I don't get it? That doesn't sound too bad. A brief interview with candidates, a short take home project, and then a final interview seems quite reasonable. There are tons of people applying for jobs, and companies want to make su

I was intrigued when I started reading this article, but then it just ended without really delivering anything. I think this could be summarized as: "I once heard about how having a centralized currency helped prevent bad things. Bitco

This is what my criticism is, as well. A few days ago I had been pondering a similar concept of a blockchain-based platform for tracking image ownership. The main blocker I encountered while thinking about it was the problem of immutability

You can see in the screenshot of it being the number one restaurant that it only has 83 reviews (likely the originals from friends that likely got him into the top 10,000), yet it's still #1. I'm speculating, but TripAdvisor likel

I think I disagree with most of the arguments for this, and I think the author's example of his own "something like DAO" is worse organization. I haven't used "DAO" but from what I understood reading this, it&#

I'm not sure if this is a question about Garmin or ANT+, but assuming a device is Bluetooth enabled, is there documentation for the Bluetooth API? I really want to find a nice smart fitness thing, but no one makes apps for my phone, so

What do you mean by "they are"? I, too, don't understand how this is a legal issue given that people can talk face-to-face, or over non-recorded voice services. If it's written communication, what if you're writing

> The sad fact is that the mobile phone ecosystem in general is full of garbage. Neither Android nor iOS is exempt. But at least with Android I have freedom. As a Windows Phone user, this is why I'm dreading the day I need to repla

I agree. It's incredibly difficult to find anything that isn't a basic, low-value result when you're looking for advanced, detailed content. Maybe I'm looking up practices on how to write efficient SQL queries. All of th

My favorite fitness app, Caledos Runner, is Postcardware! Unfortunately, even though it's a fitness app, I've been too lazy to send the postcard. Maybe I'll do that sometime soon. https://api.caledos.com/ ht

"The company’s research has found that a younger audience wants unique products and “is searching for items that push against conformity.”" I wonder how much time and money was spent for Ebay to realize the obvious: that young peo

Wouldn't Uber still be safer overall for passengers when it comes to intentional crimes (not accidents)? In Uber, a driver may commit a crime, but the nature of requesting a ride means there's now a direct link between a victim an

I've been considering just buying a few prepaid SIM cards just for services like this. I'd love some throwaway phone number/ SMS-forwarding services, but most get blacklisted within a few months because spammers immediately j

Its certainly more traceable from the perspective of metadata aggregation. If you were looking at the users from multiple sites, you could easily consider "*@bumblebutt.example" to be one person thus linking all accounts together.

Aside from malware, this might just be trying to get a lot of likes on a facebook page. I'm not exactly sure how it works, but there's definitely a demand for pages with a large quantity of likes. I have a page that has 100,000+ l

I'm sure this is a thing someone has decided was a good idea at one point. It can easily be done in other languages, too. I wouldn't be surprised if someone, for example, decided to hijack PHP's `__call()` function to forward

I'm really happy with Algo! One minor issue I experienced: I have not had a good experience using Digital Ocean for VPNs. I tried manually setting up OpenVPN on it a while ago and got really bad upload speed (admittedly, I could have m

For what it's worth, it did seem to be true at my last company. Engineers were outgoing and the artists were all the introverted quiet ones. Edit: Then again, I was pulling a lot of engineering weight and was the one with headphones on

I'm surprised how much love there is for Anker. The only product I have from them is a vertical mouse, which I'll admit looks nice and has a solid feel, but within a week the scroll wheel became nearly useless due to some hardware

Regarding NPM compatibility: I'd be worried about potential security issues with something like npm. I recognize that one must already put a lot of trust on developers when using extensions, but I'd worry NPM would make it a lot e

I think this thinking is exactly how it gets past testing. You could force every engineer to have a CPU meter, but that alone won't help; they'll ignore it, assume it was a coworker's change that made the usage higher, or jus

Before I read this article (having just seen the title) I assumed this was going to be covering a reverse proxy system, and started pondering how I would implement something like this myself. A very basic approach probably would be simpler
