I really wonder how this will fare during the winter. Granted, there is little sun during a snowstorm, but this will require a lot of maintenance with constant de-icing and such.

I have friends who work for artistic stuff in the video game industry. Telling good from bad in their domain is practically even harder than screening CS candidates. Every job there is, they ask for a portfolio of projects. From day one of

Maybe it is the case and it should be expected. But while it is a great tactic to increase short term cashflow to pay for employee's snacks, I fail to see how customers can like this. How many months do you think debaserab2 suscribed t

I really didn't care much about the google spamming if by some magic they managed to get me right answers. The only problem with EE is that I couldn't get anything from their spam, only links to pay for the answer. SO solved this

I just quickly browsed through the lectures and this seems very consistent with Feynman style where there is a lot of text and very little math. From his book "surely you must be joking Mr. Feynman", he mentioned that fundamental

Something that strikes me is that Da Vinci got the job mostly as a combat engineer, hired to destroy enemy forces by any means possible, but ended up creating art of various sorts and increasing human knowledge in many domains. The military

Isn't figuring out that 85 miles training is not good and optimizing it a part of the 10 000 hours thing? Every 100 hours I devote to something, I look back and think "God, was I ever that bad/clueless?". The more time y

I don't want this to sound like an anti-corporation rant, but I think that most automated workers have a hard time moving across fields and that the money "saved" is often not benefiting the company but the owners of the said

I think it's from Jeff Atwood, but I can't find the exact source. It is also rather true for Samsung Galaxy and iPhones. First memorable Windows "for everyone" is 3.1 and the list goes on and on.

"A report leaked to the Guardian suggests that the NSA can get three billion pieces of information a month from computer records alone.". 3 billion records doesn't seem to be that much. I mean, even with a desktop computer, h

So you create a doughnut of ice around the base of a rock. The base of the rock has friction reduced by the area of the doughnut while slightly scraping the bottom sand. How high does this layer of frost get?

I see Microsoft in a position similar to RIM 5 - 8 years back. They have tons of revenue from big business that are kinda locked in to their stack. There is no need for large innovation in those very mature markets and they innovate by push

Their main defense is that they operate within the boundaries of the law, which the Obama administration also claims. If they ever face a court order telling them to hand over everything, as long as it follows law at face value then their s

Clearly, this doesn't work so well. Obama was first elected around this "change" and to be frank, not much has changed. At the risk of being overly pessimistic, I fail to see how the next president will be any different. He&#

All of the remotes I've seen require physical access to an unlocked car to initiate the re-synchronization procedure between the new remote and the car. This involves complex things like starting the car 5-10 times and pressing buttons on t
