It's very easy to find articles that find that suggestion/engagement algorithms for YouTube, and presumably Facebook and others, pushes people toward more and more radical (extreme) content. https://firstmonday.org&#x2F

Exactly. These companies want to avoid government regulation / oversight. They are taking proactive actions to lessen the blame that would be assigned to them and thus (hopefully) avoid future regulatory action.

Yes, the standard should be applied to everyone. In my opinion, no one should ever suggest the murder of any other person regardless of whether they intend it as sarcasm, hyperbole, metaphor, or anything else.

The big take away for me here is: does the company see engineers as a "cost center" or a "profit center"? You can almost directly correlate the "traditional" approach to seeing engineering as a cost center, whi

I'm the same way. I spend a good amount of my time being pulled into production issues or debugging a particularly difficult issue with the product. In both of those cases, the "code" changes often take only a few minutes, th

I've actually asked this question in an interview before to a candidate. "Is there anything about the process you work in now that you would change, and how would you do it differently?"

I wonder if this changed after they sold to VCs. I worked there quite a few years ago and 3/4 of the employees were customer support. There was 24 hour support in multiple languages. They used to pride themselves on support. It's

I worked at a startup that hired a designer that worked on Tron Legacy to design the main product interface and we built it. It's a very complex UI with lots of graphs and information and it was damn sexy and the information was actual

The drivers it installs is often a built-in Windows/Microsoft driver. It's easy to see in the Device Manager. It's just windows works differently. Every device that's connected first registers as am unknown device and th

I used WinDirStat a lot but I've since switched to TreeSize (free edition). WinDirStat is single threaded so you can't really do anything while it's scanning. TreeSize let's you navigate the tree while the scan is still

> Former NASA engineer and YouTuber Mark Rober teaches you everything he knows in this one-month class Why do they need to exaggerate like this? Obviously he cannot share everything he learned over years of study and practice in a month.

I have a small website and I have one page with an order form and I show a modal with the result of the order. This is how I do it. The Ajax calls gets back HTML that it shoves into the modal. It was just easier than writing JS with templat

An article I read said that they did provide hashes but they also provided instructions on how to install it anyway if the hashes didn't match.

The way I like to work is first to write out all the code I need to make something work correctly, then I go back over the code to see if there's anything that could be simplified or split into separate functions, etc. I really like to

I looked around on the site and couldn't find any explanation about how it works, a diagram of the auth flow, or even a gif showing how the flow works.

That's a really cool looking game. For someone that's a web developer that's never done game development at all, do you have any recommended resources for learning?

I would say that it depends on the sophistication of the user. I work for a crypto company and this is our belief. Users hold their own keys and must sign their own transactions. Of course that means that things like limit orders can't

That's my point is that it's so concentrated it takes very little to completely disrupt the entire industry. The question to me is are the increased costs of diversification worth the risk of temporary (or maybe permanent) disrupt

I'm surprised that industry hasn't diversified the geographical locations of important manufacturing like this especially after the great hard drive shortage of 2011 after flooding crippled most hard drive manufacturing.

The think this supports the OPs argument that we're refining, not inventing. Everything you've said here is about refining, it's not a completely new way to attach materials together.

Since there is a limited supply of Bitcoin, people are buying Bitcoin now with the hope that there will be more demand for the limited supply in the future. There is a hope that Bitcoin becomes "useful", thus driving demand. Since

Being a decentralized application, certainly the core devs could attempt to make such a change but I guarantee that would cause a fork and the community would decide which fork they want to put their mining effort into.

This sounds more like a "professional organization". I wonder if this would be a good thing for software engineers, where it's not a union for a specific company but just a lobbying organization to push for legislation that i

I still have a 1.6gb IDE drive that is functional. I have drives with 70k hours that still run. I've had 2 drives fail in the last 30 years. It may be rare but when it happens you'll really wish you had a backup.
