Tech salaries are really strong in Dallas. The pay increase I'd get from moving to SF or NYC would be offset and reduced further by taxes/COL.

I lived in Boulder, I now live in Dallas, which I picked over Austin. Denver is cool to visit...but so meh... I travel for fun a lot anyway, I don't need to live there.

+1 for Dallas. I would consider Dallas over Austin, just from the sheer growth and potential Dallas has. The tech/startup scene has exploded over the last 3 years. No state income tax, low cost of living. Dallas also has the highest gr

Can confirm. I'm stuck using TFVC on project and it has to be by far the worst. I can see how in some peoples' use cases it may be decent, but I don't understand why it would be anybodies first choice...or second...

I grew up in Dallas, have lived in other tech hubs, and I've been to Austin many times. When I came back to Texas, I came to Dallas. Dallas as far as 'start-up numbers' go might not be ahead of Austin (it's really reall

The start up ecosystem in Dallas has gone through crazy growth in the last 2-3 years. When you then consider the amount of talent and amount of money in Dallas overall, investments are becoming more and more common. I know many companies bi

I second using both. Go has moments where it shines and same with Rust. No reason to pick a side and commit...not sure why so many feel they have to... I don't think any one would argue with writing a web server in Go right now compare

Right, but they should not be indicating it's ready for production right now...simply because it's been production ready for ~2 years, stable for longer really. We have had React in production for almost 2 years...it has been extr

Exactly. I love how every release of Go, or Rust, mainly those two, turns into so much rehashing...it hurts. Little discussion about the release changes happens...a simple google search will return all the discussions of pros and cons you w

The Macan is one ridiculously good looking vehicle, especially in person. Small SUVs just aren't my type. I'm really looking forward to the 2017 Porsche Panamera, they are finally fixing the butt to make it look amazing, not awkwa

Yes, but at the same time, Women are tired of being treated like they're special. All of my friends who are women and engineers(or similar) would much rather be called an "engineer", not a "woman engineer". They HAT

It always sucks when things have to come to an end, however, this is a pretty graceful shutdown if you ask me. Many other service providers, especially in other industries, would often times send you a letter with a month, sometimes less, n

I use my Ipad Pro mostly at home as the "computer away from my computer". Article summed it up perfectly. I understand though that this is not for everyone, but for my uses, I love my Pro. Also, the pencil is freaking awesome! I&#

With Web Assembly coming in the near future, Rust will actually be a very great choice. Right now they are targeting c/c++, but Rust of course will be a great alternative. Do note that, for many things on the web, JavaScript is PLENTY

Awesome! I'm working on a home automation platform as well! Not close to being done (started last week). I'd love to see some code or examples of what you've come up with!

This is relevant and cool, UPenn now has a course for Rust - http://cis198-2016s.github.io/ You can follow along, all slides and HW are on github.

Ok I see now. I think both methods have a place going into the future. What I've understood from Relay/Falcore/etc. is those technologies are great for something like Facebook or Netflix, hence why they made the frameworks,

Out of all the new languages of the last 5 years or so (D, Rust, Crystal, Go?, etc.) I think Rust shows the most promise. It is attracting both c/c++ people and people coming from dynamic languages (Python, ruby, js). So I'd recom

This is awesome, I'm closing it now though as well. This is how teaching should be...this exercise isn't at all about programming and more about how to think. This can be simplified into a drag and drop block language and given to

Uber/Lyft/etc...This has been the end game since the ride sharing economy started. Hail an autonomous car to take you wherever you want to go for a very low price. It will make owning and driving your own car obsolete. In fact, wi

Don't worry, that's generally how most people feel, even if you've seen them many times. You have to pause and say, "...wait". I'd argue that the trends you actually see in almost all of them are misguided.

by Cshelton 11y ago
Exactly my argument. I would rather not give the user the option of creating that chart in the first place because 95% of them are misused and give misguiding trends, etc.

I think you hit the nail on the head early in the post. C++ is what you are most comfortable with. I believe that is the number one reasoning, at first at least (prototype, mvp stage), in deciding that language/stack to use. Use what y
