Well, I participated in one interview that took longer than an hour. It was supposed to be "an initial interview". With another to follow in a week or so. It turned into: "an initial interview; meet potential future co-worker

Well, having a $9k per month budget you could hire an entire rack in a premium data center location (let's say Telehouse London-Docklands that hosts London internet exchange - You can connect to it in a very cost effective way). This w

>Human-caused climate change means the once-bountiful snowpack that feeds the river has dwindled. Really? "human caused"? Let me remind the author (if he reads these comments) the Earth's climate it changing all the time.

Come on, it's web we're talking about here. How difficult is it going to be to scrape the data and present it in a nice format to the user? I bet apps will show up that do just that very quickly.

Interesting. Are there no easement laws in US? Here we have a law that means a landowner (in case of a public land a local council etc) can sue an owner of an adjacent plot to provide "an easement". An easement is essentially one

I'm not talking about building it from scratch.I thought this was clear by the examples I mentioned? Why reinvent the wheel? I'm looking for an open source Web shop app, not a tutorial "how to add a cart to your web page&quot

I noticed this in myself in few extreme focus situations. Mostly when driving or riding a motorcycle and suddenly having to dodge stuff at high speed.

I think if the goal is large scale electrification we're designing our electric cars wrong. Personally I'd love to have an electric car for the 99% of the driving I do. It could even have a small battery. ~25KWh would do, but on t

Very cool, but very dependent on weather too. Imagine your satellite can't send data because there is cloud cover... In some parts of the world that may last for 6 months.

Can I ask, what do people download via those private trackers? I never had problems finding anything I wanted using public tpb proxies etc.

Pity. I never used them, but I know the pain of not having an externally reachable IP. My Lte provider (the only one in my area with "unlimited" plans) has basically all of its tens of thousands of users on a single IP. So I'

Personally after I was involved with some "news" that was then reported completely wrong (not by malice, but pure incompetence) I've stopped believing anything I read or hear in the media. This was 25 years ago and the trend

I collect old computing equipment and I have a number of machines that run old software. The biggest problem with old operating systems (mostly Windows, but others too) is that modern web is unusable without TLS3 and back porting that to ol

Really good article. It is refreshing to see not all content created today has to be in a video format or if written is split into 30 pages.

Google and other content stores will promote content a lot more the more feedback it has. Good feedback is better, but bad feedback is better than none (assuming all your feedback isn bad). Feedback on play store etc *is* a gift. A gift of

I just wonder, is archive.org getting any government grant money? If they aren't they should. And I'm not even talking about just the US. All sorts of countries (US, UK, Germany - to name the few) and international organisations l

Personally I think living in a country that has been in a state of war for last 70 years makes you reassess your morality. I'm not making a moral judgement on this, I'm just saying I understand why there are a lot of companies tha

I was with you until this part: >It was JeanHeyd who called Rust out for having no Black representation among Rust conference speakers. Rightly so, as both the Rust organization and the conferences had little to no Black representation.

Exactly. Anyone who doesn't see this is deluding themselves. The biggest threat to authoritarian regimes everywhere are functional democracies their citizens can point at as an example of what they could be instead. That's the rea

Come on, it's clear this article is just a way for them to find a buyer for the mural. If someone puts a painting on your property without your permission it's called graffiti and you have the right to just paint it over. Why will

This is definitely a step in a good dieection, but why not have the battery user replaceable by unclipping the back cover? My last phone that had such user removable battery was Samsung Galaxy S6 if I remember correctly. It was a great smar

I wonder who paid who in this deal. Is free Mathematica used to prop up an OS no one uses, on boards no one can buy(for their normal prices). Or is it raspberry pi foundation taking part in Wolfram advertising? Mathematica is a very nice pr

That's a good argument /explanation. However, based on the equipment cost they mentioned (half a million $) I assumed they wouldn't be doing VLSI chips. As you said process reliability and efficiency is king there. I very muc
