So what salary does a mid-level developer earn at a London startup at the moment? I know a bunch of people at more traditional software places (i.e. not startups) in the £40-60k range. I know a some people who've gone through accelerat

Metro is a free commuter newspaper. Mostly adverts. It's not exactly the New York Times.

Hmm, I was hoping for some impressions of using Julia for numerical computing. The mechanics of list comprehensions and uppercasing some text seem a little tangential.

Can you point out three insightful comments from below the Washington Post piece? (Time of posting ~16:19 GMT.) I'm seeing the standard "1%" and Disgruntled of Tunbridge Wells type comments that you see under every newspaper

Occlusion boundaries are always a challenge for vision algorithms. The defects you see are probably due to incorrect depth estimates in these regions. My guess is that for efficiency on a mobile device, they are using a simple window to agg

I swear Facebook is slowly turning into Lotus Notes. It's got the the little messenger panel on the right. It's got the clunky mail client, it's got the calendar and you can invite people to a meeting/party. You have to

Come on, this is a complete straw man. The article is not saying it's physically impossible, because clearly it isn't, it's saying there are legal and logistical problems to consider. Plus, following your argument you could s

Interesting, thanks for the correction. I don't think the handover issue is a fundamental problem with the drones though. For example you could receive an automated phone call to let you know the package is hovering above your house. I

That's why they don't just leave packages on the street, at least not any package I've had delivered by courier in the UK. You have to sign for it otherwise it goes back to the depot and they leave you a note.

Except you'd also have to deal with the delivery driver. It's valid to observe that a bored kid may not think much of shooting down a small unmanned quadrotor, whereas they might not be so keen to attack a delivery man or a car co

I understand what you're saying but I am referring to people I've worked with. I'm not saying that there is no bias in that observation or that a certain kind of networking will somehow turn into you an amazing developer. May
