Could it be possible to combine both worlds? Getting a university degree by spending four years with a strong focus on practical skills and intense workload[1]. To my knowledge only the top tier of american colleges (MIT, Berkeley, Stanford

I'm a developer and I like open offices. Sure, you have to be careful of your neighbors and don't interrupt them consistently. But, unless your coworkers are complete douches, this is pretty much easy to do. I like to answer quest

If I read correctly, the subs are going to be built in Australia. So, you got, at least, jobs creation.

One of the many problems we have as humans and citizens of the world, is our dependence on US laws. It's not like it's cataclysmic-bad but there are some issues that would greatly benefit, to the rest of the world, from a little p

I can't agree more with your second point, given the time I spent trying to explain various "disappointing" results to digital marketing people.

Apart from the SO moderation question, I'm quite bugged by a bigger one: How the hell this ended up in mainstream media? Can't we just ban every online buzz outlet from talking about programming, hardware or computers until they a

As you say, it can be pretty difficult to accept the unfairness of death by random software error. However, this is a situation that already exist today, but understood and acknowledged by a very small portion of people in our societies. Fo

Thanks, it was short, but informative! If I may, I would like to point to another kind of supermassive black hole: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xsp3_a-PMTw :)

Wonderful! Is it possible, like ubo, to block specific elements on the page that are not considered 'ads' by default? (like those annoying modals asking you to subscribe)

So. Four policemen put 40 bullets in somebody, and that's supposed to be "normal". What the hell?

I'm thinking of that every morning when I enter the subway. Oh man, I wish I could use that advertising space like giant windows with live feeds of beautiful landscapes.

Nice! I'm currently experimenting with classifiers to make semi-automated expenses classification. My bank don't offer API access (of course. Because they still live in the dark ages), but they do have an "usable" CSV ex

First, their EU based branches have been opened for years, the last one being Paris. Second, you should defined what is a normal company. They are pretty much the same as any big tech company, and they are definitively hiring the same pro

Despite being a nice experimentation, I don't think there will be any practical use in a real project. CSS preprocessors already allow us to style things with minimal structure and complexity. We already have a large set of tools to do

I like the position apple is taking, However, after reading the letter, I noticed it misses a point I consider even more important than just "a dangerous precedent". Apple is selling devices on the whole planet, not just in the US

You can add to this, the gigantic misuse of the term "AI" when journalists really want to say "robotics". I don't mind clever shortcuts when you need to explain something abstract or invisible to non-technical peopl
