I understand the concept of being "available" because my employer has a rule of core hours that one can be expected to be available for questions/meetings/whatever. At the same time though, sometimes you can learn a lot

The surface studio isn't entirely uncompromising - it comes with a really unimpressive GPU for the type of monitor it's pushing and the type of people it's marketed to. On the plus side, egpus should work with it. I do agree

I wonder if it still has just the one usb-c port on the side.

I've done python-on-spark (and a very tiny bit of scala-on-spark). The scala stuff wasn't bad, but the python stuff was more fun. What do you think about pyspark? :)

You know what sucks ass though? The 10x developer that isn't actually a 10x developer, but continually gets to start projects! So they get to do that part where you can make 80% of the program in 20% of the time. They slap it together,

Only answering this because of the ecosystem comment. I wish manufacturers would make products that work well with anything. Like Apple watches with Android phones and vice versa, Apple TV running Amazon's Prime TV app, Amazon's P

Yeah, and once Apple decided to sell their own watch, the hope that anyone else would be able to successfully integrate their smartwatch with the iPhone went out the window, unfortunately. I hate these stupid ecosystems. There are times I w

18mph is amusingly slow. You'd have to continuously just barely tap the gas to maintain that speed.

If we're sharing annecdata: Almost every programmer I know owns a Mac and loves it, and prefers working on them. Except me. My employer doesn't let me use my own computer and refuses to buy me one.

Honestly I'm fed up of how video editors act like they're the whole damn "pro" market and nothing else matters.

I wouldn't necessarily blame the "WLAN, sound, or sleep" thing on linux. I'd blame that on cheap parts manufacturers that refuse to distribute open source drivers for fear of releasing company secrets and lack of profit

And then you could use a k-map to build equations! I love the "I don't care" option xD

I get the impression most of the people on this site are workaholics.

Phone company techs are extremely defensive. (This is often the case with cable company techs, too). Source: I used to regular DSLReports. Holy crap. XD

This works for me. Although my favorite mousees are the low profile ones.

Oh, ouch! That sucks. Your product is pretty darn cool. I remember cross-comparing it and some other stuff. Only reason I didn't buy it, was the lack of a desktop webapp. (That's a serious problem IMHO.) If I were interested in mo

They could stick a GTX 1060 in there, like Razer has in their Blade 15. But that, along with the 32gb ram option, would probably result in a slightly thicker laptop with poorer battery life. But that makes me wonder: why didn't they ma

Some websites work fine on a 10 year old browser with a 10 year old computer. Others are so saturated in crappy javascript crap and auto-playing videos they'll give a modern high end machine a run for its money. I'd go out on a li

The Dell Precisions that are just rebranded Dell XPS laptops. They're nice at first but get annoying after a while. That said, the 5510 feels a heck of a lot more durable than the m3800 I used to have.

As a Mac user since 2001, what originally sold me on the 1st/2nd gen iPod was it had the capacity of the larger players without being the size of a game gear. They definitely weren't the first and they really didn't catch on

Sounds like the 'south bay' in los angeles. $3k/month buys you a crappy 1950s tract house. $4k/month gets you a nearly twice as big house.

The Computer Engineering degree I have is from an ABET program, it was pretty even on CS/EE. No regrets, except for the times the hardware guys act like I'm just a software guy and the software guys act like I don't know anyt

It's because most of the who's hiring on HN posts are small 2-3 people startups that desperately need a new programmer.. yesterday. They're not a team that can afford to bring someone up to speed, even if that person is amazi

Also embedded software, aerospace software, medical devices. Those job listings always ask for at least 5 years of experience, or 10 - and that's not for a senior position at all.

LA is enormous, and depending on your wage and housing preferences, it isn't unusual for someone to live and work on completely opposite sides!

Except the iPhone is the result of decades of Apple employees researching stuff and doing random skunkworks projects on tablets and PDAs that mostly didn't see the light of day.

Ask one of those people on here that brags about rejecting 95% of their applicants while using questions ripped straight out of "Cracking the Coding Interview" or something lol.

I live in LA and the job offerings are ok but the housing market here is out of control. Problem is, the salaries are still a little bit lower. Or a lot lower. Then again you've got the beach and some might say the dating scene is bett
