech people i know were the ones

Have you considered O-1 visa? It sounds intimidating, but many of the requirements are rather easy, i.e. "international prize" can mean getting an app in App Store or Google Play selections, "being a member of professional or

Ah, i see. I thought the Moon was unresolved within the dot, not the faint dot to the left. :(

Hm, interesting thing is, i got a Galaxy Note, and it lasts for a week on one charge after all the software garbage was removed. Battery life might be more of a question of software than hardware these days, so getting familiar with Android

Yep, that little dot in the sea of infinity is our little blue marble. No one have ever been more than a pixel (EDIT: a couple hundred pixels) distant from it, and soon even that achievement would fade from living memory.

Well, Orbital Designs http://orbides.org certainly qualifies as "something", but i'm not sure how much of a "blog" it really is since all of the content is indexed. :)

Ah, this brings back memories. I tried something like that about 12 years ago, with a homebrewn half-hardcoded, half-neural thing and a large set of Jules Verne books. The giddy excitement of being on the verge of unlocking the power of lan

It's not like inventing a car makes a bicycle obsolete. Also, since when is QNX old or obscure?

Bookmark it, then read later? Not quite sure what problem are you running into. I tend to have several directories - for places i asked questions or posted something, for things i want to read, but don't have time right now, for things

In my case it's more like put on nice music, imagine yourself into a random world and wander around.

Let my thoughts randomize, about 2 hours before going to sleep. It's the only way to attain the capability of falling asleep...

Re: article, A, lot of programmers treat their work as a work of art, so art comes before money. Simply speaking - while shit sells, making shit sucks. B, having a "license to renegotiate your deal" in reality looks like "hav

This is painfully familiar. Even worse for free games that can't be put on Steam, stores and similar places. 20 years ago just having a website and word of mouth was enough to get a players club going.

Interesting, i thought the problem was the other way around. I find Verilog quite intuitive as is, but the tools are rather crude. I.e. until recently Altera's Quartus felt like a hack some students put together in their spare time - m

Mostly sneakers and similar, of whatever brand and price that happen to fit my size 50 (~15 US?) foot. Current ones are by Merrell, model name too worn off to read.

Sadly, it was designed for much smaller capacity and does not scale well, so a new solution is required. As usual, it will get put off for lack of funding again and again until the old system finally breaks. Then there will be much action a

It's garbage when you need to switch to CW to continue the conversation. :) Seriously, when it's unpleasant to listen to. As i said in the other reply, with music the quality is pretty bad on almost any setting, voice just happen

Tried again with music... Even of high quality, there is a background sheesh kind of noise, similar to what you get if you play a 3D printed record. On higher compression it's turning into something rather crumbly, with a recognizable
