I would argue that the problem is that it IS targeted toward developers. In the sense of those who are developing new methods and making proof of concepts. Admittedly, most of my experience is with ipython but it is perfect for that. If the

Pretty much. Our firm is actively not in Silicon Valley (or CA at all). And as such, we don't offer six figure starting salaries. And that does hurt us when it comes to getting new grads as they say "I can go work for Google and g

I am not sure how I feel about this. On the one hand, this would theoretically guarantee a minimum user experience. Which is nice. And a lot of those changes sound stupid and dangerous. On the other hand, many of these changes may be with t

WoW I would be very surprised by. But all the MOBAs and esport FPSes and the like are fair game. Mostly because, with the latter, improved AI means better competition and a deeper understanding (which boosts sales). With the former, improve

Not aware of any cards specifically (outside of European chip-and-pin, but I don't think those usually work online), but this is the big argument for things like android/apple/firebomb pay. Make a purchase, then sign off on y

Could we not have the editor wars? Aside from that: I love vim and use it any time I work remotely (via ssh). But I spend good chunks of my time in Linux (Mint), Windows, and Mac. And Vim is great for the first and the last, but is awkward

Ah. My apologies Because your government said reprocessing was not allowed because they base their decisions on decades old technology and ignore any advances, there is now an excess of nuclear material. Ergo, reprocessing is a bad technolo

The 10% overhead is largely advertising and a way to get preorders (after you are established) But, while software (gaming), take a look at some interviews with Larian and Obsidian/inExile (I forget which one of those... probably both)

Just to make sure I am following your understanding that is based solely on politics: Because your government said reprocessing was not allowed, there is now an excess of nuclear material. Ergo, reprocessing is a bad technology Thank you fo

I would imagine agreements regarding distribution rights. Netflix (distributor) can only offline stuff they have the rights to. HK in particular I would assume Netflix (content producer) are interested in partnering with a Chinese company a

Take a gander at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuclear_reprocessing Technology has advanced a lot since Homer got out of the lead suit. A lot of nations just refuse to use said technology out of fears that there will b

Except, what is the threshold? Are MS responsible for every time a 20 year old machine running windows 98 because nothing else can run the data collection software crashes? Should I give Linus a ring every time my aunt breaks her laptop tha

Not necessarily. If maintenance costs outweigh the savings (compared to "clean" coal or something, let alone sources that are even remotely close to clean like nuclear) then it never will. Regardless, this is still pretty awesome

The issue isn't the capabilities of Make. The issue is that those incremental constructions are largely a case of implementing your own version of CMake (yay) or Autoconf (boo). And I guess scons sort of counts too. Sometimes that is a

What.cd reminded me a lot of the abandonware sites. I may have allegedly been a pirate years ago. And I may have allegedly spent a lot of time at various abandonware sites because I like older games. And those sites seemed great. They had s

Definitely ignorant on the subject, but are there ANY nations that would meet that requirement? I would assume any that are savvy enough to detect tor AND care about it would probably not just say "Oh you crazy kids. Be more careful ne

I don't really see how anything there was "disruptive" and it seems like this is less a factor of technology and more just societal change. The big factors are 1. Tourists who don't know (or care) what a geisha really is

You may be missing the point A lot of things have lua bindings and a lua interface. But once you stop being your own boss, your control over which interfaces and bindings to use shrinks drastically. I believe the question was more: What fie

Because you need to get to the interview stage AND seem good during it Here is how the hiring process works from the end of the people on the committee: 1. Get all the CVs. Let's say this is either an entry level position or a particul

Sounds reasonable (to the extent any of this does). In the event of an actual terrorist, this gives them a lot of data so that they can argue they have the UK equivalent of probable cause to subpoena various sites for more detailed browsing

For the more self-righteous startups (the kind that will grill you on engineering ethics when the job is to make a plugin to add a squiggly line filter to instagram), you are probably screwed as they will basically invoke Godwin's Law

And for actual publications and the like, latex is indeed awesome and there is a strong argument for superiority. But the ``problem'' is people who insist on using it for everything. Have a memo? Better set up a repo. Writing a re

While this is indeed not the target audience (which makes it hilarious), that is a horrible attitude. A lot of the complaints that have been brought up (premium pricing, much cheaper and better alternatives, not actually a new idea, etc) ar

And while true, if that came out today it would probably be called "clickbait" Yes, 10% sounds about right for un-redeemed gift cards. But tell me, how often do you wear your xmas sweater? Have you ever gotten a gadget from a well

I am aware of that. The fact of the matter is that I don't mind too much (small towns are great for lowering your expectations when it comes to quality of service...). I can afford amazon prime annually and even just not having to care

Again, the discussion was about why topics like C/C++ are dismissed/disliked around here and I presented an argument based upon observations in threads. That is actually a valid approach. And if your issue is actually that I very

Except that this is a discussion on how news and topics are received at HN. So making a projection based on available data is actually quite reasonable and if there is a sample bias, it is a valid one. Because it doesn't matter if ther

I recently moved from being twenty miles from a distribution center to the middle of nowhere. After eventually getting annoyed enough to contact Amazon, it was explained that Release Date Delivery and Prime 2-Day Shipping aren't actual
